Ascension Through the Records Novel

Mikael, a former crime lord accustomed to power and control, finds his world transformed when the Akashic Records arrive on Earth, granting humanity unprecedented potential. Abandoning his past, he pursues strength in a dangerous multiverse where gods and monsters reign supreme. Armed with cold logic and ruthless ambition, he masters forbidden arts, forms crucial alliances, and challenges divine entities across multiple worlds. His ascension seems inevitable as he commands cultivation forces and attracts formidable companions. This strategic progression fantasy follows a detached protagonist driven purely by personal power rather than heroism. While featuring romance and mature content, the narrative prioritizes complex storytelling and intense action. The main character remains largely indifferent to others' fates—a calculating force incapable of sacrifice for strangers, though not entirely devoid of emotion. Readers seeking a traditional hero narrative should look elsewhere. The story publishes daily chapters of approximately two thousand words, with advance access available through Patreon.
