When Chen Zhou entered Sacred Realm, he received 9,999 skill points.
The price was that every NPC started with a -1 affinity toward him.
Other players took the normal route: accepting quests, apprenticing under mentors, joining guilds, and building their reputations.
Chen Zhou couldn't.
Humans didn't welcome him, class mentors ignored him, and even the chickens on the roadside were wary of him.
If he couldn't be a good guy, he might as well try being a villain.
Starting in the newbie village, he traded with monsters, did favors for other races, and leveled up in the cracks between players and guilds.
When everyone started asking which side he was on, Chen Zhou looked at the hatred rating filling his screen and thought the question was ridiculous.
He just wanted to enjoy a game in peace.
