On the city's plaza, in the stage in the middle of it, you can see a 21 years old man kneeling in front of a crowd with his head on a table meant for executions. There was a large man wielding a gigantic ax as big as him, ready to swing it towards his head.
"Guan Yu! You monster! Die like a scum you are!"
"You killed my family!"
"Hmph, I finally get to see this scum get killed in front of me."
"Mother, father, and my adorable little sister, you finally get your revenge."
"Kill him!!"
The crowd yelled wildly as they saw Guan Yu being brought to justice. But Guan Yu was ready for all this. He cannot deny that he felt good after killing all those people, but he knew, he will die someday. A gruesome or peaceful death, it is only his choice to make.
Guan Yu snorted inside his mind and thought with disdain, 'So what if I killed your close family and friends? In the end, your curses, and misery will only be nothing but a simple joy to me."
He turned his head little to look at his executioner. The last thing he saw was the executioner swinging his gigantic axe towards his neck.
With that, Guan Yu, the centuries' deadliest mass murderer, died with disdain towards the people shouting for his death.

The vast Heavenly Continent, spreads wide to all people. The inhabitants of this continent strive to live in a harsh condition with their weakness living inside of them... most of them are like this anyway. The Cultivators are the ruler of this continent, whether it may be the supply of food or the population of mortals living in this continent. They count it all.
With their mystical tools and their powers, they were able to do these impossible jobs.
Now, our story starts with a young man, the son of the city lord of this small city of Pinewood. He is currently... dead.
Killed by his little brother over jealousy, he died a miserable death as 3 wolves walk slowly towards him while licking their mouths menacingly.
He was thrown in the forest near their city by his brother for the beasts there to feast on him.
As one of the wolves was about to bite the neck of the young man's corpse, his right-hand shots up towards the wolf's neck and with inhuman strength, he cracked it with ease. The wolf fell on the ground with its tongue outside of its mouth. The wolf was dead.
The young man rose up quickly with his vigilance up. His long black hair sways as the wind blows it, his tattered golden black robe was pushed back, pale skin that rivals that of a beautiful woman, and his blue eyes glowed menacingly at the wolves.
The other two wolves back off when they saw one of them died with a single blow. Their instincts told them that this human can kill them easily. With hesitations in their eyes, they slowly walk away into the dark forest before disappearing entirely.
The young man suddenly clutches his head with both of his hands and he knelt down because of the pain he is feeling right now. Memories he did not know before flooded his brain.
Now, he finally gets it.
He slowly stood up and spoke, "So, I've been transmigrated? Hahaha, " He laughed coarsely.
"What kind of sick joke did the heavens did to me now? Putting me here inside this teen's body, but not only that, I'm inside a world that has cultivation in it! Immortals, demonic beasts, arrogant young masters, you name it!" He said while feeling the boiling exhilaration inside him.
He spreads his arms wide open and yelled, "Finally! I can kill with no restrictions in this world! I Am Free!"
But suddenly, an emotionless robotic voice sounded inside his head.
"Ding!: Heroic System booting up..."
"Eh? A system? Now that is certainly surprising. Hmm, but I have some problems with the name, why is it heroic? Not murderer?" Guan Yu was bewildered.
A transparent screen appeared in front of him.
"Ding!: Functions:
1. Help people to gain Saving Points from the system. The more dangerous the situation, the more you can gain SP points.
2. You can spend SP points to level up either this (Physical Strength) or this (Qi Energy).
More will come as you grow stronger, keep it up. By the way, you can't ignore someone if they are in needs of help."
"...what? I have to help people? And I can't ignore them? What bullshit is this? I'm a fucking murderer!" Then he pointed his middle finger at the heavens and yelled "Fuck you!"
A transparent screen appeared in front of him.
"Ding: You have been cursed by the heavens to be tortured for 24 hours if you do not save someone in a day.
Time Remaining Before The Day Ends: 11 Hours."
His shoulders slumped down and he said, "Ah, damnit."
Since he has time, he decided to fix his memories first. He sat in the patches of grass on the ground before going through his memories.
After a few moments, he was able to study this guy's memories. This kid is the son of the City Lord of the city of Pinewood. He was a talented genius towards cultivation and his father decided that he would be the inheritor of the City Lord position. But his little brother had a problem with that, so, the little brother decided to kill him by plotting a plan.
The plan was, the little brother would lure this guy to the forest before the two high leveled cultivators hiding in the forest would strike to kill him.
"Heh, I like that kid's spunk but, I will still kill him. It hurts when someone killed your body, and you still live in it, " Guan Yu said with a smirk.
As he was about to stand up, a scream led away his attention.
"Aaahh! Help me!" A little girl came out of the forest and she was running towards him. A large boar was chasing her.
