After putting it off for almost a decade, Ivan Mikhailov retires. Yet, staring down the prospect of spending his golden years at home, alone - having never married, Ivan is not all too happy with his choice and the implications it will have on his future. It is amid this anxiety about how he should spend his retirement that the most egregious marketing pop-up appears in his vision. The ethereal blue panel offers him a new life in a magical world that he need only agree to be transferred to receive countless benefits. Including, even, the potential to achieve immortality.  However, after he unintentionally agrees to the transfer, Ivan discovers that this new world offers far more than advertized. In this land where the presence of Earth's old gods can still be felt, and the Heavens grants otherwise normal people superhuman powers, there is much for Ivan to experience. Not all of it good and or pleasant. Regardless, Ivan must forge his path. Only by ascending beyond the peak of this world can he hope to achieve a truly Golden Apotheosis. -- Includes: -Cultivation System -Lots of Earthly Mythology -Alchemy -Mature Themes -Middling to Strongest MC Schedule -3 times a week (Usually, *but not always*: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday) - *Ethical Notice: The Cover is AI-generated*
