Denion

White Tiger, Crimson Demon.

In a slowly crumbling world of a long-dead immortal, two souls meet. Xin is a burnout prodigy, living a solitary life as a hunter, until one day he sees his hometown levelled to the ground by a giant boar. Lei is a street urchin, living a life of pain and abuse, forced into a criminal syndicate at a very young age. When these two meet, they are astonished by how similar and different they are at the same time, and a troubled friendship forms. This is a dark, slow-burning tale of resilience and transformation. In a world where grand narratives are forged, not given, and shortcuts are carved, not found, Xin and Lei embark on a relentless journey of martial arts, cultivation, and friendship, with its beautiful ups and painful downs. Authors note: When I say dark, I mean it. This is not a power fantasy book, although it has its payoff moments, and the mcs are meant to frustrate, to a degree.
