Martis Ashivus

32
"Cultivator’s Lantern"
Welcome to Ashivus Palace—where legends are born, heroes rise, and you? Well… you're one step away from getting kicked out. What happened? Let's unravel this beautiful disaster.
Being the youngest sibling in a family of prodigies is tough. Not because you're the "baby" of the family—but because you were born weak and, to this very day, remain consistently, impressively, hopelessly weak. If you can’t prove yourself soon, you’ll be packing your things faster than an unpaid intern on layoff day.
But hey! You had a secret weapon—your big bro, Martis! The guy who shielded you from insults, lifted you up when others looked down, and basically kept you from getting folded like a cheap lawn chair. But today? Oh, today he went big brain mode. He decided to transfer some of his power to you!
A touching moment, right? WRONG.
The second the transfer started, you felt pain so intense that even Truck-kun himself would stop mid-roadkill to hand you a "Get Well Soon" card. It was so painful that Death-kun was in the corner, taking notes for his next horror film. Meanwhile, Martis—your beloved older brother—just smiled at you like he didn’t just drop you into the deepest pits of cultivation hell.
Yeah, totally fine. Car-chan, Death-kun, and the entire Isekai Transport Committee would agree.
