De: Michel Noris

Narrado por: Seth Podowitz

As Earth is torn asunder by the arrival of mysterious and magical energy known as Qi, an extraordinary journey begins to unfold, the cataclysm birthing creatures of unimaginable power and abilities drawn from the ancient legends of humanity.

Renly Thorn is returning home for his parents' unexpected funeral. During his trip to their gravesite, he finds and reconnects with his childhood best friend and cousin, David Thorn. Little do they know that chaos would erupt as they set foot in the secluded grove to pay their respects. The fabric of reality alters before their eyes in a bright flash of light as the sudden clashing of titanic energies unleashed from the arrival of Qi to their world caused an unexpected accident, trapping them within a magical layer of flowing crystal, forever changing their destiny.

As time turns and civilization strives to rise from the ashes, Ren and Dave are awakened to a mystical realm of cultivation, a world where power is the ultimate currency, and danger lurks at every turn. Embracing their unique paths granted to them by a god-like entity and guided by a grieving elf in the ways of cultivation, they embark on a thrilling adventure filled with action and mystery.

Amidst the tumultuous landscapes of magic and wonder, the duo uncovers astonishing truths about the existence of mythical beings thought only to exist in myths and legends, revealing a hidden tapestry of enchantment woven into the very fabric of reality.

Prepare to be spellbound as you're swept into a fantastical tale of growth, discovery, and the unyielding pursuit of power, where ordinary men must rise to become extraordinary heroes as the world's fate hangs in the balance.

A study in how to start a first book in a series

This is a study in how to Start a first book in a series. How to give people interest it and 2 be Able to play with the characters The places and to get to where you need 2 start your characters out I hope that this is a success and that he puts another. Wear out very soon. It would be great to see that

better then I hoped it would be

Great plot and narration, the story was way better then I was expecting it to be.

Crossbow cultivation???

I'm a fantasy snob now I guess.
Once the MC talked about wanting a gun, n then ended up choosing a crossbow as a weapon ...I lost a lot respect for the book.
I have to say up until that point I was enjoying the story, and I was excited about the world you were building, but as soon as I read that I switched over to another book. I just have zero interest in a story built up around using a crossbow.

Ur in a world filled magic and super powers n u decide "crossbow!!!!"
As in, just move my finger a tiny bit n that's it?!?!?!
Where's the magic bro???
Nah ...I don't accept that premise Mr. Author person, and for that reason and that reason alone I have given up on u.

Maybe one day I'll try to finish the book, and maybe I'll find out that u ended up doing something to make it interesting, and if that's the case I'll eat my words and kowtow 3 times ...I doubt that will happen tho
Regardless, until then I don't trust ur judgement. The crossbow thing is a BIG strike against u.
What were you thinking!?!??!
