About

Zhang Wuhen has been the laughingstock of Muddy Creek Village for eighteen years.  Called "the village idiot" by everyone except his late grandmother, he has zero cultivation talent, zero martial skill, and zero understanding of how the world works. What he lacks in ability, he makes up for with terrifying determination—a willingness to endure any pain and try absolutely anything to succeed. When sect recruitments pass him by again, he decides rejection is just a suggestion. Armed with village-fool logic and bottomless stubbornness, he'll climb their impossible mountain and knock on their front door. The sect thinks they're getting a harmless village idiot. They're wrong. Zhang Wuhen's catastrophic successes will turn ancient traditions upside down, but every victory comes with a price. The cultivation world's brutal realities don't care about good intentions, and the power he seeks will demand choices that reshape who he is. His grandmother always said he was special. She never mentioned what kind of special—or what it would cost him to find out. What to Expect: -Starts Light, Gets Dark: Begins with deadpan humor and "walking disaster" energy, gradually raises the stakes -Clueless to Strong:  First cultivation technique from a dolphin ! Zhang Wuhen knows nothing about how the cultivation world works, slowly gains understanding through painful trial and error -No Grandpa in a Ring: No system notifications, the protagonist succeeds through his own stubborn determination -Demons, devils, demonic sects, demonic cultivation: darker elements become increasingly important as the story progresses Book 1: Against All Wisdom [Completed] Book 2: Throne of Annihilation [Posting]
