Chapter 27: Balancing Life and Death
He knew that his only hope for change lay in the Life and Death Technique.
In this world, a person's innate physical strength and potential were closely tied to their affinity with the world's spiritual energy.
The stronger their connection to it, the more physically powerful they were.

They had so few people, yet they could crush large villages in battle and even stand their ground against government soldiers.
That wasn't something an average person could compete with!
