Reborn as a Demonic Tree

Ashlock awakens in the courtyard of a demonic sect—rooted to the earth, stripped of limbs, reborn as a tree. Worse, he hungers for flesh. A daily sign-in system offers incremental power, but survival means embracing his monstrous nature. As Ashlock cultivates strength, he manipulates the sect’s disciples, weaving himself into their bloody conflicts and ambitions. His branches stretch beyond the courtyard, his influence deepening with each devoured foe. Yet the more he grows, the more he attracts dangerous attention—from mortals who fear him and cultivators who see him as a tool or a threat. Caught between his lingering humanity and the ruthless logic of survival, Ashlock must decide: Will he remain a passive observer, or become the demonic force this world demands?
