He was once the lowest one in his sect—trampled, abandoned, forgotten. But death was not the end; it was the beginning of vengeance. At the rift of a dungeon, he was chosen by the system and reborn as a "Transcender". From then on, he stepped into an endless cycle of martial arts: clearing dungeons, looting divine gear, cultivating avatars, and breaking through realms. With each rebirth, his sword becomes sharper, and his killing intent becomes stronger. His sword has slain the prodigies who once looked down on him. The enemies who killed him await their final chapter in his tale of revenge. ◆Reborn for Vengeance, Upgraded Without End. Death is not the end, but the cycle's start. Bound to the system, infinite rebirth. Each rebirth begins stronger than before. ◆Endless Grinding, Insane Loot. Tempered in endless dungeons, armed with divine gear for vengeance. Every divine gear is a weapon for your revenge. ◆I Am Not Alone. We Are Legion. When Avatars awaken, solitude becomes legion. With countless skills resonating, I am the invincible one. ◆The Finale Blade, Drawing Foe's Blood. Judgment never ended—it just restarted with your sword. Carve your own path to vengeance!
