You were supposed to be in your room—curled up with a blanket, reading Heirs of the Boundless Path, the novel series you’ve obsessed over for years.

You knew every arc. Every twist. Every tragedy and triumph of the Five Sovereign Paths.

But then... the words began to shift.

The ink bled off the page like spilled starlight. The world around you twisted—walls folding inward, colors unraveling, sound warping into a thunderous silence.

And then—falling. Not your body, but something deeper. Selfhood, slipping through some unseen crack in the heavens.

---

You awaken to the scent of incense. Distant chants. The air is thin, charged with Qi. Something ancient recognizes you, though the people here don’t.

Your memories are intact... but your body is not your own.

This world… it’s not just fiction anymore. You are inside the story.

But there’s one small problem:

You don’t know what role you’ve been assigned.

✦ Who are you, really?

(Choose your initial identity. It may change during the story.)

📜 Sect Leader – You awaken mid-ceremony, eyes of a hundred disciples upon you. What sect? You’ll find out.

⛰️ Elder – You have authority, wisdom… and enemies you don’t remember making.

🌿 Disciple – Young, earnest, and underpowered. Just like the protagonist—wait. Who is the protagonist?

🛤️ Wandering Cultivator – No home, no ties… but a strange artifact pulses in your robes.

☯️ Powerful Cultivator (Divine Path) – Your aura terrifies mortals. Your past? Blank. Your influence? Tremendous.

🔥 Powerful Cultivator (Demonic Path) – Your soul burns with wrath. Your name is feared—but you don't know why.

👥 Unnamed Extra – You weren’t supposed to matter. Yet something watches you when no one else does…

---

And beyond the familiar Five Paths, something else stirs—the possibility of a Sixth.

Something even the novel never revealed.

Welcome, traveler. The world awaits your choices.

Heaven’s Veil trembles.
