The One Who Eats Star Clouds

[Xianxia · Martial Arts · Fantasy]

A martial-world-style Eastern fantasy.

Every fifty years, prodigies known as the Celestial Destiny Talents, those blessed with the power of stars fallen from the sky, appear in the world. Their talent is so extraordinary that the world is always shaken by them—whether in good ways or bad.

When the time comes for a Celestial Destiny Talent to be born, Xingyun, a young errand boy at an inn who is persecuted by a group that wants to claim them for themselves, meets the strange expert Gui Hyeok and becomes his disciple. Though born on the same day as the Celestial Destiny Talents, Xingyun possesses no talent at all. Gui Hyeok tells him of one way to surpass the Celestial Destiny Talents, and that way is...

“Money.”

“...Huh?”

Seeing Xingyun’s eyes go wide, his master smiles confidently and says:

“What humans build is ultimately valued and traded by money. We will surpass the talent of heaven with money.”
