"Have you ever wondered if authentic cultivation even exists?"
Heck, I've wondered that too. These stories... they're boring—but also kind of fun.

Narrator's Perspective:
You see a young man lying on the floor, glued to his phone, reading his favorite light novel.
Suddenly, he shuts the screen off with a groan.
"What the freak is this?! Why in the seven hells of Murim did they give the MC a system in chapter 156?! I came for sword duels and old-school cultivation, not cheat codes!"
Frustrated, he stands up and mutters, "Whatever. I'll just do my chores today."
He starts cleaning every corner of the house. Then, as he opens the fridge, he finds a sticky note:
> "Hey sweetie, we ran out of groceries. Had to go to work. It's just you this time—love, Mom."
The young man stares at it. Deadpan.
'Mom, you could've just woken me up…'
He grabs his wallet and heads for the door.

Hours later—
He's riding back home on his bike, plastic bags in the basket. Then—
VRRRROOOM!
A loud engine screams behind him.
SLAM!
A sports car comes out of nowhere and sends him flying. He hits the ground, bones cracked, groceries in the air.
"Dammit… what a way to die…" he mutters, bloodied, before darkness swallows him.

Then…
He woke up.
in a world of not his own.
