Description: [edit] [history]

Sunwhisper is the youngest member of an exploration team sent across space and time to find the source of all magic. After his group is wiped out by a single old cultivator, he must find his place as an android in a world without machines, seeking to complete the mission meant to save the reality from which he came. Though his ability to cultivate is almost nonexistent, he has one advantage, the reality he came from was a LitRPG. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Updating Daily all November]

This is a (light) LitRPG in a cultivation setting. It is not written in the style of a traditional cultivation story, and it kind of goes its own way with the terminology.

Specifically, I use the word "Dao" in a broad and non cannon fashion, so that it is both a way or a path, and also the word they use for a dantian/core. "Mana" is ki, and the cultivator progression is a "nine-star" process.

Each cultivator has an elemental and color association, which influences what kind of abilities they develop as they advance.
