Other people transmigrate with cheat abilities. I brought along a rusty nail.
The System says this nail will kill me, and the only way to survive is to destroy ten worlds.
In the first world, I exposed the Savior's lies, then walked alone into a sea of corpses.
System: Are you crazy?
In the second world, I jumped into a river in the bride's place.
System: Do you fucking not understand the mission?
In the third world, I burned down the candy house and let all the children escape.
System: …
In the seventh world, the nail had crept to within three centimeters of my heart. The System said this was its final warning.
I ignored it.
In the eighth world, the System started popping up an ellipsis every time I saved someone.
In the ninth world, the System finally lost it. It said no one had ever made this choice before, that I was asking for death, and that I would regret it.
I said, “Just wait and see.”
In the tenth world, the System displayed the final mission: kill my partner, Lu Zheng, and I could go home.
I looked at Lu Zheng. He stood there without saying a word.
I closed the System panel and drove the nail embedded near my heart through it.
Before it collapsed, the System asked me why.
I said, “When you say ‘go home,’ which home do you mean? The place where he is, that's home.”
The System was silent for a long time. Then it displayed one final line
“Please. Stop saving people.”
I smiled.
Then I said, “No.”
