They Call It Cultivation… I Call It Slow Death

Check-out bonus chapters system in auxiliary chapters. ---- A world where the strong devour the weak. The cultivation world. Many dream of being reborn there. Silva never did. After trading his luck for power through forbidden magic, he died the very next day—only to awaken in a decaying corpse, his death a mystery. Now living as Lei Cheng, he inherits memories… except the most important one: How did the original body die? Before he can find the answer, a fox mark burns onto his chest—draining something from him with every passing moment. This is not a normal cultivation world. Bizarre creatures walk among humans, wearing their faces, feeding on their lives. The Martial Path is safe… but too weak to survive. The Bizarre Path grants power… but corrupts the mind, devours lifespan, and turns humans into monsters. Both paths lead to ruin. So Lei Cheng chooses a third path— One that has never existed, creating his own path. With a mysterious golden eye and the ability to enter enlightenment at will, he begins to carve his own way. But the deeper he goes, the more terrifying the truth becomes: The Dao itself is corrupted. And in this world… The stronger you become— The faster you die. --- [OP MC] [LITRPG {Secondary}] [Harem {Two max}] [Strong female lead] [Cultivation] [Horror elements] [Dark] [Smart MC] [Xianxia] [Transmigration] [Eastern] [Xuanhuan] [Mystery]
