Born under the grim star of Heavenly Slaughter, fated to spill blood wherever he set foot, he refused to unsheathe his blade, dreading the ruin it would visit upon the world. He could see what lay ahead, yet chose to look away — and the cost of that indifference was catastrophic. His clan was wiped out, his family put to the sword. Only at the threshold of death did the truth finally reach him: Heaven never punishes the wicked, karma is a lie, and justice is merely a comforting fantasy the powerless cling to. The instant that understanding took hold, a forbidden scripture materialized before him — the 'Sutra of Vanquishing Darkness and Rending the Heavens,' a heaven-defying text born of the pooled grudges of humanity, heaven, and earth. 'If Heaven will not pass judgment, then I shall do it myself.' Embracing the dark, he returned as the Ruler of Darkness, sworn to punish every sin and bring the sword of reckoning down upon this rotten world.
