His ultimate goal isn't power or conquest, but absolute freedom — liberation from death, from the control of powerful lords, and from the confines of this world. Meet Wuyi, formerly a gangster's accountant, now reborn in a world torn between the Righteous and the Demonics. Gifted with a unique ability by the gods of his previous life, Wuyi possesses an exceptional edge in this new realm. While Wuyi yearns for a peaceful life, he's not afraid to become the villain that this world might need. Determined to secure his freedom, he's prepared to upheave this world, paying no heed to its moral divides. He will not rest until he attains the deepest desire of his soul.

Yun Ming was visibly upset that these two had left the camp in a dangerous forest without any care, yet his voice remained calm. "What on earth were you two doing?" he demanded.
"Reconnaissance," Wuyi confessed, managing to shrug nonchalantly. He felt quite proud of that shrug.
