MTL - Nine Cents Refining - Chapter 106 Good intentions (2)

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called “last hope.”He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough.Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision:[Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.]Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual.Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s “legendary” starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life.Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first.After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

The Great Yan Empire exists in a world where respect can only be earned through strength. Within this Great Yan Empire, the four great clans have always stood above the rest. Among them, a particular incident in the Lin Clan resulted in the banishment of a certain individual who went on to start his own family, in hopes of one day being recognized again by the Lin Clan, and rejoining them…

Jack regarded himself as the greatest failure in the world; a broke unemployed law student who does nothing but laze around all day.This was until he was chosen by the Urban System.[Urban System Activated.]With its activation, the system elevated him beyond ordinary, gifting him the kind of video-game skills only protagonists possessed… and exposing the world’s real, long-buried truth.In reality, no human in the world was actually human. Everyone were descendants of fantasy races, each possessing strange powers and abilities that was supposed to exist only in myths and legends.Moreover, with the activation of the system, he had inherited the fate of the previous user who live the truth of the world all his life.Now Jack must confront that destiny, facing the dangers of a world far more fantastical… and far more perilous… than he ever imagined.
