Bureaucratic Cultivator

Himari_Kino
Nine-to-Five Cultivator follows the story of Xu Liang, a burnt-out corporate worker who unexpectedly wakes up in a fantastical world of immortal cultivators—not as a heroic warrior, but as an underappreciated office clerk in the Cultivation Administration Bureau. Instead of ascending to greatness through martial prowess or mystical power, Xu Liang must navigate a surreal maze of celestial paperwork, spiritual audits, and bureaucratic duels. Armed with nothing but his spreadsheet-sharpened instincts, a hidden sword, and a quiet determination, Xu Liang faces absurd challenges that mirror the politics and dysfunction of his old office life—only now with magical consequences. As he uncovers a growing conspiracy within the Bureau involving forged documents, stolen artifacts, and covert factions, Xu Liang finds himself at the heart of a power struggle that could destabilize the entire immortal hierarchy. A wry, satirical cultivation tale about power, protocol, and surviving paperwork hell, Nine-to-Five Cultivator proves that even in a world of immortals, the pen (and an impeccably filed form) may be mightier than the sword.
