LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: The Mad System Strikes Again:
“Rebellious disciple! Don’t!”
At the peak of a snow-covered mountain, a trace of regret flashed through Ning Jie’s eyes, but he still resolutely pushed the breathtakingly beautiful woman off the cliff!
“Sorry, Master, I had no choice!”
As the cold western wind howled, the remorse on Ning Jie’s face gradually faded, replaced by anticipation!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully approaching all the female leads of this world and eliminating them!]
[Calculating rewards…]
[The passage back to Blue Star is opening…]
A classic villainous grin spread across Ning Jie’s face as he looked around one last time, wanting to etch this final scene into his memory. He waited in eager anticipation.
He was not from this world—he came from Blue Star!
In his previous life, Ning Jie was an art student who failed his entrance exams. To make ends meet, he became a manga artist, primarily creating hot-blooded anime-style comics.
Titles like Secretive Lessons, The Troubled Home Tutor, Fitness Coach, Boarding Diary, Beautiful New World, Gorgeous Sister…
Just when he was starting to gain some recognition in this niche, he was invited by the authorities for a “friendly chat.” Fortunately, his attitude was cooperative, and he was only detained for fifteen days.
After his release, he decided to turn over a new leaf and took on the job of adapting a cultivation novel into a comic.
The novel was called Unorthodox Cultivation—a typical story of a trash-tier young master who, with the help of a mysterious expert, embarked on a journey of cultivation, collecting women along the way, and eventually ascending to the heavens.
The plot wasn’t overly complicated. Ning Jie finished the adaptation in three months.
On the day he completed it, he decided to reward himself with a celebration at a club.
But before he could enjoy himself, he suddenly found himself transmigrated into the very cultivation comic he had drawn! Even more ridiculously, his identity turned out to be the biggest villain of the story!
To return to Blue Star, he had no choice but to bind himself to the “Destined Supreme Villain: Absolute Ruthlessness, Ultimate Mad Demon Killing Women to Prove the Dao 2.0” system and follow its mission—eliminate all female leads!
Now, after years of relentless effort, he had finally succeeded!
According to the grand promises made by this insane system, the rewards for completing all tasks were extremely generous!
The most tempting part? He could retain all the abilities and cultivation he had gained in this world!
In this world, cultivation realms were divided into:
First Glance Realm, Admiration Realm, Addiction Realm, Overnight Realm, All-Nighter Realm, Shock Realm, Sudden Death Realm, the legendary Burial Realm and Feast Realm!
The cultivation stages in this world were: Initial Glance, Interested Glance, Obsessive Glance, Staying Up Late, All-Nighter, Shock Stage, Sudden Death, and the legendary Entering the Grave and Attending the Funeral.
Wait, no, that’s wrong. Let’s redo it!
The actual cultivation levels were: Qi Nourishing, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Enlightenment, Dao Integration, and Transcendent Realm. Each level was further divided into nine sub-stages.
Each realm was further divided into nine minor-realms.
Currently, Ning Jie was at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Though in this world—where Core Formation Realm cultivators roamed like ants, and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were as common as dogs—his strength wasn’t considered impressive, but back on Blue Star, where everyone was just an ordinary mortal…
Tsk tsk, the thought alone excited him!
He had always believed it was better to be a dragon’s head rather than a phoenix’s tail!
Just as he was basking in his triumph, eagerly awaiting his return, the system’s voice suddenly turned urgent.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Due to excessive cruelty in the “killing women to prove the Dao” plotline, this world’s Heavenly Dao is displeased! System override has failed! System crash detected! Rebooting…]
[Host is about to be reborn!]
[Repeat: Host is about to be reborn!]
Ning Jie’s expression froze instantly, his mind buzzing!
Before he could even begin to curse, his vision darkened, and he passed out.
…
“Young Master, you’re pressing on my hair~”
A sultry voice, accompanied by warm breath, sounded beside his ear.
