Zhang Xuan prepared to slap his former manager, grabbing him tightly by the collar of his shirt. His former manager stared at him aghast with fear, shaking and trembling as if ready to beg for mercy right then and there. "You think you could get away with treating me that way huh? You think you could just yell at me and mock me and look down on me!" Zhang Xuan said in a sharp, but also lightly fearful voice.His inner anger was beginning to come out, his mind returning back to that previous headspace. The headspace of when he was the powerless Zhang Xuan. The Zhang Xuan who got bullied by his manager every day almost. The Zhang Xuan who didn't get anything done and didn't achieve anything. Some of his former anxiety flared up, but it wouldn't stop Zhang Xuan from feeling retribution today.The images played back in his head again, of the time Zhang Xuan's manager knocked things over on purpose. Then he forced Zhang Xuan to clean it up in front of the Manager's friends. It was humiliat
Zhang Xuan walked through the streets, as if he were looking for trouble. His mind was now somewhat at ease now that he preformed the beating of the manager's ass. "Hmph. That guy got what was coming to him, that's what he gets for messing with me. I bet he didn't see that coming." The cash from his manager's wallet felt so good.All those years of being bullied by him, all of those months of him mistreating and humiliating him at the convenience store for other people's enjoyment. Zhang Xuan felt as if a burden was released inside of him. But it didn't feel done yet. He thought to himself about everything that was happening. Zhang Xuan may have developed cultivator strength, but he had not developed physical power in society. He had the power in his fists, but was still known as a loser boy who did nothing but read manhua's all day!"I have to change my reputation! How can I be a cultivator and still stuck as a side character!?" His insecurity began to well up inside of him again. A
The thug attempted his pathetic punch against Zhang Xuan and completley and utterly missed, just like his parents when they chose to raise him. The thug fell on the floor and slammed against the pavement, looking like a complete joke against Zhang Xuan the cultivator.It was a pathetic sight to see, such a man who had gotten off on bullying the weak was now being bullied himself!The young man who was being bullied watched the scene in shock, gasping as he saw Zhang Xuan effortlessly humiliate the thug. "Such power, it exists???" The young man stared aghast and befuddled by the thug getting his ass beat so easily. The thug attempted to stand up and salvage what dignity he had left within himself. His clothes had gotten dirty from the pavement. His tongue bleeding friend called out to him, "What are you doing, how are you getting your ass beat so easily?"Zhang Xuan folded his arms, to look cool and like some kind of martial arts master. "Come at me, both of you. I don't have all day
A loud screaming came out of the alley way, the man was now crying in pain from the most painful thing Zhang Xuan could inflict on him. Something that Zhang Xuan could only inflict on the worst of people, a true judgement of the character of their soul.The lego underneath the foot forced one to confront the problems within themselves, solely from the pain it made them experience upon stepping on it. The pain it evoked was primordial, ever-growing from how potent the pain one lego brick could cause.The Man fell over screaming and clutching his foot, panicking from what he had just experienced. It was too great!Zhang Xuan calmly walked over to him, and stood over him. "Now it is time for you to undergo the tribulation of the lego brick young man!" Zhang Xuan boldly stood over the man, watching as he cried in pain from the lego brick. "You will now have to face the judgement of your sins for bullying the weak, will you face yourself like a man! Or are you going to crawl like a worm!
After allowing the young thug to faint from the blood loss, Zhang Xuan left him in the alley way. "Perhaps, in another life. You will not be a side character like you were.." Zhang Xuan remarked to himself, feeling pity regarding the young man.If only he did not allow himself to be a forgettable villain, a character only written to get his ass kicked. Perhaps he would have a higher calling in life, or maybe even survive beyond one or two chapters. Instead he was now forgotten, irrelevant, and would probably be deleted from the reader's mind after a few chapters alone.Such was the fate, of one with a forgettable life.Zhang Xuan grasped his hand, he would never allow himself to be a side character! His fist was tightly clenched, showing his resolve and determination. He held it like this for a few seconds, before releasing his hand after cramping it. He couldn't be too determined. He needed to keep himself in check, otherwise he would probably pull something.The regrets and doubts
A loud crack was heard by everyone in the street. All of the passerbys around Zhang Xuan turned to look at what had just happened, the loud crunching of someones bone echoing through the air ."Hmph little brat, you should know better than to mess with-" The Tall brutish thug remarked with cocky tones in his voice with a certain smile on his face. The kind you made when you were all too sure of victory. It quickly corrected itself, upon a sudden sharp pain going through the hand he punched Zhang Xuan with. "Huh?" The Older man remarked, pulling his hand back away from Zhang Xuan and looking at it for one second.His fingers were twisted in several different directions, his hand bruised and turning a mix of red and purpleish all over the skin, a tinge of numbness radiated through each of his fingers. The man realizing he could no longer feel any sensations inside the tips of his fingers. Everything in that hand was without any doubt broken. A few people in the crowd remarked loudly see
Regression. It was a word that held a lot of weight. In the world of Manhua Men, it was a belief that held just as much power as any religion. To some, it was a sign of hope – to return back to the past with everything you knew. To others, it was seen as a curse – to return knowing the cruel reality ahead of you. A doomed destiny, like ant struggling against a giant. Some could never overcome the gaps of reality. A talentless loser would always remain a talentless loser. For Zhang Xuan, it was a hope that kept him moving. He dreamed endlessly of returning back to the past one day. One day, a miracle would set him free from the hell that had become his life. If he could just be like the protagonists of the online Manhuas he used to read. A burning, evergrowing hope that he could remake himself as someone better, someone smarter or richer. Someone Superior. "Yeah one day...One day I'll go back and show them all!" Several months ago, he was still a stay at home loser. Living an unev
Zhang Xuan awoke with a shock, his body covered in cold sweat. It was just a dream, he told himself sternly. But even as he did, he could still see the gruesome image of his own death vividly in his mind. It had felt so real... As if he had actually relived the experience. Even now, he could feel the pain and terror of that moment as if it was happening all over again. "Damn, the world didn't really end did it? It was all just a dream!" Zhang Xuan shouted to himself, but felt a strong gut feeling otherwise. He reached out quickly in desperation to his phone nearby.He needed to check the date now more than ever, his eyes shot up upon disabling the lock screen after several attempts. His excursion back into the past had made him nearly forget his password! It was 2/1/2030. "Two months before the apocalypse...Have I really gone back two months!?" Shaking his head to clear the cobwebs from his mind, Zhang Xuan got up from his bed and walked over to the window. The sun had not yet ris
