Begin your dao. Ascend the nine heavens.
A xianxia idle RPG inspired by the cultivation novels you actually read. No pay-to-win arena. Pity-bounded gacha. Built solo with care, by NDUP Studio.
Six daos, one mortal path
Every cultivator chooses their own way to immortality. Mortal Ascend gives you the systems, not the rails.
Six Cultivation Paths
Sword, Pill, Body, Talisman, Beast, Soul — each with its own combat role, growth curve, and signature SSR characters.
True Idle Cultivation
Gather qi 24/7, even offline. Up to 12 hours of accumulated rewards. Built for busy daoists, not for grinders.
Honest Gacha
90-pull hard pity, 75-pull soft pity, full probability disclosure. The rate you read is the rate you get.
Build Your Sect
Recruit disciples, run cooperative raids with daoists worldwide. No forced PvP, no toxic ranks.
Nine Tribulations
Survive lightning, inner demons, karmic backlash. Each breakthrough unlocks a new realm — from mortal to immortal.
Fair to Free Players
Every SSR is reachable through play. VIP gives convenience, not power. You can ascend without spending a cent.
A small studio, a big dao
NDUP Studio is the new game label from NDUP, a globally trademarked electronics brand operating in 7 markets since 2019.
Mortal Ascend is our first mobile game — built solo, with AI as a force multiplier, by a developer who's read every translated cultivation novel since 2016.
We're making the xianxia game we always wanted to play: faithful to the source material, fair to the player, free of the predatory patterns that have hollowed out the genre.
At a glance
A cultivation idle RPG for the readers, not the whales.
