The Omniversal Vagrant
Li Wei,who once reached the peak of existence—that incomprehensible threshold where thought and the void merge, and universal laws dissolve into truth itself—has returned to the past. In this return, he lost control of his vast laws and powers, becoming trapped in a mortal body. He retains memories of his previous life, but these are only intangible fragments, impossible to fully control or use while his fragile mortal existence confines him. Unable to override this world's rules, his destiny is tied to it, forcing him to be just another person in its intricate web.
Awakening as a simple vagabond in a ruthless and cruel Murim, where ancient clans like the Righteous Sect factions, the Murim families, and the fearsome Demonic League vie for control, Li Wei must climb from scratch. His only hope lies in two unusual artifacts: the enigmatic Mirror of Truth, which not only reveals weaknesses and allows him to modify or create martial techniques at a brutal cost in energy and treasures, but also offers a glimpse into cosmic truths; and the System of Ascension, a separate entity that rewards him for defeating or subjugating powerful individuals, and grants access to a hidden shop with Murim lineages and treasures at astronomical prices. With these treasures, Li Wei must be astute, accumulating resources and overcoming difficult battles, always vigilant not to be exposed while devising complex plans to ascend.
But this Murim is not what it seems. Beneath the veil of known factions, a clandestine group of Divine-Level Murim Overlords—forgotten legends, both men and women—secretly manipulates the world. It is a modified realm, perhaps a creation or an experiment of an unknown god. However, for Li Wei, the true terror lies in the chilling suspicion his sealed memories hint at: this world, like many others, might be nothing more than an illusion.
His obsession with true reality drives him beyond the Murim. He knows there are ancient immortal worlds and magical universes, some based on Earth's novels and parallel universes created by common human minds, sometimes others products of the fantasy of unknown gods residing beyond comprehension. But the search for truth is not merely a goal of power or longevity; at that level of strength, years of life or power no longer matter. It is a search for a truth that feeds his being, a truth that isn't controlled. Li Wei yearns for a reality where there is no external control or hidden influences, a place where his existence, however insignificant it may seem, is genuine. A truly real universe where only truth matters.
This desire compels him to face the unknown, willing to die or press on. He seeks access to universes that are not novels or known parallels, to true worlds where no gift or conspiracy exists, only raw survival without luck or predetermined limits. There, the power of the Mirror and the System might become useless. Li Wei is willing to fall into the nirvana of death or to follow that faint ray of hope guiding him towards a real universe, where the only law is the struggle for supremacy and survival, increasing the danger that he might not survive, nor will any of his powers function at all.
