This is the Star Martial Age.
Humanity has spread among the stars, yet peace has never truly come. Countless alien races lurk in the dark cosmos, eyeing human territory hungrily. Only those with powerful martial strength can protect their homes and stand at the peak of the era.
But power is never equally distributed.
The core planets of the Federation enjoy endless resources, advanced cultivation techniques, and the best training conditions. The nobles and powerful families hold most of the wealth and strength, living in luxury and glory.
Meanwhile, the outer-ring slums are forgotten corners of civilization.
People here struggle to survive every day. Resources are scarce, injuries are common, and hope is a luxury. Most are trapped in poverty for their entire lives, unable to change their fates. They are abandoned by the era, living in the shadow of the strong.
Yet even in the deepest darkness, a single spark can start a flame.
In the filthy, desolate slums, a young man refuses to bow to his destiny. He will climb up from the lowest place, break through all barriers, and fight his way to the light.
This is his story.
A story of a slum boy rising in the star martial world.
