[Hot-tempered, fiercely protective volcano gong × outwardly calm, truly introverted shou]
Yang Can is one of the few volcano gods left in the Age of Decline. He lives in seclusion on the mountain with his volcanic body. After living for thousands of years, he hasn’t cultivated a more tranquil nature with time. If anything, his temper has only grown more explosive.
One day, after scaring off another tourist trying to pee in his volcanic hot spring, Yang Can noticed a suspicious speck of light bobbing in the pool. He fished it out on a whim and discovered it was a System.
The System sensed Yang Can’s aura. Its resentment at not having found a Host immediately vanished, and it watched him in terror as it hurriedly explained everything. “Spare me, sir! The System didn’t mean to bother you. I just wanted to bind to a Host.”
Yang Can was bored just then, and the System’s words caught his interest. “Tell me, what do you do with a Host?”
The System brought out its employee handbook and explained, “This System is a Forbearant Male Supporting Character System. The Host must endure humiliation and hardship in the early stages, then make a spectacular debut later. Complete the missions, and you’ll earn points to exchange for whatever you want.”
Yang Can snatched the handbook. The more he read about the various protagonists, the more his teeth itched. Those spineless protagonists would cry things like, “Don’t bully a young man just because he’s poor,” yet let themselves get bullied almost to death before finally fighting back. Then, right after they fought back, the story would rush to its ending. The satisfying part wasn’t even a tenth as long as the suffering that came before.
Yang Can raised a hand and burned the handbook to ashes. “What do you mean, endure humiliation and hardship? They’re just a bunch of good-for-nothings!”
The System waved its hands frantically. “Sir, as the saying goes, in thirty years, the east bank of the river...”
Yang Can rolled up his sleeves and sneered. “Bind me already. In thirty years, I’ll beat him until he calls me Grandpa!”
In one world, the boss’s assistant, the young general, the top agent, the squad leader, the spineless husband’s brother-in-law, and the senior disciple all realized that something seemed off lately. Why had that pathetic old guy suddenly changed and started standing up for himself?
They had to admit, he looked pretty handsome when he got all assertive.
