The Rise of Khan [Progression Fantasy]
Khan wants to be a cultivator.
He promised.
And a promise between a son and his late father must be kept at all costs.
So, when young Khan is rejected by the Awoken Moon sect, he isn't just told no. He's told he will never be able to cultivate.
In a world that only recognises the power of Qi, that was as good as any condemnation.
He'd be a peasant for life.
And now, in the stinking, mud-clogged alleys of Lunis City, fifteen-year-old Khan is forced to survive without strength in a world forged by it.
There, he learns something that will change his life: in a world of immortal cultivators, the most powerful weapon isn't always a sword—it’s leverage. Now, determined to fulfill his promise, Khan sets out to become the merchant that no cultivator or sect can live without.
Maybe then, he’d be able to buy his way to cultivation.
To achieve his dream, he’ll have to claw his way toward every morsel of hope he can find--accepting predatory deals, risking his life, and paying prices no one warned him about.
This is a slower-burning progression fantasy, about the costs of strength, the struggle to achieve it, the agony of ambition, and a world that just doesn't care.
It is the story of how one man became the carp that jumped over the dragon's gate.
