Chapter 1

WHY?

I tried my best.

I really tried my best.

But how many can kill their own parents without any past records of abuse or harassment?

Well, even those people don't. So how could I?

I really wanted to be an orphan though.

Their life experience is so rich. They are underestimated and then they shine.

Ai, why did God give me filthy rich parents?

Am I supposed to be a side character now?

Do I keep waiting for a ray of hope, my golden cheat to sparkle someday just as I wake up?

I peek at the beautiful naked lady sleeping beside me, my wife.

She didn't even know me, why didn't she break our engagement off? What a gold-digger! Even loving me so much without any deceitful schemes, how boring!

How absolutely boring!!

Should I try being a villain? I remember fainting after killing a cockroach once ahem, I mean I was told I had fainted in the hospital.

I keep thinking of this as I'm drinking vodka on the sidewalk. 

Why? you ask

Well, my parents are just that influential around here. How annoying.

Hmm, what's that?

A truck is coming at full momentum and a blind old lady is crossing the road. What a dumb bitch, heh, why walk outside like this when you can't even cross the road?

Wait!!

Isn't this my chance?

I look to the right, the truck is about to hit her.

This is my chance to... TRANSMIGRATE!!

TRUCK-KUNN~~ HERE I come!!

I run towards the road just as the dumb hag was about to get hit, bypassing the 'shocked' bystanders, and my guards.

I shove her with force.

"WAAAA"

She's letting out such a stupid cry, no wonder she's like this.

Yup, I did the 'righteous' thing. Now, my time to shine has come.

Gods have mercy upon my poor soul.

I wonder whose body I'll possess. 

Will it be a trashy young master? Will I be an underestimated orphan? or will I be someone whose mother got 'kidnapped' by their family because they chose a hobo for a husband. Ah, I don't care.

I'm off to a better world, yayy.

Eh, did I shove this hag in the wrong direction?

I look at the grim visage of truck-kun transmigrating that stupid hag before me, her brain a mush.

Oh well... oopsie?

I open my arms as truck-kun embraces me.

OOF

It's dark, I can't feel my body. My thought process is slowing down.

What's happening?

Am I... dying?

But... Why!!!

It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Author's note:

The good guy is dead, the bad guy is dead, the old hag is also dead, happy ending. 

Don't try transmigration guys! It's a damned scam - the dead guy

    Friend-O
    I'm fat.I know I'm fat.I used to be quite happy too.My father was a rich merchant after all.But after this strange guy looked at me with kind eyes in the gambling den once, I haven't had a single day of good sleep.It turned out he was a rich young master like me, so naturally, we hit it off.The guy was stupid, didn't know how to gamble but it all worked out pretty well between us.A few days later, he was poisoned, but he was still alive somehow. That seemed suspicious to me but I couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of creepiness. The dude just seemed entirely different since that day.I didn't think much of it since he was behaving even better than he used to but somehow my self-esteem started taking huge hits whenever I was around this dude.It felt like everyone was making fun of me and this guy was always the cause.I bore with it.One day, he asked me for me telling me he'll return a t

    The Vendor Who Sells Good Luck
    I'm a simple old man.Simple, because I've accomplished nothing much in my life as an adventurer. It was absolutely common.My son was also an adventurer. He had a lovely wife and a little daughter. He picked a place to hunt along with his wife one day and didn't return. My weary shoulders were burdened further with the weight of my granddaughter's responsibilty.But I endured and started a stall. I rummaged through everything that I had picked in my life, ranging from rusty swords, strong talismans, weird tokens, to medicinal pills and uncommon beast hides.It was going well, the marketplace was crowded. I was an honest dealer too.Until one day, a curious young man stumbled upon my sword and took it a hundred times cheaper than I had originally estimated, but since it wasn't getting sold, I decided I might as well sell it.Yeah, I'm old, and I guess my memory failed me.That man killed the emperor with that specific swo

    Fault
    The cultivation world is heartless.The cultivation world is cold.It's law of the jungle out there.I grew up cultivating hearing all these things.Were these lies? I still don't think so, but what does any of it matter when I have a sword piercing through me. The cold eyes of a kid 10 years younger than me and two realms below me in cultivations reflect my gloomy and miserable sight, on the verge of dying.My 'crime'? I didn't help him when he was bullied by my peer when he joined the sect.How stupid is this? Oh, how stupid it is that a whiny teenager is preaching to me about morals and regretting my actions when he's simply flexing his strength as well.Originally, this was the guy that had the lowest penchant possible for cultivation, a black spirit root. Why would I have cared about his well-being?Oh, you're asking how did manage to poke a hole through me if he's two realms below me? I DON'T FU**ING KNOW!It's his

    Master
    I'm a fiction made real.I'm a lie that turned the truth.A spirit cast into reality through the power of a thousand lies.I don't remember when I gained consciousness at first but the first thing I remember was the face of a filial young man that used my name to hide his inheritance."Mother, my master is very kind and helpful in his teachings. You don't have to worry about me, I'll definitely sort out all of our family's troubles by learning from him. It is my luck to be taught by him, otherwise how else would I have become so strong in such a short period." This was the first anchor of my existence, the voice of my first indirect disciple.It helped me sort out my thoughts as I became aware of who I was and the reason for my existence.Since then, I keep becoming more and more aware as the kids kept pinning their wildest immortal skills and manuals to have come out of my inheritance.I'm a free and unfettered old immortal, and also

It's just loneliness, a gloom that you carry within your heart everywhere, all the time.I... am an immortal. I've met the creators, the Gods that created the multi-verse, time has left a much deeper and crueler scar on their souls. Most of them are mad already.They do weird things for entertainment. They creep me out.Only the God of Life and God of Death deserve their title. Everyone else is a bitter loser, suffering from a disease I recently acquired, immortality.There's one God that transformed his entire body into that of a machine at first and then went to earth as a truck to transport people from there to different worlds.Another one created a whole new body of a teenager and built a fake set of memories for him where he was bullied and

    16th Generation Saintess(New Arc)
    A sect is a massive machine. It's not up to a single individual to make it work. From basic education, discipline, and determination, it's a sect's responsibility to make its disciples conform to its teachings and ideals.There's also a certain sense of freedom that one has in a sect. As youths, it's very natural that they have their internal hierarchies and hot-blooded competitions and as Elders, all we need to do is make sure there are no accidents or death and we're all set.To any sect, whether it be a small one with a hundred members or a heavenly sect with branches across the universe, the mission center is the oil that runs this machine and makes it work. Our revenue, vitality, and stability come from these very missions.But at any point in time, the missions in the outside world are limited and internal ones, that are given by our Elders or Chief disciples, although serve to motivate the disciples to make no difference to sects as entities.There

    16th Generation Saintess(2)
    As soon as the matter of her marriage was brought up, most of the elders present revealed miserable and dissatisfied expressions, fighting for the 'freedom of choice' of women in the sect or the noble name of 'equality'.After hundreds of arguments and debates over a few days, like whether traditions should hold when no one was satisfied with them, or whether old dead rules could bind the spirited and lively lives of the people running the machine.Imagining the wronged expression on the charming face of 'our' Saintess, we looked at each other and guessed the thoughts going on.Soon, we came to a uniform conclusion, we would ask the 'maiden' herself. If she wanted to marry, then so be it, even at cost of our hearts, but if she wasn't then the sect today would defy the rules of the past and advance forth into a brand new era.Few days were enough to redden the faces of this group, and so after a small fight over who would go over to ask her, we decided to
