Path to Survival: Part One - Entering the Game

In the late Taikang era of the Western Jin dynasty, chaos brews, heralding decades of turmoil. The elite clash in a revolving door of power, while the common folk suffer. A beggar boy, Yang He, stumbles into a political murder. He escapes and is brought to the Prince of Qi's mansion, standing before the renowned scholar Zhang Hua. Zhang teaches him no martial arts or strategy, only seven words: see, remember, organize, reference, identify, match, synthesize. Yang He spends months honing these into instinct. This is the story of a beggar boy climbing from the bottom. With no background or allies, only eyes that have seen too much evil and a sharp memory, he uses his talent and learned skills to carve a path to survival for himself and those as wretched as him in the coming chaos.
