Reborn as a Demonic Tree
Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people.
An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where one could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation.
But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by.
Unless he does something about it...
Every day that passes he grows continuously stronger as he cultivates and uses a suspicious daily sign-in system that grants him powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items, all in exchange for credits earned from devouring flesh and watching the seasons pass.
But his peaceful life and man-eating ways can only go unnoticed for so long and those around will soon grow suspicious. If that isn't bad enough, his Qi-rich bark makes him a target for many young masters, and tensions in the demonic sect are at an all-time high, with the cataclysmic Beast Tide festering on the horizon.
Ashlock's only chance of survival is to grow faster and stronger than any tree has ever done in the history of the nine realms—all while trying to avoid being turned into firewood.

When XKarnation first imagined a tree that could devour flesh to grow stronger, they weren’t in a shadowed forest or a candle-lit study—they were wading through job applications in the middle of a soul-numbing tech career hunt. That odd, lingering thought—what if a tree could evolve like a video game character?—grew into something far more potent than expected. It became the seed of Reborn as a Demonic Tree, a darkly humorous cultivation fantasy that flipped genre expectations on their head and caught fire with readers across Royal Road and beyond.
Reborn as a Demonic Tree
In a world where power blooms through bloodshed and survival demands more than just strength, something ancient stirs beneath the forest floor. It doesn’t breathe, doesn’t speak—but it remembers. A tree, newly awakened in the heart of a ruthless demonic sect, begins to grow—not by sunlight or rain, but by devouring the corpses that fall nearby.
Reborn as a Demonic Tree consists of eight books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
