Facing the System, I Stand Firm [Slow Transmigration]

System S13: Quick question. I carefully picked a Host who looked easy to handle. Why does his social media bio say “Follow your heart’s direction,” when he’s so stubborn? Pei Dong: Thanks for asking. I hold my own heart under the lamp and examine it over and over. Every atrium, every ventricle, is packed with the same instruction: Be stubborn. But those protagonists I’d rather stand up to the System than deceive romantically… Why did their affection levels max out on their own? “The Protagonists Each Imagined a Tragic Romance Between Two People All by Themselves” “But Pei Dong Just Wants to Get Stronger” When Pei Dong was bound by the System, he was just an ordinary, lazy college student. In countless novels, protagonists either succumbed to the terror of death, gave in to the temptation of immortality, clung to the desire to return home, or buckled under the System’s punishments. Some bullied the protagonist, some deceived them, and some were straight men who were forced into the submissive role. Everyone, every System, thought ordinary Pei Dong wouldn’t be an exception. Yet when the world was swept by chaos, that little, laughable conviction in an ordinary person’s heart became the fiercest light in the night. I have a precious pearl, long locked away by worldly troubles. Today, the dust is gone and its light shines forth, illuminating countless peaks and rivers. Worlds: Interstellar ABO Primitive Totems Post-apocalyptic prehistoric world… #Stand tall as a thousand-foot cliff, and desire nothing to remain unyielding. #I have seen the darkest night, so the blazing flame in my heart will never waver. #If no torch is lit from now on, then I will be the only light.
