Finish it already, you bastard, Zhong Yi. We're late because of you."
", I'm sorry, sir. I'm done."
{Damn it, wasn't all of this because of my conflict with the manager's son? You deliberately made things difficult and left me to shoulder half the work alone.}
"Sir, are we done now?"
nish it already, you bastard, Zhong Yi. We're late because of you."
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. I'm done."
{Damn it, wasn't all of this because of my conflict with the manager's son? You deliberately made things difficult and left me to shoulder half the work alone.}
"Sir, are we done now?"
"Yes, we're done—thanks to you. Can you even work properly?"
"Yes, sir. I'm sorry. I'll improve from now on."
{Forget about improving. I won't work from tomorrow onward, you bastard. I'll submit my resignation—but not now. The manager is here today, and he might cause trouble since he wants me to stay at this 'job.'}
"Alright. See you tomorrow, sir."
Hah… this damn act is really exhausting. Forget it. I'll quit tomorrow anyway. For now, I'm heading home.

Now that I'm back home, let me see if I missed anything today.
Hah? Damn it, the chapter finally came out. It's been a whole month, you bastard author. If this novel didn't suit my taste, I wouldn't have waited for this final chapter. Whatever, I'll read it.
Hah… I'm done. It was truly amazing. Thinking about it, it's already been eight years since I started reading novels—since that incident…
ha..., don't think about the past. Still, I've started feeling extremely bored with novels. From one story to another, from romance to battles, from battles to sci‑fi, from sci‑fi to horror—everything blends together.
Have I unknowingly become addicted to "novels" themselves rather than the enjoyment they bring? Maybe.
Forget it. I'll think about which novel to read next after this masterpiece. Perhaps I'll decide tomorrow—after I quit this damn job.
I'm going to sleep now…... ah, damn it. Can I really not escape this past, even after all this time?

"Young master, wake up."
"Wake up, young master. You'll be late for the new disciples' reception."
Hah… damn it. Who the hell is shouting in broad daylight?
"You're finally awake, young master. Hurry up, you'll truly be late for the reception."
The voice belonged to a maid somewhere atop a mountain.
﴾What the—who is this beautiful girl? Why is she dressed like a maid, calling me 'young master'? Where am I? What's with this old, traditional furniture?﴿
"Who are you, girl? Why are you dressed like that, and where are we?"
"Young master, this really isn't the time for jokes. You'll be late, and your reputation may suffer. Please hurry."
﴾Damn it… why is she so serious? Think calmly. I was clearly asleep in my own house. What's going on? And this strange feeling in my body—this isn't the sensation of being in my own body!﴿
"Alright, you can leave. I'll get up and won't be late."
"Yes, young master."
What the hell is going on? Where am I? What is this place… wait, there's a mirror. I'll take a look—hopefully it's not what I'm thinking.
No?! Is this some kind of joke? I… this isn't me!
Who is this handsome guy?
Ah—what is this pain?! It feels like my brain is being crushed!
___________________________________________________
Where am I again? What is this empty place?
"Is it… you?"
"Are you the one who took over my body?"
A voice echoed in the empty world—a voice that sounded young, yet carried immense power.
﴾Hah… I took over your body? Damn it, is this really what I was thinking?﴿
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hah… such a genuine reaction for someone who carries so much evil within."
"Do you really not know what's happening, or where you are?"
Yes! Tell me what's happening and where this place is."
﴾I'm not an idiot. From what I can see, this is the original owner of the body—the so‑called 'young master.' But why didn't he die? It's obvious that I'm inside his body.﴿
"Hmph. I can truly see that evil now… You're wondering why I didn't die, aren't you? You're quite good at hiding your emotions."
…!!!
What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all.
"Hah… perhaps this is fate. I was always someone who tried to hide his power—even from Heaven—because I yearned for one thing… freedom."
"Perhaps Heaven discovered me and is punishing me now. Don't worry."
The strange being smiled mockingly.
No, no—how could that be? Don't worry? I'm not worried at all.
﴾Even though I don't know how, you can read my thoughts. There's no point pretending.﴿
"Good. I like you better this way."
The strange voice spoke again, a hint of… amusement in its tone.
"Enough riddles. Tell me who you are, why did i take over this body, and what this place is."
"Hah. I am… someone who once fought against Heaven."
"…What?"
"Forget it. You're not qualified to know yet. First, I'll give you my memories from this life so you can understand this world."
Ah… that damn pain again.
What are these memories?
Are these the memories of the body's original owner?
Is this a cultivation world? No wonder everything feels so traditional.
Well… his life seems pretty good.
Born as the son of a Marquess, possessing outstanding talent.
Started cultivating at the age of five.
Refined Qi at eight.
Established his foundation at thirteen.
Formed his Golden Core at seventeen.
Currently at the mid Golden Core stage, only two stages away from breaking through to Nascent Soul.
The Marquess' estate places all its hopes on him, wishing for him to elevate them to a higher level within the Sacred Peak Empire.
And on top of all that… he was truly the most handsome person I had ever seen.
﴾Is this… the winner in life?﴿
"Hah, are you feeling jealous? In any case, this won't remain mine for long. I'm nothing more than someone fated to lose to 'certain people.'"
"What nonsense are you talking about? With these abilities, power, and talent, who could you possibly lose to? You might even become your sect's Holy Son."
"Hah… I know this from my previous life—something even Heaven doesn't know about it yet."
A previous life…?
"That's enough. I can't tell you more, and I can see that you don't truly care."
"Anyway, the reason I summoned you wasn't for that. I only want you to take care of my family—and beware of Heaven."
﴾You old thing with two lives… once you're gone, I honestly won't care about your family, especially now that I know your past.﴿
"Hah, I've already delayed you long enough. I don't expect a filthy being like you to possess emotions. Still, remember this: in this world, you possess some power. Don't overestimate it, but there are things you can now do that you couldn't before."
"I see deep resentment within you toward certain people—but you keep it buried."
"My family is the source of that power for you. Please, take care of them. They are… the only thing I ever cared about."
"And in return, I will grant you the power to block Heaven's surveillance."
﴾Then you're….... just like me.﴿
Suddenly, the world shattered and vanished.
Ding Ding—
'Welcome, Host. I am your system—the Supreme Villain System.'
