Ling Chen, a bankrupt rich kid, is cornered on a rooftop by loan sharks, with his life about to come to an end.
Just as he gives up all hope, the [Chuunibyou System of the Myriad Worlds] forcefully binds itself to him!
"Ding! Beginner mission issued: Step on a trash can, point at the sky, and proclaim to the world: 'You wretched mongrel, who gave you permission to gaze upon this king!'"
Ling Chen: "...Can I choose to jump off the building instead?"
To stay alive, he chokes back his tears and commits to the cringe. From then on, everything goes completely off the rails!
When his enemies chant ancient spells, he yells, "Burst forth, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world!" Then he lands a punch that deals real damage.
When his opponent summons an abyssal demon dragon, he raises a branch he picked up by the roadside and cries, "Awaken, EX-calibur!" In an instant, holy light blazes and the demon dragon is reduced to dust.
He thinks he's the only fool in the world, until a mysterious inheritor of ancient martial arts and a cold, aloof beauty from the cultivation academy come looking for him, their expressions impossibly complicated.
"Fellow cultivator (classmate), your 'Taoist title (moves)' are certainly... unique, but the world needs your strength."
Ling Chen covers his face. "Please, just forget it! Those were incoherent ramblings from when I was having an episode!"
But when the shadow of world-ending destruction truly descends and everyone despairs, he alone steps forward, points his sword at the sky, and cries out a declaration that resounds across the universe:
"In the name of my Evil King's True Eye, I shall protect this world!"
