An average-looking man, about 5'7" feet's tall, was walking down the street toward a shop to buy some snacks when his phone suddenly rang.
Hmm? Edward? What does he want now…
"Hello there!" an energetic, loud voice boomed from the caller.
"Dude, why is your voice so loud? You nearly destroyed my eardrums."
"Haha, sorry! Jack, you didn't forget our double date at 6 p.m., right?"
"No, I didn't. Just one more hour and I'll be there."
"Okay, see you, my friend!"
After hanging up, Jack entered the shop near his house—the same one he always visited to buy his needs.
After buying what he needed, he went to the cashier.
Hello, sir, that will be nine dollars."
"Okay," Jack replied, handing over the money.
He left the shop, happily humming to himself. "Hmm, hmm, hmm~"
But as he walked, the air suddenly changed. The sky darkened, and a massive, strange object tore through the atmosphere with a deafening roar.
Jack froze, staring in fear as the massive object was coming toward him.
"Don't tell me… Meteor-kun?!"
Those were Jack's last thoughts before the meteor crushed him into nothingness…
…
In a desolate place, a teenager about eighteen years old suddenly woke up in shock. He gasped for breath, "Haa… haa…" His chest rose and fell as he struggled to calm down.
He looked around.
He was in the middle of a forest filled with tall, green trees. The wind was so strong that it seemed as if it could rip the trees from their roots.
"Where… am I?" he muttered.
Suddenly, he clutched his head in pain as a flood of foreign memories poured into his mind, making him feel as if his skull were about to split apart.
Faces, names, places—he felt them all at once, foreign yet strangely familiar,
Wait, wait, wait… don't tell me I got isekai'd! Hahaha!"
To a loser like Jack, this was like a dream come true.
After calming down, he spoke to himself:
"So the original host of this body was the Ping Family's fifth young master… one of the strongest four families of Cloud City."
He paused, then sighed.
"Well, that was previously—since the Ping Family is no more."
It seemed that the other three families had united against the Ping Family. Just as the Ping Family's ancestor was on the verge of breaking through to the Qi Grandmaster Realm, the ancestors of the three families interfered, disturbing his advancement and causing him a Qi deviation.
After that, the ancestor was gravely weakened, and the three ancestors used their life-saving items to ensure he could not escape.
And just like that, the Ping Family ceased to exist. The patriarchs and elders of the three families slaughtered the remaining members of the clan—including his father, the patriarch, his mothers, and his cousins.
He was the only one who escaped—not because he was strong , but because he was a coward. The moment he saw what was going to happen, he immediately fled. But his escape did not go unnoticed. Some weaker cultivators spotted him and chased him for days, ultimately killing him in the forest.
"Well… even though he was a coward, I think he did the right thing. After all, he was just a weak ant at the first level of the Qi Disciple Realm , After that… alas, he did not survive in the end. "
"Well, whatever. I don't think I need to take revenge for the Ping Family—after all, they're not my real family."
"Hmmm… I think I forgot something important… Yes! My golden finger!!!"
Jack: "System!!!"
System: Yes, Host.
"Holy moly… I have a fucking system!"
Jack: "System, introduce yourself!"
System: Ahem… I am one-of-a-kind — the almighty EXP Leveling System. Want to level up? Don't worry: all you have to do is kill and plunder!
"Hahaha! An EXP Leveling System—just my type!"
As a loser, Jack had spent most of his time back home immersed in reading Xianxia novels. To be honest, he want to be OP as fast as possible… and what better help could there be than a leveling system?
Jack: "System, show me my status!"
System: Ding!
[Host: Jack]
Race: Human
Age: 18
Realm: Qi Disciple – 1st Level
EXP: 0 / 1000
Spiritual roots: second level ( 5000 mischief points to upgrade )
Bloodline: None
Constitution: None
Jack muttered to himself "Second level spiritual roots in this desolate region … it is considered average as a cultivator with such spiritual roots is guaranteed to reach the master realm and with some lucky encounters and effort he could reach the grand master realm ."
Jack frowned slightly, "Hmmm… System, what are these mischief points you're mentioning?"
Ding!
[System Notification]: As their name implies, Host… they are points that you can acquire by doing any mischief — killing, plundering, betraying any form of life.
You can use the Mischief Points to buy anything you desire from the System Shop: techniques, weapons, pills and herbs, artifacts, talismans, and even bloodlines and constitutions.
Jack muttered, "But aren't those things normal in a Xianxia world? Well, whatever… that just makes it free points. So, just for clarification—when I do anything 'evil,' I gain both EXP that makes me level up and Mischief Points that I can use to buy items from the store, right?"
Ding!
[System Notification]: Yes, Host, you are right… and the ratio between them is 1:1. Meaning, if you kill a lower-stage cultivator, you will gain 10 EXP and 10 MP.
Jack smiled, "Not bad at all." This system was getting more and more to his liking.
He then looked at his Bloodline and Constitution bar, only to be disappointed. "Sigh… so no hidden bloodline or constitution…. From the memories of the fifth young master, Ping Gou.
he learned an important truth: even someone with the lowest-grade bloodline or constitution was guaranteed to reach the king realm. From this, the true value of bloodline and constitution became clear.
As for the King Realm cultivators? They are the backbone strength to any force in a range of hundred of thousands miles. They are the true rulers of stormveil kingdom ( mc kingdom ) and tens of adjacent kingdoms .
So the strongest in this kingdom is just a King Realm cultivator… the same cliché of being reborn in the weakest village, in the weakest city, in the weakest province, in the weakest kingdom, in the weakest empire, in the weakest continent, in the weakest world, in the weakest universe, in the weakest multiverse.
Never mind, that will only make the journey longer… hmmm, now that I am in a forest, I should kill some monsters so I can level up some levels. Jack said with a creepy smile that would have made anyone hellishly scared.
