You Were Just Supposed to Make an Appearance, So How Did You Become the Child of the Planes?

[Reborn + mistaken assumptions + misunderstandings + unconventional twists + immensely satisfying thrills + multiple heroines]

Question: The System picked the wrong person. I wasn’t supposed to be reborn, but I was. If it finds out, it’ll erase me on the spot. What should I do?

Answer: Keep up appearances and pretend you weren’t reborn. Act like an idiot while secretly building yourself up!

And so...

“That security guard picking up cigarette butts by the roadside is the newly crowned richest man, Jack Wang? No way, he really isn’t interested in money!”

“When he used to hold me in his arms and watch the moon, he called me ‘Sweetie.’ Now he pretends to be a fan and asks for an autograph, calling me ‘Goddess’?”

“Esteemed Ye, the Rocket Starlink launch is just waiting for your final signature. Why did you fly back to the country in the middle of the night? What do you mean someone’s rushing you, and you have a delivery to make?”

“Wall Street offered trillions to keep him, but he wouldn’t even give them a glance. He insisted they didn’t have authentic spicy pepper soup there. Such integrity! I’m in tears!”

Wang Ye thought he was incredibly clever. He followed the sign-in schedule from his previous life on the surface, while secretly enjoying all the perks of being reborn. Life couldn’t be sweeter!

But as the gap between his status and his behavior grew more and more absurd, the whole population began wildly imagining things, and no one could stop them!

Then one day, his Reputation Points overflowed!

System: This is bad. Blue Star’s reputation cap is only one hundred million units, and you alone have more than ninety million. You’ve become the chosen one of this plane, man!

Wang Ye: That’s a good thing!

System: A good thing? How about you look up?

A colossal rift split open in the sky above.

Wang Ye: What the heck is that?

System: What comes after “invincible under heaven”?

Wang Ye: What?

System: Enemies from the heavens!

Wang Ye: ???

Come on, man! We agreed I’d just keep up appearances. How did this turn into a battle to defend the plane?
