I'm Just a Gatekeeper, but I Can Match Anyone Blow for Blow

The Way of the Immortals is a new game developed by one of today’s hottest gaming companies. It is the first fully immersive, open-world fantasy martial arts game ever made, with complete freedom of action.

Zhang Sanqian is one lucky player. Out of millions of competitors, she won a spot in the non-wipe beta. But when she successfully enters the game, she unexpectedly becomes a gatekeeping NPC.

She diligently stands guard in the game for who knows how many days and nights. Then one day, the restrictions on her NPC storyline and movement suddenly disappear, while she retains one special NPC skill:

[You’ll always be evenly matched with anyone. Whatever their level, you’ll be at the same level, and you’ll always find yourself facing a worthy opponent.]

[When your health bar hits the critical line, the Gatekeeper’s ultimate skill activates. No one can force their way into Minghua Sect past my blade.]

Zhang Sanqian looks at the game’s main quest, which requires her to descend the mountain and search for her fellow disciples, and the side quest to guard the gate of Minghua Sect behind her. For a moment, she is torn.

In the end, she breaks with her sect’s ancestral teachings, lifts the gate bearing Minghua Sect’s sign over her shoulders, and sets off to roam the world.

From then on, a young woman carrying a gate appears across the Tianyuan Continent, asking everyone she meets, “Have you seen my senior brothers and sisters, whom I lost touch with years ago?”
