'New mission: Rebuild civilization in the wasteland. Create a safe haven that belongs entirely to humanity. Failure will result in deletion, so get to it, Savior!' Tang Shuang looks around at the place crawling with monsters. This is a disastrous from-the-start setup. One swipe of a claw would send her straight to meet her great-grandma.
After working herself to the bone to complete the mission, the System goes: 'Ding! Mission reward: an invincible sword.' She stares at the shabby little sword in her hand, deep in thought. So she's supposed to nick the boss with this thing, then quietly wait for it to die of tetanus? System, don't be ridiculous!
When someone is being chased and gnawed on by a monster, the System says: 'Ding! Rescue mission triggered. Aggro transferred.'
Tang Shuang: “?”
When the players in a dungeon are on the verge of being wiped out, the System says: 'Ding! Rescue mission triggered. Aggro transferred.'
Tang Shuang: “?”
What can she do? Stuck with a System this useless, she can only evolve from a weak, helpless, shivering wreck into someone who punches monsters, kicks evil gods, and sends every species threatening humanity flying.
P.S. The heroine is a walking human-shaped snark machine, flapping around on the brink of a breakdown. She does save people, but she's no selfless saint, and none of the characters in the story are purely good or evil.
Content warning: The story includes BG, BL, and GB relationships, and isn't limited to one genre.
May peace and prosperity be as we all hope.
