Location: Outskirts of Portal City, Sector 9 – a desolate, monster-infested zone.
The wind howled across the jagged ruins of an abandoned city sector. Burnt-out vehicles, broken drones, and blood-stained weapons littered the cracked streets. Cries of dying hunters echoed in the distance, quickly silenced by snarls and tearing flesh.
In the center of the chaos, a lone figure sat cross-legged on a rusted car hood.
Eyes closed. Calm breath. Golden light shimmered faintly around him like the last rays of the setting sun.
His name—Rishabh.His soul—Bodhidharma.His cheat—SSSS+ AFK Cultivation System.

In just minutes of meditation, Rishabh's Qi channels were flowing like divine rivers. In his past life, it took monks years to reach this level of internal energy.
Now?
Seconds.
The sky above him cracked with a dimensional rift. Another portal opened, pouring out a wave of screeching monsters. Misshapen creatures with crystal horns and flaming claws slammed into the ground. A group of elite hunters nearby—equipped with mana rifles, barrier drones, and exo-enhanced reflex suits—rushed into position.
"D-Class Rift breach!""Hold the line!""Why is there a civilian here? Get him out of—"
The leading monster—a hulking beast with obsidian skin and glowing red veins—charged straight toward Rishabh.
But he didn't move.
He simply opened his eyes.

In a flash, Rishabh's right hand shimmered with a golden void seal. He raised his palm slowly—
BOOM!
A deafening shockwave exploded outward. The monster didn't just stop. It disintegrated—its body unraveled at the molecular level, turned to ash, and vanished before it even touched the ground.
Silence.
The hunters stared, wide-eyed, mouths agape. Their most advanced plasma cannons couldn't have done that.

The System Grows
As more monsters poured in, Rishabh didn't lift a finger.
"AFK Auto-Cultivation Combat Protocol: Testing Phase Active."
Golden rings formed in the air. Invisible hands struck pressure points mid-air. Waves of Qi lashed out like storms, slicing through monsters with surgical precision. He was still seated, eyes closed again, but the battlefield looked like a god had descended.
The First Twist – System Glitch Detected?
Ding!
⚠️ Warning: System Pulse Interference Detected.⚠️ Unidentified Code Signature: [???] attempting to access Host's Core.
Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed Rishabh's chest. He gasped—eyes snapping open.
"Who dares…?"
Inside his spiritual sea, a shadow had appeared. An ancient voice whispered, cold and distant:
"I remember you… Monk. You escaped fate once. But I am still watching…"
Rishabh stood, Qi flaring around him like a solar storm.
"System, isolate the source of the interference."

He clenched his fists. "Even in this world, enemies from the past follow me..."
But the system responded instantly.

Back to Battle – And Ascension Begins
Rishabh leapt into the air, floating now—not flying, floating. Gravity no longer obeyed him.
He extended both hands outward, forming ancient seals.
[Technique Fusion: Qi Chains + Soulfire Purge = Heaven-Binding Flame Prison]
Massive golden chains erupted from the sky, binding monsters mid-air, while divine fire erupted beneath them, purifying their corrupted cores.

Aftermath and Fear
The battle was over in under five minutes. Not a single hunter had fired a shot.
One of the elite hunter captains walked toward him slowly, armor clicking with each step.
"Who… are you?"
Rishabh simply smiled.
"I'm just a monk... cultivating."
He turned and walked away—barefoot, robes flowing, golden sparks trailing behind him.
Behind him, every hunter stared as their system feeds flickered with a name that would soon shake the entire world:
