System State [LitRPG + Mana Cultivation]

Power knows no master, only rivals willing to usurp it. Torin had been sheltered from this truth. Just a young boy living in a fringe hamlet, he grew up blissfully unaware of the power that had been hidden inside him. Some forces are too ruthless to ignore. In a world where anyone can level up and grow strong, the State monopolizes cultivation resources to ensure its own supremacy. For them, Torin's beloved home was just another dot on a map to crush. But the State did not know what their greed would one day unleash. After growing up and confronting his dark past, Torin unlocks the ability to circumvent cultivation requirements while leeching unique Traits from others. Armed with unlimited potential and a thirst for revenge, Torin will do whatever it takes to tear this broken system down. Brick by brick . What To Expect: [+] A High Fantasy LitRPG setting. [+] Weak-to-strong-to-OP MC. [+] Brutal combat where hate-worthy villains meet cathartic ends. [+] A dual progression system that mixes levels / classes / skills with Western cultivation (Mana + Cores, not Qi + Dantians). [+] Skill / Trait grinding (though not immediately). [+] No harem. Minimal romance. [+] Content tags exist to give me freedom, not to bombard readers with endless misery. [+] That said, the opening chapters are dark and may not be suitable for young readers. Chapters released daily at 8:00GMT for at least the first month. Average ~2.5k words each.
