Ember Twins

Nineteen-year-old Ling Qi has nothing—no bloodline, no mystical powers, no patron. Just a mysterious black staff, a brutal killing technique forged on death's edge, and a heart frozen by war's cruelty. He haunts battlefields like a ghost, scavenging corpses for scraps to sell in shadowy black markets, trading in what the mighty leave behind. His world is suffocatingly small, his survival measured meal by meal. But in a realm where power awakens in the chosen few, sometimes the forgotten rise from the ashes with fury no one saw coming.
