Chen Yuan was just another overworked nobody, until he died of exhaustion while finishing the final chapter of his favorite dark cultivation novel, Demon Immortal Path.
Then he woke up inside it.
Trapped in the body of Lu Tian, a faceless corpse meant to die in chapter one, Chen Yuan finds himself at the bottom of a pit filled with failed cultivators, poison fog, and bone-leeches.
But Chen Yuan isn’t just another transmigrator.
He’s read the entire book.
He knows the plots. The betrayals. The forbidden techniques that lead to demonic ascension, and the brutal sects that crush anything without power.
Armed with only a corpse’s identity and a cultivation method even the devils fear. The Abyss Root Method, which grows not from Qi but from trauma, obsession, and memory. Lu Tian begins clawing his way from the grave.
He won’t be a hero.
He won’t be a villain.
He will remember, endure, and rise, no matter how deep he must dig into the abyss of his soul.
Because in this world, only demons survive.
