Heavenly Demon: A World Without Qi

He was once the Heavenly Demon: a man shaped by the brutal laws of the Jianghu, feared by enemies and respected by those strong enough to understand him. His last battle should have ended with his death.

Instead, he opens his eyes beneath unfamiliar lights, surrounded by machines, strangers, and a language he cannot understand. The body he inhabits belongs to Kang Chan, a Korean teenager recovering from a catastrophic fall. The boy’s memories are gone. So are the instincts of modern life.

There is one discovery more unsettling than everything else: this world has no qi. Stripped of the power that once defined him, Kang Chan must learn language, family, technology, society, and the limits of a body that has never walked the path of martial arts—while deciding what kind of man the Heavenly Demon will become in a world that has never heard his name.
