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.
A very large boat landed against the Bridge Fort's dock; the warriors were alert and manned the walls. Wuyi was waiting on the dock. There were warriors and crossbowmen in the boat, but what caught his attention was that the boat was full of women. He could feel that these graceful ladies had cultivated, each more beautiful than the last. When he expected that the king would send some people to support them, it wasn't what he expected at all.
One woman—short and harried—stood on the foredeck. "I need a healer," she said. "A good one."
Wuyi turned to Jia. "Get me a warrior of the Lotus Order," he said. Then he turned back. "They are superb healers." Unfortunately, they had gone on a raid to clear the trench at dawn, and they hadn't returned.
"I know," she spat. "How long?"
"A few minutes," he said, hopefully.
"She doesn't have a few minutes," the woman said, her face cracking. She seemed to clamp down on a sob. "She's lost a great deal of blood."
