Climbing the Ranks is a serial LitRPG cultivation novel by Tao Wong published serially on Starlit Publishing. New chapters will be released on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Book 1
When the Towers arrived, without warning, without communication of intent or indication of reasoning, chaos ensued…
Decades later, enchantments from the Tower and mana cores from the creatures within power the most advanced technologies in the real world. What was once a puzzling mystery has become a necessary part of economic growth.
For Arthur Chua, the Malaysian Beginner Tower has always been his objective. Climbing the Tower is the only form of escape available for one without money or connections. He’s not looking to be a hero or famous, just a survivor.
Fate, on the other hand, has other plans for him. At long last, the reason for the arrival of the Towers will be revealed, and humanity will once again experience a seismic shift when the truth appears.
Of course, Arthur’s going to have to survive long enough for that to happen…


Book 2
The faster the climb, the further the fall.
Arthur Chua has conquered the first floor of the Tower, but his journey is far from over. With his new ally Casey Chin by his side, he’s got a real chance of building the Clan. The problem is, their alliance hinges on one factor: speed.
Arthur and his Benevolent Durians must climb with Casey, as fast as possible to get her a speed run bonus. But the Tower remains as treacherous as ever, growing more dangerous with every step. The Durians will need to balance their ascent speed with their cultivation progress if they hope to succeed.
Survival is no longer the only goal—it’s a speed run to the top, and the stakes have never been higher.

Nothing beginner in this challenge.
For Arthur, climbing the beginner Tower of Malaysia was a way out, a chance to escape the grinding poverty of a future with no jobs. It’s a chance to make something of himself. Then he received a Clan seal, became a leader by accident, and most importantly, became responsible for others.Now he’s finding his footing, cutting deals and making promises, fending off tongs, triads, and deep-rooted power players. What he isn’t expecting is that his designation as a Clan Head means something to the Tower too.
All his research, all his planning, is going to go out the window as he faces the final challenge. One made all the more difficult by his new role.
Good news though, if he survives, there’s a lot to be gained.
If he survives.
