BOOK 1 COMPLETE (155k words). Book 2 update schedule: Mon, Wed, Fri. “Out of the myriad races found throughout the universe, ours is the most feared.” In a world where magic and ancient technology collide, Cade Ward has access to neither. A mysterious alien artifact—the godseed—rewrote his fate at birth, severing his talent for energy cultivation. His hard but peaceful existence shatters the day his mother is brutally murdered, with Cade too weak to stop it. Consumed by his need for vengeance, he's pushed to the brink of death and reforged into an Asura—an ancient race dreaded for its fearlessness and dominion over life force. At risk of being branded a demon, Cade conceals his true nature while mastering powers others would call… unnatural. Can he survive and exact revenge in a world where every cultivator is a potential enemy? What can you expect: ✅ Progression fantasy in a rich magitech universe✅ Pragmatic, fearless protagonist✅ A clash of opposites: ruthless predator vs human conscience, rage vs cold calculation✅ Hard cultivation system—power has rules and energy doesn't come from nothing✅ Unique path—mastery and manipulation of life itself✅ Action-packed battles that don’t drag✅ A touch of humor to balance out the grit Read 7 weeks (21 chapters) in advance for $5 on Patreon!Update schedule: Mon / Wed / Fri - 7:35 AM EDT (13:35 CEST)
