Clutching his acceptance letter, Wen Ai climbed five flights of stairs, following the floor plan posted on the wall to locate his classroom. After a few steps, a rich sandalwood fragrance wafted from somewhere, offering a pleasant scent.
After taking a few deep breaths, the system in his mind softly remarked, "It's the fragrance wafting from the restroom."
Wen Ai's breath hitched; he hurriedly expelled the air from his lungs, walking briskly a fair distance before resuming normal breathing.
He tried to reason with the system, saying, "When we do the task, we should do it well. No pranks or anything like that."
System: "No, I want to."
Wen Ai: "..."
This temperamental system was the starting point of Wen Ai's memories. When he first woke up, surrounded by an endless darkness, he felt a sense of bewilderment. Flipping through his memories, he realized he couldn't recall anything except his name.
At this time, the system appears. It didn't reveal its willful nature at the beginning, and patiently explained to Wen Ai in a good manner that he was selected to play the role of a bully and had to travel through different worlds to complete the task of abusing the protagonist. There will be a score after each task, using a hundred-point system. If you score more than 85 points, you can claim rewards.
To convince Wen Ai, the system exaggerated the rewards, claiming that tasks like grabbing stars and moons were trivial, and they could fulfill any desire he could think of.
Wen Ai then asked, "Can you restore my memories?"
"You have amnesia?" The system paused, checked the data, and responded, "I'm not sure how that happened, but if you score above 85, restoring your memories will be a piece of cake."
And so, Wen Ai became the host.
This is the first world he opened, set in modern society, the main story revolves around the male protagonist, Xu Changzhou. Growing up in a single-parent household with an unknown father, Xu Changzhou has a cold and indifferent demeanor. During high school, a privileged and arrogant classmate, with powerful connections, particularly dislikes him, leading others to isolate him due to this classmate's background. Despite being accustomed to solitude, Xu Changzhou can't help but notice a honest girl who consistently smiles at him amid the turbulent atmosphere, resembling a refreshing stream. Unbeknownst to him, the female lead also harbors feelings for him, initiating a prolonged period of mutual secret admiration.
In his senior year, Xu Changzhou is brought back to the United States by his biological father, whom he has never met, and suddenly becomes the heir to a mysterious family. Three years later, his name is renowned in the underworld on the East Coast, coinciding with the female lead securing an opportunity to study abroad. The two are inevitably destined to meet. The upcoming plot follows a similar pattern to stories like "Domineering Love: Cold-hearted Boss Falls for Me" and "Dangerous Romance: My Boyfriend is a Gang Leader."
Having said that, Wen Ai is going to play the campus bully - Zhao Shuyan, who has been bullying Xu Changzhou since he entered the school as a freshman in high school. The Zhao family is all-powerful and in the limelight in the business world, and they are very concerned about their only child. When Wen Ai was teleported, he stretched his legs and realized that he was still a baby. At first, the system was babbling, saying that this would allow him to better assume the role. Later, it finally admitted that it was not skilled in operation and had mistaken the timing.
During his childhood, when Zhao's parents asked Wen Ai what he wanted the most, he earnestly replied that he wanted to grow up quickly. In response, he received an affectionate pat on the head from Zhao's father. Fortunately, life as the young master in the Zhao family turned out to be comfortable. Time flies forward fifteen years, and the plot finally begins.
