His mother could freeze an army with her blizzard. His father carelessly broke thousands barehanded before breakfast. So when their son was born without a single drop of power between them passed down to him — no Gift, no Aura, not even a god willing to claim him — the world called it impossible. His mother called it a disgrace. Mark "Maru" Kent was a five-year-old child rejected by every divine power in existence. Too frail to survive on strength alone, too unwanted to stay home, he's sent to the one place where there's the only hope he could become stronger — the hidden Realm of Murim, where fists are forged, not gifted. "I want my son to become strong, no matter what." -- Maru's father. This is the origin of the man the heavens forgot to bless — and the one thing in this universe that power itself couldn't buy.

This city does not reward the weak, it does not coddle the scared. But what if fear is the flame that tempers the blade of strength? What if cowardice is but the precursor to glory?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside.
