The story follows Matt, a young man planning to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and killed his parents. His dreams are crushed when his Tier 1 Talent is rated as detrimental, and no guild or group will take him.

Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple. They give him a chance to join The Path of Ascension, an empire wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends.

With their recommendation and a stolen skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power.

***

Chapters will now be MONDAY and FRIDAY AT 3:00pm EST.

This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia.

So no blue boxes and clicking +’s to get stronger.

***

What you won't see in this novel:

Bland protagonists.

Bland love interests that immediately fall in love with the MC.

Murder hobos who kill entire families and clans for looking the wrong way at somebody.

Pacifist MC’s who wouldn't kill a single person to save millions.

Cartoonish villains who are bad just to be bad.

***

What to expect:

A MC who acts rationally.

World building that has more depth than ‘strong people 'stronk'. There will be no rules only benefiting the strong and no rule changes as they see fit.

An empire that actually cares for its citizens.

People who act and talk like real people.

A magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent.

Realistic fight scenes. Collapse

    Pretty good story, more than decent world building with interesting characters.
    I think that maybe 2 of the first few arc should have been a few chapters shorter but after that its stop being a problem.

    And no there is no NTR or anything like that, both the MC and FMC are sexualy active before being together, they talk about their feeling for each others, agree that they will wait before starting a serious relationship (because of extended lifespan, and immortality) and only start their relationship later.

        Did you read my review? And why would I take the trouble to find page numbers to what is an ongoing thing? The girl was in and out of other guys' beds while engaged to the MC to marry "when they became immortals"

    This has a feel to it like "Supreme Magus". The tone of the novel, more than just a little similarity between the MC and friends. Which seem similar also. Pet, needs to break bond later when she becomes human, ect.

    So, the MC was an orphan, got lucky and was scoped out by a pair of "hunters" sent by an AI to test his character. He gets a protected legal status in the Empire he is in and gets into a "hunter" school for dungeon delvers. It is a remarkably no kill society thus far in the story.

    The MC, as i compared to Supreme Magus', is sort of broken with unresolved psych issues he's going to therapy to deal with. Highly regulated society, with more of a today's world youngsters on issue such as sex and relationships. More like hooking up with lots of casual sex instead of pairing up with your own friend/companion - like Sup Mag's characters behave. Maybe I'm just too old to relate to today's generation like that, but I don't approve of that lifestyle.

    I dropped the novel because I'm a bit uncomfortable with the MC getting cucked.
    . Hmm..... this isn't my cup of tea and I'm not really relating to such a relationship.

      What chapter was that that she jumped into another man’s bed? I don’t think they were even saying at the time? Even he was sleeping around. Tbh I doubt I’ll even read this novel it seems like a harem to me

        Eh? Fairly early I suppose. The MC was even involved in several affairs with girls himself before the mission he met his "fiance". Sex is pretty casual in this book. The girls moved on from the academy.

        Not only was the female lead jumping into another man's bed, and referring to other times she did, but when the MC confessed to her, the girl refused to be an item with him - she stated it was customary only when they became immortals (for those on the path).

        So, the MC had to agree that they "would see other people" until then.

        In essence, they agreed that eventually they would marry, but the girl wanted to play around until then. Like I said, it's not my cup of tea - it would not be a relationship I'd want to be involved in if my fiance was bedding other men until the actual marriage.

        A story is made up from characters, not merely the greater plot. This situation is so pathetic that I don't care for the higher story, for the green hatter and the harlot bothers me. Additionally they lose their "child" in the future - she has to be stripped of the bond with the MC.

          Oh, worse yet... the girl was sleeping with everyone else except the MC. While introducing him to her parents as her fiance and such. Isn't that guy a joke? What a worm, a simp, a half man.

    just finished ch 241 ... the story doesnt have any kick to it anymore
    it got exponentially worse after the minkalla arc, to such an extent that its almost unreadable now.
    Had fun reading the initial chapters but it really just became too boring after a while
