Ch. 1, The Timid Young Master and the Cold Assassin

Li Zhang looked at the scene where he just got hit by an ambulance in disbelief! 

Okay, it's true that he was tired of this world's unfairness, and wanted to end his life. Even so, he wanted to die with dignity. Not just for an ambulance to smash him.

Li Zhang, a young genius in academics, is twenty-one years old. He got the highest GPA of 5.0 when he graduated high school and was accepted to the world's best university. Things were going very well for him. After getting a degree in business, he assisted his father in managing his business companies.

He notices his parents don't like him and don't pay attention to him. Even though he was the most successful one among his siblings, he was the least favored. It didn't matter how much effort he put into studying or the hard work he did to make their lives easier. His parents always treated him as if he didn't exist.  

Years later, after solving the obstacle, and making their company more popular, he discovered that the people he claimed to be his parents were not. When he was born, the fortune teller said he'll only live up to age twenty-one. At the time, he felt disappointed and angry at himself for being such a disappointment but couldn't do anything about it.

His parents sold him to the Li family. Now that he's twenty-one years old, he didn't know who put the news up about his destined death. His girlfriend left him, his friends also stayed away from him. People no longer welcome him anywhere. In just two months, he lost everything he had worked for, for years. If he knew sooner that they would use him like a puppet, he wouldn't have gone along with them, to begin with. The first person who gave him any sense of family and warmth was now his worst nightmare

He could only drink his sorrow away and got smashed by an ambulance while he was lost in frustration.

[Oh, lonely soul. This system 101 welcomes you. All your worries and dreams would be achieved as long as you bond with this system.] A strange creature appeared in front of Li Zhang and said those words.

"System? The same as those quick transmigration novels?" Li Zhang asks in confusion as he looks at the being who just spoke to him from above.

"You can call it that," The system responded with a grin on his face.

"How could I ever bond with you if I'm going to live my life like a book?!" Li Zhang complains while crossing his arms. 

"The way a real person deals with their problems is different from a book. If you're thinking about the worst-case scenario then I am your answer!" The system responds earnestly.

Li Zhang looks up at the Being and sighs before nodding his head. "That's what I thought."

"This bond is different from what you normally read." The system added

"How different?" Asked Li Zhang

[The system explained: Once you're bonded with this system, there's no going back since you're already dead. You'll be given random missions. The higher the grade of the mission, the higher the reward. There is also a bonus and newcomer package. After your first mission, you'll be sent to the system world where you'll buy your home and interact with other players like you. The experience points will confirm your standard. Once a mission is complete, it'll take days before another one loads. If you're unlucky, it'll take months, that's why you need a home to do other things while waiting.]

Li Zhang was convinced and curious about the mission benefits: "This sounds interesting, I'm in."

[System 101: The chances of newcomers getting higher-grade missions are very low. The mission target affection has to reach 100% before the deadline. If not, the mission will be considered a failure… System bonding… 5, 45… 75… 99… 100% bonding complete.]

[Random quest search… Ding, mission world confirmed Prepare for transfer. 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1 transmission complete.]

When Li Zheng opened his eyes, his first sensation was dizziness.

he found that his body was weak, and the lasting sensation of weakness gives Li Zhang a foreboding feeling.

He was lying shirtless on a king-sized bed. Although the bed was comfortable, his body was in great pain. He couldn't even get up from the bed if he wanted to. He looked around his surroundings and realized where he was. The room was dark except for the moonlight that entered through the window. It gave the whole room a mysterious atmosphere. It was as though the shadows were alive

[System 101: Dear master, the host body scan has been completed. Your current body is in an extremely weak state, suggesting to immediately purchase recovery medicine from the system shop.]

[Li Zhang: Give me the host information.]

Since Li Zhang was bonded with system101, he could communicate with the system through his thoughts. He asks for the character information while looking at the ceiling screen. He needed to know more about the character he was playing. The data came faster than he expected. As his body temperature decreased, new information appeared before his vision:

The hostname: Li Zhang, 

Gender: male, 

Age: 15 years old.

Li Zhang's father Li Jiang is a successful businessman in S city. After the Li alliance refused to help the Zhu group, which was on the verge of collapse during an economic crisis, the Zhu family scheme to make their daughter Zhu Ling sleep with Li Jiang in hope of blackmailing him into acquiring the Zhu group. But their plan failed in the end because they were no match for the Li family in terms of wealth and power. But then, Zhu Ling got pregnant in the process and died after giving birth. Li Jiang took the child to raise him, but deep down, he still despised Zhu Ling. Little did he know that she was also a victim. His main wife also had a son and didn't welcome Li Zhang. Therefore, Li Zhang didn't grow up in love. Although he was clever in his academic performance, he would get bullied now and then, nothing would come out of it. He became the subject of bullying until his personality became timid and timider.

Li Zhang immediately guessed that the situation his body was in right now was caused by bullying. After the host Li Zhang got beaten to this stage, he didn't tell anyone and hid his injuries which lead to his death. But even if Li Zhang was born during the wrong time, he was still a Li Jiang child. How could he be treated like this? The mare thought left Li Zhang speechless.
