Ascension of the Forsaken Genius Novel

Lucian Alden, a brilliant but impoverished scientist and strategist, met an untimely end due to the jealousy of a wealthy heir. His story, however, did not conclude with death. He awakens reborn as Sylas, the scion of a noble family in a low-tier kingdom within a world steeped in cultivation. This realm is dominated by beings wielding astral, abyssal, and chaotic energies. Despite lacking any elemental affinity and possessing only what is deemed "pure energy," a seemingly weak force, Sylas refuses to be defined by limitations. Relying on his innate intelligence, he embarks on a revolutionary quest to redefine cultivation from its core. Facing threats from lurking abyssals, bloodthirsty asuras, and constant warfare between kingdoms, Sylas must prove that a forsaken genius can leave a lasting mark on history. Driven by an unforgiving nature, he remembers all and pardons none.
