Gu Changgi - Scion and Heir of the Gu Family

Appearance: Light brown skin, dark brown eyes, brown hair, lean average frame

Personality: Changgi is a chaos in a silk. A spoiled genius who treats his powers like a party tricks, he’s brilliant, arrogant, and impossible to control. He jokes with power, manipulates without remorse, and wears his status like a badge and a weapon. But underneath the showmanship can you tame him?

Author’s Note

Just a quick heads-up: the current demo is still in its early stages. It’s short, and right now it may feel more like a wall of text than a full game. That’s because I’m still in the worldbuilding phase setting up the lore, systems, and structure that the rest of the game will build on.

I know it’s not super interactive yet, but I promise that more choices, systems, and gameplay will unfold as I continue. your feedback now really helps shape what comes next.

Thanks you so much for reading Transcended Awakening.
This is my first time publicly sharing a story like this, and I’d genuinely love to hear what you think!.

@Daibu

Gu Changgi

Thankfully it’s not ‘e’ at the end. I’d have felt bad for the mc otherwise, XD.

[Macros]

Seems promising! I’m not completely sure what the reincarnation hook will bring to the story, but I like the writing so far.

Might also point out, the game doesn’t seem to always acknowledge it when you play a female character. There’s been quite a few instances of “him” or “young master”.

[Harley_Robin_Evans]

Sounds so interesting

[Ominking1]

Oh my God this is IT this is what we have been waiting for thank you and hope you continue this Masterpiece

[Christopher_Bull]

An overpowered MC but it seems interesting so I’m gonna stick around. Some characters seem to have inflated egos so I can’t wait to teach them a thing or two about humility. Hopefully the RO’s will be will more appealing after meeting them properly grown up since some seem a bit off putting being prideful or bit entitled on writing but seeing them in game is a different experience. This is my own opinion no offense or anything

[Kingjo17]

I don’t know how many ppl would get this reference.

Oh, don’t worry, the Changgi in this universe has only had a small fraction of the evilness of the original Gu Changge.

@Macros
I already fixed some of the issues regarding misgendering, and if some of them still exist, can you please point them out for me, and I’ll fix them ASAP?

Also, in regard to the honorific of “young master,” At the start of this writing, I thought that the term “master” could be used to refer to anyone of any gender, and now that I’ve done some research about it, oh, I was wrong, and now I’ve patched it so that if you play as a female, you will be called “mistress,” “master” for male, and “Mx” for non-binary. thank you so much for pointing that out

@Ominking1
Thank you for reading my story, and I will surely continue it to its completion, and also expect to read the next part in a few days or so, as I had a lot of time to write the game.

@Christopher_Bull
Thank you for the feedback, and oh yeah, it’s literally possible to beat some humility out of them, and you can bully them to your heart’s content. except for any Imperial royals, though, as beating them out of regulations may end up in severe consequences, and in this game you will die a lot if you choose stupid choices. For example, facing a full-blown punch from an elder master with 0 endurance—yep, you get what you asked for.

As for the ROs. For their inflated egos and prideful attitudes, that’s actually intentional. as most of them were born into high-status and powerful families, and their personalities are shaped by that upbringing. They’ve been taught that they’re superior to others, they believe that they are destined for greatness, and they were raised in environments where humility isn’t exactly encouraged. as the saying goes “Villains are not born, they are made”

But it’s really up to the player how they want to handle that, as you can help them grow and gain new perspective, cater to their beliefs and play into their pride, antagonize and challenge their so-called “authority,” or just outright ignore them. and even Reiren despise most of those brats.

And thanks again for the feedback. No offense taken at all! I’m genuinely grateful for your thoughts, and I hope you enjoy how things develop from here.

@Kingjo17
Yep, expect to get a ton more references, as my inspiration for this world comes from many, many anime, manga, manhwa, manhua, and so on and on.

[Sung_Jin_woo]

I shall watch your career with great interest

[valence]

I had a good time with the demo! Your premise is fun and I like the world building. Feels like it has a lot of potential!

Screenshot of an error code

Ran into a bug when trying to choose nonbinary gender option. Otherwise everything worked fine!

[Christopher_Bull]

Thanks for responding to my feedback. I’m glad we can teach humility to some people but it’s common sense not to push your luck so much depending on who it is. Well at least u confirmed two ways to about the RO’s so maybe I could convince any I like to change or least give insights from another perspective.

