At the age of twenty, Keshav died in a hospital bed—his body consumed by an unstoppable cancer. But death was not the end. Reborn in a world of cultivators, spirit beasts, and power beyond imagining, he opens his eyes as the child of humble servants in a noble clan.
Unknown to him or anyone else, the disease that once ended his life has followed him into this new world—not as sickness, but as a gift.
His new body is unlike any other. Every cell devours spiritual energy. He has no dantian, no meridians, and no master to teach him the path of cultivation. But through pain, hunger, and instinct, Keshav begins to walk his own road—a pathless path—one that does not refine energy, but consumes it.
As others rise through structured systems of cultivation, Keshav evolves. Silently. Relentlessly. And when the world finally sees what he has become…
…it may be far too late to stop him.
