Life had never been kind to Luan.
Born in the dingy slums, walked on the dirty uneven roads all his life, parents dead when he was just a small kid, and treated like trash by everyone.
But he had never complained, at least he had a few people who would worry about him when he got into trouble, and that was what kept him going.
In spite of all this, he still held onto a dream, the dream to one day shine brighter than any star out there.
Alas, he himself knew that it was impossible for a slum mutt like him.
But what will happen when the danger called Dread comes knocking on his door, and following in its footsteps comes the opportunity called hope?
Where there is light, Shadows loom and Dread awakens. Let the blade of inquisition unsheathe, and cut forth a new path to a grand era once again.

Yo guys! This is my second-ever novel on this website, so please go easy on me.
This is a novel set in a grim dark world and has a protagonist who loves to fight while also having a kind heart. I have taken a bit of inspiration from Xianxia novels, so it will have ranks, but here it will be in a Victorian-era Europe-like setting.
Also, another important thing is that MC won't travel alone. As he continues his journey, he will meet new friends who might accompany him, just a heads up for those who like solo adventures more.
I will try to upload every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (emphasis on try), and 95% of the chapters will be 2k words or more.
