Way of Choices: Book 1 - Youths We Were, Schoolmates, Part One
Mao Ni - 2017
This is a story about choices, and the power of knowledge. Three thousand worlds full of gods and demons, with a daoist scroll in your hand, you are able to control the entire universe… At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the world. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent, with mysterious runes carved upon it. Through observations of these carvings, humanity comprehended the Dao and established the Orthodoxy. Thousands of years have passed. A fourteen-year-old orphan, Chen Changsheng, leaves his master in order to cure his terminal illness and change his fate. He brings a piece of marriage vow with him to the capital, and begins the journey of a rising Daoist hero! Note: This is a novel about cultivation, but it also deals far more with politics, philosophy, and education then a typical wuxia fantasy novel. There is more character introspection and interaction than pure outright action, although it has its own share of the same. The maneuverings and motivations of the parties involved in the story form the heart of the narrative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Having heard the suggestions from our fans, Gravity Tales will now take extra measures to ensure each ebook we produce ends at a place in the series that makes sense and leaves our readers feeling satisfied, yet hungry to read the next installment.
