"F***, what the hell is this pain?" Feng Tian groaned as he regained consciousness, his body writhing in agony. It felt as though his mind was being torn apart, every nerve ending on fire. A torrent of memories, disjointed and chaotic, flooded into his consciousness, overwhelming him.
"Aaaa!" he screamed, clutching his head in a futile attempt to fend off the excruciating pain. His vision blurred, and he collapsed back onto the bed, his body trembling.
Minutes passed, maybe hours—time seemed to lose all meaning in the haze of pain. Eventually, the intensity began to ebb away, and Feng Tian found himself able to think clearly once more. Slowly, he opened his eyes and took in his surroundings.
The room he found himself in was small, cluttered with piles of manga, anime DVDs, and various action figures scattered across every surface. Posters of scantily clad anime characters adorned the walls, and a dim light filtered through a single window partially covered by dark curtains.
"What the hell…?" Feng Tian muttered, disgust evident in his tone as he scanned the mess. "This boy hadn't done anything useful in his life. What a waste he is." His voice dripped with disdain, and he shook his head, disappointed by the life of the body's previous owner.
As he began to gather his thoughts, a strange sound echoed in his mind, catching his attention.
[HOST FOUND. SYSTEM INSTALLING...]
"What the—" Feng Tian started to say, but the voice continued, ignoring his confusion.
[1%....2%...40%...100%]
[SYSTEM INSTALLATION COMPLETE.]
Feng Tian's brow furrowed as he processed the words. "Wow, is this the system that the previous owner of this body fancied so much? There are lots of memories about that."
Indeed, as he sifted through the flood of memories, he recalled countless fantasies the boy had about awakening some overpowered system that would change his life. Little did he know, it would be Feng Tian who'd end up with that system.
"Well, whatever. According to that voice I heard before, I need to find my mission myself. Then this system should have the answer," Feng Tian reasoned. "Okay, system, show me my mission."
[IT IS PREFERABLE THAT HOST CHECK HIS STATUS FIRST AND THEN REVIEW HIS MISSION.]
"Fine, show me my status," Feng Tian responded impatiently.
A screen appeared before him, displaying his current stats:
**STATUS:**
- **PHYSIQUE:** ANCIENT YANG PHYSIQUE
- **TECHNIQUES:** YIN-YANG DUAL CULTIVATION
- **SYSTEM TYPE:** SUPREME HAREM SYSTEM
- **MISSIONS:** LOCKED
Feng Tian stared at the screen, his eye twitching in irritation. "Damn, what kind of status is this where most of the fields are blank? And what the hell is the 'Supreme Harem System'? I shall never make a harem. What the hell is this system?" His voice was filled with frustration as he cursed the system.
[IF THE HOST DOESN'T LIKE IT, THERE ARE OTHER SYSTEM FUNCTIONS THE HOST CAN CHECK OUT.]
[HOST CAN UNLOCK THE SHOP AFTER COLLECTING FIVE HAREM MEMBERS, AND THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO ASSIST IN COLLECTING HAREM MEMBERS.]
[SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOST TO EXPAND HIS HAREM.]
[HOST. ARE YOU LISTENING? WHY ARE YOU NOT ANSWERING?]
Feng Tian's patience wore thin. "What do you mean by listening? Are you my system, or are you some second-grade salesperson trying to sell me unsold goods?" he shouted, his voice filled with incredulity.
[WELL, DUE TO CHANGES IN TREND, MOST PEOPLE NOWADAYS DON'T WANT SIMPLE HAREM SYSTEMS. THEY MOSTLY DEMAND FATE SYSTEMS THAT HELP THEM CREATE A HAREM AND TRAMPLE OVER PROTAGONISTS BY STEALING THEIR FATE. EVEN THOUGH THE SUPREME HAREM SYSTEM CAN MAKE THOSE HAPPEN, IT CAN'T GET FATE POINTS. SO THEY DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE. *SNIFF* *SNIFF*.]
