Mikael was once a ruthless American crime boss—dominant, methodical, and uncompromising in his control. Everything shifts when the Akashic Records manifest on Earth, granting humanity the possibility to transcend its natural boundaries. Pulled into an expansive multiverse where power reigns supreme, Mikael embraces the opportunity not from virtue but from hunger for strength. Surrounded by ancient beings, primordial entities, and legacies spanning eons, he carves his existence through cunning, determination, and unwavering pragmatism. His ascension unfolds across dimensions as he commands forbidden techniques, builds crucial alliances, and confronts impossible odds. From battles with celestial entities to mastering cultivation secrets to commanding the devotion of extraordinary companions, Mikael's trajectory remains relentless and assured. Ascension Through the Records blends strategic progression fantasy with an unflinching protagonist defined by detachment. Romantic elements, harem relationships, and mature content are woven throughout—without compromising narrative substance or intense confrontations. Note: This is original fiction. While parallel universe entries remain possible, the protagonist will not inhabit established "anime worlds." Fair Warning: The main character is fundamentally unmoved by others' circumstances. He experiences emotion and connection, yet holds no obligation toward the fates of people beyond his sphere. Seeking a noble hero who rescues everyone? This narrative offers something different. Expect a calculating protagonist whose moral compass points inward. Chapters: Approximately 2000 words each. Release Schedule: Daily at 12:00 EST. Patreon: www./SDASLUMMY
