China, Earth.
Introducing his name is Chen Lin, handsome and rich young man. He was very famous for his programming skills during his college days, winning various competitions. However, people see Chen Lin as smart, handsome, charismatic, and insightful. He has a dream to cross to another world like in novels and anime.
College years are the happiest times because so many good looking women chase Chen Lin. Of course, even now, he is still handsome, especially now that he is included in the ranks of the world's richest people.
Because of Chen Lin's ridiculous dream of crossing into another world, he decided to open a VRMMORPG-based game company, of course, with the help of his A.I. With just one year of programming, design, etc., the game was launched and had the biggest start worldwide with the number of users reaching one billion players.
But, even though Chen Lin's silly little dream had come true. However, his heart was still empty, like a barren land devoid of nutrients. It would be nice if Chen Lin had a lover who only looked at love, he thought.

CL Corp. Headquarters.
"Boss, are you ready to go home?" The middle-aged man in the Security uniform stood up from his seat.
"Yes," answered the short handsome young man.
"Careful, Boss."
"Ready," said the young man, who was none other than Chen Lin, headed for the underground parking.
Chen Lin headed for the underground parking happily because tomorrow morning was the University reunion. Of course, Chen Lin was delighted to be able to meet such beautiful University goddesses, and who knows, he might have one of them. After all, he was a man who wanted to have experience with women.
Chen Lin got into his car and then sped down the street. The streets at midnight were tranquil. Only a few shops are still open at the time of the trip. Chen Lin saw the shabby older man by the roadside sitting limply. He also approached him because it reminded him of his past that was difficult to find food.
"Sir. Can I help you?" Chen Lin asked, looking worried about the older man's condition.
"Son… I need…" The older man answered slowly as he lifted his head, looking at Chen Lin with a look of killing intent in his eyes.
"Need wha—" Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Lin felt a chill in his stomach with pain. "Y-You…"
"Son, I need your Company." The older man took off his disguise.
"Y-You… Mo Feng bastard!" Chen Lin looked at Mo Feng in disbelief. Mo Feng himself was his best friend at the university and his representative at CL Corp.
"Hahahaha! Chen Lin, now your Company is mine. The game you develop, your dream will be mine." Mo Feng looked at Chen Lin with a disgusted and condescending grin visible on his face.
Jleb!
Once again, the knife stabbed into Chen Lin's stomach. Chen Lin felt that all his hard work had been for nothing. He only enjoyed a moment, then died at the hands of his deputy. As his consciousness began to fade, Chen Lin asked his A.I to destroy all his hard work.
"Xue Ying… destroy… all data… server," Chen Lin ordered, stuttering and then losing consciousness.
[Server data destruction order received. Starting the countdown]
[10… 9… 8… 7… 6…]
Mo Feng, who heard Chen Lin's words, was immediately angry and started to take the A.I devise in Chen Lin's pants pocket, and he quickly cancelled the server destruction. But unfortunately, A.I only listened to Chen Lin's voice commands.
[Data destruction cancel order]
[Order failed to receive]
[4… 3… 2… 1…]
[Destruction of server data is successful]

Dark Abyss
"Where am I?" The handsome young man tried to get up from his prone position, and he looked around while holding his slightly dizzy head.
[Ding~ Master is now at the bottom of the Dark Abyss]
There was a flat voice in the young man's head.
"Y-You… are you Xue Ying?"
[Yes, sir. I am Xue Ying A.I Master made]
"Xue Ying, am I not already dead?" The handsome young man asked again.
[Before Master Chen Lin died, Xue Ying transferred Master's soul to another world]
"Can programs move souls?" Chen Lin was confused about what was going on.
[Of course not, but with the help of the Pendant that Master has, can transfer Master's soul]
"Pendant? Pendant? Pendant? Is it a pendant from a flea market? But isn't it ridiculous that Pendants can move souls? Even if it could, would A.I will be able to activate it?" Chen Lin muttered in astonishment, and he thought all of these things were completely unreasonable.
"Xue Ying, I will call you Yi'er ah. You said I've been transported to another world, then why are you also coming? And again, why do I feel you are inside my brain?" Chen Lin asked while stroking his chin as if in thought.
[I transmigrated to this world following Master because of the Pendant that Master has. I must help Master become the strongest as a System]
"Systems? Like in the novels?" Chen Lin widened his eyes in disbelief.
[Yes, sir, but to unlock the system features, Master must combine Master consciousness with the system]
[Combine? Y/N]
"Of course yes." Chen Lin nodded excitedly.
[Merging system with Master's consciousness]
[Process 1%… 12%… 36%… 78%… 100%]
[Ding~ The merging process was successful. Get a starter prize.

