In a clean and elegant room, a man was sitting in front of the computer. The light from the screen illuminated the good-looking face of the man as he was wholeheartedly focused on the computer.
...
On the screen was a loading bar that quickly reached 100%.
"Finally, it has been downloaded."
I pushed the bangs that reached my eye as I looked at the computer screen.
Truly, a 3-minute wait for the ramen to cook, the wait for the lecture of the principal to end, and the wait for a game to be downloaded are so torturous. Time seems to essentially slow down to savor the pain of people.
On the computer screen, a game called [Cultivation Online] was being loaded.
I had played this game way back in high school but unfortunately, the game was incomplete. It was an open-world game where you can play as a protagonist or various side characters so I spent countless hours completing several routes. But now that the game was completed and was still on the trending list, I wanted to relive my high school days for a bit.
I loaded the game on my computer. The first thing that caught my eye was the wide variety of customization you could do to your character.
First, I set the character's gender as male. Though it would be fun to play as a female character, I still gave up on the thought for my first playthrough.
Then, set the height to 5'3''.
Hair color black. Let the eyes be of beautiful violet color. A gender-neutral face both beautiful and handsome. I customized the body to be of a slender frame. Skin color, let's go with pale.
Now the age, let's set it as 1000 years old just for shit and giggles.
I looked at the character I had created seeing it was to my liking. Okay, now the name.
The first name that came to my mind was Bob.
Hmm...I think I have been poisoned by the various webnovels that keep their protagonist's name as Bob.
I shake my head to think of another name.
Hmm...
I can't think of any names. So, I go to google and search for some names. After, 20 minutes of struggle, I finally choose a name. Bai Yu it is.
As I completed the character, I click next.
A pop-up text appeared in the field of my vision.
"Spin the wheel to choose your spiritual root."
From my previous playthrough, I knew that it meant cultivation talent. So, I pressed start and the golden wheel spun and finally stopped on a red spot.
"Congratulations! You have obtained a Top-grade spiritual root."
Looking at the message, I was quite happy. In my previous playthrough, I only had a mid-grade spiritual root and it made the playthrough significantly harder.
I was going to click finish when another text popped up.
"As a welcome gift, Please spin the wheel to select a special talent."
I was quite surprised since in the incomplete version of the game there was no such thing. But I just took it as a newbie gift and clicked spin.
The giant golden wheel spun and stopped on a golden spot and an outline of an eye can be seen from it.
"Congratulations! You have obtained a unique talent, Insight."
I nodded and felt that this talent must be good since it was placed in a golden spot.
After finally an hour of initial customizations, I clicked on the finish.
"Do you want to start the game?"
I clicked on yes but another pop-up text appeared.
"Do you want to start the game?"
I blinked at the double confirmation but didn't pay it much heed as I again clicked on yes.

A bright light shone from my computer that engulfed the whole room.
...
My eyelids are closed shut and my body feels heavy. I can feel the hard surface I am lying on. I try to make my blurry consciousness stay awake.
Argh...
I finally opened my dreary eyes. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust to the light.
Despite the protest of my body, I sit up.
I was in a room but it was not my room.
Why?... The room was quite simple and there were no wallpapers that I had previously had in my room. The floor was made of real wood. And my prized katana was missing.
"How.."?!
My voice."Hello." It was clear and high, not like my usual hoarse voice.
My hands were different. My hair was also long. What the hell is going on?!
I stood up with haste and walked to the lone window in the room to see outside.
...
An unknown world. The street was bustling with people. I could occasionally see a carriage. A vehicle that is quite outdated. Everyone was wearing traditional Chinese clothes and murmured words that sounded distinctly Chinese. Where am I?!
I panicked a bit and saw a mirror hanging on the wall. The figure reflected in the mirror was eerily similar to the character I had customized in a game...My phone.
I searched for my phone but found nothing.
Finally, I set my sight on the old bookshelf. There were some old tattered books. Thankfully, I had studied Chinese and was able to read the books.
I picked the first book and looked at the title, "Collection of famous poems."
Not this...
"101 tricks to woo a girl"
Why is this book here?
"The tales of the Swordsman of Flower"
A fantasy?
Finally, I looked at the last book.
"Azure World"
I paused for a bit. The continent where the game took place was also called the Azure World. It is just a coincidence, right?
I took the book and sat on the bed and started reading the book. The reading speed cultivated by reading hundreds of novels made me able to finish the book in an hour.
After finishing the book, I sighed.
Though I had already suspected it looking at the mirror, I had transmigrated into the game I was playing. Most of the things matched the description that was in the game.
I finally fell onto the bed and now only one thing plagued my mind.
...
..
"So What am I supposed to do now?"
