Dream Cultivation

Patrick was a college student, it was his final year. He never really had any hardships, and that was driving him mad. He had an exercise to do in 2 weeks? He would do it 4 hours before the deadline. He had a semestral exam? He would learn the day before. He was bored, bored of life, and even going out with friends became dull. He wanted some challenges in his life, but there were none. He started reading novels like a mad man. He could finally escape this shitty world. Then came alcohol, immersion was even bigger. One day, after heavy drinking and reading. He found himself in a dream... Dream about cultivation, at least he thought so. ====================== This cover does not belong to me.
