We’ve All Given Up, So How Did You Become the Human Race’s Great Emperor?

[Grindset King + Hilarious + No Female Lead + Wish Fulfillment]

(Not an invincible-from-the-start novel)

Li Gu transmigrated to a fantasy world and awakened the Grindset King System.

From then on,

the whole world changed.

When his fellow disciples chopped one bundle of firewood, Li Gu chopped ten.

[Congratulations, Host. You outworked your rivals and obtained the Azure Sky Tyrant Body.]

When his fellow disciples hit the training dummy once, Li Gu hit it ten times.

[Congratulations, Host. You outworked your rivals and obtained the Heaven-Questioning Sword Art.]

When his fellow disciples suffered minor injuries, Li Gu suffered serious ones.

[Congratulations, Host. You outworked your rivals and obtained the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword.]

His fellow disciples went crazy. You're competing even when you're injured?

Years later...

Heavenly Venerable: “There is only one person I admire in this life. He showed me what it means to work hard.”

Human King: “When I was at my darkest and most helpless, I was fortunate enough to spend a few years by that person's side. He taught me the meaning of persevering.”

Dao Emperor: “That person taught us all that hard work matters more than talent.”

Empress: “When I first met him, his behavior seemed bizarre. I regret that I didn't understand him back then. Only years later did I learn what it means for the Great Dao to be simple, and to keep the heart of a child.”
