Tree of Aeons meets That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime in the bestselling LitRPG Cultivation Fantasy Action series REBORN AS A DEMONIC TREE - in print and as a Light Novel for the very first time with REBORN AS A DEMONIC TREE (Light Novel) Vol. 1 from Vault Books!

Western xianxia meets isekai in Reborn As a Demonic Tree (Light Novel) Vol. 1!

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 cultivators flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where one can transcend mortality through cultivation.

But Ashlock is a spirit tree. Despite being in a different body than the demonic young masters cultivating on the mountain peaks around him, he has the same goal—to be the strongest in all the realms and survive the beast tides.

Thankfully, it turns out that spirit trees are well-suited for cultivation.

Every day that passes, he grows continuously stronger as he spends the days cultivating and using 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 man-eating ways can only go unnoticed for so long, and those around him will soon grow suspicious. 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.

Don't miss the start to this unique reincarnation isekai LitRPG set in a Cultivator world. With millions of views and tens of thousands of followers, this was one of the most popular web serials of 2023. Now, experience the Light Novel version of the hit series!
