The day Wang Ye picked up the book, the deep-set eye on its cover suddenly lit up like a lightbulb: “Urgent mission: Possess a dying senior at the Spirit Academy and subdue an escaped nine-tailed fox demon within half a day.”
Before he could shout, “Is this thing broken?” his true body was shoved into the book, and he was thrust straight into the senior's mind. To make matters worse, the mission book flashed a line of red text: Reveal your true identity, and your true body dies instantly.
He eventually figured out how it worked: the harder the mission, the greater the reward. His possession time gradually increased from half a day to a week, but the ironclad rule against revealing his true identity always hung over his head. While dodging a fox demon's sneak attack one time, he couldn't help grumbling: “If I'd known my debut would be a fight with a nine-tailed fox, I never would've picked up this lousy book!”
