He became an elf for vengeance, but to obtain it, he must pursue a Path balanced to every aspect of cultivation. Terra conquered the solar system, thriving in a century-long golden age of technology and prosperity. But this was all wiped away with Mana's Arrival, Humanity rebuilding in a scramble for Mana-based technology. As Terra slowly regains its lost power, strange elven people invade from far beyond, their cultivation overwhelming all that humanity can muster. Those damn elven cultivators took it all from him, from the lunar mining station he’d known his whole life to the very last of his family. Humanity itself is on the brink of total defeat. But Axl fought back, killing his way into one final, desperate mission. A last stand turned into a fresh start, the crumbling lunar forces somehow implanting him into an elven body far behind enemy lines. This takes the fight back to the invaders, and he is ready for bloody vengeance. Axl now finds himself in a strange, fantastical world of abundant Mana and a pervasive System that allows him to become far more powerful than he ever imagined. No humans in sight, he is surrounded by elves and sentient beasts in the poisoned ruins of a city ravaged by a legion of undead. In this hostile land, he needs to navigate his newly found cultivation Path, both in sword, alchemy, and the mysteries of the Dao. All in the hope of giving humanity a foothold in this new world, to help claw back the Sol system from the elven cultivators waging a brutal war of extermination against his people. Inspired by Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter, Path of Ascension, and Azarinth Healer. This is a fast-paced, action-packed progression fantasy litRPG with crafting elements, plus a splash of sci-fi and city-management. Over 110 chapters are written and ready to be released 4 times a week (average chapter length 2500 words) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
