Road to Mastery

Valerios

An action-packed LitRPG Apocalypse & cultivation hybrid pitched as perfect for fans of Primal Hunter, Defiance of the Fall and Randidly Ghosthound. When an extraterrestrial AI called the System invades Earth, disillusioned PhD biologist Jack Rust is trapped in a forest dungeon with only his fists and a newly acquired Pugilist class. To survive he must turn violence into mastery — leveling, acquiring skills, and later walking a Dao cultivation path that ultimately dictates the limits of his strength. The System provides stats/skills as a springboard, but true power comes from understanding and advancing his Dao through visions, trials and brutal combat across Earth and the wider galaxy.

Cultivator vs. System

Valerios

Long Fang, a xianxia cultivator, is stranded in a foreign world where proper cultivation has been replaced by the System's annoying blue screens. Ignoring the System entirely, he founds the Lonely Mountain sect and spreads cultivation to followers - including the world's most inventive kobolds - while the System answers with tribulations, summoned enemies, and full-scale war across the Asuria continent. A completed 3-book LitRPG/Xianxia mash-up about two incompatible power systems in collision.
