God is dead, cultivators killed him years ago. 

But Shawn doesn't know that; he just got isakai'd here. All he knows is that he has been gifted the ability to steal the powers of his defeated enemies. 

Alone and confused, he wanders the city of the future, Najian. At first, it is a dream come true for him: robots, magic, and flying cars pack the streets.

Beneath the glamour of technology and magic, lies a corrupt society. Ancient sect elders have taken control of every aspect of society and rule from the shadows. Under their rule, the city is run off of a mysterious set of rules and traditions that only seem to benefit the strong. 

There is no place for weakness in Najian. Unfortunately, Shawn is weak.

Unwilling to be trampled upon, Shawn becomes ruthless to survive in this strange new world.
