Cultivating As A Side Character

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.

End of the Hunt

Once I was able to, I actually held off on going for the winning roll for a turn, electing instead to remove whatever pieces of his I could to slow him down.

"Not confident in winning without using the Snake ability?" said the Angler, "no…it's more like you're the type who doesn't take a risk unless he has to."

I nodded. "But when it is time to take a risk, I don't shy away." I moved my Heir piece, the strongest minor piece that couldn't join the board until the 5th layer, to attack his own Heir along with two Pawns. The Angler's brow furrowed—I'd be able to roll five dice to attack against just three to defend, since his last attack had left his Heir piece on a space by itself. Even so, he rolled 14, and my dice only beat him by 3 points. "Is it because he's a genius, or is the one who set up the greater board along with myself simply not a very good player himself?" the Angler grumbled as he removed his Heir piece and the losing Pawns from the board.
