Borrowed Fortune: Borrowing Luck from the Start to Defy Fate and Change My Life

In the middle of a torrential downpour late at night, Zhou Yan, fleeing loan sharks who were after him for debt, stumbled upon something he was never meant to see: someone was about to kill a man in an alley to silence him.

He could have pretended not to notice, but the down-and-out middle-aged man cornered against the wall pressed a cold copper fish into his hand and said only one thing: "Live on for me."

The moment the pursuing man's knife plunged into his abdomen, Zhou Yan heard a cold voice ring in his mind:

[Fortune-Borrowing System bound. Host is near death. Borrow the target "Zhang Erhu's" fortune: [Fighting Instinct] for 3 hours?]

He can borrow anyone's fortune for three hours: borrow his boss's wealth luck to land a contract worth a fortune, borrow an enemy's misfortune to make disaster strike him on the spot, or borrow the destiny of a woman who looks down on him, so she can learn what it feels like to be trampled into the mud.

But the System's price is always fair:

Whatever you borrow, one day you must repay, with interest.

And he doesn't know that behind the copper fish lies an entire ancient world that feeds on "fortune," waiting for him.
