Han Junwei is disturbed by memories that are not his own. Visions of burning warships and forgotten battlefields torment him, as phantom lives bleed into reality, forcing him to question the nature of identity and destiny.

Haunted by abandonment and driven by an unrelenting desire to conquer the world, Junwei pushes himself to physical and psychological extremes, discovering both the majestic beauty and chilling dangers hidden in this world. 

The Ninth Ascender is an intimate exploration of obsession, solitude, and the eternal human struggle against the self.
