The Midlife Martial God

Mark Bowen wakes up inside a world built around high-level martial arts, yet he has not been handed the usual gifted-youth destiny that such stories promise. Instead he finds himself a middle-aged man facing a life that has already slipped away from him. Determined to reverse his fortunes, he must rebuild his strength from the ground up while the people around him underestimate him at every turn. His quiet climb begins with a simple refusal to accept the place the world has assigned him.
