The Original Seeker

"The Original Seeker" by Earl Orange follows Bai Mo, a seemingly evil protagonist who disdains race and lineage, viewing them as crutches for the weak who seek validation and fulfillment through others. The narrative centers on a lone seeker's relentless pursuit of progress. The story explores themes of power, including cultivation, soul power, and special abilities, set against a backdrop of kingdoms, wars, and soldiers. It features a modern-day setting with elements of outer space, mutations, and psychic powers, alongside vampires and the concept of a level system. Characters can be cruel, and the protagonist exhibits a ruthless, often evil, nature and strong leadership qualities, evolving from weak to strong. The story touches on nationalism and racism, with a male protagonist who develops a god-like mindset through his ruthless journey of resource acquisition and enemy elimination, contrasting with others who retain their humanity. This approach to superpowers is described as raw, chaotic, and refreshingly innovative, avoiding traditional superhero clichés.
