Blurb:
Fang Tongye was once a little rose on Planet 631. He struggled to survive in the wasteland, took human form, and at the very last moment of his life, became bound to a System.
The System’s code name is 999. It’s an antique that says it’s been running so long it’s bound to have bugs.
Fang Tongye gets hit by a “terrible start” bug. In every world, his beginning is miserable.

They all have one thing in common: they’re older than him.
Heh heh, Fang Tongye likes that.
Once his excitement wears off, Fang Tongye realizes things might not be so simple. The older men don’t like him at all!
“Waaah, I want to go back to being a little rose!”
“I hate him, he’s being mean to me again!”
“You said older men knew how to take care of people! Ow, my butt hurts...”
