Are you ready to ascend to the next level? With our collection of prompts, each hosted by a member of the Chinese Zodiac. Which will you explore?
Each Zodiac leads to a different level of enlightenment. Choose one and begin your ascension:
1: The Rat - The Immortal Hero (Xianxia)
You're a fairy, preparing to become an Immortal. In order to gain immortality, you have to prove to the Heavenly Realm that you're ready to receive the power and the responsibility that comes with it. This can be in the form of saving the Mortal Realm from destruction, obtaining a lost artifact, or defeating a Demon Lord. How will you obtain immortality?
Note from our Profile Guide: Xianxia is a type of Chinese Fantasy that directly translates to "immortal heroes." It is influenced by Chinese mythology, Taoism, Buddhism, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. The central figure of these works are cultivators who are working towards immortality or higher ranks of immortality/divinity. These novels tend to be quite long because of the cultivation arcs.
2. The Ox - The Martial Hero (Wuxia)
You're the son of peasant farmers and have returned to discover your parents have been killed by the soldiers of a noble house. The only way you can get revenge is to become the greatest fighter in all of Asia. How will you achieve this?
Note from our Profile Guide: Wuxia is a type of Chinese Fantasy that directly translates to "martial heroes." It is influenced by martial arts, sorcery, and chivalry. Characters live by the code of xia and usually resolve problems through duels. This would be considered "low fantasy."
