This Mental Patient Is a Beast at Fighting Monsters

Coming soon: The Sickly Beauty Would Rather Die Than Clear His Name [Quick Transmigration]

Blurb: Song Ruzhuo has suffered from mental illness since childhood.

His world is always filled with hallucinations and voices. Koi scales are covered in eyes, writhing tentacles wave from tree branches, and rank maggots crawl out of people's mouths. The world becomes a grotesque, terrifying hell.

With no other choice, Song Ruzhuo drops out of school and locks himself in a dark room.

After an earthquake, a bottomless fissure opens in the earth. From then on, the hallucinations Song Ruzhuo describes become reality, and the entire world is overrun with bizarre monsters. Whether human, animal, or plant, anything might suddenly open a gaping maw and tear apart and devour everything around it.

At the same time, Song Ruzhuo finally works up the courage to open his door. When he sees the world, he is shocked. The world has finally gone back to normal! The grass is green, the birds are singing, and the weather is lovely. How beautiful... But is the weed blocking my doorway a little too tall? I'd better pull it out.

So everyone watches in horror as Song Ruzhuo smiles adorably and casually twists a monster into eight pieces.

Everyone trembles. "This lunatic... is way scarier than the monsters..."

Song Ruzhuo doesn't know that, because of his mental illness, the world he sees is the exact opposite of the one everyone else sees.

To Song Ruzhuo, kindly old people, pretty flowers and plants, and cute animals are all man-eating demons. But the real demon, crawling out of the hellish fissure, has lost its human form and is now a vague humanoid shape wrapped in a mass of black mist. In Song Ruzhuo's eyes, though, it's surrounded by a soft-focus glow.

Song Ruzhuo: ? Huh? Why is everyone running? My erudite, talented, handsome, charming online boyfriend is here to meet me in person!

2. A little traditional folk culture, a little cosmic horror. Not scary, and fairly lighthearted.

Blurb: Just as Song Zhiye is about to die from illness, he's suddenly kidnapped by a Villain Redemption System and sent into various trials in stories about domineering heroes overcoming every obstacle. Unfortunately, Song Zhiye doesn't transmigrate into the hero. He becomes the thorn in the hero's path, the evil villain who humiliates him most cruelly, and ultimately a cannon-fodder character who dies horribly on the hero's road to success.

Song Zhiye's mission is to give the hero warmth, guidance, and companionship while he's still weak, helping him conquer the world and claim the crown. This will change the villain's image in the hero's heart, completely redeem him, and alter his fate of being killed by the male lead.

In the first life, Song Zhiye is an arrogant young master from a wealthy family, and the male lead is a low-born illegitimate son. Song Zhiye deliberately keeps this bargain-bin younger brother by his side as a plaything, humiliating and tormenting him whenever he likes.

The mission is rather difficult, because the moment Song Zhiye arrives, he sees the male lead staring at him stubbornly. Song Zhiye has just slapped him and is about to make him wash his feet.

Song Zhiye: Oh, great. I'm humiliating the domineering male lead.

System: Host, don't panic! The male lead isn't a domineering hero yet, and you haven't committed any unforgivable crimes against him. There's still time. Get him back on his feet right now and tell him everything before this was a misunderstanding! Keep it up, and you'll complete the mission for sure!

Song Zhiye: Who said I was going to do the mission?

System: ???

Song Zhiye chuckles. When you find a growing domineering hero being humiliated and completely unable to fight back, of course you should... humiliate him even more.

Song Zhiye curls his lips, casually pulls off the sash of his bathrobe, and tightens it around the male lead's neck. Looking down at him, he sees the male lead's face redden from lack of air. Song Zhiye tightens the sash further, raises an eyebrow, and taunts him. "What, you don't like it?"

System: ...

It doesn't know whether the male lead will suffocate, but it has already suffocated.

*

Song Yu has always thought he should hate the bargain-bin older brother who keeps tormenting him.

But now, his brother is leaning weakly against a daybed. His bathrobe has come loose at the sash, hanging open in a relaxed way and revealing a glimpse of skin so pale it looks sickly. His breathtakingly beautiful face is aloof, and his bright eyes look at Song Yu as if he were a dog.

Song Yu's face turns red. He can't look away.

A painful force grips his neck and steals his breath. Through the haze, the other man's stunning figure is like a beautiful ghost come to claim his life. His ears are filled with the man's humiliating words, and deep in his soul, an uncontrollable shiver rises. He wants to get closer to him, crawl at his feet, have him.

The System never expected its Host to really be willing to die rather than do the mission.

In the second life, Song Zhiye is a malicious master, and the male lead is an unlucky boy he took in as a reserve food supply. Song Zhiye raises him so that one day, when his immortal bones have matured, he can strip off his skin and bones. But before Song Zhiye realizes it, the male lead has already grown strong in secret.

System: Host! Pretend you care about him right now, and there's still hope! Start redeeming yourself at once!

Song Zhiye: Heh. Call the male lead over so I can use him as a punching bag and practice my swordsmanship.

In the third life, Song Zhiye is the most honored young prince in the empire, while the male lead is a defective slave with damaged mental powers. Song Zhiye keeps the male lead in a doghouse like an animal for years, until the male lead suddenly awakens S-rank mental powers.

System: Host, don't lose heart. The male lead is injured right now. Hurry over and take care of him to earn some affection.

Song Zhiye: Wow, he's injured? It'll be even more fun to play with him now.

In short, Song Zhiye never once does a proper job of his mission, but he eventually accomplishes every goal.

The male lead grows into a domineering hero just as he does in the story, conquering the world and claiming the highest crown.

But instead of killing Song Zhiye, he kneels at his feet and, with the deepest love, offers him the entire world with reverent hands.

Theme: No matter the circumstances, remain true to yourself
