I Returned to the Past to Teach Myself a Lesson

If you could go back to the past and see your former self, what would you do? --- If I could go back to the past and meet my former self, I'd just tell him that his future holds countless possibilities, and that his wishes will come true... Of course, considering that I'm not exactly the nicest person, some physical gestures would probably be necessary, too. 1. I Can Only Love Studying Chen Xu accidentally gets bound to a System that makes studying the key to survival. The System demands that he study hard and make progress every day. But it's the kind of trash System that can't even carry out a punishment for a mission right away, and keeps brushing off its Host with vague promises that "something random will happen in the future." He treats everything it says as if it were going in one ear and out the other. That is, until one day in math class, when the System brings out its so-called random punishment. "Beep. Random mission punishment is about to begin." As the System's voice reaches his ears, Chen Xu watches in horror as his left hand slowly rises, sending the terrifying signal to the teacher at the lectern: "Teacher, please call on me!" Study slacker Chen Xu: "..." How can a System like this even exist? He'd rather be electrocuted! 2. I Can Only Fight Back with Everything I've Got Wen Yu is undoubtedly a genius. He learned to draw qi into his body in less than a day, and reached Foundation Establishment in a year. Though he started down the path of cultivation a little late, his future still looks dazzlingly bright. The entire cultivation world is certain he'll be the next generation's leading figure. But one day, Wen Yu learns about his future. Apparently, another version of himself traveled back from the future and told him what he would become. "Your sect will expel you, the entire cultivation world will abandon you, and you'll become the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm." Wen Yu freezes. "Huh? The Demon Lord? Me?" 3. I Can Only Keep Moving Forward Duan Mingxing meets his future self. The other [Duan Mingxing] tells him what lies ahead: "You'll die when you're twenty-seven." Duan Mingxing is stunned, then bursts out laughing. "Isn't that great? It means I won't die before I'm twenty-seven!" To bring the truth about his parents' deaths to light, Duan Mingxing becomes a hero. In this era where superpowers reign, he uses his relatively weak support-type ability to take control of public opinion, becoming "justice" in the eyes of the world. Everyone says: "We're all lucky to live in an era with a hero like Duan Mingxing." Using his other self as an anchor, Duan Mingxing marks his place on the axis of time, and from then on, their fates draw ever closer. Amid the world's praise, he closes in on the truth, desperately racing toward his death at twenty-seven. Note: 1. This is an episodic story, with a different protagonist in each arc. 2.
