(Author's Note: This is a revised version of this chapter. For clarity I will change how the system works in much simpler sense. But the story will be the same. Sorry for inconvenience.)
In the heart of the Martial World, amidst the grandeur of ancient China, there lived a young master known as Liang Tian. He hailed from a lesser-known clan, his lineage shrouded in whispers and rumors. Born out of wedlock to a servant maid, Liang Tian had always been viewed with disdain by his family. Despite his status as a member of the clan, he was treated as an outsider, his presence tolerated but never truly accepted.
Liang Tian was unlike any other young master of his clan. Eccentric and peculiar, he possessed an otherworldly aura that set him apart from his peers. His interests and pursuits were far removed from the norms of society, often delving into realms of knowledge and wisdom that others dared not tread.
From a young age, Liang Tian's peculiarities had earned him a reputation as the odd one out. Many avoided him, wary of his unpredictable nature and the enigmatic air that surrounded him. Yet, beneath his eccentric exterior lay a mind brimming with curiosity and ambition, yearning to break free from the shackles of societal expectations.
Despite the disdain he faced from his family, Liang Tian tried his best to gain their honor through diligent study and practice. However, one fateful night, his efforts were met with treachery when an unknown assailant attempted to take his life. Though they failed to kill him, the poison they injected into his bloodstream left him unable to cultivate, rendering him powerless in the eyes of his family.
As the years passed and the pressure from his family mounted, Liang Tian found himself consumed by despair. Unable to bear the weight of their scorn any longer, he made the agonizing decision to end his own life, seeking an escape from the torment that had plagued him for so long.
It was in this moment of desperation that Avin's soul, guided by the Survival Idol System, found its way to Liang Tian's body. With the help of this mysterious entity, Avin's spirit merged with Liang Tian's, breathing new life into the once-desolate vessel.

As Avin, now inhabiting the body of Liang Tian, made his way through the ornate halls of the Liang family estate, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Sis, the Survival Idol System.
[Host Avin, it's time for your daily missions]
Sis chirped cheerfully, her holographic form materializing before him. Avin nodded, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
The head of the Liang family summoned Avin to his chambers, his stern gaze betraying no hint of emotion. Avin approached with trepidation, unsure of what awaited him.
As he entered the room, the head of the Liang family wasted no time in issuing his commands.
[You will perform three tasks for the family's honor.]
Sis declared, the system voice echoing with authority.
Avin listened intently as the system outlined the missions before him.
[1st Mission: Sing a song from the latest album of HXGm in front of a live audience!]
[Rewards: +2 attribute points and a basic qi refining technique]
[You will gain additional 5 exp!]
Avin find it quite interesting.
[2nd Mission: Compose and perform a rap song about injustice.]
[Rewards: +2 attribute points]
[Rewards: Basic Martial Soul Manual: Enigmatic Palm Strike!]
[You will gain additional 5 exp!]
As that theme resonated deeply with Avin's own experiences. With determination in his heart, Avin accepted the challenge—would bring him one step closer to his goals.
[3rd Mission: Do a Lap dancing in front of the head of the Liang family and their esteemed guests.]
[Rewards: +10 attribute points]
[Rewards: Epic grade Sub-space ring]
[You will gain additional 5 exp!]
Despite feeling a sense of disbelief and discomfort at the idea of showcasing his dance skills, especially in front of such esteemed guests, Avin knew that he couldn't afford to let this opportunity slip away. The promise of 10 attribute points and an epic grade sub-space ring was too enticing to ignore.
With a deep breath, Avin squared his shoulders and prepared himself to face the challenge ahead. Though the task seemed absurd and potentially damaging to the family's reputation, he understood that sometimes sacrifices had to be made in pursuit of greater goals. And if performing a dance was what it took to earn the recognition he desired, then so be it.
With determination burning in his veins, Avin resolved to give it his all, trusting in his own abilities and the guidance of the Survival Idol System to see him through. Whatever doubts or reservations he may have harbored, he knew that now was not the time for hesitation. It was time to prove himself, to defy expectations, and to seize the rewards that awaited him on the other side of this daunting challenge.
As Avin stepped into the grand residence of the Liang family, he was greeted by the imposing presence of the head of the clan, flanked by a retinue of stern-faced advisors and dignitaries. Their scrutinizing gazes bore down on him, assessing his every move with a critical eye.
Avin felt a surge of nervous energy coursing through him as he approached the head of the Liang family, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that the success of his missions depended on his ability to navigate this delicate situation with finesse and grace.
"Welcome, young master Liang," the head of the family intoned, his voice echoing through the opulent halls of the residence. "I trust you are prepared to fulfill your duties to the family."
Avin nodded solemnly, steeling himself for the challenges that lay ahead. Despite the weight of expectation bearing down on him, he was determined to prove himself worthy of the honor bestowed upon him.
With a sense of purpose driving him forward, Avin embarked on his journey, ready to face whatever trials and tribulations awaited him in the pursuit of his goals. Guided by the guidance of the Survival Idol System and fueled by his own unwavering determination, Avin was prepared to rise to the occasion and seize his destiny with both hands.
