Art finds himself thrust into a game world—not as a side character or chosen hero, but as an unexpected mentor guiding the true protagonist. Armed with fragmented memories and facing an encroaching darkness, he must master his new role to ensure both his survival and the world's salvation. As his students like Valerie unlock profound insights and Trish masters legendary techniques under his tutelage, Art discovers that his disciples' power gains may be the key to confronting the approaching catastrophe. Navigating between cultivation advancement and mentorship duties, he learns that sometimes the mentor's path matters more than the protagonist's journey.
