The Progenitor's Stride

Long before the world knew Qi, martial arts, sects, clans, or powerful factions, human history was only just beginning.
Humanity was divided into two peoples: the Highlanders and the Lowlanders.
Among the Highlanders lived an ordinary young man named Raydiel Maghiri. Unlike those around him, he had grown weary of the endless monotony of primitive life. The only thing that stirred his heart was the unknown—seeing places he had never seen, discovering what no one had discovered, and learning what no one had learned.
So he set out to wander the world.
It didn't take long for reality to crush that dream. In every corner of the world, the weak were at the mercy of the strong.
Irritated by that simple truth, Raydiel reached an equally simple conclusion.
If strength was the price of freedom, then he would become the strongest first.
Without ever intending to, or even realizing it, his journey would forever change the course of history. The path he forged would usher in the age of Qi, martial arts, sects, clans, and the martial world itself.
This is the story of the man who unknowingly became the progenitor of the martial world.
