The Verdant Phantom

In the ancient Emberveil Dominion, where secrets are currency and flames can whisper forgotten truths, a disgraced disciple is offered a second chance. But when he touches the First Ember, he doesn't awaken power—he awakens memories he never lived, and truths that shouldn’t exist. As betrayal, guilt, and a thousand forgotten identities unravel inside him, he begins a slow descent into a power system unlike any other: one born of lies, built on ashes, and ruled by a flame that demands the ultimate price. In a world where knowing too much can kill you… what happens when you are the secret? — A cultivation story for those who crave mystery, emotion, and an MC who walks the path between salvation and madness. Inspired by Lord of the Mysteries, Battle Through the Heavens, and Swallowed Star.
