Chapter 1: The Immortality Superpower

In Yan City, Dragon Nation, a handsome young man lay lazily on a deck chair, basking in the sun.

"Xiao Tian, why don't you go out and find a part-time job? Even my grandson is working during the holidays," called out a voice. Han Tian turned his head slightly to see the neighbor lady carrying a basket of groceries.

"Too lazy," Han Tian replied indifferently, sensing the pride in her voice as she compared her grandson to him.

"Oh," she responded casually and walked toward her husband, who was waiting nearby.

"I don't think it's laziness; he's just useless. That boy awakened an F-grade ability. He's practically a nobody now," she said in a low voice to her husband, but Han Tian still heard it.

Han Tian didn't argue because she wasn't wrong. He was eighteen, having just graduated from high school. Normally, this would be the time to start striving for success, but he had chosen to lie flat instead.

This was a world where everyone awakened abilities, ranked from SSS at the top to F at the bottom. Han Tian had awakened the lowest rank, an F-grade ability—Immortality.

This ability doubled his lifespan, allowing him to live longer than others. But what use was that? Turtles live long too, but they don't become immortals!

Others had abilities like super strength, fire control, or ice manipulation... and what did he have? Immortality?

Sure, living longer is great... but what good does it do? I want to be admired, to be powerful and cool! But my ability is set in stone, so I might as well enjoy life while I'm young. With an ability like Immortality, I'll have plenty of time to suffer later.

While others were busy choosing which top university to attend, Han Tian chose to slack off. University? With an F-grade ability, he would only get into a third-rate school, so why bother?

Why not slack off and enjoy life while he can... But even trying to enjoy the sun in peace wasn't easy.

"Well, well, isn't it Han Tian, the handsome guy from Yan High School? What are you doing, sunbathing here?" a voice called out. Han Tian turned and saw the last person he wanted to see.

The woman was Sun Xiaoyu, the school beauty of Yan High School and his ex-girlfriend. They were once the perfect couple, but everything changed on the day of the awakening.

His F-grade ability had sealed his fate, making him hang his head in shame. Sun Xiaoyu had wasted no time leaving him for Pang Dahui, a fellow student who had awakened an A-grade ability.

Pang Dahui was brawny and simple-minded, with a face that resembled a gorilla. Yet, Sun Xiaoyu chose him for his talent without hesitation.

Sun Xiaoyu was a classic opportunist. Before their abilities were awakened, she pursued Han Tian because he was handsome. Now that abilities were awakened, she dumped him for the A-grade Pang Dahui.

"Honey, don't talk to this loser. It might ruin your pretty face and lower your B-grade ability!" Pang Dahui stood next to Sun Xiaoyu, his voice dripping with condescension as he spoke.

Annoyed, Han Tian thought, I want to sunbathe. Why do I have to deal with this?

Sun Xiaoyu didn't seem to mind. She clung to Pang Dahui's muscular, hairy arm, her voice sickeningly sweet. "Darling, you're right. This loser is all looks and no substance."

Pang Dahui felt ecstatic. Han Tian had always been the shining star at Yan High School, and no one had ever paid him any attention. But today, he could mock Han Tian freely, and Han Tian's ex-girlfriend had willingly come to him.

Pang Dahui swaggered over to Han Tian, a malicious grin on his face. "Little F-grade loser, are you jealous of my A-grade ability?"

Sun Xiaoyu wiggled over to Pang Dahui, clinging to him affectionately. "How could he not be jealous? My man is the best!"

Pang Dahui felt like he was on cloud nine. He was finally getting revenge on the school's goldenwhichand, and it felt fantastic.

Seeing the couple's mocking faces, Han Tian finally lost his patience. Even a clay figurine has some fire in it, let alone an eighteen-year-old man.

He stood up angrily, glaring at Sun Xiaoyu. "Sun Xiaoyu, I thought you were a good girl, but you're shameless! We broke up, so why come here to disgust me?"

Pang Dahui's face twisted with rage at Han Tian's words. "What do you mean, disgust you?!"

He grabbed Han Tian by the collar and lifted him effortlessly. "I have an A-grade ability, super strength. I'm destined to join the special forces. How dare you talk to my woman like that?!"

Han Tian struggled, but his strength was no match for Pang Dahui's. His Immortality ability was useless in a physical fight.

Pang Dahui threw him to the ground and placed a heavy foot on his chest, causing Han Tian to cry out in pain. The pressure felt like a thousand pounds.

"Bow down and apologize to my girl, and I might let you go," Pang Dahui demanded.

Despite the pain, Han Tian defiantly retorted, "You look like a gorilla!"

"Asshole!" Pang Dahui shouted, kicking Han Tian several meters away.

Sun Xiaoyu laughed, covering her mouth, and ran over to Pang Dahui, hugging him. "Darling, you're so strong. This loser dared to insult you. He has no idea what he's up against!"

Han Tian coughed up blood from the impact, feeling humiliated, furious, and helpless.

Pang Dahui smirked, his hand wandering over Sun Xiaoyu's shoulder. "Baby, about that thing you promised me..."

Sun Xiaoyu blushed and pouted, "Oh, you're so impatient! I'm not ready yet. Besides, with your size, I might not be able to handle it."

Her words hit Pang Dahui's sweet spot. He glanced at a nearby love hotel and started pulling Sun Xiaoyu toward it. "We'll see if you can handle it once we try!"

Pang Dahui laughed as they walked away, deliberately stepping over Han Tian's fallen body. He shot Han Tian a taunting look and even spat on him.

My girlfriend of two years, who never let me touch her, is going to a hotel with this guy she just met!

The humiliation, anger, and resentment exploded within Han Tian. He wanted to punch Pang Dahui, but his body ached all over, and he couldn't even speak.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Detecting host's extreme physical distress..."

"Better late than never, the Ultimate Life-Burning System, activating!"