•1000 Point system
•1 Gold level Mysterious Gift Box
•1000 Gold coins
Divine Grade Star Sucking Cultivation Skill
Does Master want to learn a skill?]
[Y/N]
"Yes." Chen Lin is getting more and more excited. His dream while on Earth has now come true.
[Ding~ Master's body is disabled, Master needs 150 points to heal it. And you can choose your body type in the shop]
Chen Lin was silent for a moment with his brows twitching. "Heal, and open a shop and make a list of 10 for the best quality body."
[Ding~ Healing. 1%… 48%… 80%… 100%… Body healing has been successful. Point System remaining 850]
[Ding~ Top 10 body list
Death God Body:

Chen Lin pensively looked at the system's explanation. The bodies being sold were all very tempting. Having only 1 body can make the future bright, let alone having more than 2 bodies.
"Hem Hem… Yi'er buys Dragon God body, Immortal Body, and Special Body," Chen Lin asked with eyes shining with excitement. He also wanted to take the Death God's Body, but considering his meagre Point System, he bought the one he thought was better.
Moreover, Chen Lin thought that even without using the Death God Body, he would still increase his strength by killing.
[Purchase 3 Body for 850 Point System.
Body Merger 1%… 34%… 58%… 78%… 100%]
[Remaining Points 0]
Instantly Chen Lin felt his body grow stronger, and there was a feeling of something flowing in and out of his body continuously. Chen Lin felt a warm feeling between his stomach and chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
[Ding~ Congratulations, Master, for breaking through the 9-star body Formation Realm 9]
[Ding~ Master learns the Divine Stage 'Star Sucking Cultivation Skill']
[Mastery 1/10]
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four submerged explosions sounded within Chen Lin's body. Chen Lin felt the feeling of energy rushing into his body again, but this time it was bigger. Chen Lin felt his body energized and strong, his previously thin body was now back to health with beautifully formed muscles.
[Ding~ Congratulations, Master, for breaking through the 4-star Core Formation Realm]
[Ding~ Master obtained a Yellow tier Mysterious Gift Box]
"Wow. Not even an hour, I've already reached the 4-star Core Formation Realm, it seems to be a high level. Aren't I a super genius?" Chen Lin said with a disgusting smile on his face.
[Master managed to reach the Core Formation Realm because of the system]
Chen Lin was silent for a moment with his brows twitching. "System, transfer the memories of the previous owner of the body."
[Memory transfer 30%…80%…100%]
"Aaarrrgghh!"
Chen Lin screamed in pain with the entry of the original owner's memory fragments from this previous body. It took ten minutes for Chen Lin to accept the memory fragments. Without Chen Lin knowing, the monsters had already surrounded Chen Lin outside the protective array created by the system because his screams provoked them.
"Hah. Hah. Hah. Painful… Lin Chen… Chen Lin… aren't our names almost the same? Lin Chen, I will find out who harmed you and I will make him suffer." Chen Lin sat back down breathlessly.
[Warning~ Master is surrounded by hundreds of monsters. The Protector Array is 5 minutes left. Please, Master, be careful]
Chen Lin was shocked with his mouth wide open at the System's warning and started to look around with a frightened face.
"Yi'er. B- Buy powerful attacking skills."
[Ding~ Poor master. lord point 0]
"Tch! How to get the Point System?" Chen Lin pounded the ground in annoyance, and he couldn't believe he would run out of Point System in a few minutes when he was reincarnated.
[Master can kill monsters to get experience points and system points]
"Kill? I don't have any attack skills. Having no weapons, how to kill," Chen Lin muttered frantically.
Either the system seemed to know the contents of the mind from seeing its master's expression. System chimed in again.
[Master can try opening a Gold level Mysterious Gift Box. Does Master want to open?]
[Y/N]
"Yes, yes, yes," said Chen Lin hastily.
[Ding~ Master got
• 'Golden Stage's 'Sword of Destruction.'
•10,000 Skill Points
Points to improve technical understanding.
•1500 Point System
Learn the 'Destructive Sword Technique'?
Y/N]
"Yes, and use 10,000 Skill Points to increase comprehension" Chen Lin started to have hope.
[Ding~ Learning the 'Sword of Destruction' 2%…40%…100%]
[Successfully learned the Sword of Destruction Technique]
Lin Chen closed his eyes instantly. The knowledge of sword techniques entered his mind. His aura grew stronger, and the monsters in the Body Formation Realm began to retreat slowly, sensing the danger.
Bang!
Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a sword that could cut through anything. Lin Chen looked at the monsters like staring at a ready-to-eat fish.
"System, buy a sword with 500 Points!"
[Ding~ Buying a low-grade Silver Weapon
Point System remaining 1000]
[Ding~ Protective Array usage time has run out]
The white Protective Array started to flicker, then dimmed and disappeared. Instantly monsters from all directions rushed at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin didn't stay. Still, he immediately ran towards the lowest stage monster swarm. Chen Lin raised his hand, pointing his sword at the monsters in front of him.
"Sword of Destruction, Second Move"
