Hudson Appleseed is a young corporate drone, living with his cat and taking karate classes on the weekends to boost his confidence and give an outlet to his pent-up rage… and the next thing he knows, he's lost his job, stumbled onto a powerful cultivation technique, and forced to join a super-secret, worlds-spanning organization that calls themselves S.E.C.T. – the Society for Exploring Cultivation Techniques.

He's been walked on his whole life, trampled, and taken advantage of by others, and was unfortunately smart enough to realize it. But maybe, just maybe, there's a path for him to get out from under the heel of the man. To release his anger, rather than bottle it up and control it. To grasp power, and not be grasped by it.

Let's see if he takes it…

….

S.E.C.T. starts in a real-world setting, but with cultivation elements, secret societies behind the scenes, and maybe other worlds popping in. I like stories with a slower burn, so would expect the same here.

After writing 20 chapters or so, some of the comments & reviews suggested the story is more like a superhero coming-of-age type of story, and there is some truth to that. MC is a regular joe, struggling to adapt to new powers and the cutthroat philosophy of the cultivation world.

I'm also a long-time reader, first-time writer. Appreciate any and all feedback!

The plan is to release chapters twice a week on Sundays and Wednesdays. More if I get the time.
