First Fist

TJ Reynolds

C58/100
Once a soldier, now an outcast. Luca must overcome fate as he walks the path of a cultivator, seeking the Seventh Bridge to the Heavens. Few men served Mindea as faithfully as Luca during his years in the army. When every Elixir of Awakening failed to rouse his dormant core, he relinquished his dreams — only for even that to be torn away when his men collide with an unexpected fate. A monk from distant Shuya who wields all the elements at once forces Luca to question everything he knows about cultivation. Now exiled, he must gather allies, battle Mana Beasts, and ascend as quickly as possible — for enemies are already stirring in the distant reaches of Andaya.

And soon, that fact will terrify his creators and their enemies alike.

A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Earth stands dead. Follow a broken man's desperate journey as he searches for freedom — trying to generate enough power to escape not just from a ruined Earth, but from the remnants of human colonies now controlling the solar system, who see him as little more than a machine. It won't take long for him to discover that the universe is nothing like he imagined. The emptiness he envisioned isn't there, nor is the easy life of leisure he dreamed of. Instead, danger and opportunity lurk around every corner — and for those not brave enough to face them, only death awaits.
