About

Life is finally looking up for Jon, a 25-year-old engineer and recent $100 million lottery winner. He's overcome past trauma, built a successful business, made his mom proud, and moved on from a terrible breakup. What could go wrong? Well, everything—when a casual walk to his job turns into an interdimensional abduction. Thrust into a world straight out of the xianxia novels he used to mock, Jon now faces murder-hobo cultivators and arrogant young masters with a penchant for "You Dare!" challenges. He has no interest in this "magical China"—his real life was just getting good. Worse, he's been summoned as sacrifice fodder for a heavenly demon. After a botched escape, Jon accidentally kills the only man who knew how to send him back. With dark humor and desperation, Jon navigates this new, strange world, determined to find his way home before fate decides he's the next big villain in this absurd fantasy saga.     This story is really just me having fun with a mix of everything - comedy( a good amount of it), slice of life, action, xianxia, world-building, and character-driven narratives.  This is mostly a story about a tortured young man finding his way in a new world, and not taking it too serious. Expect a somewhat slow-burn tale where a lot of elements are introduced and explained as you journey along. I loved writing this, and I sincerely hope you'll love reading it. -Ace New chapters M-W-F.
