Nathaniel Cross has spent three years being told that he is worthless.At the dying Waning Moon Sect, his spirit-root is considered useless, his cultivation has barely progressed, and even his endless dedication to training has earned him nothing but ridicule. His only concern is Serena, the fragile woman whose worsening illness requires medicine he cannot afford.Desperate to save her, Nathaniel enters the forbidden ruins beyond the sect in search of Star-Iron. Instead, he discovers something far more dangerous: the Karmic Severance, a mysterious blade capable of cutting the invisible threads that bind cause and effect.The sword does not simply cut flesh.It can cut an event.An attack.An obstruction.A possibility.Even fate itself.For the first time in his life, Nathaniel possesses power that the sect's strongest disciples cannot understand. When he uses the sword during a humiliating duel, he cuts the thread of an incoming attack and turns certain defeat into victory. But his triumph comes with a horrifying price: the sword does not erase consequences. It transfers them elsewhere.Nathaniel's best friend pays the first terrible price.As Nathaniel grows increasingly dependent on the Karmic Severance, he discovers that every alteration to reality demands a sacrifice. The sword feeds on the lives, futures, and possibilities of those connected to him. Even Serena's fading existence becomes part of its terrible accounting. Nathaniel begins to understand that his miraculous victories are being purchased with the suffering of the people he loves.But the truth goes deeper.The sword is tied to an ancient lineage and a cycle created by an Immortal Emperor who once attempted to escape his own death. Generations of rulers have manipulated history, repeatedly resetting reality to preserve a false peace. Nathaniel discovers that he is not simply wielding the Karmic Severance-he is another piece in a centuries-old mechanism designed to force the world into the same choices again and again.Now Nathaniel faces an impossible choice.He can use the sword to create a perfect world, erase the tragedies that shaped his life, and restore what has been lost.Or he can destroy the very cause of the sword's existence-even if doing so means sacrificing his own destiny.Because sometimes fate is not something to defeat.Sometimes it is something you must finally have the courage to let go.The Sword That Could Cut Fate is an epic cultivation fantasy filled with cosmic mysteries, karmic consequences, forbidden power, ancient conspiracies, tragic sacrifice, and a hero forced to choose between changing the world and accepting its scars.
