Business elite Wu Bin suddenly died and reincarnated into a college student in a parallel world. Just as he joined the freshman military training, Wu Bin realized something was off. Why was his body weaker than a woman’s? Wu Bin had thought he could use the system to change his physique and reach the pinnacle of life! But who knew, in the next second, the style shifted dramatically! Ding. 【Congratulations, Host, for successfully acquiring Acute Myocardial Infarction】 【Beware, when your heart rate exceeds 130, Acute Myocardial Infarction will be triggered 100%】 Hiss! Are you serious with this crappy system? 【High host dissatisfaction value detected, special gift package for beginners】 【Congratulations to the host on your gift— Scorn of Death】 【Congratulations to the host on your gift — Rebirth from Cocoon】 【Congratulations to the host on your gift — Iron Will】 Consequently, the ordinary college student Wu Bin became a regular at the major hospitals in Shanghai. The campus belle was smitten with him, the principal prayed for him, and the instructor treated him as his own biological father! “Why can you fracture a bone just by going to the bathroom!” “How dare you travel all over with only 1 platelet?” “This batch of college students, they're very fragile, hard to kill!”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Beast King above your level. Rewarding a tenfold amplification: Acquired an Immortal Body and sixty years of cultivation base!" Listening to the system prompt in his mind, Qin Yang stared at the large cockroach he had just stomped to death, looking completely bewildered. "Alert! A Beast Emperor-level Star Beast has been detected! Host, please flee immediately, or you will be torn to pieces!" Qin Yang looked at the tiny purple spider in front of him, a giant question mark hanging over his head—You call this thing a Beast Emperor? Later, inside the library, Qin Yang was reading a book when a little girl walked in. "Ding! The aura of a Female Emperor has been detected. Host, please kowtow and acknowledge her as your master immediately for a limitless future!" Qin Yang looked at the innocent young girl earnestly reading her book, his expression turning stiff. There is seriously something wrong with this system!!！

"What are the odds of gods for not putting me on the top? Screw it! Let's hatch a plot blacker than a kettle calling a pot!" Enter MFX90! Preferred referral, MF! Not that Mother******. First letter: 'Messiah'! Second letter: 'Father'! Why? Because you'll be calling her Daddy!—Despite choosing to stay female for psychological advantage to many heroes and transmigators along the way who find her scrumptious. A poet who'd lull you with flowery words before crushing it. A psychologist where lies and truths are but the same as myth. A strategist who controls the marionette like a pirouette. And a devil who hates hubris to the core. Living in a chaotic world with Usurpers and Angels trying to ram each other like batteries, with an ounce of stupidity faster than the reeling tape of misery. That 'MF' is the exemplar of perfection! Because it will be impossible to defeat a cultivator with just a little tinker on her genes. Who would have thought that being able to harness the harness proved to be horrifyingly destructive? This advocate of determination deem herself as a Skillionaire, collecting every knowledge and capabilities just to categorize them into 'Skill' within her brain. An internal system she created for herself to ease her lunatic tendency of human experimentation. But this 'MF' has a horrible glaring weakness. She has stage fright. ------------ [Sometimes contain mature, triggering, gore, and questionable content.

A single sentence shattered her world: “Not worthy of pride.” Those words echoed in her mind, leaving her feeling like a ghost, drifting through life without purpose. She retreated into the shadows, her small room becoming a sanctuary of silence, where the outside world felt like a distant dream. Days blurred together, each one a reminder of her isolation. But then came the soft knock at her door, a gentle interruption to her solitude. A delivery boy named Kaito, with his quirky sticky notes and warm smile, brought a spark of light into her darkness. “If you like sweets, I’ll bring melon bread tomorrow,” he wrote, his words wrapping around her heart like a comforting embrace. His kindness was a lifeline, a reminder that she was seen, even when she felt invisible. Each note was a small treasure, igniting a flicker of hope within her. Why did he care? His presence stirred something deep inside her, a longing for connection she thought she had lost forever. When her money ran out and she felt the weight of despair, Kaito didn’t turn away. Instead, he offered her a chance—a job at his grandmother’s bakery. The thought of stepping outside filled her with both fear and excitement. The world that once felt so daunting began to shimmer with possibility. As she took that first step into the sunlight, her heart raced. Kaito’s gaze met hers, and in that moment, she felt a spark of recognition, as if they were two souls intertwined by fate. Memories of laughter and warmth flooded back, whispering of a past she had buried deep. Who are you? she wondered, her heart swelling with a mix of fear and hope. With each passing day, the walls around her heart began to crumble, and the secrets of their shared history beckoned her to explore. Would she find the courage to embrace this connection, to uncover the love that had been waiting for her all along?
