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

The man adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, which was decorated with small talismans fluttering slightly with his movements.

"Ah, where are my manners?" he said with an exaggerated bow. "Name's Qin Lan. Wandering cultivator, poison master, and connoisseur of fine wines."

Victor raised a brow. "And you're in the Devil Forest for…?"

"The same reason you two are, obviously," Qin Lan grinned while tossing a small poison dart between his fingers. "The Pond of Dragon Tears. But unlike you the usual minded folks who seek it, I don't have some noble cause."

Lady Li's expression darkened slightly, but she said nothing.

Qin Lan continued, "I just want to get some of its water and sell it. Nothing personal, nothing grand."

Victor couldn't help but chuckle. The man was too carefree, especially for someone wandering such a dangerous place alone.

As they continued through the mist-laden path, growls began to echo from the darkness.
