Fifteen Elites Failed to Kill the Ice Snake, So I Walked Up to It Alone

He woke up with his wrist cut open. Not metaphorically. A pool of blood on the desk, a fruit knife lying there like it was innocent, and a bowl of cold brown sugar water in his hand — because the previous owner of this body decided his last meal on Earth should be the saddest drink ever invented. Yesterday he was a doctor on Earth. Eleven years of medical school, bright future, dead of grief and alcohol the night after graduation. The universe said lol, no second chances — then handed him one anyway, on a world where superhumans fight monsters for a living and everyone's future is decided by one letter on an awakening certificate. His letter was E. He focused, strained, and summoned his mighty power into his palm. A flame the size of a ping-pong ball appeared. It flickered. It looked cold. He could maybe warm a cup of tea with it, if the tea was patient. No wonder this kid opened his wrists. Because here's the rest of the file. Orphan — parents were second-tier ability users who died holding the wall during a beast tide. Government compensation money in the bank, which attracted a girl who spent two years being gentle, supportive, understanding, and roughly several hundred thousand yuan of his dead parents' money. Then a friend mentioned she'd been getting cozy with a classmate. He asked one question. She exploded. Who are you to question me. He read the chat history once, professionally, like reviewing a patient's chart. Diagnosis confirmed. This wasn't a tragic romance. This was a scam with a skincare routine. Then he registered for the martial exam — the track that buses students into a ruin full of live monsters and grades them on kills, where every year the bodies of E-ranks come home in bags. His teacher wrote his name down like she was signing his death certificate. And the moment he sat back down, his slit wrist started burning. Beep. Host's health has recovered. Supernatural Ability Evolution System activating. Distributing A-rank Supernatural Ability: Bone Spirit Flame. What follows: fifteen of the province's elite candidates failing to kill a second-tier ice snake and retreating — and one designated clown picking up his spear and walking toward the pool alone, while a hillside of geniuses heckles him. A cloud of ice dust everyone enjoys being right about for two full seconds. And then a color of fire coming out of that cloud that makes three A-rank prodigies say the same two letters out loud. A county-town nobody outscoring last year's provincial champion. One year later: first in the city, third in the province, thirty million in the account, folded space in his ring, and a campus that calls him Demon King — mostly with affection now. But out past the city lights there's a congregation that's been collecting boys like him for thirty years. Their soldiers die with sermons on their lips rather than speak a name. And their favorite kind of sacrifice is, word for word, a young genius with no family. They know someone broke their fishing line. Sooner or later they'll pull the thread. Let them pull. He left gentle in a pool of blood on a desk. They call their god the Beast God. When they finally meet, he'll introduce them to his. It lives in his head, it pays badly, and it's very, very hungry. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⚔️ Watch to the end — the last line is the whole story. 🔔 Subscribe for daily manhwa & anime recaps. 💬 Liberal arts or martial track — which would you pick?
