Once, there was nothing, and the Mists were lonely. A simple brush painted all of creation. The Clear Sky Brush vanished for countless ages. And now it’s back…

Life for Cha Ming is a daily grind. A rat race where people don’t make any real decisions. When he asks the universe for something more, fate itself answers his prayer. A talisman brush older than time itself sends him to another world, where magic, fortune, and danger await.

Now, the world is at his fingertips. He has a new life, a new body, and can wield the five elements. It’s too bad his new home is a place where might makes right, and immortal cultivators and demons fight at the drop of a hat.

A game of universal proportions is unfolding. The Clear Sky Brush is at its center. The power to choose comes at a heavy price, and creation itself will pay it.
