Destiny in Cinders

About this story

First, An Jing sold himself to a demonic cult for medicine to heal his mother. Then, he found an unlikely ally: a disembodied voice coming from within a rusty sword. The demonic cult was up to something, but neither of them quite knew what. Enter a world ravaged by fiends in the distant past and mountains of unending snow in the present, a world of warring nations and sects of the martial path, the world of Void Embrace. With his sword-soul companion's help, An Jing is able to slip into another world entirely: a world with the lost art of immortal qi cultivation with advanced technologies and soulless corporations that try to wipe out the competition by any means necessary.
