A Mortal Among Immortals

Simon is transported to the Journey to the West world. Three years later, he's king of Queensgate and unlocks a system, only to find it rewards mundane life skills. When the Pilgrimage Cataclysm hits, the Bodhisattva orders him to help Gareth Abbott survive. Humiliated, Simon cooks a meal, which somehow turns ordinary objects into magical powers. Even schoolbooks hide top-tier cultivation secrets. A mortal just trying to survive, but the world won't let him.
