I Should've Stayed in Novice Village and Become a Pig

You're a pig in Daoxiang Village, and all you want each day is a natural, additive-free omakase.

Everything here is great, except that strange noises pop up around the village from time to time.

Of course, none of that has anything to do with you, because you're just an adorable little pig who eats and sleeps all day.

One day...

Yes, one day, the chef who often made omakase for you raised his butcher's knife.

You struggled with all your might, but in the end you became the filling in pork dumplings.

You weren't willing to accept it.

You were eleven out of ten unwilling to accept it.

Is a pig's fate really to be raised and then eaten?!

That's not fair!

So you headbutted the soul-reaping messenger who came to collect you, and by a strange twist of fate, you charged straight into the path of Yu Banxian.

Yu Banxian looked at you without smiling, then smiled, then stopped smiling, then narrowed his eyes and smiled again. "Piglet, it seems your luck is terrible. Would you like this old man to help turn it around?"

You looked up at him. You'd never seen this fortune-teller take part in village events, but he had a strong presence.

He wasn't among the people who ate your pork this time, so he was probably a good person.

So you said, "I really do need help. Please help me, Master Banxian!"

Yu Banxian stroked his beard and said, "You aren't willing to spend your whole life as a pig. What do you want to become?"

You widened your eyes. "A human! I want to be human too!"

"All right."
