1.4 The first world

A tall and muscular young man dressed in a stylish grey coat sitting comfortably in a bustling cafe.

The cafe which is situating in the middle of A city had been crowding with customers since morning. It is one of the most popular attraction spots of this busy city.

Cafe Au Latte.

This handsome young man is currently be admired by the other customers in the cafe, mainly by the women. They have been whispering nonstop while looking at him excitedly.

"Oh my god! He is so handsome!"

"He's a model, no, a celebrity! I will be his passionate fan and follow him on social media!"

"If I asked, will he gave me his name and his phone number?"

The man is sipping is his black coffee gracefully. Smile occasionally decorating his handsome face.

Ting! Ling!

The bell in the main door is ringing softly, indicating a new customer is entering the cafe.

Another young man in casual clothes stepped inside. A pair of sunglasses is hiding his beautiful pairs of brown eyes. His lips curved into a charming smile when he saw his acquaintance's face.

"Ah-Wei!" Diana waved her hand excitedly at Zhang Wei, which in return, the man is also enthusiastically waving back at her. He then approached the girl.

Although those pair of enchanting eyes inexplicably hiding behind the sunglasses, one cannot deny his excitement in seeing her.

Suddenly. he bumped into someone. The handsome man from earlier standing abruptly, and Zhang Wei collided with the taller man's sturdy chest.

"I am sorry! I didn't realize someone is walking behind me!"

"No, no, it's okay. It is also my fault." Ryan rubbed his nose. Oww, is that a chest or a wall? That's hurt.

"Are you okay?" The man asked in concern. His guilty expression is clearly showing on his handsome feature. His obsidian orbs are gleaming in the light, alluring Ryan to stop and gazing further into those eyes.

Ryan is stunned when he saw the man's face in a closer distance. His crimson hair has a shiny luster on them. Ryan felt his hand is itchy. Look at those muscles and sturdy thighs. Wow, very handsome, ah! If he is gay, this man is undoubtedly a great catch. But, since he is straight, he didn't care. It just this is the first time they meet, yet he seemed familiar to him? Did the original know this man?

"It's okay, don't worry. I am sorry for interrupting your breakfast. My friend is waiting over there. Until next time." Ryan gives him a polite smile before he goes to the furthest seats in the corner of the cafe. He is oblivious to the drastic change in the taller man's eyes. Those eyes transpose from a gentle gaze into a predatory look.

The atmosphere turned chilly for no reason.

{Is that him?}

(Yes, the original soul had been replacing by a transmigrator. What's your plan, host?)

{I will celebrate his arrival, of course. I waited long enough for him to come. With grand fireworks and a big surprise, our new game will start its new chapter.}

The black energy ball beside him shook its body before disappeared into thin air.

Ping!!!

White Ball whipped its body and started scanning the cafe's surroundings.

(Host, I sensed an abnormal level of energy!) The system exclaimed.

White ball floating around the cafe, frantically trying to locate the source of the dark energy.

{What nonsense are you spouting about, White Ball?} Ryan's momentarily shifted his gazes from Diana.

(This type of energy, I think there is another system in this world.)

{Is that a bad thing?}

(Of course, host! We are merely here to help to mend the blackened points accumulated from unnecessary cannon fodder's sacrifices. If two different types of systems existed in the same world, what do you think will happen? Their interest will clash! And, rather than mending the damages, we might drove the world into its destruction. Furthermore, I sensed dark energy. They had a bad intention.)

Ryan sighed. Aigoo, this is only his first world, and he just started his first mission after White Ball practically begging him while in tears. Why is his life so hard?

He checked his transparent monitor, displaying his personal information and the missions he needed to complete. With a slight swipe of his index finger, the screen appeared in front of him. Only he, himself, could see this invisible monitor.

[Main mission:

1. Stay alive in this world until 30-100 points

2. Reveal the Female Lead's true face-50 points

3. Become a well-known person in the country-100 points

Hidden Mission: Catch the serial killer-1000 points.]

Ryan decided to do only two main missions, the first and the last one. If he can solve the serial killer case, his name will be famous in the whole country. It's like killing two birds with one stone. And, for the Female Lead or the Male Lead? He didn't care about those overbearing characters.

"Ah-Wei? You looked tired. Is your clinic is doing well?"

Diana noticed that Zhang Wei had changed. Before, his personality is more reserved and restrained. Now? He is a bit straightforward and has more confidence when he talks. His once slouched shoulders and slumped back had regained its backbone.

Whatever the reason is, she is very grateful for these changes. Even after breaking up, they maintain a good relationship, a healthy brother and sister relationship. If this man has a good life, she, of course, will be happy for him. Both of them happily munched their delicious breakfasts.

If only they'd realized that their meeting today will be their last one, and Diana will end up being murdered by a psychotic serial killer. Ryan, without a doubt, will regret meeting her that day. Because of him, an innocent woman has died miserably. And, the reason for her death is, quoted by the possessive Doctor Jackal,

"It is because she had shamelessly clung herself into her old boyfriend's thigh."

Next morning.

"Today, early in the morning, a body of a young woman is found stuffed in a trolley bag. Some passerby joggers discovered the bag near a rarely used bridge of a southern river. The victim is known as Miss Su, 25 years old, a part-timer model..."

Ryan unconsciously had gripped his glass hard enough, which had to cause the fragile glass to crack before it shattered to pieces. He didn't register the pain of being stabbed by broken pieces of glass. Instead, Ryan felt muddleheaded. He stared at the television in a daze.

The anchor's voice is ringing in his ears. Keep repeating the same news, again and again. Then, as if he is being slapped awake by someone, he snapped back from his trance-like state.

"DOCTOR JACKAL," Ryan shouted angrily. His eyes flashed a dangerous red color. "I SWEAR TO STOP YOU THIS TIME!"

The condominium building shook for no reason as if it's experienced a severe shock wave.
