National Fate: You Think I'm a Sickly Weakling? Let's See Who Gets Crushed

[High IQ + Anti-Trope + Dark Forest]

When the National Fate trial begins, Su Mu enters the wilderness, bound to China's National Fate.

From the start, he awakens the [High Martial Insight System], but what he sees isn't hope. It's a despairing set of data:

[Warning: The humans of Blue Star have been classified as “inferior food.”]

As it turns out, this so-called National Fate competition is nothing but a “cricket-fighting” game for higher-dimensional beings!

Su Mu laughs, utterly mad yet perfectly rational.

If this is a farm, then don't blame me for tearing down the cage!

He uses the rules to take out enemy nations' contestants, then turns the environment against the higher-dimensional observers.

On the surface, he's a frail-looking contestant from China. In secret, he's the “High Martial Tyrant” who makes the wilderness gods tremble.

Su Mu: “Don't rush me. The day my body attains sainthood will be the twilight of the gods!”

(No saintly protagonist here. The main character is absolutely self-serving. If that's not your thing, read something else!)
