The moment Lu Chen opens his eyes, he gets the deluxe package for transmigrating to another world: a blood moon overhead, monsters running rampant, and the apocalypse already underway!
Just as he’s celebrating that there’s always a way out, he awakens a “Chosen One Check-In System.” A second later, he wants to strangle himself.
[Ding! Beginner mission: Within 24 hours, find a big shot far stronger than you and hit them with all your might three times. Not fatal.]
[Reward: Basic attributes +2% every day. The gains will accumulate and defy the heavens!]
[Failure penalty: Permanently lose 5% of your basic attributes: senses, strength, speed, constitution...]
Lu Chen looks at the white-haired sword immortal highlighted in red by the System, sword energy soaring into the sky, then at the chipped woodcutter’s hatchet in his hand. His vision goes black.
Hit him three times? How is that any different from handing the King of Hell a death warrant?
But if his attributes drop, he won’t even qualify as cannon fodder in this man-eating apocalypse!
And so the style of surviving the apocalypse in another world goes completely off the rails:
While everyone else trembles in the ruins as they search for supplies, Lu Chen scans the world for red-named big shots marked “Extremely Dangerous.”
While others work hard to grow stronger, Lu Chen walks a tightrope between “hit someone three times a day and watch his attributes skyrocket” and “skip a day and lose a level on the spot.”
“What kind of golden finger is this? It’s a clock-in system at work and a death-chase system after hours!” Lu Chen cries out like an overworked office drone as he tearfully charges toward today’s target for certain doom.
To stay alive, he has no choice but to steel himself and embark on an unconventional path to godhood, hitting big shots left and right in this broken apocalypse, and courting death every step of the way!
The male protagonist's start was too miserable 😄