Since we can actually die maybe I suggest adding checkpoints so we don’t have to start over if we made a bad choice by accident. All I know is all the kingdoms and politicians will be all over us when the secret gets out. I still wonder if the dream we had was really a dream at all or a vision of the future. We will find out one day

[Dragomer]

Oh, a martial art Isekai? I think this might be the first on this forum.

[Daibu]

Thank you so much for pointing it out! and I’m really glad you enjoyed the demo.

I’ve look into the issue and it turns out that i somehow forgotten to put quotation marks beside the Mx which caused an error. i already patched the demo and It should all be working as intended now!

@Christopher_Bull maybe I could convince any I like to change or least give insights from another perspective.

With the ROs, it really depends on the character and your relationship with them. The closer you are, the more influence you’ll have. Whether it’s a romance or a friendship, each character has their own route that develops based on how you connect with them.

I suggest adding checkpoints

And thanks for pointing out the need for checkpoints! I’ve had already planned to put saves on each chapters and arc but as of now i haven’t yet implemented it.

I still wonder if the dream we had was really a dream at all or a vision of the future. We will find out one day

And about that dream. who knows? Maybe it was just a dream. Maybe it was a vision of the future. Or maybe Madara Uchiha hit you with a genjutsu and none of that is even real.

@AMER1CANN1NJA09 Am i the only one being constantly thrown off by the grammar. It feels like every other sentence is written rather poorly. Not trying to be mean and it is just my opinion.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I really appreciate it as English isn’t my first language, so I know the grammar might be a bit off at times. and I’m still working on improving, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the story despite that. I’ll keep doing my best to make it better as it goes!

[AMER1CANN1NJA09]

Am i the only one being constantly thrown off by the grammar. It feels like every other sentence is written rather poorly. Not trying to be mean and it is just my opinion. But i personally think the writer should try putting this in google docs, Microsoft word, or some similar application. The story is really good though

[tea_with_crumpers]

I enjoyed the story a lot! I agree there were a fair amount of grammatical errors but I think that’s an easy fix.

So how are we related to Gu Channgi and Ado Nagahina? How below them are we in terms of the clan hierarchy? Also how powerful is the dad? He said he could use gravity powers. Is he like a great warrior of the clan?

I also wonder, are the Ado and Gu clans rivals or something? How unpopular is our family in both clans?

Sorry for all the questions lmao, you don’t have to answer them if you don’t want to.

I like that we aren’t a great heir of the clan or anything like that. Also someone else said the MC is overpowered but I didn’t get that impression. Like yeah we’ve got a lot of ki and affinity with 2 elements but I’m sure we’re gonna have serious rivals… I hope lmao.

Edit:

Also I really enjoyed the world building. The world seems really in depth so far. My only recommendation might be breaking it up into smaller chunks maybe? I was tempted to just skip the questions with Reiran.

[Christopher_Bull]

I said that because how unique we are wielding duel wielding two extremely rare powers which cancel each other out without having to train for them like normal, how strong we are already compared to others when our power was tested and any knowledge we had from our old life can be useful here. We are already in an adult mind set secretly training maintaining the innocent facade. No one has ever duel wield both of those powers which is why it has to stay secret until we are strong to fend ourselves and grown up.

[Christopher_Bull]

It’s still new and getting public feedback is important right now. Don’t sweat it

[tea_with_crumpers]

Yeah that’s fair, definitely. With no extra info I think we might already be one of the best in our generation off of that alone. But the way I view overpowered characters are like best of the whole verse with no rivals which I didn’t get the impression that we are since we have to hide our potential you know. But I think I’m just getting into semantics with that.

Edit:

I wonder if our parents are inadvertently stunting our growth by not revealing our potential. But it’s probably more prudent to hide the MC’s potential for now. I wonder if the little sibling will have anywhere near the same power.

I wonder if we could take over both clans?

[AMER1CANN1NJA09]

It is just like the main character from the anime the Eminence in Shadow. The main character hides his real strength and lets everyone underestimate him.

[Christopher_Bull]

It’s more out of fear of what the other kingdoms or politicians will do when word gets out which will cause problems for clans. It’s a good thing to hide it for now for our own sake and the clans. Maybe a small part is they are scared of our potential and are gonna make waves.
