Kai lived among outer disciples, scrubbing floors and filling water jars. He had no cultivation. No protection.

[Welcome, Kai.]
He blinked. "What is this?"

The scroll disintegrated into light. The symbols entered his skin. And suddenly… he understood. He could see scripts around everything. Even Qi. Even people.
The world was made of language. He could now alter it.
Not through power.
Through command.
