Trying to find a story I stared years ago
I've read several wuxia now and have started several more, but I cannot find this one that stuck out as pretty different to me. Here's what I remember:
At the start the MC is basically normal human, but he tells stories about how he's the *something* Lord reincarnated/reborn/Etc. Then demons/monsters attack and he and the other kid with him are clearly going to die but a quest thing pops up and freezes time. The quest is to survive or something and he just dies over and over until he insults the other kid so much that the monster lets them both live.
Later he gets "crab step" or something ridiculous that he practices so much it turns out to be a crazy OP footwork technique. He also has an agreement/bet with a goddess or some powerful woman while being surrounded by monsters.
He continues getting quests that require him to do crazy stuff sometimes but his weird stories actually help because it gives him reasons to give people for what he's doing. Some quests reset to the point he got them if he fails/dies but some don't. Time freezes when he gets a quest
I don't really remember what it was but there was some sort of organization that was also managing all the fighters.
Any help finding this would be appreciated
