Once the plot of a newly generated book world is complete, it can break free of its cocoon and become a fully realized world.
System 414's mission was to enter newly generated book worlds, bind itself to a Host, and help them steal the original protagonist's fortune and take their place as the new world's protagonist. That would let it siphon off the world's fortune on a massive scale.
The world would then fail to develop and head toward destruction due to its loss of fortune.
After that, it would ruthlessly abandon its Host and bind itself to a new one in the next world.
1. Since it had just been put into service and was inexperienced, System 414 first went to the easiest kind of story: a sweet modern school romance about childhood friends, hoping to gain experience.
It bound itself to a person who had transmigrated into a book as its Host. With the System giving them cheat abilities, the Host made steady progress, stealing the original protagonist's lover, family, friends, teachers, and classmates. The original protagonist even died a violent death.
The System and its Host were celebrating when the original protagonist returned as the Ghost King.
System Σ(っ °Д °;)っ: “...Wasn't this supposed to be a sweet modern school romance? Why was there a Ghost King hidden in it?!!!”
2. After failing its very first mission, the System reflected on its mistakes. This time, it investigated carefully and made sure it had chosen a purely modern urban romance about a domineering CEO, with no supernatural elements whatsoever.
After being bound to a System, the universally disliked character was reborn as everyone's beloved white moonlight. Just as the protagonist's reputation was ruined and he suffered a devastating blow, his second personality emerged.
What the hell? Can someone tell me why the protagonist's second personality was not only a total maniac, but an even more domineering CEO than the original male lead?!
3. In the next world after that, the System took its time and chose a modern farming story. It made sure the protagonist had no hidden identity, no second personality, and was just an ordinary office worker who couldn't get by in the city and had returned to his hometown to farm.
Then, just as the Host had driven the protagonist to the brink of death, the protagonist's pets and the flowers and plants he had grown all became spirits.
It turned out that the protagonist had been a virtuous person for ten lifetimes. All these spirits had been saved by him, and now that their cultivation had borne fruit in this life, they'd come to repay him.
The System fell apart. Wasn't this supposed to be a modern urban farming story?
4. Terrified of modern stories, the System went into an ancient farming story this time. But after the protagonist's couple was split up, a group of fox spirits and ghosts transformed into handsome men and beautiful women and knocked on the protagonist's window that night, offering themselves to him.
Aaaaaah! How could this turn into a Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio derivative, too?!
5. An ancient court intrigue story. The protagonist, a young emperor, was so enraged by his Host's schemes and provocations that he actually transformed into a dragon???
The deceased emperors of past generations also rose from the dead, and they were all true dragons who came to support their little dragon!
So your dragon clan has been treating this place like a sacred ground for surviving heavenly tribulations!!!
6. The System reflected on its mistakes once more, went back for an upgrade, and then returned. This time it entered a cultivation story about a transmigrated book character who turns his fortunes around.
The protagonist failed to turn his fortunes around and went back to his family's ancestral profession as a spirit medium, which he had practiced before transmigrating. He summoned ancient gods, then grew rapidly and swept all before him under their protection...
7. In a xianxia story, the universally adored, saintly protagonist successfully wins over all the villains, turning them into his devoted entourage. The Host gets the villains to adore them first, driving the saintly protagonist into a corner.
The protagonist ponders for a moment, then writes to his longtime pen pal: “Dear hubby, I'm in trouble. Come save me.”
A Cthulhu-esque evil god pilots a space battleship through a portal and blasts all the wicked villains into the sky.
“??? What the hell? Does it have to be this ridiculous?!!!!!!”
Later, the Heavenly Ways of the worlds gather.
“Have you heard? A lot of Systems have been showing up lately, stealing fortune and causing new worlds to fail to develop and be destroyed. Quite a few worlds that hadn't yet completed their plots and transformed successfully have already been wiped out.”
“Oh, don't worry. We can ask powerful, mature worlds for help.”
“Big shot, we're in trouble! Come save us!”
P.S.
1. The System only provides the Host with the plot, necessary items, and other assistance. It must remain silent and can't interfere with the plot, so it can only let the Host do as they please.
2. The System is the thread connecting all the worlds, so it won't be destroyed until the very end.
