Rumor Immortal: I Get Stronger Every Time They Lie

In this world, nobody cultivates qi. They cultivate fame. Your strength is exactly how many people believe the stories told about you. Sects are media empires. Bards are weapons. Every star in the night sky is somebody the world still remembers. Lin Bo is a tired clerk in the Bureau of Minor Corrections. Nobody has ever believed a single thing about him. He would like to open a noodle shop and be left alone. Then a mugger puts a knife to his ribs in a market alley — and Lin Bo sneezes.[ DING. ]A NEW LEGEND HAS BEEN PUBLISHED.” LIN BO — HE WHO FELLED A DEMON KING WITH A SINGLE BREATH.” Reach: 400 souls and climbing. Belief: 12%… 19%… 31%… Was this legend helpful? There was no demon king. There was a sneeze. But four hundred people read it. Four hundred people believe it. And in a world that runs on belief — that makes it true. Now the rumors won’t stop, and neither will his power. Every lie about him makes him stronger. Every denial makes it spread faster — deny hard enough and the heavens start taking notes. He becomes a tournament champion. He becomes a Legend, then a Myth. He becomes the most powerful being who has ever lived, and he never trains a single day. A swordswoman who climbs the ladder right behind him. A deadpan fact-checker who catches every one of his lies and stays anyway. A girl with a loud mouth and a shorter temper who builds him an army out of strangers. And an empire that deletes people from history, which has decided a fraud this bright cannot be allowed to keep shining. There’s only one problem with being the most famous man alive. The world is quietly dying of forgetting — and the biggest lie ever told about Lin Bo is that he’s the one who can stop it. He can’t. Not alone. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Rumor Immortal: I Get Stronger Every Time They Lie — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
