[Webnovel's Fantasy Carnival Winner]

Gale was summoned into a mysterious world of magic and monsters when some crazy practitioners messed with higher-dimensional laws.

So begins the tale of a hero. Although most of his adventures turned out to be disastrous, it couldn't stop him from becoming the most notorious outworlder in existence. 

From a destitute slave to a wandering minstrel, Gale voyaged across treacherous terrain and somehow wound up as the infamous king of the desolate Wild. 

Eventually, his insatiable thirst for power and greatness led him astray, as Gale had to change occupation again. This time as a humble farmer.

Somehow he was disastrous in that too, as accidentally, Gale developed his little farm to a holy ground of spirit arts. 

Now all aspiring practitioners—no matter whether it's a scion of Great clans or Jade beauty who can topple kingdoms—want to join.

The mark was too faint to be a fate mark, not to mention fate mark patterns weren't like this. As a genuine fate mark enthusiast and scriber, Gale knew this better than most people. 


 Essentially, a practitioner needs to get in contact with some supernatural element—naturally bourne elements, or fate locks, to be marked by fate. The mark was just a physical manifestation, as it leaves a mark on the body as well as on the spirit.


Through the mark, a practitioner's aura changes as some superpowers manifest within them.


"Do you mind if I check it closely?" Gale asked after some hesitation.


"It may be a bit uncomfortable for you," Gale said. "I have to touch there to pierce through with my Qi sense."


Xiaolin nodded, unable to meet his eyes.
