Hated by Fate: Cultivation in the Wasteland

Survival was supposed to be the hardest part—until Qu Jianlei discovered the wasteland held secrets far darker than starvation. Orphaned and alone in a post-apocalyptic hell, he fights to stay alive one brutal day at a time. But when mysterious cultivation powers awaken within him, everything changes. Growing stronger should be his salvation, yet each breakthrough only reveals how little he understands about this shattered world. What if the wasteland isn't a graveyard of civilization, but something far more sinister?
