“You were never meant to be born and yet the heavens made a place for you”

Overview

You were once an ordinary person living in a modern world full of regrets. Then came the accident. You should have died. But instead you woke up in a different body, in a different world.

A world where bloodlines carry ancient power. Where powers shapes reality.

You awaken in a world ruled by Ki, ancient sects, and bloodlines blessed by the heavens. And you? You were born from a union that never should have happened, born from two legacies that were never meant to coexist. Two rival forces now live inside you and they’re pulling you in different directions. that threaten to tear you apart or elevate you beyond mortal limits.

No one expects you to rise. But you were reborn for a reason. And if the heavens won’t offer you a path, you’ll carve one yourself.

Thank you for give us the want to change the world as an option when choosing motivation. And I hope you have luck with the patreon. Sorry I can't contribute. I have to stay in the free version.

Which reminds me…

You weren't lying when you say that Shivah story was going to get sadder. And he is so smoll!! Just 4!! Who in their sane mind do that to a child so little???? Not only they make him sleep in the pigsty, with more kids, in a mold infested matress. Not only they make him work to the bone. But also WAKE HIM BY THROWING A BUCKET OF PISS???? AT A FOUR YEAR OLD???

Listen, I usually play as a goody two shows in everything. But if I get the chance, I'm kicking that man ass. I'm naming myself first member of the Shivah protection squad.

So small, treated like shit, and still he dosn't hate us!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and don’t worry at all about the Patreon, I completely understand and I’m just really glad you’re enjoying the story. Just knowing you’re invested means a lot.

As for Shivah. yeah. That part hit hard to write. He really has been through more than any child should ever have to. Four years old and already carrying trauma most adults couldn’t bear. And yet somehow, he still manages to be gentle, curious, and kind. It makes his strength all the more heartbreaking.

But what makes him special is that, despite everything, he’s still the kind of person who tries to see the good in people. He doesn’t judge or hate easily, even after all the pain he’s been through.

So if the MC ends up going down on a more morally twisted path, it’ll definitely affect how Shivah sees them.

But don’t worry his difficulties isn’t permanent. In fact, in the latest Patreon update, there’s an appearance of a character who might just change his entire future.

and in the very near future, the mc and Shivah can interact and knew each other in the first mission.

how big is this world in terms of size compared to our own? Is the wildlife excluding the fantasy creatures still the same or are there completely new creatures in this world that evolved for it?

Good question! The world's continent of the game is called Aegia is actually something I’ve put a lot of research into. It’s loosely inspired by the Aegean Peninsula, that real-world point where Europe and Asia meet. Right now, the story’s set in a region with a traditional Eastern vibe, and there are hints the MC is currently in a Japanese-inspired country.

Also the Tianzhu, is kind of a cultural fusion of China, Japan, and Korea. If you imagine those three countries merged into one massive landmass, that’s basically the feel I’m going for. To give more context, here’s how the regions line up with real-world counterparts.

Huaxia = China

Karyo = Korea

Nippon = Japan

Bharata = India

Maliya = Southeast Asia

Azzuria = Persia / Middle East

Orukhaan = Mongolian / Turkic nations

So while it’s a fantasy world, the geography is rooted in real-world history and geography with some creative twists here and there.

As for wildlife—yeah, a lot of the real-world animals are present. But over time, some species have evolved differently or mutated, whether through corruption, environmental shifts, or just the strange nature of the world. So you’ll definitely see both familiar creatures and some that have changed into something entirely new.

Are all the ally/RO options we have now considered Prodigies like the MC?

it really just depends on their background and role in the story. Some were born into high expectations or trained from a young age, while others might have more ordinary roots but still hold their own in different ways. So while a few are definitely recognized as prodigies, others shine in more subtle or unexpected ways.

[daibukunn]

Will our stats naturally improve without further input by the player?

Yeah, your stats will grow naturally as the story goes on. Certain scenes, choices, or training moments will help shape the MC’s strengths, as It’s all part of their journey and progression.

Also, in the recent Patreon update, there’s a new scene that shows the MC starting to make progress—and you’ll actually get to choose which area they’re improving in.

[daibukunn]

Will MC get to train with Eden eventually?

Not at the moment. because Eden’s is on a completely far superior level right now, far beyond where the MC currently stands. But as the story progresses and the MC grows stronger, there’s definitely a chance they’ll get to train together. and It’s something I’m looking forward to exploring later on.

[daibukunn]

It's so nice to know Eden has such an adorable side! But I think the emotions behind food are important too. Even the same snack feels more delicious when it’s bought by someone familiar. After Eden’s affection for MC increases, could there be an relationship event where MC becomes Eden’s exclusive snack fetcher? Others who try to impress her might buy the exact same treats, only for Eden to completely ignore them while she happily munches on what the MC brought her, like a satisfied little cat... Hehe! Eden is too cute—I think I need to calm down for a sec...

That’s such a cute idea, and honestly, I could totally see Eden acting like that once she starts warming up. She might pretend it’s no big deal, but the same snack definitely hits different when it’s from someone she cares about. I love the thought of her ignoring everyone else’s offerings and just quietly munching on what the MC brought, all content like a little cat pretending not to care but absolutely eating it up.

I’m also planning a future hangout event where Eden and the MC can spend some time together and maybe do a few weird things, in true Eden fashion.

Hii author....

Just wanted to let you know that your Tumblr link in forum probably doesn't work as I need to search this manually.

