In a world transformed by the arrival of mana, Earth is no longer the domain of humanity alone. Magical beasts and three powerful humanoid species have claimed vast territories, forcing humanity into fortified cities protected by mana-infused barriers. 

The hope for survival lies with the awakened—those blessed with magical classes and the ability to wield mana.  

Victor Revenant, a hilarious and self-deprecating 16-year-old, has spent his life dreaming of joining their ranks. But on the day of his Awakening Test, his dreams are shattered. Like countless others, he fails to awaken, destined to remain ordinary in a world where mediocrity means irrelevance.  

Just as Victor hits rock bottom, his father gifts him a VRMMORPG game, Ascendant Realms: Cultivation Chronicles, as a consolation prize. The game promises an immersive cultivation experience, complete with mystical techniques, powerful bloodlines, and the journey to ascend to godhood. But when Victor logs in as his in-game persona, Fang Chen, he discovers something incredible: the cultivation techniques he learns in the game begin to manifest in the real world.  

Armed with the Primordial Chaos Constitution and the legendary Void Emperor Bloodline, Victor embarks on a dual journey—mastering the game’s cultivation system while using his newfound abilities to change his fate in the real world. 

What begins as an escape from his failures turns into a chance to rewrite his destiny. But Victor quickly learns that his unique ability may make him more than just an anomaly—it may make him a target...

I Can Only Cultivate In A Game

Victor dragged the massive five-foot-long sword behind him as he approached one of the officials overseeing the screening.

He cleared his throat before lifting the sword slightly.

"Uhm… so about the sword... can I keep it?"

The official raised a brow and stared at him as if he had just spoken absolute nonsense.

Several other government officials turned toward them, eyeing the sword curiously. It was still glowing with mana, giving off a faint, ancient presence.

The official sighed and collected the sword from Victor's grasp. "Awakeners won't be granted weapons until they officially resume at the academy."

Victor frowned slightly. "Oh come on... not even an exception for the winner—"

Victor's shamelessness seemed to be slowly returning.

Another official with graying hair, adjusted his glasses and studied the ancient inscriptions on the blade.

"This sword..." he murmured. "Is priceless."
