This is the story of a mad lich with a game system, wreaking havoc on the entire world. "Let's take a look at today's daily tasks... It's that ridiculous two-choice situation again: Destroy any town with a population of over 30,000 and you'll get 10,000 evil points. Steal three children's lollipops and you'll get 1 point. If you fail to complete either one, you'll lose 2 points." "Pah! Do you think I'm stupid? If I really destroy a town, I guarantee a medieval paladin order full of epic gear will spawn to come and hunt me down. I'll make a profit, but I won't have anything to spend. I'd better just stick to being a lollipop thief." I've had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says a lich can't be a good person? I'm determined to defeat this damned system and become a truly upright and good person.

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."
