Tome of Ten Thousand Truths
The book was written in his own blood. The answers will drown the world.
Li Zhe Ran—once a prodigy of the Celestial Sword Sect—now crawls through the Crypt of Whispers, his shattered meridians leaking spiritual rot. There, he finds it: a tome stitched from the skin of dead philosophers, its pages pulsing with cursed truths. Swallowing its words to reclaim his power, Zhe Ran awakens as a living paradox.
His body rebels:
Ribs crack into venomous orchids whispering Nietzsche’s bleakest axioms.
Blood crystallizes into chains etched with Xunzi’s warnings.
Every truth he devours feeds the Philosopher’s Bloom, a sentient rot that turns cities into forests of flesh-bound trees screaming in Sartrean despair.
To survive, Zhe Ran binds six women, each a disciple of warring philosophies:
Mei-Xing, a Confucian sword saint who kills chaos to preserve order.
Ilse, a nihilistic alchemist brewing godhood from corpses.
Lian, a poison cultivator whose kisses unravel souls into poetry.
Claire, a dualist artificer who splits mind from body—even if it kills her.
Nadiya, a Dostoevskian madwoman who weaponizes suffering.
Kotone, a Shinto exorcist bargaining with the ghosts in Zhe Ran’s bones.
But the Tome’s final truth will unravel them all... Now, his past, present, and future are colliding… and the only way to escape the loop is to destroy every truth he has ever loved.
