Summoning the sect
'System, I have a system!' The young man began to jump with joy but froze mid-leap.
'Systems with mandatory missions... systems that threaten the host... systems that put hosts in tough situations... useless systems...' Thousands of terrible systems paraded through the young man's mind in an endless loop.
'Please! Please! Please, Master System, don't be one of those!!!' He began to beg mentally while cold sweat dripped down his face.
Ding!

[Would you like to initiate the sect summoning?]
[ [Yes] | [No] ]
'???' A huge question mark appeared on the young man's face.
'A sect system? From what I've read, they're usually quite powerful... Looks like I'm really in a xianxia. But before summoning this thing and possibly attracting monsters with the appearance of the sect and getting into trouble, I'd better see what I've got in my starter pack.'
A mischievous smile spread across his face as he rubbed his hands together.
'System, open the starter pack! Hehe, I bet there's a lot of good stuff. I've always been lucky!' The young man grinned with anticipation, but his expression froze in an instant.
'I... I just set a flag, didn't I?'
Ding!
'Here it comes... Whatever is coming, let it come! Let's go, system!' The young man thought, his gaze as determined as a hero heading into the final battle.
But his face stiffened as he read the following message:
[The system does not provide any kind of reward, including gift packs.]
'My... My... My OP system I was hoping for, where is it?! Give it back!... Sob I'm done for... Sob... The system doesn't even have rewards! System, so you're just going to give me a sect and let me fend for myself guarding a giant building in the middle of the woods... without cultivation?!' The young man collapsed to his knees dramatically, like a tragic hero from an opera.
'I... I'm going to starve... or be eaten by demonic beasts... What a cruel fate!'
Despite the comedic tone, the despair was genuine.
Ding!
[I recommend the host summon the sect. It will be your greatest support and helper in this world. As the sect's level increases, new elders and ancestors will be unlocked.]
The young man's eyes sparkled like stars. A fierce smile returned to his face.
'So, the sect already comes with ancestors and elders? Then I'll be the sect master and they'll have total loyalty to me, right?' The young man asked, his heart racing.
Ding!
[The sect comes with an initial number of elders according to the sect's level, and the number increases as the level rises. The sect also includes the summoning of a sect master. As for loyalty, as long as the host does not betray themselves, the summons will not betray them.]
The young man let out a sigh of relief.
'So it already comes with a sect master... And it's loyal to me. Even better! And what a funny way of saying 100% loyal. After all, how could I betray myself?' He laughed, his confidence returning.
'Well, let's get to the point! System, summon the sect!' He opened his arms as if to embrace the world and commanded mentally.
Ding!
[Summoning initiated!]
The young man waited, his heart pounding.
Chirp Chirp
Only the sound of birds sounded.
[Summoning successful]
The wind blew across his frozen, incredulous face.
'Huh?! But... system, nothing happened!' The young man looked around, seeing only the usual forest. No majestic buildings, no imposing gates.
Ding!
[Connecting to avatars!]
"Huh?!" The young man exclaimed, his mouth agape.
Suddenly, he felt a whirlwind in his mind. Three new thought processes emerged, along with three new lines of vision, each showing a different place from where he currently stood.
'What... what's happening?!' He thought, his mind spinning.
Then he realized. Not only could he see those places, but he could also feel the environment through the avatars.
"What the hell is this?!" He ended up shouting out loud, his head spinning from the multiple perspectives.
