“Congratulations, Host, you’ve bound to the Benevolent Mother System! Spread kindness far and wide, and you’ll gain beauty that could topple nations!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve bound to the System of Utter Evil! Wreak havoc on the world, and you’ll gain a body that will never perish!”
After transmigrating, you bind to two Systems at once.
One forces you to give up all your cultivation to save the people. With a wave of your hand, spring breezes blow for miles and sweet dew falls, and all living beings bow before your compassionate gaze.

You lean forward, tip up his chin, and smile as though madness is the only way to live. “I want… the whole world to be just as messed up as I am.”
This kingdom, I don’t want it to be good, and I don’t want it to be
