Prologue: The End and the Beginning
Ling Tian sighed as he leaned back in his chair, the glow of his laptop casting a faint halo over his weary face. He had just re-read Tales of Demons and Gods for the hundredth time."Man… if I were there, I'd help Nie Li smash those bastards even faster," he muttered, stretching. His life was simple: coding by day, anime and manhua by night.Not that it mattered now. A flash of pain tore through his chest. His vision blurred. He collapsed before he could call for help.
Death was cold.Silent.Final.
Or so he thought.
A pull — like the tug of a thousand threads — yanked his soul through endless darkness.When he awoke, he found himself staring at a vast blue sky, the scent of wild grasses in his nose.His hands — they were small, calloused from training. His body — young, full of strength.He recognized this feeling immediately.
This was Glory City.This was the beginning.
"I've been reborn into TDG..." Ling Tian whispered, awe and terror flooding his heart."But I'm not Nie Li. I'm me."
And this time, he would not just watch from the sidelines.
