The heavens call. Will you answer?
Ascend from Nine Mountains is an RPG inspired by Chinese mythology and cultivation stories. In its world you will craft legendary treasures, engage in deep tactical combat, and journey through an intricate web of characters and stories as you ascend to immortality.
Begin as a mortal. Ascend through nine realms, each with their own unique mechanics and stories. Feel your meridians burn as celestial energy floods through them for the first time. Watch reality bend as you form your spiritual core. From opening your first meridian to commanding the very forces of creation, every breakthrough transforms both body and soul in ways you never imagined possible.
Master combat to crush all those who would stand before you. Shape your stances from a multitude of unique techniques to combat any foe. Dedicate yourself to one of the six combat schools, or combine them as you pioneer your own path.
Blood School: Embrace corruption, and the unstoppable power that comes with it
Blossom School: Nurture a living swarm of beautiful-yet-deadly blossoms, or focus on the deadly power of rot
Fist School: Your body becomes the ultimate weapon. Every punch a devastating blow and every kick cracks reality
Cloud School: Command ever-building storms that sweep away all opposition
Weapon School: Forge a dancing cloud of weaponry that strikes down any foolish enough to stand before you
Celestial School: Balance light and shadow, sun and moon, and the rotation of the heavenly bodies
Craft treasures to shock the world. Push for that perfect quality result, but reach too far and watch your creation crumble to dust. Each crafting technique you master opens new possibilities, and combining them in unexpected ways can yield miraculous results. The difference between a master craftsman and a mere artisan? Knowing when to play it safe, and when to risk everything for perfection.
Explore ancient sect fortresses carved into mountain peaks. Trade in bustling cultivation cities where pills and treasures change hands for astronomical sums. Delve into ruins where demonic beasts guard treasures from forgotten ages. Each location offers unique opportunities, resources, and challenges that evolve with the passing seasons.
In the world of cultivation, relationships hold power beyond measure.
Form sworn brotherhoods with fellow cultivators and share breakthrough insights. Romance companions whose presence strengthens your dao heart. Find a cultivation partner whose techniques complement yours perfectly, unlocking abilities neither could achieve alone.
Choose your allies carefully. In this world, the bonds you forge are as important as the power you cultivate.

Step onto the path of cultivation. Master ancient techniques, forge legendary treasures, and build lasting bonds as you climb from mortality to divinity.
Ascend from Nine Mountains awaits. Your journey to immortality begins now.
