Even though he has found solace as an urban parkour and an alter-ego as “Ironpond” in a virtual fantasy game – his visions of infinite freedom, even immortality – have simply been the unreachable dreams of a confused young man. His growing troubles and the appearance of Jade Swallow , an alluring, ever-present figure who appears– even in his virtual world – and always remains just out of his reach, pushes IronPond Du to face his conviction to pursue a hidden Immortal Cave in real life and in game with his esports team, Brickhouse, that promises answers and powers. All of this coincides with the disappearance of LA Chinatown restauranteur Frank Fat along with many other strange, unexplained deaths happening around the city, and Ironpond Du suddenly finds himself in the middle of a brewing civil war between supernatural warriors who have splintered apart -- perhaps as someone who will tip the scales.

It is a story of action, transformation and mystery, but at its core it is about homecoming. And what’s homecoming without a chance for redemption? And you know what ALWAYS comes with redemption…? KUNG-FU - ok not always. But ours does! We couldn’t be more excited to kick off this limited series, the first in the Immortal interconnected Wuxia content universe. Welcome to THE ADEPT! THE ADEPT is about Amy, a young Chinese-American who runs away from an abusive home, destined to be another orphan street thug. But then she is visited in her dreams by a Shaolin Kung Fu Master, who begins to train her in the wilds of this Dreamscape, preparing her to face an unnamed evil that he'll never speak about. The dreams give her meaning – purpose – the training empowers her – and she learns to cope. But why her? Amy scores tickets too a benefit concert for Ali's favorite singer - Sasha True. An international sensation, famous for catchy lyrics, flashy dance moves and a beat with a killer hook. (Sasha is more than what she seems, and when the going gets tough her "true" colors will be revealed) Then, with no warning, the dreams just stop. And just as suddenly as he came into her life, he's gone. Was he just a figment of her imagination? It’s now been ten years and Amy comes home again, hoping to rekindle the relationship with Ali, the younger sister she once abandoned. Ali has had her own trauma and pain in that time, but she covers it up with a carefree, carpe-diem attitude. If you don't think about your pain, did it ever really happen? Amy scores tickets too a benefit concert for Ali's favorite singer - Sasha True. An international sensation, famous for catchy lyrics, flashy dance moves and a beat with a killer hook. (Sasha is more than what she seems, and when the going gets tough her "true" colors will be revealed) What could possibly derail the reunion of the estranged sisterhood? Bad guys. When a kidnapping attempt targets Sasha, Amy has no choice but to break out her Shaolin skill learned from her dreams. But this is no amateur kidnapping, it's a well-organized attack from a shadowy operation. And then, among the commotion…a surprise. She comes face to face with the Shaolin Master from her dreams. Wu-what indeed. We can’t wait to introduce you to Amy, Ali, Fa Sheng, and Sasha and we’ve got much to unpack over this series. Where has Amy been? Why did the dreams choose her? What is this shadowy organization and how is it connected to the Shaolin Master? And hold up, the Shaolin Master is real?

We Invite You to Become a Shareholder in Immortal " Immortal Studios is kicking off a big part of our goal to be an 'exponential' organization by making it possible for our community to become shareholders of the Company .

Learn about Peter Shiao, Founder of Immortal Studios, and his vision for the company, the importance of telling inspirational and immersive stories based on Wuxia, and awakening the hero in each of us. Welcome to Immortal: Home of Modern Wuxia Stories for Martial Arts Fantasy Fans What does being a hero mean? PETER SHIAO Founder and CEO Peter is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer, leading Immortal Studios in creating a new story universe to awaken the hero within everyone and defining a new business model centered around direct user engagement. Peter has a decades long career leading innovative entertainment and media ventures between the East and West, and has been active in empowering underserved communities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Shiao In His Own Words Reading Wuxia novels was my favorite past time growing up. In that ancient and mystical world of martial heroes’ journeys, I discovered a reality that inspired and excited me. Through them I discovered the possibility of greatness and freedom born from self-empowerment and connecting to Spirit. Even now, many years later, those feelings are still with me – in fact, they’ve only grown stronger. We are all living during a challenging time, and the enormity of the tasks and difficulties at hand can feel dispiriting and overwhelming. These are also EXACTLY the backdrop for the emergence of heroes. I believe that stories can be an ignition to help us meet the challenges of our lives with courage and grace – and that Wuxia, and its heroes of all sizes, shapes and colors -- are its vanguard. In re-awakening my own hero to create a modern and elevated home for this timeless genre, we hope to awaken – and unleash – yours too. Here, I also dedicate Immortal to the memory of my father, who awakened my hero.

COMMUNITY Immortal Studios is founded on principles of radical fan engagement. We believe community is critical to process of creating stories and the power of the communities to take these stories to the world. Thus our goal is to cultivate a community of fans that embody the ideals of Wuxia , inspire them to seek their own stories and even take part in the Immortal Storyverse . Here are some of our community programs. AWAKEN YOUR HERO CHALLENGE JOIN US IN BEING A HERO The concept for this TikTok challenge comes from our first comic book title, The Adept , in which the main character, Amy, undergoes years of Shaolin training from a kung fu master – this all happens in her dreams in a place called The Dreamscape. The training empow ers her, inspires her to find her purpose, and…awakens the hero inside of her. Our idea for the campaign is a series of videos in which various people “awaken” from a dream and then demonstrate spectacular talent – as if they too were trained in the Dreamscape with a Shaolin Master. Read NextShark's Article ‘Awaken Your Hero Challenge’ on TikTok Has Everyone Bringing Back Kung Fu Culture Watch Awaken Your Hero Videos on TikTok Through our Wuxia stories of heroism,self-cultivation, transformation and sacrifice, and the community programs that we organize, we hope to awaken the hero within each of us, ... by inspiring and igniting noble actions that are of benefit to oneself, and the world at large.