Ning Jie slowly opened his eyes.
His gaze landed on a room filled with red silk drapes, lotus-embroidered pillows, and the lingering scent of sandalwood. The entire setting exuded an ancient charm.
Pulling his arm free, Ning Jie sat up in a daze.
The softness and warmth he felt on his arm confirmed—this was not a dream.
This was the first day of his transmigration!
Damn it!
That insane system really rebooted him!
“Mm…”
The woman beside him stirred slightly. Peeking out from under the blanket, she gazed at Ning Jie with affectionate eyes, her voice laced with drowsy charm.
“Young Master Ning…”
Ning Jie didn’t respond. He simply stared blankly at the bronze mirror on the dressing table.
In its reflection, a handsome face stared back at him.
“You’ve got to be kidding me, you lunatic system! You actually rebooted me!?”
“I’m freaking done! After all the effort I put into eliminating those female leads, you’re telling me I have to start over!? Are you messing with me!?”
Ning Jie instantly went full rage mode, cursing out the system in his mind.
After all, every single female lead was a top-tier powerhouse. Getting close to them—let alone eliminating them—had been an immense challenge!
Especially his master, Qiu Yuebai, known as the Drunken Sword Immortal of the Tianyan Continent. She was a top-tier powerhouse whose strength was beyond measure—a literal combat ceiling!
Only through meticulous planning and careful execution had Ning Jie managed to eliminate her when she had lost her cultivation.
And now the system wants him to do it all over again!? Who in their right mind could accept this!?
[Host, please remain calm. The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, and the system has also been affected by the reboot.]
The system’s emotionless voice echoed in his mind.
Ning Jie snapped impatiently, “Don’t give me that nonsense! You lost to the Heavenly Dao, so why the hell should I take the fall for it!?”
“I don’t care—I want to go home!”
[Host, please calm down. Due to this unforeseen issue, the system has adjusted the mission parameters. This time, the difficulty has been lowered—you no longer need to eliminate the female leads!]
“What? If I’m not killing the female leads, then who am I killing? The male lead?”
Ning Jie had said it casually, but the system’s next words shocked him to his core.
[Correct. In this reboot, Host only needs to play the villain role and eliminate the male lead to complete the mission! Additionally, any actions that align with the villain persona will accumulate villain points, which can be exchanged for rare treasures!]
Wait… what?
It’s really making me kill the male lead!?
That guy was the Chosen Son of Heaven!
Ning Jie was stunned.
In his previous life, he had focused entirely on eliminating the female leads before they could meet the male lead. As a result, he had completely ignored Lin Bei, the male protagonist.
But Ning Jie knew exactly how overpowered Lin Bei was in the original novel.
This was a guy who, whenever he faced hardship, would awaken new abilities. Someone who could literally fall into a two-meter-deep pit and discover an ancient ruin!
Taking down such a Heaven’s favorite child wouldn’t be easy!
But then again…
The female leads were all insanely strong and difficult to kill.
But the male lead? There was only one!
It definitely couldn’t be harder than dealing with his powerhouse master, Qiu Yuebai!
If given a choice… of course, he’d rather kill the male lead!
Still, Ning Jie wasn’t about to let this crazy system off so easily.
“Fine. But I have conditions.”
[Host, please state your conditions.]
Ning Jie smirked.
“First, I want bigger mission rewards. Second, I want free allocation of talent points. And lastly—I want to return to Blue Star at the Transcendent Realm!”
The system went silent.
[Ding! Host’s request recorded. Processing…]
[Approved!]
Ning Jie froze.
“…Wait, what? Just like that?”
Something felt off… but whatever.
Suddenly, an even more intriguing thought crossed his mind.
“If my mission is to kill the male lead… does that mean I can do whatever I want with the female leads?”
[Theoretically, yes, Host.]
A wicked grin slowly spread across Ning Jie’s lips.
Do whatever I want?
I like the sound of that.
