Chapter 1

Endless Void…

"Where… am I…?"

Mo Xing floated, opening his eyes and looking around the space with great confusion.

"Wasn't I watching the premiere announcement of Heroic Union 3: Thunderbolt? How did I end up here all of a sudden?"

Mo Xing was really puzzled…

The Heroic Union series was an anime he had been following for a long time, and today was the premiere announcement for Heroic Union 3.

Thinking about how Heroic Union 3 was about to air, Mo Xing couldn't help but get excited.

An excited heart, trembling hands…

Especially after seeing the preview where Liang Bing called out 'Rose,' Mo Xing was even more excited!

Liang Bing was coming back!

Did that mean Kai Sha and He Xi would also return?

Throughout the entire Super Soldier Academy and Heroic Union series, the fans of the Three Kings were numerous!

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the number of fans for each of the Three Kings could rival that of Angel Yan!

And Angel Yan had the title of "The most beautiful Yan north of the galaxy!"

It's easy to imagine how many netizens were thrilled by this news!

And Mo Xing was one of them!

Back then, when Kai Sha was blown up, and He Xi and Liang Bing entered the black hole one after another, many netizens were heartbroken.

Some netizens even said that if the Three Kings didn't come back, they would send the director some "local specialties"; such were the words spoken.

And now, in Heroic Union 3, the wishes of many netizens were finally about to come true!

However…

Mo Xing looked at his transparent hands and the pitch-black space, and dejectedly lowered his head…

Clearly, Mo Xing realized he was already dead.

And he didn't even know how he died.

Not only that, he didn't know where he was either.

What made Mo Xing particularly upset was that Heroic Union 3 was about to air, and he had died…

How cruel was this to Mo Xing…

He was about to see the return of the Three Kings he had been longing for, but he had to leave first…

…

After a period of dejection, Mo Xing looked around the pitch-black space, feeling at a loss.

"Seriously, where is this place? Even if I'm dead, at the very least, someone should guide me to reincarnate!"

"Why is everything around me pitch-black, with nothing at all? What's going on?!!!"

Mo Xing was now very agitated.

Humans are social creatures; if a person is left alone in a sealed, dark space, it wouldn't take long for them to go insane!

Because such an environment is even more terrifying than a solitary confinement cell!

After all, even in a solitary confinement cell, someone brings you food, but where Mo Xing was now, there was no light at all except for the darkness.

The only source of light was his own transparent soul body!

How could Mo Xing accept this…

"Cough, cough…"

…

Just as Mo Xing's last bit of rationality was about to completely dissipate, a voice sounded.

"Cough, cough, um…"

"Human, hello…"

Mo Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he loudly responded, "Who is it? Come out quickly and tell me where I am!"

As soon as Mo Xing finished speaking, a light ball appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this light ball, Mo Xing instantly became excited.

"System?"

Hearing Mo Xing call it that, the light ball remained silent for a moment before flashing twice, indicating its acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Mo Xing was even more delighted, saying, "Haha, what a windfall! I didn't expect to encounter a system!"

"I say, what kind of system are you? Is my current state your doing? Can you send me back?"

"Also, are you going to bind with me and lead me to the peak of life? Come on, I'm ready!"

After saying this, Mo Xing spread his arms, ready to welcome the system into his embrace.

Hearing Mo Xing's questions and seeing his posture, the light ball said somewhat guiltily, "Um, you… you're not my host, and I can't send you back…"

Hearing this, Mo Xing looked at the light ball with a dark expression.

"So, my death is really related to you, right?"

Mo Xing had certainly seen this kind of situation before!

Although he had only seen it in web novels, Mo Xing never imagined that such a thing would happen to him!

As an IT otaku, he had read plenty of web novels, so when the system appeared, Mo Xing was prepared for the possibility of an unjust death!

The reason was that the system didn't appear at the beginning but only when he was about to break down!

"Um… I'm very sorry, it was my mistake that caused you to…"

"Hmph~"

Hearing the timid voice of the light ball, Mo Xing let out a cold laugh and crossed his arms, staring directly at the light ball.

"You should know about my situation, right?"

Mo Xing said coldly, "I'm not an orphan. Although I'm not an only child, I'm the only boy in my family. By making me die unjustly, you're cutting off our family line!"

The low and cold voice made the light ball visibly tremble.

Mo Xing was right; although he wasn't an only child, he was indeed the only boy in his family.

To be honest, not everyone wants to be transported to another world because not everyone is indifferent to the world they were born into!

What was supposed to be a perfect family was ruined by this system in front of him!

Hearing it say he couldn't go back, and that he wasn't its host, how could Mo Xing not be angry!

If the system was here to bind with him, then perhaps with its help, even if he really did get transported, he might still be able to return to his original world in the future.

But now, that "future" was cut off!

At this moment, a little girl inside the light ball muttered tremulously, "What should I do? If… if it finds out, I'll definitely be erased and sent back to the factory…"

"It's all my fault for being careless and choosing the wrong host, causing a family to break apart. What… what should I do…"

…

Mo Xing looked at the flickering light ball, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He knew that the system in front of him wouldn't bind with him, so in his current state, the light ball must compensate him, or it would certainly face some punishment!

"Did you really think I wasted all those years reading web novels? Now comes the so-called negotiation phase!"

"Even if you're a system, since you've put me in this state, I'll make sure to get something out of you!"

…

"Alright, stop pretending to be dead. Tell me, how do you plan to handle me?"

"Or, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Mo Xing stared intently at the light ball, which had stopped flashing, preparing to make a big demand.
