I Died, He Lost Everything

Synopsis

Master Stone made me give up half my sword heart to save Sylvia—who'd sunk into darkness. Everyone in the Evercrest Sanctuary kept pressuring me to be generous. "You're the oldest disciple. You're the only one who can save her. Don't be selfish." I stared at the man who once swore he'd protect me for life—now pointing his sword straight at my chest. The weight of this endless, immortal life made me feel sick. "You want my sword heart? Half isn't enough for you, is it?" With only my bare hands, I ripped open my own chest. In the crowd's terrified gasps, I ripped my still‑beating heart free and tossed the bloody, mangled thing at Master Stone's face. "Take it! Take it all! I'm done with this filthy world of cultivators!"
