The Forsaken Sword System

Sixteen-year-old Feng Yao lives in the remote village of Stoneshade, training under his father, a Body Refining stage five cultivator, using only a crude mortal-grade body tempering technique. His life is shattered when his father is mysteriously killed—his death disguised as a bandit raid, but the wounds reveal precision too clean for mere thieves. With no resources, no clan, and no spiritual roots, Feng Yao begins a solitary, grueling path of cultivation fueled by quiet rage and the desire for answers. A dormant Sword System, long buried and stripped of power to survive its host's assassination, binds itself to Yao. Originally a powerful parasitic system, it has now been reduced to nothing—but it sees potential in this broken boy. With its aid, Yao begins walking a dangerous, blood-soaked path filled with sword cultivation, hidden enemies, and system-driven growth. What he doesn’t know: the one who killed the immortal cultivator still hunts across worlds—for system users like him. And sooner or later, they will find him.
