Eternal Ascent : Chronicles of the Flame Sovereign
Kael, a brilliant scientist and martial artist on Earth, dies prematurely due to a cosmic mishap caused by the God of Reincarnation. The God, feeling guilty for ending Kael’s life too early, offers him a chance to reincarnate in a cultivation world of his choice. Along with reincarnation, Kael is granted the Soulbound System, a powerful aid that will help him rise above his peers. Kael chooses the Falling Sky Sect, a once-glorious sect now in decline, seeing it as an opportunity to rise from nothing and reshape a crumbling institution.
Kael is not reincarnated as a newborn but as Kaelion Ardyn, an 18-year-old outer disciple of the Falling Sky Sect. Kaelion’s life was filled with suffering, ridicule, and failure, and he died after a brutal ambush by fellow disciples. The prologue ends with Kael awakening in Kaelion’s body, inheriting his memories, regrets, and the challenge of transforming his life.
