The born-rich miss secretly gave birth to a daughter for me. She didn't want to admit it because she didn't want to be humiliated. Amid her family's scornful eyes, she thought I was just a poor boy. What do I do now? It seemed that I could only let them see some of my strength. I sighed and waved my hand, and one of the four bank presidents came up with a nod and a bow.

Born on June 18, 2002, Kenji is only a few months away from his graduation on May 19, 2026, but his life still feels trapped by money, pressure, and the painful memory of being left behind.

Unbeknownst to him, he came from a lineage of experts. Some had been kings, some were the greatest cultivators of their time. Heck, one of them was a demon lord! Actors, politicians, hackers… the list goes on and on. More importantly, they all carried their life’s ultimate goal before passing away. That was leaving an offspring to carry their name. That was until Adrian died without achieving anything in his life or even losing his V-Card. However, before his soul could be registered in the book of afterlife, his ancestor ‘kidnapped‘ his soul for a little chat.

If Adrian couldn’t score women of his own world, they would send him to different realities. Realities where there were plenty of women, but few males. He couldn’t fail to score in such worlds… right? RIGHT!?
