Starting from Zero: Reborn with an Idol System
The cheerful, yellow demon on his shoulder had one rule: “Suffering is data. Let’s collect.”
Reborn with a second chance, Bai Xingyue thought his new System would be his golden ticket—instant stats, easy mastery, a shortcut to the idol stage he’d always dreamed of.
He was catastrophically wrong.
Xiao Zhu, a fragment of cosmic error from a shattered timeline, didn’t grant power.
It auctioned it.
Its library was infinite, a digital pantheon holding the breath control of a legendary diva, the razor-sharp isolation of a debut-era main dancer, the emotional timbre of a broken-hearted soloist.
Every technique, every secret, had a price. Not in points, but in payment upfront: raw, human suffering.
“Your first purchase,” Xiao Zhu chirped as Xingyue stared at the glittering interface.
“Foundational Breath Support: Level 1. Cost: One (1) hour of sustained, full-body plank.
"Failure to maintain perfect form resets the timer. The skill unlocks after successful payment. Do you accept?”
This was the deal.
The contract.
The System was a merciless merchant, and Xingyue’s pain was the only currency. To learn a dance, he’d pay in muscle failure.
