Puppeteer (Skill Based Cultivation)

A Xianxia / LitRPG Progression Fantasy

Safety is an illusion without strength.

And strength requires knowledge.

Reborn into a harsh, magic-filled world ruled by oppressive noble families and dangerous entities, Vergil has no grand ambitions.

He does not crave glory, destiny, or heroism.

Deeply afraid of death, his dream is beautifully simple: gather enough strength so that he can eventually "lie flat" and enjoy a completely lazy, unbothered, and peaceful existence.

But this world does not allow the weak to rest.

Forced out of his comfort zone by a world of shifting political conspiracies, ruthless bounty hunters, and corrupt bloodlines, Vergil must adapt to survive.

In his relentless pursuit of a quiet life, he turns to the art of manipulation, forcing himself to master abilities that no one else can predict.

Through sheer caution, tactical intelligence, and absolute necessity, he climbs the tiers of power, evolving step by step until he becomes the undisputed, strongest Puppeteer the universe has ever known.

Yet, when he finally reaches the absolute peak of the world, ready to claim his long-awaited rest—

He discovers that there is an entirely separate, massive cosmic realm waiting just outside the borders of his universe.

With a single thought, he can now turn an entire world into his puppet.

But if he ever truly wants to live in peace, he may first have to pull the strings of the heavens themselves.
