After a life filled with disappointments, Ling Taixu finds himself unexpectedly reincarnated into a fantasy world through the very game he once played. Awakening in a realm governed by powerful martial arts and ancient secrets, he discovers he has the chance to rewrite his destiny. Determined to seize this second chance, he establishes the Enchanted Heaven Sect, a sanctuary dedicated to nurturing only the most talented female disciples. As he trains them to harness their potential, he must navigate a treacherous world filled with rival sects, hidden dangers, and the looming threat of an impending invasion. With each disciple's growth, Taixu finds his own power rising through the games system that still stuck to him, but the path to greatness is fraught with challenges. As bonds of trust and loyalty are tested, can he protect his newfound family and lead them to victory against the forces that seek to tear them apart? Join Ling Taixu on an exhilarating journey of cultivation, camaraderie, and self-discovery in a world where only the strongest prevail. Will he rise to the peak of martial prowess, or will he fall to the shadows lurking in the dark? Wait...This world...Is this actually Martial Peak? =================================== Notes: Obviously I don't own martial peak, so any elements relating to it aren't my own creation. Second, the system plays a pretty big part in the story yet it doesn't have an AI or a system spirit, nor are there any quests that drive the plot and force the MC. Third, the world is set thousands of years before the plot of Martial Peak began, and I also am not very well versed in Martial Peak(MP) lore, so forgive some of my mistakes regarding that. (All MP info is from Novel not manga) *There will be no dedicated R18 chapters, only segments in various chapters. Cause I don't see the point in making whole chapter of R18, I mean like, just go watch some videos... Most importantly, write a review and give your feedback, I read every single comment. Hope you enjoy.
"Ah~ M-master~! You're too rough!"
"Mnngh, master, your Yang Qi is filling me up!"
In my dark room, I sat watching the cut-scene play out. This was a game I had started a month ago, and now, I finally finished the final stage.
[Congratulations, you've conquered all the disciples!]
[Final Score: 999!! Thanks for playing!]
"Haa. That must be a world record..." I said indifferently.
It didn't really make a difference how much accomplishments I have or how much money I make. Since all of this is an illusion I've immersed myself in. Rather, to make up for something I lacked.
Impotence.
That's right, I can't get it up. No matter how many surgeries or therapies I take, no matter how hard the stimulation, heck, I could be 7 inches deep inside a women's throat and I wouldn't feel a thing.
I have no one. The last of my family died 3 years ago, and although I had friends, once they find out about my 'condition'... They become different.
They reassure me that it didn't matter, but I can see it. Their looks towards me changed. Pity and ridicule apparent in their gazes. It made me sick how differently peaple could treat you over something you can't control...pfft, I didn't mean it like that but it is funny.
I sank back into my chair, contemplating my life. Erotic games were my solace in life, they immersed me in the illusion of the life that I wished I had.
*Ding*
Moving my eyes to the screen, a new message overtook the screen. I immediately sat up and focused, this... A message from the creator of the game. After all, he was the only one in-game that can name himself HeavenlyDao.
HeavenlyDao: Greetings.
'So he's going with the theme of the game, heh, I finished Martial Peak's novel my boy, I can keep up with you.'
Ling Taixu: Greetings senior. For what reason does your excellency contact this humble one for.
HeavenlyDao: Hahaha, good, good, you know your manners, this one is pleased. I have only come to express my sincere congratulations, you're the first one to reach such a score!
Ling Taixu: You praise this one too much senior, it is your game that is worthy of admiration, I dare say it is the best I have ever played.
HeavenlyDao: Hoho. I say a reward is in order, what say you?
Ling Taixu: I wouldn't dare accept any reward from senior, senior's game has already made my days much more enjoyable, that is the best reward for this one.
HeavenlyDao: Youngun, I like you more and more! But I am sure you'll change your mind once you hear what I plan on offering you.
HeavenlyDao: What would you say if I offered you a chance to leave this world behind and ascend higher!
'Huh?'
Ling Taixu: Excuse me for being too dumb senior, but this junior doesn't understand. What ascend? Is that an exclusive game extension?
HeavenlyDao: Words will not be enough to convince you of my words, so I will just show you.
Confused, I raised an eyebrow, expecting him to send a video any moment now, but what happened was something I couldn't quite explain.
A ball of light shot out from the screen, and before I can react had sunk itself between my eyebrows, my eyes turned hazy as I became immersed in my own mind, were scenes started playing out along with the HeavenlyDoa's narration.
"This world you reside in is but a planet in a decaying pocket dimension of a dead realm. Soon this place along with all the surrounding galaxies will die."
With these words the scene of the stars, planet, and galaxies transforming from their vibrant colours to a dull grey played out, then I seemed to travel out of the pocked dimension and into another planet, this one many times the size of earth with a single eclipsing super-continent.
"It might seem familiar to you."
"That's- the game world?!"
"Indeed, I had modelled the game after it. Unlike your current realm, this one isn't dying and Qi is still abundant." He suddenly spoke in a serious tone.
"Boy, what I'm offering you is a chance to achieve greater hights than all of your ancestors! An opportunity to excape your fate and go beyond! Don't you wish to actually be the protagonist for once?!"
These words hit deep into my soul, my heart couldn't beat any faster as excitement rose within me. Those places I had previously only thought were fantasies were real, dragons and beasts, fame and glory, an exciting life!
I didn't know about anyone else, but there's no way in hell that I refuse this.
"I agree."
The voice seemed pleased, "Good. You will now be transported to the time equivalent to the start of the game."
"Wait!" I said, confused.
