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.

Up and Ahead

Not long after that, Gao Rong declared himself rested. He certainly seemed energetic enough for the climb. We started at the same time, taking it slowly and carefully. "So, apprentice brother Du," I said, "you've never attempted the trial at the 4th checkpoint, either? 

"Yeah, never reached it. So I have no idea what it is. My brother refused to tell me anything, too. Said it was an unwritten rule of the King of the Mountain contest not to talk about the three checkpoint trials with anyone who hasn't passed them." 

"Just an unwritten rule then? At least there's no Taboo curse. Those are annoying." 

"You have a Taboo curse on you?" 

"Two, actually. To do with stuff that happened in the Mortal Heaven." 

"Shouldn't be—" Du Wuhan paused, straining a bit to move to the next hand and foot holds, "—too hard to get them removed up here, then." 

"Maybe so," I grunted, keeping up, "but it's pretty much on the bottom of my to-do list right now."
