Hong Kong Films: Trapped from the Start, Awakening a Rhinoceros Beetle Clone

He opened his eyes straight into hell. A speedboat tore across international waters, his hands and feet bound tight with alloy chains. Madam M's men were waiting to toss him into a shark's jaws as a live target.

At the critical moment between life and death, the System activated. It wasn't a lottery or a stat boost. It turned him into an insect. A rhinoceros beetle clone burst from deep underground, devouring and evolving, then feeding its gains back to his original body. The instant their senses became linked, his bones grew three times stronger than an ordinary person's.

On the island of scantily clad agents, he snapped Madam M's neck, triggered the self-destruct device, and sped back to Hong Kong Island with three female assassins. At the Tsz Wan Shan court, young Chan Ho-nam was being held beneath Big Kwan's foot. Jiang Han casually stole the opportunity that should have belonged to Brother Nam, then called Big B his boss.

“I won't be a cop, and I won't be a gangster.” Jiang Han stood on a rooftop, gazing down at the neon-lit Yau Tsim Mong. “I'm here to rewrite every script.”

The rhinoceros beetle inside him was still evolving. What would grow next time it shed its shell? Starting tonight, someone new would write the rules of Hong Kong Island.
