Shen Shaoyang was reborn through transmigration, but the world's will discovered him as he crossed over.
The innocent Shen Shaoyang was afflicted with a reverse-curse buff by the world's will.
While studying: Foreign presence detected studying hard. Curse activated. Academic performance -1, -1, -1.
While cultivating: Foreign presence detected cultivating. Curse activated. Spiritual energy -1, -1, -1.
While practicing martial arts: Foreign presence detected practicing martial arts. Curse activated. Martial arts proficiency -1, -1, -1.
Thus, Shen Shaoyang spent eighteen dark years.
After his curse persisted through one final attempt, Shen Shaoyang accepted his fate and started living like a slacker.
And so the curse activated in an unexpected way.
While slacking off during cultivation: Foreign presence detected slacking off while cultivating. Debuff activated. Foreign presence's spiritual energy +1, +1, +1.
While slacking off during martial arts practice: Debuff activated. Foreign presence's martial arts proficiency +1, +1, +1.
Then Shen Shaoyang realized that something about this curse didn't seem right!
