Restarting After Deleting My Account

Lin Zhusheng is a dedicated gamer who has spent half a year maxing out his account in the virtual reality game "Fusheng," an ancient-style fantasy MMORPG known for its high freedom and complex favorability system. Upon completing all achievements, he finds himself bored and decides to start a new account. While creating the new character, a system error occurs, and he is unexpectedly transported into the game world as a servant disciple at the Tianzong sect. He is accompanied by a small black cat named Snowball, who serves as his exclusive newbie guide from the Time and Space Management Bureau. Lin Zhusheng learns that he cannot return to his original life and must survive in this cultivation world. His initial challenge involves adapting to his new physical body, which has different stamina limits and requirements than his gaming avatar. He quickly discovers that his character is a lazy, underperforming disciple who is on the verge of being expelled if he fails to pass the root bone test within two years.

Lin Zhusheng’s primary goal becomes surviving and advancing within the sect to avoid expulsion. He accepts a daily task to collect one hundred Lingxu Grass within six days. During his first foray into the woods, he encounters a red snake, a low-level monster. Instead of fleeing, he is motivated by the potential reward of gold coins and engages in a chaotic battle, eventually defeating the creature through sheer luck and persistence. Later, while searching for more grass, he encounters a massive red snake demon, a boss-level threat far beyond his capabilities. Just as he faces certain death, he is rescued by Wen Baizhou, a talented inner sect disciple known as Ling Xu Jun. Wen Baizhou effortlessly defeats the demon with a single sword strike. Lin Zhusheng, despite being terrified, is more distressed about the grass he had carefully protected being crushed by the demon’s body. Wen Baizhou reassures him that the medicinal parts are still usable and allows Lin Zhusheng to claim the credit and rewards for the kill.

After returning the demon corpse and completing his task, Lin Zhusheng gains favorability points with Manager Meng and receives a reward bag containing silver coins and new clothes. He also learns that he must attend classes at the sect’s academy to accumulate the required study hours for promotion. At the academy, he meets Song Ming, another servant disciple who is popular but struggles with the rules preventing him from advancing. Lin Zhusheng forms a casual friendship with Song Ming, sharing food and engaging in lighthearted conversation while auditing classes. He discovers that he has a side quest to help Song Ming become an outer sect disciple within fourteen days, offering a rare orange-grade stamina recovery bracelet as a reward. Lin Zhusheng decides to take on this challenge, recognizing the value of the reward and the potential benefits of having a well-connected ally.

Lin Zhusheng begins to adapt to his new life, balancing his studies, tasks, and social interactions. He takes on a part-time job chopping trees to earn extra money and to gather wood for crafting storage boxes. His proactive approach to work and his unique personality attract attention from his peers. He continues to build his favorability with various NPCs, including the registrar and the academy teacher, by being polite and helpful. Despite the dangers and challenges of the cultivation world, Lin Zhusheng maintains a pragmatic and somewhat humorous outlook, focusing on survival and advancement. His journey in Tianzong is just beginning, and he must navigate the complex social hierarchy and rigorous training requirements to secure his place in the sect.

As the days pass, Lin Zhusheng becomes more integrated into the sect’s daily routines. He continues to study diligently, hoping to pass the upcoming root bone test. His friendship with Song Ming deepens, and he actively seeks ways to assist his new friend in overcoming the obstacles that have stalled his progress. Lin Zhusheng’s experience as a veteran gamer gives him a strategic advantage, allowing him to approach problems with a level of foresight and efficiency that others lack. He remains focused on his goals, determined to rise through the ranks and uncover the secrets of the Fusheng world. The story follows his gradual transformation from a confused newcomer to a capable disciple, setting the stage for further adventures and challenges in the cultivation realm.
