Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people.
An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where one could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation.
But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by.
Unless he does something about it...
Every day that passes he grows continuously stronger as he cultivates and uses a suspicious daily sign-in system that grants him powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items, all in exchange for credits earned from devouring flesh and watching the seasons pass.
But his peaceful life and man-eating ways can only go unnoticed for so long and those around will soon grow suspicious. If that isn't bad enough, his Qi-rich bark makes him a target for many young masters, and tensions in the demonic sect are at an all-time high, with the cataclysmic Beast Tide festering on the horizon.
Ashlock's only chance of survival is to grow faster and stronger than any tree has ever done in the history of the nine realms—all while trying to avoid being turned into firewood.
Don't miss the start to this unique reincarnation isekai LitRPG set in a Cultivator world. With millions of views and tens of thousands of followers, this was one of the most popular web serials of 2023. Now, experience the definitive version of the hit story on Kindle, Print, & Audible!
The series
In a world where power blooms through bloodshed and survival demands more than just strength, something ancient stirs beneath the forest floor. It doesn’t breathe, doesn’t speak—but it remembers. A tree, newly awakened in the heart of a ruthless demonic sect, begins to grow—not by sunlight or rain, but by devouring the corpses that fall nearby.
Read full series description
Reborn as a Demonic Tree defies the conventions of LitRPG and cultivation fantasy, casting readers into the mind of a sentient spirit tree navigating a world built for warriors, schemers, and monsters. The tree, Ashlock, isn’t just a passive observer. Gifted with a mysterious sign-in system and an insatiable hunger, it begins to evolve—slowly, methodically—absorbing the chaos around it with chilling intent.
Rather than a hero’s journey in shining armor, this series offers a grim yet strangely meditative descent into a realm where progress means taking root in violence. With dark humor, slow-burn tension, and moments of eerie introspection, the narrative cultivates a fresh voice in the Isekai and progression fantasy genres. It’s not about saving the world. It’s about surviving it—sometimes one root, one corpse, one quiet choice at a time.
Praised across web fiction communities for its originality and atmospheric depth, the story has resonated with thousands seeking something stranger, quieter, and more relentless. In a genre full of reincarnated swordsmen and chosen ones, this tale asks a different question: what happens when the world’s next great threat… doesn’t even move?
If you’ve ever craved a story where nature strikes back—not with beauty, but with calculated wrath—this is where it begins.
