Still Not Human Today

Ji Ran is an immortal who has never been known for discipline, and he charges into a fight with a monster hoping to earn merit. The gamble goes badly when his inner core is shattered, leaving him stripped of his power. Worse, he is transformed into a puppet, and his once-carefree life now depends on forces he cannot easily control. The story follows a fallen cultivator trying to find his footing again after losing nearly everything that made him strong.
