A mechanical voice caused Zephyr Zinger to stumble, his entire being stunned into wide-eyed disbelief.

"What the fuck? Is it really gone?"
"Maybe transmigrate me back to Vermythys first, at least?"
"Damn! You dragged me to this weirdo place, and then just vanish like that? System!"
Zephyr roared frantically in his heart, but received no response.
"Motherfxxk! You're piece of useless garbage, AwfulOS!" Zephyr cursed outright.
Five years ago, he had transmigrated to this world and bound with a AllFullOS System. The name sounded incredibly badass, and Zephyr once thought he was destined for the peak of life.
However, the things this System taught him were all rather dumpy crappy stuff like literature, mathematics, chemistry, physics, poetry, and painting.
In the purpose of surviving in a new world. No choice, he had to grit his teeth and learn everything, thinking maybe he'll unlock something super badass after all these useless homework.
Zephyr had endured, until today, when he finally mastered everything the system offered and received grand titles: Saint of Poetry, Sage of Painting, Domainer of Chess, Divine Farmer, and countless others.
Then... the system ran away.
Just like that.
Back in his previous life world, these accomplishments might have meant something. But here? In what appeared to be a cultivation world?
Immortal cultivators flew across the sky regularly.
Rumors spoke of man-eating demons.
This was absolutely infuriating!
What good were these skills against demonic monsters? Was he supposed to reason with these man eating devil beasts?
Out of fear for his petty life, he'd deliberately chosen a secluded slope valley near a town, living self-sufficiently, terrified of being caught in crossfire between immortal masters and dying meaninglessly.
He'd harbored hope, after all. He had a this AllFullOS System.
Five years of endurance had been for this moment—waiting for the system to teach him cultivation, then soar to the heavens and become an immortal.
But despite his calculations and hardwork, the AllFullOS system had simply uninstalled after stuffing his head with useless knowledge.
What a fucking scammer!
He'd considered not relying on the AllFullOS system early on.
Upon first arriving, he'd sought out immortal sects to become a disciple, only to discover he had no spiritual roots. He'd be ordinary his entire life.
"Master, it is time for lunch," a dumb look robot walked from the kitchen, gesturing an invitation.
"Sigh... fine," Zephyr replied half-heartedly. He felt somewhat listless, but he wouldn't ill-treat himself, so he still walked back into the room.
The robot was a reward from the system after he'd mastered Physics. Initially, he'd thought it was excellent—having an artificial intelligent robot serve him. Now Zephyr wanted to cry. In a cultivation world, it was nothing but a piece of scrap metal.
His manor house was an asian style four-courtyard compound with pavilions, towers, streams, and bridges—a true feng shui treasure nestled in the mountains.
The manor itself was a reward after he'd mastered Architecture.
All his daily necessities were rewards from the system after completing various tasks. Combined with his Divine Farmer title, farming was effortless. He could be completely self-sufficient in isolation with excellent food.
"If it really comes to it, I'll just live out my life as a mortal peasant. At least the air and scenery here are much better than in my previous life, and I don't need to struggle to make a living. It's fine, it's fine." Zephyr comforted himself.
The only thing missing now was a girlfriend. All the immortal female cultivator must be stunning beautiful, but they'd never look at a lowlife mortal peasant like me.
Zephyr shook his head, content to fantasize.
He called toward the back yard: "Blackie, meal time!"
A black mongrel dog came bounding over, tongue wagging, eyes fixed expectantly on Zephyr.
"Such a glutton," Zephyr chuckled, quickly preparing Blackie's meal.
Blackie was a dog Zephyr encountered on this little mountain by chance years ago. At that time, it's just a tiny puppy on the verge of starvation, Zephyr took it in, and from then on, man and dog kept each other company.
Blackie was very well-behaved. When Zephyr practiced calligraphy or painting, it would watch quietly from the side, and it especially loved listening to Zephyr play the Harp.
Zephyr once felt that Blackie understood human nature. After all, it was a dog in the cultivation world hey.

YES!
A new tale is here. Stranded in the harmonious, but rule-filled domains of the righteous cultivator sects, Zephyr must use all his wit to survive as an ordinary mortal. Get ready for laughs, surprises, and a healthy dose of mayhem.
