[High Martial Arts + Power Fantasy + Decisive Violence + Fast-Paced]
Chen Zhou transmigrates from Blue Star. His parents are both dead, and he is saddled with a mortgage.
He starts out with the protagonist's usual setup, but unfortunately, he has no talent for martial arts. Worse, nightmares plague him every night, and the vital energy he worked so hard to cultivate keeps dwindling.
With all hope lost, he is fortunate that there is always a way forward.
Chen Zhou discovers that he can control the nightmares that attack him every night, and even make them affect reality.
From then on, before going to bed each day, Chen Zhou just has to think about what he needs, then enter his dreams with that goal in mind.
“My cultivation has been improving a little too slowly lately. I want to play a game to level it up.”
In his dreams, Chen Zhou enters a post-apocalyptic world, armed with a gun and unlimited ammo. He blasts every zombie he sees.
Each zombie he kills gives his cultivation a boost.
What a thrill.
“I've been slacking off a little in my martial arts training lately. I want to raise my martial arts level fast.”
In his dreams, Chen Zhou gets his wish and meets a martial arts master.
Defeat the other man, and Chen Zhou gains his martial arts level.
Fantastic.
Decades of hard-earned progress for others are no match for a single dream of mine.
After countless years, someone asks Chen Zhou why he is so powerful.
Chen Zhou answers with a straight face: “I get a good night's sleep every day, and then I naturally become this powerful in my dreams.”
