The Max-Level Male Lead's Leisurely Retirement

1.

Xu Qi was once bound to the Prodigy System. He had to travel between different planes, stand out among each world's new generation through his own strength, and earn the achievement "Leaving Everyone in the Dust."

His distinctive style inspired fanatical devotion in those who loved him, who worshiped him like a god, and such hatred in those who despised him that they wanted to devour him alive.

After completing hundreds of worlds, he finally retired in glory.

He chose an interstellar world for his retirement and found a leisurely job at the front desk of a psychiatric hospital.

Then one day, the planes fell into chaos and merged together.

At the end of every mission, Xu Qi would rapidly wither away and die.

He was the brightest star of his era, burning brightly enough to illuminate the long night, yet never living to see the dawn.

Even those who hated him to the bone had once stood silently before his tombstone for a long time, wondering in a daze why he had to die.

At the very least, he shouldn't have died so soon.

One day, the dean was showing the newly arrived investor around the hospital grounds. The investor was tall and impeccably dressed in a suit.

He was said to have a mysterious background, a lavish hand, and a fortune beyond measure.

Then, all of a sudden, he stopped.

Before the dean's newly hired employee, Xiao Xu, a dull, mild-mannered man with no presence who was slacking off while sweeping the floor, the refined and enigmatic investor suddenly teared up and dropped to one knee.

His gaze was frantic and fervent.

"Welcome back, Lord of Nightmares."

The dean: ?

The dean fell silent.

The dean pondered.

The dean began seriously considering whether this investor's mental state warranted a place on the hospital's watch list.

The retired Lord of Nightmares, Chief of the White Tower, Mermaid Priest, S-Rank Beta, Holy Son of Light, Lord of Death, Angel of the Divine Kingdom, Doomsday Savior... and so on, Xu Qi also put up a question mark. Without asking any questions, he hurriedly packed the investor off. The moment he turned around...

A row of familiar faces was staring right at him.

Xu Qi: What the hell.jpg

How else could he explain seeing his former partners, friends, subordinates, superiors, rivals, and opponents?!

Faced with a crowd demanding that he return to work and reclaim his place on the altar,

Xu Qi wondered: How was he supposed to tell them that he'd already retired?
