Ascension Through the Records

Mikael was once a small-time crime lord in the USA—ruthless, calculated, and always in control. But when the Akashic Records descend upon Earth, offering humanity the chance to rise beyond its limits, everything changes. Thrust into a vast multiverse ruled by strength, Mikael accepts the challenge not for heroism—but for power. In this world of gods, monsters, and ancient legacies, he forges his path with blood, ambition, and cold logic. As he journeys across worlds, mastering deadly arts and forging powerful bonds, Mikael’s rise becomes inevitable. Whether it's clashing with divine beings, taming the forces of cultivation, or winning over remarkable women, his story is one of unrelenting ascension. Ascension Through the Records is a strategic progression fantasy featuring a calm and often indifferent protagonist. Romance, harem dynamics, and R-18 content are present—but never at the expense of story depth or action. Warning: This is not a fanfiction. Although it is possible for him to enter "anime worlds," the main character will never actually enter those worlds. Expectations: A cold protagonist who is largely indifferent to the lives of others. If you are looking for a hero who saves everyone, this story may not be for you. While the main character is capable of love and other emotions, he simply doesn’t care about the fate of strangers. Chapter Length: Approximately 2000 words. Update Schedule: Every day at 12:00 EST. For advanced chapters or to support me, visit my Patreon: SDASLUMMY.
