An AI cultivation RPG.
Start as an outer disciple.
A cracked spirit root. Three spirit stones. One jar of healing powder that two people need. Enter a xianxia world and choose what kind of cultivator you become.

Your next breakthrough is only part of the story.
A sect gives you teachers, work and protection. It also gives you obligations. Spend your last spirit stones on a technique, owe a favor to a rival, or risk your standing with an elder to help someone outside the gates.
You write what your character does. The AI Game Master describes the response, plays the other disciples and elders, and develops the consequences. Auferet keeps story memory and editable records for the people and places in your campaign, so you can return to it over later sessions.
The outer-disciple start puts you inside a small dilemma before asking you to invent an entire world. For a different opening, choose another premise above or write your own.
An actual opening at Reed Mountain Sect
This game began with the outer-disciple start above. An injured rival is waiting on the steps, and the sect’s last healing powder is in your satchel.
The morning mist clings to the steep stone stairs of the Reed Mountain Sect, dampening the hem of your outer disciple robes. Your chest aches with the familiar, dull throb of your cracked spirit root, a constant reminder of your limited potential. Elder Wen’s command weighs heavily in your satchel, the sect’s final jar of healing powder, destined for the infirmary. Halfway up the winding path, you freeze; slumped against a jagged outcrop, bleeding and pale, is a disciple you recognize as a rival from your training cohort. He clutches his side, eyes flickering open as he spots you, his expression shifting from pain to a desperate, silent plea.

Recorded November 8, 2026, using Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, the free-tier model. This is the complete opening; your run will vary. Read the recording, including the first player action.
Choose how cultivation works.
Decide what separates one realm from the next. Is a breakthrough earned through meditation, a dangerous trial, understanding a technique, or a pill someone else controls? Put those ideas in your setting and build a character whose choices matter within it.
For qi pools, stats and mechanical breakthrough requirements, use an editable game mode. The story starter on this page sets the situation; you choose and configure the rules you want. You can keep the adventure focused on the story while you develop them.
You can also bring your own lore: a sect’s laws, a map of rival territories, a list of techniques, or the history your character is trying to escape. Keep the details you care about in the campaign rather than repeating them at the start of every session.
Rivals, masters and a reason to keep playing.
A stronger enemy is easy to invent. A rival who remembers why you spared her gives you something to return to. Ask an elder for a lesson, make a bargain for medicine, or leave your sect and discover who follows you.
Solo play lets you take the story at your own pace. In shared scenes with friends, your characters can cooperate, argue over a sect mission, or approach the same problem with different techniques.

Cultivation game questions
What is an AI cultivation game?
You play a character in a xianxia story: training, learning techniques, joining sects and pursuing a path toward immortality. In Auferet, you type your actions and an AI Game Master plays the people and world around you.
Do I need to know xianxia lore?
No. Start with the outer-disciple scenario and learn about the sect as you play. You can also describe your own setting, from a wandering martial artist to an alchemist running a small shop.
Can I choose the cultivation realms and rules?
Yes. Define your setting’s realms and techniques in your world. For tracked qi pools, stats and breakthrough rules, use or create an editable game mode. The starter on this page begins as a story; it does not install a cultivation rules system.
Is this a text-based game?
Yes. You read the scene and type what your character does. You can negotiate, train, investigate or fight without choosing from a fixed dialogue menu.
Can I play free or with friends?
You can start free in your browser. Solo play is available, and multiplayer lets friends bring their characters into shared scenes. Paid plans provide more play or access to other models.
The jar is in your hands.
