A Tale of Truth, Betrayal, and the Temptation of Power 1272 A.D. – The Silk Road stretches endlessly, a path paved with ambition, treachery, and forgotten whispers. Sayid ibn Rahman, a Persian scribe burdened by loss, journeys across this treacherous route in search of a fabled manuscript—one said to contain the secrets of life itself. But as his ink-stained hands turn its pages, he finds more than knowledge; he finds temptation. Hunted by a relentless military commander and a high-ranking official, Sayid’s path intertwines with Mehri, a woman shrouded in mystery—an old friend, an unspoken rival. Together, they must navigate a world where words hold more power than swords, and history is written not by the victors, but by those who control the ink. Yet, the deeper Sayid delves, the closer he inches toward the ultimate question: Is truth worth more than power? When betrayal strikes from the shadows and the echoes of an old mentor resurface, Sayid must decide—will he protect the world from the manuscript’s power, or claim it for himself? The road to destiny is woven in silk, but one wrong thread can unravel it all.

(PS: Some people don’t like plots where the main character starts at the maximum level and then suddenly resets to level 1. However, I wrote it this way intentionally. Many have given me negative reviews just because of this plot point, without even giving the story a chance. At one point, I considered stopping and starting a new book instead. But I just can’t bring myself to do it—maybe because there are still readers who enjoy it, and I’ve already put so much effort into planning everything. All that’s left is to finish writing it. So, I’ve decided to ignore the negative reviews and complete the story no matter what. Good luck to me! And to those who continue to unlock my chapters—thank you! Your support means a lot to me.)

I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes. I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain. My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly. But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity. Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens? With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die. I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.