As for the story, I feel this good, this story speaks about technique and gets technical instead just pew pew, boom, slash like other cultivation games, you explain the breathing and step by step of cultivation which is great as it provides contexts, but I feel there is lack of interaction as for now, which is understandable since MC still a toddler and at the basic stage, I am imagining it will slowly change as we progress further.

As for the mistake or typo, I do notice a bit of wrong page opening and option doesn't greyed out like when MC has a tour during the receptionist section, it suddenly changes to mission board section and after out of option it doesn't grey out the mission board option so the reader gets stuck in it.

Generally every conversation seems short, the answer somewhat quick maybe because people in this sect are mostly stuck up bunch.... I mean talking to a toddler you're imagining people would say something more.

If I am to suggest something, maybe expand the rank a bit, it's unusual to see a S rank quest so early in the game, I would imagining if you going for dark fantasy theme something that terrible in Cave probably just B rank monster maybe to add more threat to the world, while I do think there will be S+, SS, or SSS quest, so maybe S rank is probably Mid threat I dunno....

Hii! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this—and for checking out the story!

About the Tumblr link—thanks for pointing it out! It actually works fine for me, but I think the collapsible formatting on the forum might be messing with it on some devices. I’ll just remove the collapsible thing and post the direct link more clearly so it’s easier to access for everyone.

I’m really glad you enjoyed the more technical approach to cultivation! I wanted the story to feel more grounded—showing how breathing, posture, and internal ki flow work step by step instead of just jumping into flashy moves right away. So it’s great to hear that landed well for you!

That said, this early part of the game is more focused on world-building and foundational training. After this, the story will pick up more momentum and become more fun and interactive. Once the MC finishes their basic training, they’ll naturally control their ki—so you won’t have to hear much more about ki theory and breathwork unless it’s for flavor or advanced techniques.

Regarding the lack of interaction with others—you’re absolutely right. That’s intentional! Reiren has been training the MC intensely since the very start, to the point that they didn’t really get to roam around the sect or socialize. That’s why you don’t see the MC speaking with many people early on. But now that Reiren is giving them a little breathing room, they’re able to tour the sect and start meeting new people—like Baek-seol, for example.

and About the S-class mission—you’re totally right to raise the question. Under normal circumstances, monsters like the one in the cave (like Ghouls or Demonic spawn) are usually ranked around B to A-class, depending on their strength or maturity. However, this mission was dubbed S-class because the investigator linked the case to the Pale Caress Demoness—a very dangerous and infamous true demon who’s been active once in a while. Her involvement (or suspected involvement) raised the threat level significantly. This is actually mentioned in the game during the scene where Baek-seol, Regoku, and Suraka are hanging out under the tree watching the MC.

And as a little spoiler—yes, there are SSS-class threats in this world. One of them is the infamous Ghost of the Black Spiral, currently the most wanted person in all of Tianzhu and even feared in neighboring nations. But somehow, it's been centuries since that person had last been seen; hopefully they won't come back, haha.

Also, Regarding for the bug, That and a few others have already been fixed in the latest patch, so hopefully the flow feels smoother now.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback—it really helps improve the game, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it so far. More updates are on the way!

I know Eden seems very detached and mature for her age, but does she have any cute, childlike qualities? Could the MC win her over with sweets?

I’m really glad you asked! Eden definitely gives off a calm, detached, and mature vibe, but yes—she absolutely has some cute, childlike qualities hidden under the surface.

In fact, I added a new scene in the latest patch that shows she actually has a surprisingly big appetite and a quiet love for snacks. So yep, the MC might just win her over with the right sweets—especially if it’s something thoughtful or rare.

You’ll also catch little glimpses of her curiosity now and then—like when she watches two beetles fighting with serious focus or the way she quietly enjoys it when Reiren bullies the MC. It’s subtle, but those moments say a lot.

Her personality actually mirrors Reiren’s in many ways, as mentioned in her Codex entry—and that dynamic does show throughout the story. The same quiet sharpness, dry humor, and that slightly unreadable presence. But unlike Reiren, Eden’s still has that qualities between a childlike behavior and something far older than she looks, which makes her all the more fun (and tricky) to write.

Thanks again for noticing the small stuff—it means a lot!

SADDER??? BUT HE IS SO TINY!!

That's it. I already wanted to befriend everybody, but I WILL be Shivah best friend. The MC might have a lot of privilege, but mine will share all she can.

Uggh. What a cruel world. Will we be able to change it? Not like, in the next chapter. Just… eventualy. Make it at least little kinder, a little warmer. Is your game, and you can do what you want. Maybe the story needs the world to stay like this. But I do want to change the world.

(sorry if I made mistakes, English is not my native lenguaje)

Shivah would be lucky to have your MC as a friend. Truly. He acts like he doesn’t need anyone, but deep down? He’d treasure someone who just chooses to stay by his side without asking anything in return.

And you’re right. Transcended Awakening takes place in a world that is often cruel—one where power decides worth, and bloodline decides fate. It wasn’t built to be kind. But that doesn’t mean kindness has no place in it.

But change… is not impossible, though, as something is shifting. Slowly and quietly.

In the next update, you’ll see much more from Shivah’s perspective—and witness the appearance of the story’s first true villain.

[daibukunn]

I want to hug Shivah. Poor kid.

Me too. 😭

Shivah just acts tough, but deep down he just wants someone to see him.

His story will get a little sadder soon, especially as the contrast between his hardships and the MC’s privilege life becomes clearer. He’s not pitiful—just shaped by a world that made him grow up fast.

Thanks for caring about him. He really needs it, even if he’d never say it out loud.
