Three paths of cultivation

Choose your path

Each cultivator brings four skills to the hotbar. Cut through the mist, hurl inked talismans, or keep your party standing.

Sword Cultivator

Melee

Close in with Flowing Slash, loose a Sword Qi Wave, and bring down the Heaven-Splitting Strike. Qi Guard halves incoming damage when the Guardian swings.

The Talisman Master, in green and gold robes with a golden hat and paper talismans floating at the sides.

Talisman Master

Ranged

Fire and Thunder Talismans from afar, a Frost Seal to slow the chase, and Wind Step to slip out of danger. Fragile, brilliant, and always at range.

The Physician, in pale jade robes with a medicine gourd at the hip.

Physician

Support

Needles from a safe distance, Spring Rain that mends the whole party, and Meridian Surge when everything has gone wrong. The Guardian wants a Physician.

World

Cloudmist Valley

Begin in a lantern-lit plaza under a paifang gate. Cross the stone bridge over the Lotus Pond, hunt bamboo spirits and fox spirits, and climb to the ruined shrine where a Stone Guardian still keeps watch.

The valley is a single 200 by 200 unit zone, but it is dense: levels 1 to 20 are all playable here, from the safe plaza out to the far corners of the map.

What is in the game today

A small world, built properly

This is a playable prototype, not a mock-up. Everything below is running in the current build.

  • Server-authoritative multiplayer

    One persistent valley on a 20 Hz authoritative server. Your client predicts, the server decides, and other players share the same zone, chat and boss.

  • Three classes, four skills each

    Sword Cultivator, Talisman Master and Physician, with twelve hand-drawn brush pictograms on the hotbar, cooldowns and ranges.

  • Boss fights with telegraphed attacks

    The Stone Guardian marks the ground before it strikes. Read the glowing rings, step out in time, and heal through the second phase.

  • Daily notice board

    Notice Board Keeper Fen posts three tasks a day from a rotating pool: slay, gather, talk or cultivate for coin, jade and experience.

  • Brush-ink visuals

    Cel-shaded ink outlines, layered misty mountains, paper-scroll interface and vermilion seal stamps. No neon, no generic fantasy.

  • Quests, levels 1 to 20

    Elder Lin's four-part quest chain, Lantern Keeper Mei's errand, loot, a bag, coin and jade, and a level curve that takes about an hour and a half to cap.
