" Where am I? Didn't I die to that serial killer? The writing seems like Chinese, am I in China? I guess I should ask around. Excuse me, do you speak English?"
" Yes, I do. Is there anything I can help you with?", says a stranger.
" Uh, yes. I am sort of lost right now, and I don't exactly know how to speak Chinese. Is there like a job I can find where I don't need to know Chinese?"
" Yes, there are many jobs here that you can do that doesn't require you to know English. In fact currently I am looking for a tutor who can speak fluently in English for my son. Do you want to be son's tutor? I will pay you a lot, as long as he shows signs of improvement.", said the stranger.
" Sure. My name is Zheng He. What's your name?"
" My name is Xia Fang. "You have a Chinese name and you look like a typical Chinese. But then why can't you speak Chinese?", said Xia Fang.
" I wasn't born here. I was born in New York. Though my parents were both Chinese I didn't really want to learn Chinese because everyone around me always spoke English and I didn't feel like I needed to know Chinese. My parents didn't mind so I ended up not learning it."
" Oh, I see. Do you currently have a place where you can stay?", said, Xia Fang.
" No. I don't have a place to stay currently. Though I'm going to look for one today."
" How about you stay in my house. Don't worry it's free. All I ask of you is to spend more time teaching my son English.", said Xia Fang.

" Sure. Thank you so much! It would've been so hard looking for a place to stay without knowing Chinese."
" No problem at all. How about I show you the way to my house.", said Xia Fang.
" Sure, let's go."
...
" Were here. You will be living in the blue room on the first floor. The room's practically empty. The only things in the room are a bed and an old tv. " said, Xia Fang.
" You have such a nice house and my room's so big as well. It's so kind of you to let me stay here."
" It's nothing. And if you need anything just go upstairs and knock on the door. I'll be there most of the time. And if I'm not there you can just tell my wife. How about you relax for now. We'll talk more about my son's lessons in the evening." said, Xia Fang.
" Ok, sure. I should be dead right now. Yet I am in China right now. Something really weird is going on right now."
System," Hello. You may be wondering what I am. I am the System. I will help you rise to become the most feared person in this universe. And you might be wondering whether or not you are hearing things. No, you are not. Only you are able to hear me."
" What are you? And why will you help me? And what do you mean by saying that you would help me become the most feared person in this universe?"
System," One question at a time, please. Like I said I am the System. I will help you because you are my master and I don't know you're my master either.. And my job is to help you become the most feared man in the universe. I will help you become a being that every evil being in this universe is scared of."

" Ok. So how are you going to help me?"
System, " First of all I will help you to unlock your cultivation talent. Then I will help you rise to the peak of cultivation."
" Ok. But I how can I trust you about this so-called 'cultivation' thing?"
System," I have unlocked your cultivation talent."
" So what is my 'cultivation' talent?"
System," So far you're cultivation talent is F-Grade. The different cultivation talents are SSS-Grade, SS-Grade, S-Grade, A-Grade, B-Grade, C-Grade, D-grade, E-Grade, F-Grade. SSS-Grade is the highest while F-Grade is the lowest."
" You're kidding me, right? How is my talent that bad? You must've made a mistake. How about you check again."
System," Nope. Your talent is indeed only F-Grade. But this is to be expected. Your parents weren't cultivators so you have the average cultivation talent just like everybody else."
" Ok, whatever. But what does cultivation talent do?"
System, " The higher you're cultivation talent, the faster you can reach the next cultivation state."
" Oh, so what's my current cultivation?"
System," You currently do not have a cultivation as you are in a planet where cultivation is sealed. If you wish to cultivate then you will have to move to a different planet that doesn't seal one's cultivation."
" Ok. But how do I move to a different planet?"
System," I will be able to teleport you to the nearest planet. But I do not know if that planet block's your cultivation or not. Also, it will take me 3 days to get ready."
" Ok. So, until then I guess I should just try to live a normal life."

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
