The Immortal Ascension Path Series by Marko Duskborn

The academy that was supposed to make me strong is collapsing. Not metaphorically. Spirit Peak is sinking—one hundred feet already—and the elders would rather execute the messenger than admit their “immortal” foundation is failing. I’m Wei Luo: a disgraced heir with a broken body, a cursed “Rot” in my chest, and an engineer’s brain that refuses to accept magic as an excuse. When I expose the truth, the Arbiter gives me a choice:. Fix the descent… or be unmade... moreThe academy that was supposed to make me strong is collapsing. Not metaphorically. Spirit Peak is sinking—one hundred feet already—and the elders would rather execute the messenger than admit their “immortal” foundation is failing. I’m Wei Luo: a disgraced heir with a broken body, a cursed “Rot” in my chest, and an engineer’s brain that refuses to accept magic as an excuse. When I expose the truth, the Arbiter gives me a choice:. Fix the descent… or be unmade. My solution is simple in theory: the Spirit Nexus—the engine keeping the floating peaks aloft—is misfiring. I can’t repair the realm’s Pillars, but I can install a regulator, re-pressurize the system, and buy time before the whole academy breaks apart mid-air. There’s just one problem. Elder Feng is already in the Nexus Chamber… and he’s turning the heart of the mountain into a weapon. The tunnels beneath the Nexus run hot with violet corruption. Disciples become glitching, physics-scrambled monsters. And when the invasion hits, Void-Centurions start harvesting entire peaks like crops. To stop the collapse, I’ll need more than cultivation. I’ll need control. With Mei’s grounding, Yue Ying’s resonance, and Yan Ling’s cold-blooded precision, our bond becomes something the academy has never seen: a closed circuit powerful enough to let me project the Interface, seize command of the environment, and fight as a ghost in the machine—opening trapdoors, rerouting pressure, and turning the academy itself into my weapon. But every fix comes with a cost. Because the “Rot” isn’t just poison. It’s a signal—and something in the sky is listening. What to expect:. Cultivation + LitRPG-style system commands and interface control. High-stakes academy disaster arc (sinking peaks, sabotage, war). Dungeon-like descent into the Nexus (corruption, glitches, Void horrors). Spicy, consensual romance with multiple love interests (explicit scenes). If Spirit Peak falls, the Seven Realms fall with it. And I’m done living in a world built on hidden cracks. less

🔷 Ascend or shatter. The path is hexagonal, the stakes are eternal. When Seiran awakens inside a dimensional plane shaped by sacred geometry, he’s not just lost—he’s disassembled. Memory fragmented. Purpose obscured. Identity fractured across six mystical zones, each ruled by its own elemental truth. Here, reality is modular. Hexes are more than shapes—they're systems. Constructs. Laws. And cultivation isn't merely power—it's existential alignment. But Seiran isn’t alone... more🔷 Ascend or shatter. The path is hexagonal, the stakes are eternal.

Identity fractured across six mystical zones, each ruled by its own elemental truth. Here, reality is modular. Hexes are more than shapes—they're systems. Constructs. Laws. And cultivation isn't merely power—it's existential alignment. But Seiran isn’t alone. A web of allies and rivals a blind prophet who hears geometric truth, a siren who sings in logic, and a hunter whose arrows curve through spatial logic. As they vie for mastery over the Realm’s hidden algorithms, Seiran must confront the ultimate. To ascend the system, he must deconstruct himself. 🧬 Perfect for fans of cultivation, harem dynamics with substance, reality-bending ascension, and deep metaphysical worldbuilding. less

Keeping them alive is worse. I’m Wei Luo—the engineer who broke the old Pillar system… and got handed the Admin Rights to whatever’s left. The Hex-Grid is running. Nexus City is thriving. For the first time, the world feels like it might actually work. Then the planet tries to swallow itself. The Central Mountain Range is sinking. Solid granite is turning into a rolling ocean of stone. The Earth Pillar is losing buoyancy, and if it drops below the crust, an entire continent folds in on itself... moreKeeping them alive is worse. I’m Wei Luo—the engineer who broke the old Pillar system… and got handed the Admin Rights to whatever’s left. The Hex-Grid is running. Nexus City is thriving. For the first time, the world feels like it might actually work. Then the planet tries to swallow itself. The Central Mountain Range is sinking. Solid granite is turning into a rolling ocean of stone. The Earth Pillar is losing buoyancy, and if it drops below the crust, an entire continent folds in on itself. And it’s not an accident. Gravity Beasts are dragging the mountains down—hunting mass, bending weight, turning flight into a death sentence. Down below, buried in the collapsing roots of the range, is Deepholm… and Mei’s family is trapped in the dark. Above ground, the sect rulers smell weakness. They argue borders. They threaten tolls. They talk about “ancient rights,” like the Void cares who owns a tunnel. So I make it simple:. No more empires. No more boundaries. If the grid gets blocked, the system destabilizes. If the system destabilizes… the Void comes back. That means I’m going underground with the women who’ve kept me alive through every impossible fight—loyal, lethal, and done asking permission. Because I’m not an emperor. I’m the Architect. And I’m about to prove that infrastructure can be a weapon… and a promise. What to expect in Book 4:. Cultivation + LitRPG-style system escalation (interface control). City-building / kingdom-building progression with real stakes. Underground expedition: collapsing stone, gravity horrors, rescue mission. Spicy, devoted romance with multiple love interests (contains explicit scenes). less
