Unorthodox

A modern-day IT worker and casual Pencak Silat practitioner, Arman, dies from overworking (and too much coffee) only to awaken in a cultivation world. With no prestigious bloodline, no cheat-like system, and no overpowered master, he must carve his own path in a world where power reigns supreme. But fate grants him something unusual—his Spiritual Root takes the form of a Wooden Mask, a mysterious artifact that allows him to change forms. Each mask form grants him unique abilities: the Tiger Form enhances his raw strength, the Wolf Form makes his movements swift and precise, and many more yet to be unlocked. Thrust into Cloudsong Sect, he must climb from the bottom ranks, using his unorthodox fighting style, quick wit, and genre awareness to survive rival disciples, deadly tournaments, and the hidden dangers lurking in the world. But as he grows stronger, he catches the attention of the Watchers, a shadowy organization that manipulates cultivators like pieces on a chessboard. They aren’t just interested in him—they are testing him, waiting to see what he will become. Armed with Silat-infused cultivation techniques, a Wooden Mask that evolves with him, and an ever-growing list of people who either want to challenge or recruit him, he must navigate sect rivalries, spirit beasts, legendary treasures, and ancient secrets—all while keeping his sense of humor intact. One thing is certain: In a world ruled by swords and Qi, the masked warrior will forge his own legend.

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

The kingdom’s mages and wizards prepare with great care, knowing that the fate of their people hangs in the balance. But when the summoning portal opens, the hero they get isn’t exactly what they had in mind.

While the terrified villains struggle to predict his next move, the kingdom’s leaders question how someone so unqualified can be their salvation. The Princess, Seraphina, can’t decide if Kyle is a blessing or a disaster, but there’s one thing everyone can agree on: Kyle’s completely unorthodox methods are the only thing standing between Eldoria and the Demon King.

If he can survive long enough to figure out what’s going on, he just might. It’s a wild ride filled with absurd humor, epic battles, and the most unorthodox hero the world has ever known.

Internally, computers process all information as binary numerals - expressions using only 0 and 1. For instance, the binary 00, 01, 10 and 11 correspond to the decimal values 0, 1, 2 and 3.  Why restrict to 0 and 1? Because electrical signals can only input and output those. More accurately, 0 and 1 are abstractions for humans. The system recognizes high/low voltage differentials as ON/OFF states instead. For example, 5V = ON, 0V = OFF. 

In the heart of Vienna, where the echoes of classical melodies danced through the air, lived a modern musician named Benjamin O'Connor. Benjamin was a prodigious talent in the contemporary music scene, seamlessly blending electronic beats with soulful melodies. Little did he know that his life was about to take an extraordinary turn. One evening, as Benjamin prepared for a groundbreaking performance in the vibrant city, a mysterious force enveloped him. Colors twisted and sounds blurred, transporting him through the fabric of time. Suddenly, he found himself in an era untouched by synthesizers and digital harmonies. It was the year 1741, the time when Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire was born. Confused and disoriented, Benjamin took in the unfamiliar surroundings. The air was filled with the scent of horse-drawn carriages, and the cobblestone streets echoed with the clatter of footsteps in traditional attire. The towering structures of Vienna looked different, as if frozen in a historical painting. As Benjamin grappled with the reality of his situation, he soon realized that he was no longer in the 21st century. Panic and awe intertwined within him, but his musician's spirit prevailed. Rather than succumbing to the strangeness of the past, he saw an opportunity to explore a world where musical notes were written with quills, not keyboards. In the midst of this historical epoch, Benjamin navigated the winding alleys and grand palaces of Vienna, eager to understand the musical landscape of the 18th century. He discovered the Baroque elegance of orchestral compositions and the intricate craftsmanship of harpsichords. The streets resonated with the melodies of Mozart and Haydn, composers who were yet to be born in his original timeline. Joseph II, the future ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, was still a child, oblivious to the visitor from another time. Benjamin observed the society of the period, marveling at the cultural richness and the strict etiquette that governed daily life. As he adapted to the customs of the era, he became a musical sojourner, merging his avant-garde sensibilities with the classical tapestry of the past. Word of the mysterious musician spread through Vienna like wildfire. Aristocrats and commoners alike flocked to witness Benjamin's unorthodox performances, where the clash of eras created a symphony that transcended time itself. His music became a bridge between epochs, a testament to the timeless power of artistic expression. As Benjamin immersed himself in this unfamiliar world, he also grappled with the challenges of existing in a time where his very existence defied explanation. Yet, through the challenges, he found unexpected allies among the musicians and patrons who recognized the magic in his music. Little did Benjamin know that his journey through time would not only leave an indelible mark on the pages of history but also reshape his own understanding of music and humanity. In the crucible of the past, a modern musician discovered that the language of melody could transcend the boundaries of time, connecting hearts across centuries.
