Tang Li pov
My name is Tang Li. I was recently a hardcore shut-in otaku from Earth. Its quite cliche, I know, but I was killed by the truck kun; while I saved a beautiful girl from an accident when I went out to buy the new manga.
Instead of getting thanks from a beauty, all I got was death. I thought then, I never truly enjoyed my life on Earth. If I got a chance to live again, I would do whatever I want and live my life to the fullest.
I found myself floating inside a black space for a long time. I felt like even eternity passed when I was there. One day, I suddenly saw a white light envelop me. When I opened my eyes again, I found that I have reincarnated into the body of a teen with the same name and body as me.
I felt elated at the new chance of life I got. I became, even more, happier when I found out that this world contained magic.
But this joy only lasted an instant, that is, until the memories of the previous owner assimilated into me. I found out the previous me in this alternate reality was considered trash by the entire academy.
The old me had a poor memory and a low aptitude for all the magic elements. At most, even with his hard work, he would only reach the 4th magic circle. That was also what I thought my life to be until I heard the heavenly voice of my system.
" Welcome to the Heavenly Overlord System."
The system was a heaven-sent to me. I finally saw a speck of light in my gloomy life. This speck of light only became brighter when I got to know that the system was even stronger than the god. I felt like being on cloud nine when I ultimately got my gold finger.
That was when the idea struck my mind.
'I am exactly like the protagonists in those system novels that I read previously. Trash at first, then getting an overpowered system and with the knowledge of life at earth, killing towards the heaven and becoming a deity with a harem of world toppling beauties along the way; no change at all!'
I started making my calculations. The low key at the early stages is definitely a must! But if someone wants to act against me, don't blame me if I respond in kind!! I will never falter in this new life and will crush down everyone, even their long-lived ancestors if they stand in my way.
I then scoured my memories for anyone I have to look out for. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!!
That was when I found the reason for the previous owner's death.
It was actually because of a beautiful girl. My predecessor was already the worst student in his Sophomore year, ie the 3rd semester. A junior girl helped him out once and the boys wooing her started to bully him. They then would call him out alone, beat him badly, and steal his learning resources. Unable to endure any more bullying, he committed suicide.
Anger coursed through my veins as I remembered their appearances!! They will pay with their lives. How dare they!!!!!!
' Don't worry predecessor, This grievance! I will settle it down for you! This is my gratitude for giving your body to me.' I made an oath, engraving it deeply into my mind. ' Moreover, the junior girl looks nice too. She is, without any doubt, destined to be part of my harem. She was so nice to me even when I was the trash of the sophomore year. She never cared for it while everyone avoided me. Where else would I get such a nice girl??'
After making the oath, I then turned to check out my system. I found out the system gives out exp points for completing quests and for killing people and beasts. These can be used to get stronger and also to buy from the store. I laughed aloud when I realized that that I would not get any bottleneck during my rise to the top.
