After Losing All My Cultivation, I Went on a Rampage in an Online Game

[Upcoming full-dive VR game novel: NPCs Don't Have Romance Skills [Full Dive]. Please add it to your favorites!]

Shen Qingyi is a peerless genius, the strongest being in the cultivation world.

On the verge of ascending, he sacrifices himself alongside the Demon Lord to save the world.

With all his cultivation destroyed, he transmigrates into the body of a shut-in with paralyzed legs, just as the landlord comes to demand rent.

Landlord: Pay up! If you can't, get out!

Shen Qingyi: I swear on my character that I'll pay you back.

Landlord: I'd sooner believe I could kill a Little Catgirl at level zero!

Shen Qingyi: Huh? Is she a little catgirl from the demon race?

Cultivation genius Shen Qingyi enters the full-dive cultivation game Heart's Inquiry and easily takes down a Little Catgirl.

The landlord hands over a rare, valuable drop and begs Shen Qingyi to renew his lease.

And so Shen Qingyi finds the perfect way to get rich: becoming a game companion for hire!

Shen Qingyi: Boss Yuan, you have excellent roots and bones. You're suited to cultivation.

Xie Qiuyuan: Then I'll join the Clearheart Sect just like you.

Not long after...

Xie Qiuyuan: Shen Qingyi, if you don't love me, then kill me.

Then he defects from his sect, immediately joins the demonic cultivators, and gets a 150% experience bonus!

[System: Congratulations, player Yuanye, on unlocking the Demon Lord main quest.]

Shen Qingyi, who works for pay: ...Boss, you really know how to have fun.

Players across the server: Are we all part of your play?

Shen Qingyi: Boss Yuan, where are we grinding levels today?

Xie Qiuyuan: I wonder if killing NPCs gives experience. That sect leader looks like he needs a beating.

Shen Qingyi: Sure.

[System: Congratulations, players Shen Qingyi and Yuanye, on unlocking the main quest.]

Players: ??? Whose main quest has killing an NPC as its unlock condition?!

Shen Qingyi: Boss, what do you want to play today?

Xie Qiuyuan: I want to try dual cultivation.

Shen Qingyi: Are you holding a tournament to find a spouse?

Xie Qiuyuan: I think you're perfect for the role.

Shen Qingyi: ...A human and a demon falling in love will bring down heavenly retribution.

Xie Qiuyuan: I'll raise your pay.

Shen Qingyi: It's just a game. Why not?

[System: The number one cultivator, Shen Qingyi, and the Demon Lord, Yuanye, are about to practice dual cultivation. All players, please stop them.]

Players: System, you have way too much faith in us!

The whole story is probably just wild daydreaming. Please don't overthink it, orz!

---- Upcoming story: NPCs Don't Have Romance Skills [Full Dive] ----

Game ID: Ye Huaili, the strongest sword cultivator character in the full-dive game Divine Encounter.

He has top-tier gear and the highest combat power on the server, an existence all players can only dream of catching up to.

No one knows that Ye Huaili awakened to consciousness the moment he was created.

No one knows that after Ye Huaili's controller betrayed his guild, got hunted down, and had his account stripped back to a blank slate, Ye Huaili truly took charge of his own gaming life.

He is a ghost in the data, afraid to risk his life lightly.

When hunted, he pulls off a dazzling series of moves, defeats the guild's experts, and escapes with ease.

Then he faces the guild's last member: the one who crafted his top-tier gear, the guild leader he betrayed, and the richest, most merciless player on the server, Huai Yimingzhi. A top-level strategist with the combat skills of a total novice.

Guild members: The guild leader is doomed!!!

But then the fearsome Ye Huaili suddenly slides to his knees and clings to Huai Yimingzhi's leg. "Daddy, please love me again!"

Guild members: ???

They say you won't fall for the same trick twice, especially not someone as cunning and intelligent as Huai Yimingzhi.

And yet...

Ye Huaili dons gear even more dazzling than before and returns to the top of the combat rankings;

Moves into their guild leader's treasure-filled mansion and helps the combat newbie reach number one on the support rankings;

Becomes the guild's second-in-command, beneath only their leader, and helps them claim the title of number one guild on the server.

Guild members: ...I get it now.
