The Advent of The Soul Tree

What if you died a nobody and woke up as a tree?

Dendron died a nobody. He quit jobs, avoided conflict, and spent his days doing the bare minimum. When a truck ends his unremarkable existence, he expects nothing but oblivion.

Instead, he wakes up as a tree: rooted, immobile, and monumentally alone.

In a forest teeming with monsters, cultivators, and beast tribes, Dendron discovers he's been given a second chance, and a LitRPG system to go with it. He can absorb soul cores, grow spiritual fruit, and even parasitize other creatures to build a network of avatars.

But being surrounded isn't the same as being understood. He is a reincarnator in a world that doesn't know his past. And something put him here on purpose. Whatever put him here has plans for him, and they may be far more terrifying than being a tree.

"A truck hit me five minutes ago, and now I'm a fucking tree?"

A LitRPG cultivation fantasy about growth, loneliness, and the quiet horror of becoming something you never planned to be. If you enjoy slow-burn mysteries, hidden organizations, ancient beings, layered worldbuilding, and gradually uncovering the true nature of a world, you may find something to enjoy here.
