[character name: Eternal]
This was the name he chose he wanted to be eternal, he has always wanted to be eternal that's why he stayed when his server became dead, cultivators only strive for immortality thats why we cultivate either being pure delusional and coping he truly believed it even knowing it was a game world but who can blame Alex all the real world did was give him pain he had not received a single ounce of warmth from it but in that world where he spent thousands of years he felt warmth and belonging maybe this is the true reason why he stayed he just wanted to belong…
"If I pick default on customization I'll look way too basic luckily no one does it so I guess I'll be unique let's just make the face more handsome and we can start" said Alex as he looked at his character model up and down he didn't care that it looked basic as he was prepared to cash out as soon as he entered the game after he was done customizing he was suddenly brought to a space below him were a hundred stars {please choose your server} as these words hover in front of him the various stars got numbers to them alex already thought about the server he will choose he even told his two friends to start there so he chose server 50 not because he was familiar or because someone important was in there he just felt like 50 was a perfect start yes that's right alex only chose 50 because of his gut feeling
As he chose server 50 everything went black for a second and like a world opening up to him he appeared in a square quickly rising his hand to adjust his eyes to this sudden sunlight soon he was looking around, the entire world was shocking from the square he came in from he could see rising pavilions and towers all around the air was thick it took some time to steady his breath before he could even continue to marvel at the worlds beauty a pop up appeared in front of him {go to Madam Li to learn how to cultivate} very quickly a big exclamation mark appeared to the back of the square making it impossible to miss not like Alex would get lost, as he made his way to the back Alex passed by a lot of players atleast 200 before he got infront of madam Li who was surrounded by players in the lotus position cultivating "Mortal do you want to walk the path of cultivation?" Said madam li as he got close to her this was similar to the dialogue he heard when he started playing in his last life "yes" said Alex as a pop up came
{choose your path
Martial cultivator: a cultivation path focused on martial arts and the body
Immortal cultivator: a cultivation path focused on the elements you can wield the elements}
Seeing his options alex just smirked as he picked martial cultivator this was his last path before and it will be today as he picked his path he was forced to sit in the lotus position as the game does the rest he could feel his well he doesn't know what it is as the game categorizes it as xp nothing more nothing less a lot of people in his previous life called it chi or qi but he just called it energy or xp very quickly he felt stronger opening his eyes he sees a pop up saying {congratulations you are now at the novice stage} seeing that he officially became a cultivator he couldn't help but smile he quickly found stores that he wanted on the map started walking towards there as fast as he could this next part will detate his future
As Alex appeared infront of a building he couldn't help but smile he almost forgot how it feels to teleport the entire city offers free teleportation services everywhere as it's too big to cross even with thousands of years luckily you can also teleport to your abode everyone gets for free or it will take a life time to even cultivate, as Alex walked in the store that's literally called "store" he couldn't help but smile as it was just like his last life extremely bare with only a counter as he walked to the counter a screen popped up infront of him full off in game purchases yes this game actually had in game purchases and rewards that came with it but it was extremely free to play favorable as even if your free to play you have chances to catch up and beat those whales (a term for heavy spenders)
