In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth.

This…is NOT their story.

Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation.

But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into.

Cultivating As A Side Character

"My name is Qun Xing. I am currently the 27th ranked Outer Court disciple, and the highest ranked bow user."

I reflexively gave him an impolite smile, hastily changing it to a polite one. "What can I do for you, senior brother?"

"I've been hearing lately that you're quite good with a bow yourself. It's something of a hobby of mine to hold mini-tournaments among ranked disciples a few times a year—ones with special matches that allow for free movement rather than being restricted to a ring. I was hoping to invite you to the next one in a month so I can see if you're as skilled as the rumors."

"I have no reason to refuse," I said, meeting his eyes, "but simply as a point of curiosity, is this a tournament just for fun, or are there prizes?"
