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
Here, Zhang had to endure the tribulation of finding a good apartment.He scoured every part of the city, visiting countless desolate buildings and empty residential complexes. But no matter where he looked, he couldn't seem to find a suitable place for him to move into. These places were often too crowded, or too run down for him to bother moving into. He refused to move into a place with too much noise, or rats! He needed to remain in seclusion, and not risk creating any variables before the apocalypse began.With each passing day, his anxiety grew stronger as it became clear that he was running out of time. Finally, after spending days of tirelessly searching for a home, Zhang Xuan stumbled upon an old apartment building hidden away in a quiet corner of the city. Zhang Xuan only had 45 days left until the beginning of the apocalypse.The building was rundown and decrepit, with many rooms left unoccupied by previous tenants who never returned or moved elsewhere. But despite its a
Zhang Xuan could feel a sudden power grow inside of him. Where he formerly felt his dan tian in his past life was now glowing with a very strong energy.Zhang Xuan knew that he had somehow obtained a deep and powerful cultivation style thanks to this master, one that had truly earned the name True Blade Emperor Cultivation. The sharpness of blades became very intimately familiar within his mind, his body began to feel as if it had swung blades for thousands of years in the span of minutes!"This master's technique is so potent, it is a shame that he does not have long to live.." Zhang Xuan felt regret build up inside of him. This kind master was willing to give him something, a chance everyone would kill for. And yet, he would not live to see the results his disciple would bring onto the world.The mysterious master felt Zhang Xuan's emotions well up, "Bah you silly disciple! Don't feel pity for an old man like me and go back to cultivating!" He immediately struck Zhang Xuan on the b
Arrogant and entitled, the young master sneered as he surveyed the shabby apartment complex. He looked down on the landlord who owned the property, regarding him with disdain and contempt.Clicking his tongue in disgust, he scoffed at the run-down appearance of the building. It was clear that he saw himself as superior to everyone around him - after all, only lowborn and undeserving individuals would be willing to rent a place like this."Well what are you waiting for stupid trash? Are you going to sell me the apartment or what!?" The young master glared at the landlord, his eyes filled with hostility and disrespect. He sneered at him as he crossed his arms over his chest, clearly intent on causing trouble for the poor man. He was rich, and the land lord was a simple man barely unable to manage such a run down place!Why wouldn't he look down on him?The land lord was shaking in fear as he took a step backwards, his brow furrowed in anxiety. He knew that he couldn't afford to anger t
The landlord cowered behind his desk, his gray eyes wide with terror. "Oh no," he mumbled. "He's done it now..."The landlord cowered behind his desk, his gray eyes wide with terror. "Oh no," he mumbled. "He's done it now..."The landlord cowered behind his desk, his gray eyes wide with terror. "Oh no," he mumbled. "He's done it now..."A burly, fat body guard stepped up to Zhang Xuan, his fists clenched and a threatening aura emanating from him. "Young man! You are courting death! Apologize now or you won't be able to walk out of here in one piece!"He spread his arms wide and sneered at Zhang Xuan. He was as small as an ant compared to him. How would this man be able to fight back? Zhang Xuan looked so weak!The young master sneered with absolute confidence, looking at Zhang Xuan as if his victory was already assured. "Well? It's not too late to beg and grovel at my feet!"The young master sneered with absolute confidence, looking at Zhang Xuan as if his victory was already assured. "
