Prologue: The Unassuming Transmigrator
Jemark C. Pausal—once a quiet, unremarkable Filipino in his old world where he was never the center of attention—woke up in a body so frail he could barely lift his own arms. The air here hummed with a strange energy he'd later learn was called spiritual essence, and his new world followed the path of cultivation: 18 stages split into Mortal, Immortal, God, and Dao realms.
His base stats were abysmal by any standard:
- Strength (STR): 0.1
- Dexterity (DEX): 0.1
- Constitution (CON): 0.1
- Intelligence (INT): 0.1
- Focus (FOC): 0.1
- Wisdom (WIS): 0.1
- Perception (PER): 0.1
- Charisma (CHA): 10 (average appearance; only shifts to handsome when using his transformed forms—a quirk he attributes to his rebirth)
Though he possessed three innate abilities—Analysis & Comprehension, Regeneration (with sealed forms: Human God [100× base stats], Spirit God [100×], God of the Gods [infinite growth], plus passive 0.00000001 stat gain per second and 1% exercise multiplier), and Absolute Creation—he chose to hide them all. His power, One in All, could match a million points of any other energy type, but he was determined to grow using only the world's native cultivation systems.
Stumbling into a nearby village, he spotted a cultivator recruiting disciples. With his usual gentle demeanor, he approached and asked simply: "Excuse me, can I join your sect?"
The recruiter—who was in fact the sect leader himself—saw beyond Jemark's low apparent aptitude to the purity of his soul. The sect, known for its kindness to mortals, assigned him to manage and organize all sect techniques—a role that let him quietly analyze every cultivation method in their archives using his hidden ability.
Soon after, a heaven-defying talent joined the sect: the leader's direct disciple, whom Jemark came to call Senior Sister. With her unparalleled luck and his behind-the-scenes optimization of sect techniques, the once-weak sect began its steady climb toward greatness. Only the leader, elders, and Senior Sister knew of Jemark's true worth—he preferred to stay low-key, letting others take the spotlight as he laid the foundation for their dream of becoming the world's number one sect.
