Rise of the Fist Demon: A New Order

In the heart of Beijing, nestled in a modest apartment, lived a boy named Wei. Wei had always been the target of mockery due to his weight, but he found solace in his family—his loving parents, protective uncle, and caring cousin. Despite his insecurities, he secretly harbored a deep fascination with martial arts. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a martial artist, but as the years passed, the pressures of life and societal expectations led him to abandon his dreams. He turned to food for comfort, and the once hopeful boy became withdrawn and overweight.

Life in Beijing was ordinary until the day it wasn't. Strange, ominous gates began appearing across the city, and from these gates, terrifying monsters emerged, spreading chaos wherever they went. The world as they knew it was changing, and no one understood why. The government tried to contain the situation, but as days turned into weeks, it became clear that control was slipping. The gates were not just releasing monsters; they were also infecting people with parasitic demons, turning humans into monstrous beings driven by a hunger for destruction.

The city fell into a state of panic. Law and order crumbled, and the streets became battlegrounds. Rumors spread about some people awakening strange powers through exposure to mana, the mysterious energy leaking from the gates. These individuals were a mix of saviors and villains, using their newfound abilities to survive or dominate others.

Wei's family tried to stay safe, barricading themselves in their home, hoping the nightmare would pass. But hope was a fleeting thing in this new world. One evening, as they gathered in the living room, the sound of glass shattering downstairs sent a chill down their spines. Before they could react, the door burst open, and a group of men, twisted by the parasitic demons, stormed in.

The leader of the group, a tall man with cold, calculating eyes, had formed a symbiotic relationship with his parasitic demon. His skin was marked with strange patterns, and a dark aura surrounded him. Beside him was another man who could extend bones from his hand, a gruesome ability that made him a living weapon. The other two were enhanced humans, their strength far beyond ordinary men, but still not as terrifying as their leaders.

"Looks like we've found ourselves a little family reunion," the leader sneered, his voice dripping with malice. He glanced at Wei's mother and cousin with a predatory gaze. "No one can save you now. There's no law and order left in this world. The strong will take what they want, and the weak... well, they'll suffer."

Wei's father tried to reason with them, but his words were met with cruel laughter. The man with the bone hand moved toward Wei's mother, who clutched her daughter protectively. Fear and rage surged through Wei's veins as he watched helplessly, his body trembling.

The leader noticed Wei shaking in the corner. He smirked and walked over to him, leaning down to meet his eyes. "You look scared, fat boy. Why don't you attack me? Show me what you've got." He chuckled, confident that Wei was no threat.

But something inside Wei snapped. His eyes, once dull and filled with fear, now blazed with a fierce, almost inhuman light. In a split second, he moved with lightning speed, faster than the eye could follow. Before the leader could react, Wei slit the throat of the man standing beside him. The knife spun through the air, landing in the mouth of another man, who staggered back in shock. Wei leaped forward and delivered a powerful kick to the knife, driving it deeper and killing the man instantly.

The man with the bone hand charged at Wei, fury in his eyes. He extended his bones, aiming to impale Wei, but Wei dodged with incredible agility. He grabbed the man's arm and twisted it with a sickening crack, breaking it in one swift motion. Wei's fist slammed into the man's stomach, shattering his ribs. The man crumpled to the ground, gasping for breath, but still alive.

Wei turned to face the leader, who now looked at him with a mix of shock and fear. The leader's confidence had shattered, replaced by the cold reality that he was no longer in control. Wei walked over to him, his eyes burning with a newfound determination.

"The world is in chaos now," Wei said, his voice steady and cold. "The rich will become poor, and the poor can become rich. No more political power will save them. Only those with strength will prevail."

The leader tried to speak, but Wei silenced him with a glare. "When I was born, I loved martial arts. I practiced every day, dreaming of a world where strength mattered. But in the old world, strength meant nothing. I became fat, complacent... but now, in this new world, strength is everything."

Wei leaned in closer, his voice a whisper filled with deadly intent. "I will rule this world."
