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.
The archers opened the gate and the Warriors of the Lotus Order rode in, their black hooded robes hiding the gleam of armor, their black horses like nightmare creatures in the full dark.

He gazed out into the last light. Killing off the last of the Swamplings had taken another hour, and now the enemy stone throwers were throwing stones again.
