For every MC that rises to the heavens, countless side characters bite the dust. This is a first-person anthology of the tragic stories of the mountains of corpses that lost their voices under the damage caused by the unfair tropes.
"Molesting the cultivation world, one trope at a time."

The Stepping Stones

Along with my master, I visited Kings, Sect Leaders, Clan Masters, Saintesses, and even some demons. Same as the people that frequented Mayor's Office near my shop, these cultivators were also overwhelmed by their ambitions. 


After cultivating for decades and centuries, the bodies of these guys were already far beyond the imagination of plebians like me. They weren't affected by heat, cold, and ailments and stayed full of unused energy circulating in their bodies all the time but their hearts and minds were bitter and lonely. 


At least that was the case with most cultivators I had met, but I never told it to any of them, just like how I didn't tell Young Master Feng that letting go of his fiancee and spending time caring for his old parents was a better choice, because they wouldn't have liked to hear it and instead would've started detesting me.
