John Wilson is just your average guy, living paycheck to paycheck and working odd jobs to make ends meet. One day, he finds himself inexplicably waking up in Empyrea, a Xianxia world based on his favorite game–Nine Mystical Realms Online. It is a world where strength often dictates fate, where the heavens favor the powerful, and where immortals tread the same earth as common folk. Luckily, John isn’t a mere mortal. He has taken over the body of Jin Long, his max-level in-game character, a heretical existence. Endowed with unfathomable powers and a sense for adventure, he’s ready to tempt the fates and break the rules. Powerful sects, arrogant kings, and ancient immortals? He’ll face them all—on his own terms. As he carves his name into history, the world will soon have to ask–is John a hero, a villain, or something even greater? One thing’s for sure—they won’t know what hit them.
