Hello! I enjoyed reading the story, but I have a question. In the game when Mark uses his "body attack" energy blasts Just bounce off him. But here in the novel, the blasts hit Mark. Why?

Main area of improvement: the action scenes are written in the same way as when describing scenery - with very long flowing sentences and in a rather academic way. As a result, the sense of urgency and momentum is lost.
Compare:
1) Mark swung his fists and jumped in front of the three,
wanting to attack, with his lackeys following behind him. Seeing the
opponents charging at them, the three did not dare slack off either.
Just as Mark was almost in front of them, they nimbly leapt to the side.
2)
Mark jumped at them with his fists, his lackeys in tow. The three leapt aside, nimbly dodging at the last second.
I think it also comes down to the way the story is translated from chinese to english. "拳头不长眼睛" is a distinctly chinese way of saying that people are going to get hurt if things get out of hand. The meaning is lost on non-chinese english readers when literally translated to "my fists won't grow eyes".

Quick read on it (<8 mins read).
My english wasn't perfect, so don't take this comment seriously, just random ppl on internet.
This wasn't even a complete Chapter so my opinion isn't worth at all.
I got 3 things in my mind ;
1. "King"
I assume it's for Julian? If it's not Julian just skip... Then you seems to go with a King who possess with a Demon Power backstory for Julian here?, while that is fine, but since he doesn't own any "Sword" skill on his movement, i prefer a True Demon backstory.
2. "Three young men"
i guess i want more of their backstory on the first chapter rather than just as a random ppl spawned and carrying some wood. And why you use Julian image here? You should use Davis Dennis and Woody image.
3. "Lion Rock Village"
A random village name while you have "Tai Hom Village", yes it's an actual village in chinese, but.... well at least you use "Lion". Nvm
3. Too much words for a fight?
The 1/2 of this whole text is about Three Young Men vs Mark and his teammate. Something like "Davis obliterate Mark himself" to show how strong this Three Young Men would be better ending for a first introduction chapter i guess. I mean they're going to fight a Demon, yet sound too much struggle against Mark? "Ready to unleash their strongest techinque"... erm... ermm....
That's all, "tengks".
