Synopsis
Song Shuhang gets pulled into a chat group one day, surrounded by seniors who are way too into the whole cultivator thing. Everyone's got their "Fellow Daoist" greetings down pat, and the titles fly around—Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, whatever. Even the group founder's runaway pet gets called a "monster dog." They spend their time discussing pill-making, digging through old tombs, swapping tips on cultivation methods. The whole thing reads like a bunch of people roleplaying way too hard.
Except after hanging around long enough, Song Shuhang starts to realize something doesn't add up.
