The Old Era came to an end, and all worlds fell into silence. Su Mu, the last surviving Old One and an avatar of the “Void Devourer,” awoke from a slumber lasting millions of years.
He had once fed on galaxies and treated civilizations as snacks. His sole purpose upon awakening was to drag this newborn world into eternal darkness and nothingness as well.
[Ding! Newbie quest issued: Host, please rescue a kitten trapped in a storm drain within three minutes.]
Su Mu looked at the trembling “poor little thing” in front of him, then at his own tentacles, powerful enough to crush stars, and fell into a long silence.
“System, do you know who I am? Even the aftershock of my breath can contaminate a plane.”
[System self-check in progress... Host has world-destroying potential and meets the qualifications for a savior. This System never makes mistakes.]
“Qualifications... that’s what they’re for?”
[Quest penalty: If you refuse or fail, the Host will be “purified” by listening to “Love and Peace” ten thousand times.]
“...”
To escape this damn mental pollution, and to explore whether he could corrupt this System, Su Mu was forced onto a path of “salvation”: rescuing cats and dogs and helping old ladies cross the street by day, while researching how to devour the world at night.
“System, just you wait. One day, I’ll show you what ‘redemption’ really means!”
