From The Publisher:

Died for a cause.

Johnny's tombstone would read like something you'd find in a dime novel at a used bookstore. Going out like a snuffed candle, his life ended just as it had really begun.

Now he's been given a second chance to fight his way out of the corner he put himself into.

In a world of brawls, dirty fights, and hard-hitting cultivators, he must win. Because if he loses, he'll lose more than just the fight, and it won't be his life. He already managed that once, after all.

Warning: This slice-of-life, slow-burn, gamelit story contains adult themes, undefined relationships/harem, and graphic violence.