"What about after the game ends?"
"Heh, you'll go beyond. The game is originally written after true events that already happened, all I'm doing is sending you back in time a bit."
I grew silent, and he continued, "Don't worry, the game system you're used to will be there to help you, no strings attached, I won't be coming to retrieve it or manipulating it, in truth, I wasn't even the one to create it."
"Huh, then who did?"
"I don't know, I just chances upon it on my travels. It changes its functions depending on the user, it is truly a world defying treasure."
"Then why didn't you use it yourself?" I raised an eyebrow, such a good thing, he should have just kept it for himself.
The voice seemed to carry a ringer if regret as it said, "Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, it would never bond with me, but with the humans from your planet, it seemed like no problem. Is it your lack of Qi or something else, this Ancient One doesn't know."
I don't know why, but my eyes grew wet, my emotions were rising, almost sobbing, I said.
"Why.. Why are you doing all of this for me!"
The voice grew silent, before sighing, "I'm afraid you aren't ready to know yet. Reach the peak of this realm, and you'll come to understand. *Cough* *Cough*"
"Are you okay?" I said worriedly, although I only just met him, the goodwill he's shown me, whether true or not, was not something I was ungrateful for.
"I'm fine. Now get ready, your body will undergo some changes as soon as you arrive there, so don't be alarmed."
With a genuine smile, I sincerely spoke, "Thank you."
Then without another thought, everything went black.
"Ughh," I woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling, my whole body was aching and my head spinning.
I was in what looked like an ancient Chinese house, it has fallen into disrepair judging from the cracks on the walls and dust laying around.
My eyes immediately shifted to the disorderly furniture and the books strewn around, it was as if this place had been ransacked.
Holding my aching head, a lock of unfamiliar hair descended into my field of vision. Shock overtook me as I held it, it was silky smooth, white in color, and really long.
"This isn't my hair–" huh, even my voice changed.
It was manlier yet smooth and gentle. If I had one word to describe it, it was charming.
I hurriedly stood up in search of a mirror, disregarding the fact that I felt lighter on my feat and a head taller, I managed to locate a broken mirror on the ground.
"This...my in game character?"
My look right now was the spitting image of my in game character. Crescent shaped eyes that were of a vibrant pink color, snow-white hair that descended loosely onto my shoulders and back, a single lock on the right side of my face was braided, adding to the look while the tips of my hair had the same flaming pink color of my eyes.
I wore loose black clothes that leaned into the luxurious side, with silver and grey decorations depicting heavenly clouds and smoke.
The door creaked and I headed outside, a burst of fresh air entering my lungs. Infront of me was a deserted courtyard a few tens of meters in width and length, walking forward onto its marble flooring, I reached the dilapidated gate of the sect.
"It really is the exact same as the game."
My head sunk in contemplation. If me waking up aligned with the start of the game, then the first event should be about to start. Remembering the events to come, goosebumps travelled down my spine.
'I always wondered why an erotic game would have such an in-depth storyline' I thought helplessly.
As if on cue, a young beauty with cascading black hair, mesmerising amber eyes and a bountiful chest with a great figure to top it all off.
But right now, her white skin glistened with sweat and dirt, her expression one of panic, eyes puffy and red from crying. Her breath came in quick, shaky gasps, and her hands trembled as they clutched her clothes.
Upon spotting me, she rushed towards me and kowtowed at me legs, smashing her head against the dirt. The sound echoed in the stillness of the courtyard, a stark contrast to the serene surroundings.
"Great master! Please help my village! We're being attacked by bandits, please! My family they *sniff*"
Her voice cracked, and the sight of her breaking down sent a pang through my heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mixing with the dirt on her face, creating a stark image of vulnerability. I noticed words hovering above her head: "Daiyu | Mortal," surrounded by a purple aura. In the game, that indicated her talent—an Epic-grade disciple, the perfect tutorial character.
'Purple corresponds to Epic. Not bad.'
With a gentle smile, I reached out my hand harmlessly.
"Stand up, a beautiful face like yours shouldn't be covered in dirt." As I helped her up, I placed a hand on her cheek and wiped some of her tears and mud.
Her amber eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, the panic faded, replaced by a flicker of hope. "Thank you, master," she whispered, her voice barely audible, filled with a mix of gratitude and awe.
Apparently not expecting a 'master' to be so cordial.
"What's your name."
"Daiyu"
"It suits you."
Daiyu means "black jade.". In Ancient China, jade was considered the most precious stone, similar to how we view gold.
Looking up and my handsome visage, a small blush spread across her cheeks, but then she remembered her plight. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, I shushed her gently.
"Shsh. I understand. I will help your village."
The floodgates that were just closed reopened and the warm tears flowed down her cheeks. Her appearance really was too pitiful, so much so that I wanted to embrace her and tell her everything was gonna be fine. But now wasn't the time, we aren't that close and I don't want to freak her out.
"But I also want something in exchange." I said playfully.
Yet due to her panick, she didn't seem to catch the lightheartedness of my words and immediately froze, unexpectedly, determination flashed across her eyes as she loudly declared.
"If your excellency helps Daiyu today, Daiyu promises to offer herself up as your slave until she dies!"
I couldn't help but laugh a bit, "Haha, It's nothing so serious, in fact, I want you to worship me as your master. What do you say?"
My face couldn't have been gentler, coupled with my pink eyes and voice, it was an immediate critical hit.
Her face did a complete 180, now beaming with a smile, she kneeled onto the ground.
"Master!"

Smirking, I said, "Now let's see who dares harm this one's disciples!"
