To be a Pilot is to become something more, something greater. To be a pilot is control an Armature, a divine machine that could one day become a god. That is the goal, to walk down the path of divinity and separate yourself from the common masses, and in so doing achieve autonomy and independence. But to be a Pilot is to merely start that journey, and in Avalon all Pilots begin in service to the City.
This is the story of one such Pilot.

Hello - welcome to Humble Beginnings, a cultivation quest! This is my first quest. I’m honestly not super versed on either quests or cultivation, but both have simultaneously grabbed my interest and won’t let go, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
As mentioned, I’m far from an expert on cultivation, so while I’m going to be trying to very much hit the flavor and key tenets of the genre, expect deviations from the standard, some intentional and some born of ignorance. Big inspirations that...

This is a vast expanse of fertile land where cultivators fight and kingdoms feud. Here you hope to carve out a new home for yourself.
Intro and Summary
Mana flows through the very essence of reality. It pervades the world, and everything it touches gains some small touch of the transcendent, the divine. For the world has two parts. The physical, and the spiritual. The physical realm is a place of sensible progression, orderly adherence to law, stability and mundanity. A foundation. Something to build upon. But the spiritual realm is the animating force of everything. Every breath of wind, every flittering beetle wing, every young master...

You are a noble in an Empire headed toward civil war when the Emperor dies. Can you survive? Can you thrive?
Welcome to the Dao of the Awakened. This quest is my take on the xianxia/cultivation genre. It is inspired by the amazing array of cultivation stories, novels, quests (including the ones on SV), and media. It's likely going to hit a lot of xianxia/cultivation cliches, but I intend to add my own spin as much as I can while remaining true to what makes a xianxia story so fun.
You are newly Awakened. Now It's your time to start trying to find your Dao. May the heavens themselves bow in your wake.
