“I've already saved the world once, so for the rest of my life, just let me do whatever I please.”
So proclaimed the audacious master thief, standing at the pinnacle of the city.
Bai Hongxue had a secret he couldn't tell anyone. At eighteen, he had transmigrated to another world of swords and magic. As a transmigrator, he had defeated the Demon King and saved the world, then resolutely returned to Earth.
After putting down his hero's pack, Bai Hongxue made his choice: to become a master thief, deftly stealing the dazzling, alluring, and incredibly dangerous treasures of the city.
“Standing in a mountain of gold and leaving empty-handed. What a strange thief.”
“A master thief isn't a mere thief. A single flower and a chest of jewels are no different in a master thief's eyes. To me, elaborate conspiracies, secrets no one cares about, and numb, boring lives are all treasures I adore.”
The master thief's eyes gleamed. “And I will have them.”
“You really are a strange fellow. But your luck ends here.”
“Heh. As someone who once saved the world, I can do whatever I want. No one's going to stop me.”
Not for justice, not for evil, not for ideals, and not for desire. Just for a moment's personal amusement, nothing more. Doing what he wants, becoming who he wants to be, and committing all kinds of crimes with carefree delight. That's all.
Tonight, the night breeze is as gentle as ever; tonight, the darkness is as alluring as ever.
This nocturne, belonging only to the night, will one day ring across the heavens.
