I Just Want to Be a Side Character in the Cultivation World

Abyss0depth
I died. Yeah, not in some grand battle or noble sacrifice—but by falling off a roller coaster. Next thing I know, I wake up in the body of a half-starved kid living in a moldy hut, with a so-called “legendary” physique that’s been nerfed by the heavens themselves. Surprise! I’m in a cultivation world now. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I hear it: [Ding! The Strongest Choice System has been bound to the host.] Great. A system. But instead of giving me power-ups, it hits me with choices—each one more ridiculous than the last. Option 1: Become the Protagonist. Get random plot armor, ancient legacies, fairy waifus… and a weekly assassination attempt. Option 2: Become the Villain. Cool monologues and evil laughs guaranteed. So is getting defeated by some random hero with gold fingers. Option 3: Walk away. Forge your own path. Stay under the radar, grow stronger in secret, and let all those walking clichés kill each other off. Guess which one I picked? Now, with the Innate Sacred Dao Fetus Physique, no fate, no drama, and no rules holding me back, I plan to live quietly, grow obscenely strong, and avoid trouble. ...Too bad this world doesn’t leave people like me alone for long. Watch out, cultivation world. Su Chen isn't playing by the script anymore.

The Black Cloud Sword: The Rise of Do-Hyun

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld
