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.

As far as the alliance goes, they probably wouldn't kill you, their respect for it goes that far…but even that much is off if you fought back against them."

"Wait. Disciples die in the Games?" Shokoya asked, wide-eyed.

"Very often, yes," said Qun Xing, "in the final event. The final event is…quite unique, and very dangerous. It's not likely you'd be able to outdo them in previous events anyway, in which case they'd most likely leave you alone."

"All about knowing your place, huh…" The words were under my breath, and they came out before I could stop them.
