Jiang Wei was an exhausted New York product tech until a black-haired woman touched him in an alley and turned him into an emperor penguin. [Penguin Evolution System initialized.] Now he earns Evolution Points by surviving what his human body never could. Pressure Heart. Countercurrent Sense. Abyssal routes. Rookery bonds. Every upgrade makes him stronger, stranger, and less certain that becoming human again is the right goal. Aylin, a princess from a world being eaten by Yokai, needs Jiang to cross worlds and break their hidden soul cores. She also failed three candidates before him, and one may still be alive. To save two worlds, Jiang must dive through haunted oceans, build a colony, survive warped history, and evolve from one furious penguin into something even gods cannot classify. The system calls him incomplete. The rookery calls him stranger. Soon, entire worlds will call him Emperor.
