《Strongest Protagonist's Aura》Vol1 Chapter 3 - Can't Avoid It Even If You're a Cultivator

Welp, yup. Did I just see who I thought I just saw? Probably. So, let's not leave this room until it's dark or something. Might even need to sneak out. She's a dangerous one for sure.
Well, let's just stay in my room and cultivate a bit before I head out to start my plan at night. System.

Aii~ whenever I take a look at that trifling Red Dan level 1, I just want to cry. Pretty much even a commoner would have that much strength. And that pitiful amount of Qi I can use, just giving a commoner a scare used it all up. Of course the regen rate is also slow because I'm at a low level. I've got a long way to go.
There are like 10 levels per Dan realm, or basically each color of the Dan. Then, a very simple way to color code on each person's Qi would tell you there realm. Starting from Red, then in increasing strength: Orange, Yellow , Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Brown, Gold, then Cyan as the highest. Of course, the higher the realm, the harder it is to cultivate. How strong are each level? Well we can say that Orange Dan can brawl with a group of commoners, Yellow can bash in a mass of commoners, Green can fight an small brigade of common soldiers, Blue can fight a normal group of Green Dan, and so on.

Then, my Master that could fight an army of Violet and some Brown Dans was a Gold Dan. As for that "righteous" grandmaster b*st**d, well he's only a trifling Indigo Dan 16 years ago when the Xiong Emperor was Brown Dan according to Sis Mei's info. So that makes sense-NOT. Sorry but that Fan guy ain't no protagonist so what he doing cross-killing over two levels, NOT happening.
Well, head he's at the peak of Violet Dan nowadays according to the last piece of info I got from Sis Mei. Then there are the so called Gods, I'm still not sure what realm they are at because there are no records back at my sis's place on the cultivation of the Gods, but I heard it was above Cyan, and that means bad news for me.
Although, I'm happy still because my path is already pretty much paved for a smooth ride. I don't know where my sis got this technique, but it's a rainbow level cultivation manual and that pretty much means that I can cultivate all the way up to Cyan with it. I don't even know what's up with the naming sense because brown, golden, and cyan aren't even part of the rainbow, but I guess in this world, rainbow is just all the possible colors of Qi that a cultivator can have. As for why my cultivation technique is called colorless, well it's OP, as one can easily see. So, it's gotta be out of the norm. Since rainbow is the default cultivation, we gotta go colorless in order to beat everyone else.
Makes sense. That's how it goes in other novels if I remember.
[Colorless Emperor's Rainbow Mountain] {1%}
The progress of this ability can be increased through absorbing sufficient Qi from external sources. Increasing amount of Qi is required for each level and will be displayed here. This technique can allow one to cultivate all the way up to cyan level. Every percent cultivated into this technique grants the same amount of physical body regeneration rate and can be stacked on top of other body regeneration techniques. Every 10% of cultivation would unlock the ability to summon a colored crushing mountain to crush the host's enemies. An additional effect of this technique is that host's Qi would be default colorless and can be changed to any color for a limited time depending on the amount of Qi used (1 Qi per second)

Acquired Qi : 13/1000
Summon-able Mountains : None
Definitely almost as OP as one can get. Plus that colorless cheat not only let me pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, it also let me pretend to be the tiger to eat the pig. Now I've got another thing that anyone would come for my life for besides the fact that I am that one b**t**d that everyone wants to kill. Though, that would only happen if they discover it, but since it's colorless, it'll be even harder to for others figure my strength out than of those evil cultivators that have black Qi. Since evil cultivators have black Qi at pretty much all levels, it would be difficult for others to judge their strength, but unfortunately, there does exist instruments to check strength like a radar. It's pretty common, and lots of people carry them. I wish those didn't exist, because even my colorless Qi's strength can be determined.
So why can't we find all the evil cultivators still? Well that's because those instrument only works if an individual's Qi comes out of their body, basically when it's being used. Other times, radar can stalk a person all day and will get no feedback. Urgg, thinking nonsense too much, time to cultivate...
---Night time---
I'm not a genius unfortunately. About 5 hours of cultivating...sheesh, did not get me far. System, showed me the acquired Qi of my Colorless Qi.
[Acquired Qi : 67/1000]
This might nearly a month to get to the next level. Then the future levels, I might just die before I even reach Brown Dan, let alone Gold or Cyan. *sigh* Cultivation and getting stronger is apparently not the most trustworthy way to solve problems. Kids, don't listen when League of Legends champ Katarina says that "Violence Solves Everything" because obviously, it doesn't because if you're not strong enough and you use violence, welp. Farewell mi amigo.
Alright, time to go and use my brain to solve my problem. Bout the perfect time to sneak around. Though it's cliche, but sorry, I'm not strong enough like those super OP MCs from those other novels who bravely struts out to solve their problems in plain daylight for all to see. Instead of showing off, I think I will be squashed to meat paste simply by the stampede of commoners that have been fooled by the lies of the upper divs.
Although I'm a cultivator, I'm obviously not strong enough to leap off of multiple floor buildings yet. So, it's unavoidable that I must take drastic measures: I can still ... sneak out through the main doorway. Sneak up to where the innkeeper keeps his keys. Key acquired, man no safety locks these days, eh-probably because I caused him to faint earlier. Now, just got to be very...very caref-
"What are you doing?" an icy voice sounded right behind me.
Great. Busted already. And who's the officer on duty today? Ahah! Of course it's Miss Beauty that I paid my respects to at the gateway to the city. Hahaha~ great. I a dead piece of s***.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Just a Game
“A great corruption is spreading. The people cry out for a savior. For a hero. For YOU! Come join the fight, as the chosen of World Tree! Receive the blessings of the gods, battle fierce monsters, and become the hero you were meant to be, in Arcanum Online!” It was the cheesiest commercial Ethan had ever heard, but the gameplay was enough to draw him - and thousands of others - to the fantasy world of Lazuros. It’s the sort of place that can really draw you in - a huge open world, a deep character customization system, and a feature that makes time pass slower inside the game, extending your limited playtime! It was a little strange, though. As if it was a bit too realistic for a game of swords and sorcery. The NPC’s seemed almost alive, most quests didn’t reset and monsters respawned slowly. Still, for all it’s quirks, it was a good game! Just a game. And nothing more. …right?