Feng Tian's mouth fell open, momentarily stunned into silence. "Are you… are you crying? And you're trying to sell me an unsold item?" He shook his head in disbelief. "Damn, it's good that I'm cautious. If not, I'd be fooled by you."
[NO, HOST, I'M NOT FOOLING YOU. I'M DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. ALL THE SYSTEM WANTS IS TO MAKE THE HOST'S LIFE HAPPY AND TO LIVE WITHOUT WORRY.]
Feng Tian's expression turned serious. "Stop spouting nonsense. Show me the mission."
The system hesitated, then complied:
**PRIMARY QUEST 1: RULE THE WORLD**
- The world, which is peaceful right now, will soon awaken its Qi veins, making it possible for cultivation. Animals will grow stronger rapidly, and people will start developing exclusive skills. Some may even awaken powerful physiques or bloodlines. In 250 years, the long-forgotten gods will return to influence the world once more. Your goal is to rule the entire world within 1000 years.
**PRIMARY QUEST 2: HAPPY LIFE**
- As the future ruler of the world, you should ensure a happy life for yourself. Conquer women along the way and build a large harem to enjoy after you've achieved global domination.
**ACTIVE QUEST: START THE JOURNEY WITH THE MILF**
- The previous owner of this body had a crush on the MILF next door. As the inheritor of this body, your journey will begin by conquering her.
- **Deadline:** Before the world awakening in 3 days.
- **Reward:** Your first partner will awaken a Yin Physique.
Feng Tian stared at the screen in disbelief, a mix of rage and disbelief on his face. "F*** no, I will not accept it! Who the hell wants to conquer this newborn world and be given 250 years to do it? And 750 more years to conquer a few false immortals? Only a fool or some naïve teen with a brain focused only on women would need that much time!"
He slammed his fist down in anger. "I am Feng Tian, the Celestial Yin-Yang Phoenix! I don't need that much time, and I definitely don't need to waste my life conquering women and living in debauchery until death. I am true to my love, and I will never think of another woman."
For a moment, the system fell silent, processing Feng Tian's outburst.
[Mm, IS IT TRUE, HOST? YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTING THE GIVEN QUESTS AND WON'T LOVE ANOTHER WOMAN?] The system's tone had softened, almost as if it was shy, though Feng Tian dismissed the idea immediately.
"Of course, it's true! Now get rid of these ridiculous missions," Feng Tian demanded.
[CONFIRMATION RECEIVED. THE HOST SHALL BE READY FOR HIS SECOND CHANCE.]
"What! Not again!!!!.... no!!!!!!...." Feng Tian screamed as the world around him began to blur and warp. A powerful force gripped him, pulling him away from his current reality.
He felt his consciousness being ripped from the body he had just inhabited, spinning wildly through a chaotic void. Colors, sounds, and emotions all swirled together in a nightmarish kaleidoscope, overwhelming his senses.
The last thing he saw was a faint outline of the system's screen, its text distorted but still legible:
[PREPARING TO REINITIALIZE… GOODBYE, HOST…]
Feng Tian tried to resist, to cling to some semblance of control, but it was no use. The force was too powerful, too all-encompassing. It felt as though his very soul was being torn apart and reassembled over and over again, each time losing a little more of what made him… him.
Just as he thought he could bear no more, the sensation stopped. Everything went quiet, and for a moment, there was nothing but darkness which he felt oddly familiar.
Before he could ponder further, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
[WELCOME TO YOUR OLD HOME HOST, NOTHINGNESS.]
Feng Tian stiffened, recognizing the system's voice. "What's going on? What happened to me?"
[YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE, AS PROMISED.]
"A second chance?"
[CORRECT. THIS IS A TRANSITIONAL SPACE. YOU WILL BE REBORN SOON.]
"Reborn? Into what? And where?
[YOU WILL KNOW SOON]
A familiar voice echoed once more,
"Congratulations brat you didn't dissapoint me."
