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...

Victor frowned. "Pond of Dragon Tears?"

"It is said to be a sacred pool, filled with the tears of an ancient dragon who once wept for a lost love," she explained. "Its waters contain immense restorative properties, capable of reversing even the most grievous ailments."

Victor was intrigued. "That sounds… insanely valuable," he admitted.

Lady Li Yang smiled faintly. "It is. Which is why… I must reach it before others do... It is said to appear only once every two thousand years."

Victor folded his arms. "I take it this journey isn't as simple as picking up water and leaving?"

Lady Li Yang laughed softly while shaking her head.

"Of course not," she said. "The pond is fiercely protected. And no one knows what lurks there."

'Figures. Nothing in this world is ever simple... Still… this journey just became a lot more interesting.'
