The Good-for-Nothing Signs In and Begins an Unbelievable Life

As the first rays of dawn pierced the mist outside Chen Feng’s window, he was kneeling on the stone steps outside the ancestral hall, his back nearly broken under the punishment meted out by the family elders. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and bloomed like a crimson flower across the flagstones. At that moment, no one knew that a secret, slumbering deep within his soul, was quietly awakening.

He was the most unremarkable good-for-nothing in the Chen family. His constitution was frail, his talent mediocre, and even the servants barely spared him a glance. Yet fate chose that very moment to open a long-sealed door for him: the sign-in System awakened. All he had to do was keep signing in every day to receive resources and skills beyond the reach of ordinary people. No one believed he would stick with it. After all, he’d once been unable to stand steadily. But he did it, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, never missing a single sign-in. Those seemingly insignificant gains seeped into the earth like spring rain, destined to give rise to thunder.

Xuan Lie had mocked him countless times, calling him “an ant dreaming of moving a mountain,” while the old servant Uncle Fu secretly tended his wounds late at night. Chen Feng remained as silent as ever, but in his eyes burned a star-like determination. He knew there were no shortcuts on the road to rising above his station, only day after day of hard training and trials. Each sign-in seemed to remind him: fate is not set in stone. People write their own miracles.

If one day an ant really did move a mountain, how would those who once trampled on his dignity face him then?

As the path defying heaven unfolds before the world, how should humanity face the unknown?
