Ad Astra

Astra was born without any talent in cultivation and, being orphaned from a young age, didn't have many other prospects for thriving on the mining colony she called home. After naively buying a mysterious map from a sketchy old man, and being chased by a deranged cultivator for said map, she stumbles upon an opportunity that will change her life, and her fate. Now given the opportunity to grow her cultivation, Astra must find a way to thrive in this brand new world that has opened up to her.  Join Astra as she begins her cultivation journey, gathers allies and friends, fights against demonic beasts and cultivators alike, and steadily makes her way, to the stars. This story is going to end up long by my estimations not unlike the chinese cultivation novels this story is very much a love letter to in premise and substance. I'd consider it somewhat of a slow burn, especially in Astra's character development due to its length so keep that in mind.
