To protect my family, I became a Devil.
To protect my people, I became a God.

In Semeria, the war for cultivation resources is as old as time and as constant as the rising and of the sun. Even in the Abandoned Region, where the energy was so poor and polluted that one wouldn’t send their worst enemy there, had endless conflicts for resources. Humans had been living in this nightmare made a reality, fighting over what anyone else on the continent would consider crumbs for millions of years.

Enter Xasha, husband, father, patriarch, Genius, artificer, creationist, and leader of the Falling Stardust Trading Company, who learns the truth of the world from three remnant souls he met on a journey. Having learned they had been living like frogs in a well. Humanity reluctantly united under Xasha’s rule and sets off. Determined to rise from their standing and one day ruling the entire continent.

Xasha soon realizes their strength, even combined, was the weakest on the continent. To become stronger, they needed better resources. But all the lands had landlords and all the resources had owners. He could not turn back, they could not give up. He had a person to elevate, a family to care for, and a daughter who had a powerful and mysterious entity eyeing her from afar, to protect.

In order to achieve any of his goals, any of humanity's goals. Those landlords had to die, their people had to be pillaged, and their lands had to be plundered. He inadvertently fell into the cycle. According to the Laws of cultivation.

Law of Cultivation:
To cultivate: acquire and retain resources.
To acquire resources: plunder and pillage.
To retain resources: Leave none Alive.

Falling Stardust

"So, why did you sign the contract?" Xasha asked as he sat across from Luther, who scowled at him dangerously.

The two of them were in the sitting room of Xasha's tower on his airship. The airship parted the sea of clouds heading north toward Kyro. Xasha was casual as usual. Luther pretended to be calm while unknowingly wearing his heart on his sleeve. Xasha found that these types of people made for great enemies, but shitty allies. He didn't mind, as he never considered him an ally. The soul contract is more of a non-aggression pact to guarantee peace and time to grow. It also doesn't hurt to have a powerful bodyguard to protect them while Falling Stardust is still weak.

Luther looked at Xasha disdainfully, not even bothering to answer his question or acknowledge his existence.
