Reign of Ascension: The Ascendant Codex

In the universe of Reign of Darkness, long before the Crimson Plague ravaged the lands, when mysticism and cultivation shaped the balance of power, shadows ruled in silence.



Jack Ryan was just an ordinary teenager, scraping by on the streets of Peruin—more concerned with dating, dodging exams, and choosing the right university than with destiny or danger. But all of that changed the day a strange incident at school unearthed a relic unlike any other.



When Jack touches the mysterious artifact, it awakens something deep within him—his dormant soul core—transforming him into a Manaborn, one of the rare individuals capable of channeling the arcane energies that govern the world.



Now thrust into a hidden realm of martial sorcery, forgotten bloodlines, and ancient conspiracies, Jack must navigate the trials of ascension while surviving enemies both human and otherworldly. As he battles for his place in a world that no longer feels like his own, one goal keeps him grounded—catching the eye of the girl who’s always been just out of reach.



What begins as a teenage crush soon becomes a journey of power, purpose, and peril.

Because in the shadows, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
