Summary
Time is money。 Time is a Weapon。 Time is running out。
Grant Leap is an orphaned， mortal farmhand in a world where cultivation methods and Weapons of Power are jealously guarded and only passed down among family。 He’s not content with his lot; as a Januarian， someone living in District January， he should be living the good life just like everyone else。 Food， parties， food， entertainment， and food are the minimum requirement。 As an orphan， specifically a reviled Leap， there’s not even a chance of being treated as a human。
When a celestial event pours time magic into his field， coalescing into a lost Weapon of Power， Grant leaps at the opportunity to advance beyond even the scope of standard cultivation。 At the first touch of the weapon， the orphan gains everything he’s ever wanted: a Sword and a Name。 Also， a pesky mandatory quest with his life as the price of failure。 It doesn’t take him long to realize that the best thing for him to do is to sell it and live on borrowed Time。
Yet， that would never happen。 The blade offers him the first major choice he’s ever had to make: surrender to his desires… or live like a King。

At the beginning this book seems like a regular cultivation novel。 Then comes the food。 So much food。 So much gluttony， obesity， excess。。。 and that's just in the first 50 pages！ With a system based off of the calendar， it is easy to understand the structure and how things are organized in this world。 It is still very approachable for anyone new to LitRPG， but also fun and fresh for any established fan。 As an aside， the gluttony is not a positive thing， but a widespread ailment in this first book At the beginning this book seems like a regular cultivation novel。 Then comes the food。 So much food。 So much gluttony， obesity， excess。。。 and that's just in the first 50 pages！ With a system based off of the calendar， it is easy to understand the structure and how things are organized in this world。 It is still very approachable for anyone new to LitRPG， but also fun and fresh for any established fan。 As an aside， the gluttony is not a positive thing， but a widespread ailment in this first book。 It's more a commentary on complacency and control of the masses than any type of body image diatribe。 If you like snarky swords， dissing turkey bacon， and cultivation， then read this book。 I devoured it in two days。 。。。more
