Right up until he was literally pulled into a portal that spat him out into another world. One that was full of martial arts. Martial arts that the practitioners of such used magic to employ. To set the very air on fire with a punch, or to turn their skin hard as diamonds. To fly through the air, if they had enough power. A world where the strong ruled, and the weak died.

Turned around and altered completely. He’s about to discover a treasure from a time long lost. Forgotten. A treasure that is going to change his destiny and give him another direction to go. If he wants it. A Cultivator. This is a VeilVerse novel.
