A parallel world
One day, the veil of mystery shrouding the world was violently torn away.
As all kinds of bizarre phenomena appeared across the planet at once, from bioengineered demons and mutated monsters to Gu masters, curse casters, martial arts experts, cultivators, mages, ghost controllers, and mad biologists, Young Master Jiang, the backbone of our villain faction, lounged at the very center of the world's power and silently activated a giant, Gundam-like mech.
“Host, I originally wanted you to follow the path of cultivation, but I never imagined you would choose this thing.” Faced with the dozens-of-meters-tall mech, the System could only sigh in resignation.
It doesn’t matter. Great Xia may rule this planet, but within Great Xia, I, Jiang Yu, am the law.
Luo Qianfan: “Awaken, Ring of Gluttony!”
Jiang Yu: “Gluttony: abstain from delicacies, and be punished with hunger.”
The second protagonist: “What a hassle. This is way too much trouble. I can’t win. Forget it, I give up. From now on, you’re my whole world.”
Jiang Yu: “Sloth: abstain from idleness, and be punished with running.”
Years later, the sword-wielding youth looked back on the past and saw nothing but regrets.
“Brother Jiang, can we ever go back to how things were?”
“Jiang Yu, let them go. I’ll take the gods’ lashes in your place.”
“Jiang Yu! Turn around and look at me!”
“You’ll come back. You’ll appear beneath that blazing sun once more, carrying my heart with you. I have no doubt about it.”
No, none of you understand me. I just want to save one person, that’s all. Even if the world is engulfed in smoke and fire and lives are laid to waste, I have to see her again!
The writing is good, I hope there will be no ambiguity (absolutely not), and who is the heroine? More female protagonists
The author will reply a little bit
