Chapter 3 - Awakenings

As the morning sun peeked through the curtains of Shiro's dorm room, he slowly opened his eyes. The events of the previous day came flooding back to him, and his mind immediately turned to the strange chat group he had joined. With a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, he reached for his laptop and opened the chat window.

The group was still abuzz with activity, and Shiro's eyes widened as he read through the messages. The fantastical conversations about cultivation, alchemy, and secret realms seemed even more surreal in the light of day. He couldn't believe that such a group existed, and yet here he was, a part of it.

As he scrolled through the messages, he noticed that the group members were still speculating about him. "Shan Ya Li Li Da." He pondered the name, wondering how he had ended up with such an unusual moniker. It was as if he had stepped into a parallel universe where the impossible was possible.

Suddenly, a message popped up from Yellow Mountain True Immortal. "New fellow, finally awake? Welcome to our group. We are all cultivators on a journey of enlightenment. Hope you can join our discussions." Shiro stared at the message, his mind racing. He didn't know what to make of this strange world he had stumbled upon.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to respond. "Hello everyone. I'm not sure what's going on here. This all seems very…strange." His message was met with a flurry of responses from the group members.

Mad Knife San Lang was the first to reply. "Strange? Ha! This is the world of cultivators. You'll soon get used to it." His words were brimming with confidence, as if he had long ago accepted this extraordinary reality.

Su Shi Aqi added, "Yes, newcomer. There's a whole world of magic and power waiting for you. Are you ready to embark on an extraordinary journey?" His enthusiasm was infectious, and Shiro couldn't help but be intrigued.

Beihe Sanren chimed in with a more measured response. "Take your time, young one. This world is not for the faint of heart. But if you are willing to learn, there is much to discover." His words were like a wise mentor, guiding Shiro on this unfamiliar path.

As Shiro read through the responses, he felt a sense of wonder and confusion. Could this really be real? Or was it all just a wild fantasy? But there was something about the passion and conviction in the group members' words that made him want to explore further.

With a deep breath, he decided to ask some questions. "What exactly is cultivation? And how do you all develop these superhuman abilities?" His curiosity was piqued, and he was eager to understand this strange new world.

The group members eagerly began to explain, sharing their experiences and knowledge. As Shiro listened, his mind was opened to a world he had never known existed. A world of magic, power, and endless possibilities.
