An Average Cultivator
As a kid in the world of giants, under the protection of others, life is spent in learning and growing to become a giant.
As an adult one is in constant conflict with the world trying to make one's own individual space. But before one manages to carve out their place in the world, they are weighed down by their responsibility.
After decades of being responsible one is old and weak, living in constant fear that the world they built their whole life might find them inadequate and useless.
As they live in constant fear, they are then surprised by the ever present inevitable death.
All the fear, passion, anxiety, attachment.. life, what was the point of it all?
One never has the time to stop and ask themselves that in their routine.
Lost in the worlds they themselves built, lost in their obsessions, forgetting the world that is the truth, they fall into delusion.
If they ever realize the state they are in, a fear greater than the fear of death grips them. They fear of their lives crumbling in front of them. The knowledge of one's ignorance, though opens a path for true knowledge, is the most dreadful indeed.
Whether they hide back in their shells at that point or search for the truth and take their first step in this journey called life marks the difference between the wise and the foolish.
A modern underachiever earthling finds himself in a cultivation world similar to the ones he read in novels. A world where killing is common. A terrifying world. How different is the life of a cultivator compared to a mortal's? How magical is it really? Follow Zhang Wuji as he experiences all flavors of life and grows in the world of cultivation as one of the many average cultivators with no system, no cheat.
