Snake of Cause
When Alex Chen dies in a high-speed motorcycle crash, he expects nothing more than oblivion. Instead, he awakens beneath a triple-shadowed sky in a world ruled not by physics, but by karma — where cause and effect are forces to be bent, traded, and weaponized. Reborn into a realm of cultivators and karmic contracts, Alex finds himself gifted with the one thing he's always understood best: a system. Cold, calculating, and emotionally detached, he quickly realizes this world’s cultivation is built on exploiting the invisible threads that connect action to consequence — and he intends to master them all.
Armed with a mind like a machine and a soul scrubbed clean of sentiment, Alex steps into a new life where fate is currency and manipulation is cultivation. As he ascends through deadly trials, spiritual economies, and cosmic debts, one question guides him: if karma is a machine, can a man become its engineer?
Snake of Cause is a cerebral and gritty fantasy that blends Eastern cultivation tropes with Western philosophical fatalism, featuring a morally ambiguous antihero who seeks not justice — only control.
