In a world where destiny is written, what happens when someone learns to edit it?

The world is a scroll, ever-unfolding. Every life, every battle, every breath is scripted by the ancient Ink Dao — a system of divine calligraphy that weaves fate into form. Here, the blade is secondary; true power lies in the stroke of a brush and the weight of a single word.

Mo Jianli, born mute in the slums of the Outermost Margin, was never meant to matter. But when he accidentally writes a single forbidden character and makes a man vanish from reality, everything changes. Cast into the secrets of the lost Scrollkeeper Clan and bonded to the mythical Null Brush, Jianli gains the power to not only read fate — but to rewrite it.

Now hunted by ink-wielding assassins, ancient archivists, and gods who fear the erasure of their script, Jianli must master the martial art of the written word. From duels fought through semantic traps to realms made entirely of forgotten manuscripts, he journeys to uncover the First Word — the source of all creation.

But the question remains:
If you could rewrite the world, would you save it… or start again?
