Sky Pride

The heavens marked him for death before birth. He should have died in the womb, as an infant, when his family was slaughtered, when his house burned, when he woke in a dump with missing fingers and rotting diseases. Even the magic ring with a ghostly grandpa inside was sabotaged. A reasonable person would quit. Tian isn’t reasonable—and neither is Grandpa Jun. In a world where immortality is cultivated, miracles are forged, not given. A broken boy defies fate and soars. No harem. Earned power. A protagonist who’s neither saint nor psychopath. Daoist cultivation, sects, flying swords, and young masters needing face rearrangements. Daily chapters, 2k words.
