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.

"Are you salty that you lost? That can't be the situation, am I right? I mean, we've had 6,978 matches, and you've won 6,233." Xasha teased even harder.

Megan ignored him and kept stomping away. Xasha watched her walk away, then did a silent celebration when he was sure she wasn't looking.

"I saw that." he heard her say without turning around.

"You saw nothing," he said as he ran after her.

"Was your vacation all you thought it would be?"

Megan smiles brightly. "You have a beautiful country."

"Maybe I'll have to go see it with you sometime," he commented carelessly.

"Oh? Are you asking me out?" Megan looked over her shoulder to ask flirtatiously.

"Yes, I'd love to travel the countryside with you. If you'll have me," Xasha flirted right back.

"Only if you tell me." Megan's expression turned cold.

"Tell you what?" Xasha feigned ignorance.

"Then forget it." Megan feigned nonchalance as she resumed her steps.
