???-Level Protected Person

In an age overrun by monsters, Fu You ate so many of them that they became endangered, saving the world.

After Fu You died, he transmigrated 1,000 years into the future. He discovered that humans could now take down small monsters on their own, so he settled down to live a carefree life, even adopting a little sister and a few pets.

On January 1, 3030, the Global Monster Rankings were updated.

All three monsters at the top of the list had been replaced by unknown SSS-rank monsters, and each one's stats now included an extra field: [Master: ■■]

The world was in an uproar.

"SSS-rank monsters that only existed in history books? Three of them show up at once? That's ridiculous!"

"A master... These three SSS-rank monsters all have the same master?"

"We're doomed. If the [Master] gets mad, our world might be destroyed."

"The Federation needs to do something, at least. Is there a plan?"

To prepare for a potential disaster, the Federation's Key Protection Registry added a new entry: [???-Rank Protected Individual]

The protected individual was identified as: the Master.

After the new regulations were announced, Fu You was envious. "The [Master] sure gets special treatment. I wonder who it is."

His little sister said firmly, "It's you."

Fu You replied, "I wish I were."

"No need to wish. It is you."

Fu You stopped arguing. "Anyway, SSS-rank monsters are really tasty."

He was just savoring the thought when he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The turtle on the table retreated into its shell, the fish scattered in the tank, and even the cat in his arms ran away, refusing to let him pet it.

Fu You was confused. What's wrong?

His sister: It's just the survival instinct of SSS-rank monsters... I hope the Federation finds me soon. I've already done so much to protect the world and make sure this monster's master doesn't get the chance to throw a tantrum...

After Fu You was recruited, he spent his days having his pets do the work and taming small monsters for the Federation, enjoying a comfortable life of doing nothing and living off others.

One day, Fu You received a monster-taming assignment and was sent to the destination. The moment he saw the target, his face turned deathly pale.

The other person smiled and offered him a still-beating heart. "It's been 1,000 years. Look, my heart is still beating for you."

Fu You: "..."

So this is a monster-taming assignment, huh?

Fine. He'd start by beating this little monster up.
