After finally assassinating the Boss of the Infinite Worlds and clearing the game, Wang Yuan had barely set out on his way home when a System smacked him on the head. He was forced to become a rookie caretaker halfway through his journey, tasked with saving a villain in his childhood.
The role he was given was the villain's crooked, biological adoptive father.
His eventual fate would be either getting hacked to pieces or being sunk into the sea in a barrel of concrete.
Wang Yuan: "..."
Wang Yuan: "Hah."
[World One: Western Fantasy]
"Nobles? Kings? Gods?"
A young man stood atop the church, wearing a golden crown and a magnificent fur-trimmed robe. He looked every bit the powerful ruler, yet bent down on one knee to pick up a filthy, bloodied, blond-haired saint.
The young pope took the saint's hand and pointed toward the vast world beyond the temple.
"If the kingdom hates you, I'll overthrow the monarchy."
"If the gods abandon you, I'll kill them."
"Hold your head up. Don't bow to the world."
[World Two: Ancient Times]
"You want revenge? Tell me who to kill."
The young man had risen to become a prince alongside the emperor, wielding power over all. He looked down on the mortal world and never paid anyone else any mind. Yet on the day the Imperial Guards came to arrest someone, he charged in on horseback and cut through the shackles with a single slash, standing between them and the heir he had adopted.
The haughty prince of a different surname gently wiped the grime from the heir's cheek with his fingertip, his clean robes stained with blood.
"You've taken my surname, so the imperial family doesn't get to decide your fate."
"If you want the throne, go ahead and take it."
"Don't forget, I'll always be behind you."
[World Three: Interstellar]
"An indomitable will has been detected. Is it you, human?"
The alarm announcing the awakening of an ancient matrix rang across the universe. It was the most terrifying higher-dimensional being in the stars, yet it offered its mechanical tenderness to the last frail descendant of humanity.
Cold data swept across the human boy's fingertips, and a quantum-formed planetary orbital cannon appeared above the planet.
"Guardian of humanity. That was once my name."
"Yes, this will be love without reservation. You can reclaim every power for humanity."
"Go. I will always be here, undying and indestructible."
The villain was dangerously twisted and irredeemable. The System had assumed this Host would die on the road to winning him over.
It looked again and saw...
The villain had already fallen to his knees, obediently calling him Dad.

The villain is crazy?
No problem. I can be crazier.
(There will also be worlds of immortal cultivation, post-apocalypse, showbiz, and more. How many remains to be seen.)
+ The protagonist is the kind of fatherly figure whose love for his son makes him say, "You're not extreme enough."
+ One-on-one romance, focused on family affection. The romantic partner doesn't count as one of the kids.
Theme: Ha! I'll punch the world into pieces!
