Jacob Monroe was a low-level gangster who made all the wrong choices growing up in the streets. After years of running with the wrong crowd, the death of his mentor caused him to turn his life around, leaving the violence and crime behind. With a daughter to protect and a future to build, Jacob thought he was finally on the right path—until betrayal and a deadly shootout sent him spiraling into the unknown.

Waking up in a strange new world, where the rules of survival are unlike anything he’s ever known, Jacob finds himself thrust into a land of ancient martial arts, mystical cultivation, and brutal power struggles. Here, strength reigns supreme, and those with ambition claw their way to the top. With no one to guide him, Jacob must rely on his street smarts, instincts, and the mysterious ring he’s received from his late mentor to survive in this harsh new reality.

But his past isn’t so easily left behind. In a world where cultivation and inner power dictate destiny, can a former gangster navigate the path to greatness, or will his old ways be his downfall? Armed with nothing but his determination and the lessons of his past, Jacob must rise through the ranks or be crushed by those stronger than him. One thing’s for sure: in this world, only the strong survive.

Follow Jacob on his journey from the streets to the peaks of cultivation and the cosmos, as he battles enemies, builds alliances, and carves a new path in a world where even a gangster can rise to the heavens.
