Programmer Lin Mo worked himself to death and transmigrated to the cultivation world, where he became a “purebred good-for-nothing” with neither spiritual roots nor bloodline talent.
The good news was that he activated a System. The bad news was that this System had a vicious tongue
“Detected zero Immortal Emperor bloodline in Host. Recommendation: lie flat and wait to die.”
Lin Mo refused to accept that. With no spiritual roots, he trained his body; with no bloodline, he kept grinding. He clawed his way from a good-for-nothing who couldn't even beat a wild dog to the late stage of Golden Core.
But little by little, he realized there was something off about his System.
Other Systems were cold and impersonal, but his would crack jokes, talk back, and quietly lend a hand whenever he was about to give up. Other Systems forced their Hosts to compete and grind nonstop, but his spent every day telling him not to get himself killed.
Then, with the demon army at the gates, Lin Mo faced ten thousand enemies alone, and his System suddenly announced excitedly
“Congratulations, Host! You went from good-for-nothing to Immortal Emperor and unlocked the ultimate achievement: this System can finally retire!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. “Wait, so the System was waiting for you to support it?”
This is a story about companionship.
A programmer who worked himself to death in his past life learns in this one to slow down, keep moving forward, and protect the people he cares about.
A System that should have been cold and impersonal learns, through years of waiting, to miss someone, to worry, and to say, “I'll stay with you.”
And
A girl waiting to grow up, a master waiting for a reunion, and a boy learning to take it easy.
Where there are people, there are bonds. Where there are bonds, there is home.
