The Heretic's Ascension System

The Mandate of Heaven System decreed Ao a demon. The Heretic's Ascension System rewarded him for proving them right.

In an Empire ruled by the Jade Emperor, a citizen’s worth is measured by their [Heavenly Path].

​When Ao touched a Heavenly Stone, golden text sealed his fate:

​[Mandate of Heaven System Compatibility: Null]

​Stripped of a future and branded a heretic, Ao survived seven years in an Imperial Re-Education Camp before clawing his way to freedom. Now, hunted by Azure Banner Enforcers and cornered in the cursed ravines of the Qiyuan Canyon, he finds an ancient door buried in the dark, and a power older than the Heavens.

​[Heretic's Ascension System Compatibility: True]

[Quest: Dismantle the Mandate of Heaven System]

​But heresy has a price. The System rewards bloodshed, punishes conformity, and demands rebellion at any cost. To survive an Empire that wants him erased, Ao must become the monster they claim he is.
