[Ding!]

[System Binding....]

[10...20...30...%&...@#,,,]

[Unknown Error! Unknown Error!]

[System unable to bind successfully]

[Invoking the emergency protocol]

“Hey, System!”

“System! Where are you?”

[Host bound to the Lotus World Providence]

[Host has gained eternal life]

“Hell yeah!”

Sigh!

“That was me... 10 years ago...”

“Now...” He took a deep breath and shook his head dejectedly.

Su Yen transmigrated to the Lotus World with high hopes after receiving his system and gaining eternal life.

“It's my time to rule the world!”

However, his grand ambitions came crashing down when he realized his system was nothing more than a knockoff.

“Who on earth created this pathetic knockoff system?!”

Sigh!

“At least, I can live forever and enjoy my life without ruling the world.”

Once again, his naive thoughts were shattered when he realized the world was not as peaceful as he thought.

He needs to increase the world's providence to enjoy this life or else...

He'll be damned to eternal suffering.

“System! I don't want eternal life again!”

“Please make me mortal!” He cried.

It was then he realized the importance of power.

You need strength to get what you want, but too much strength is also a curse, especially when the Bloodmoon Envoy arrives...

They start killing the strongest ones.

Su Yen, being immortal, wasn't scared of the Bloodmoon Envoys, but what about his loved ones? And what about the world providence?

Now, in the Lotus World where everyone is terrified of breakthroughs,

What can he do?

Too much talent is a curse. Lack of talent is also a curse.

“What kind of a messed-up world is this?”

Su Yen is in a dilemma about what to do with his life in this complicated world. However, everything changes when his clan is on the brink of destruction.

He must make a decision.

“Who cares about the world?”

“But no one dares to touch my clan and loved ones.”

Dear readers! Without any ads, maybe you will prefer .

You’d think seeing the future would give me a head start on surviving the apocalypse. I had it all planned—until everything I knew shattered when my husband sacrificed himself to save me and our son. Now it’s just me, my three-year-old son Leo, and my cursed gift of foresight that only seems to kick in when it’s nearly too late.I’m doing my best to keep us safe, to find food, to make some kind of plan—“Mommy?”I glance down, trying to ignore the tug on my pant leg as I focus on our supplies. “Not now, Leo. Mommy’s thinking.”“Mommy!”I sigh and finally look down. My three-year-old is standing there, clutching… I blink. “Leo, where did you get a knife?”He shrugs, grinning like it’s the most natural thing in the world.My heart stutters. “No, really. Where did you find that?”I try not to laugh. I mean, he’s three. Maybe he just—found it somewhere? But the next day, it’s a water bottle. Then, a tiny flashlight, somehow with batteries still inside.I don’t even know what else; he’s pulling things out one by one with the pleased grin of a kid who’s just figured out his favorite game.Well, we may just survive this mess after all.Now, if only the universe could have spared me from him. I don’t even know his name, but I know his type: tall, broad, and annoyingly handsome, with an air of calm control that’s out of place in this chaos. Ex-military, if I had to guess, with a voice that’s just as infuriating as his smirk. The man has a habit of showing up at the worst—or best—possible times, with a gun at the ready and secrets buried as deep as those bright green eyes.I mean, he’s probably useful, but I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize here: survival.For Leo and me.Because, foresight or no foresight, nothing is guaranteed in this new world—except the fact that people like him are trouble.
