The Jade Shadows Must Die [Cultivation LitRPG]

Everywhere, people use the System. But Rix has a tiny speck of something else. Something called ‘qi’. Rix has one goal in life: to kill the eight criminals who murdered his family. But his targets aren’t just ordinary mortals. They’re Martial Souls — warriors of legend fueled by mana, with System-granted techniques and mastery of weapons that can challenge the heavens themselves. As far as the System is concerned, Rix isn’t special. No martial foundation. No corporate techniques. No god-tier potential. Just a list and a grudge. To exact his revenge, he needs power. Real power. And there’s only one place he knows that will give it to him. Spiritlock Prison —  a place where even low-tier nobodies can become monsters. If they survive. The plan’s simple: get locked up, dive into a dungeon crawling with entropy-spawned horrors, and pray he doesn’t get torn in half on day one. His odds? Laughable. His stats? Rock bottom. But deep down, Rix has a tiny speck of something no one else does. Something the System forgot. Something called ‘qi.’ TWO chapters a week on Tuesday/Friday What to expect: - A few chapters to build to the action, but once we get there, the pace ramps up - Detailed, kinetic fight scenes  - Weak to strong to OP MC, but at a measured pace. Rix starts weak and works hard to get stronger. - A fresh combination of LitRPG and cultivation that won’t turn into entire chapters of meditation - A smart, morally grey MC who makes mostly good choices, but isn’t a total logic robot or murderhobo - Third person POV almost exclusively focused on MC - Group dynamics and elements of found family as the story progresses - No harem
