Ascenturi, the Ascension Crow

The world is Ascending to the second Realm, and a formerly-nameless fledgling Turi Crow obsessed with learning, knowledge and power thrives in this new, deadly world, gradually becoming a being far different from what he started as in order to escape the nature forced upon him by his species. Even in spite of this, it will be a struggle to survive the war coming for Earth. Note: the content warnings are not extreme. The fights are depicted in detail, but it is not deliberately gorey for the sake of shock. There is swearing, but it is not as though every character is a sailor. Lastly, there are the very rare depictions of depravity that are used to push the main character forward, in disgust at the activities. What to expect: - Weak to strong, but not strongest. - Intelligent but inexperienced main character. - Complex and dynamic combat. - Very light LITRPG elements. - A good main character willing to be ruthless when necessary
