Seventy percent angst, thirty percent sweetness, with a lighthearted tone!
A cynical, sly master who acts all laid-back x a cold-faced, secretly passionate disciple
The foremost venerable in the immortal sect ascended.
The twelve golden bells of the immortal sect rang out, and forty-nine peals echoed through the three realms.
Three, two, one, open your eyes!
Yippee! He's finally free!
As the number one in the immortal sect, Yun Ju had grown a little tired of life.
Nothing but the loneliness of being at the top.
A thousand people watched him eat, and ten thousand followed him whenever he went out.
He was getting pretty fed up.
So he decided to make a new account and head to the beginner's village to bully low-level players.
While everyone else was exploring a secret realm, he was going home.
While everyone else was being hunted by vicious beasts, he used them as mounts.
When others were in danger, he saved them with a casual flourish of his sword.
They thanked him profusely, and he waved away every gift, leaving without a word about his deeds.
At the immortal sect's tournament, everyone else was there to take the test, but he had written the answer key.
Everyone else practiced the cultivation method, but he had written it.
Everyone else struggled in battle, while he... defeated his opponent in an instant!
He wanted neither fame nor fortune. He just wanted to make a huge show of himself in front of everyone.
Who could have guessed he'd mess it up and get picked up by his former disciple?
Disciple (solemnly): "Will you take me as your master?"
Yun Ju: ???
What kind of upside-down nonsense is this?!
Later, rumors about him spread like wildfire throughout the immortal sect:
That good-for-nothing from the Yun family had braved the secret realm to carve a way out for everyone, then turned down all the treasures.
He took first place in the immortal sect's tournament and rejected Venerable Lan Du's offer to take him as a disciple.
And later still...
Someone saw him kissing Venerable Lan Du.
The immortal sect went up in flames.
So did Yun Ju.
Theme: May the world be at peace.
If the protagonist hadn't been tricked by a child, where would the body he originally prepared for himself be? You don't use your soul body to log into a trumpet and become a ghost cultivator, do you?
Is the protagonist really dead or fake? If it was a fake death, how could he become a lonely ghost and be plotted by a child to work for the child? If it's a real death, the protagonist commits suicide because he doesn't want to go out and be surrounded by people, and is he willing to be a lonely ghost?
