His bad decisions had gotten him to the worst place he could have imagined when he was younger, and every day of his life felt miserable. He intends to commit suicide in a quick and painless manner, jumping off the roof of the 100-story building with his eyes closed and succumbing to his miserable fate. He dies successfully, but awakens to find himself floating in a void, greeted by a divinely inspired digital system. In exchange for his eternal submission to the system's conditions, the system offers him a chance at a new and more fulfilling life. Daisuke, against his better judgment, accepts the offer and is transported to another dimension of reality. He would be assigned difficult missions and put through impossible trials there, which would later be revealed to be a path to greater life and immortality. ******* This is a system novel set in medieval times with mythical characters and situations. It is NOT a harem, and there are very few sexually explicit scenes. My world building and character development aren't the best, but they will improve with time. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please consider supporting, reviewing, commenting, and following. Have a good time!

Fen Lian was an ordinary young man who was known as useless trash because he could not cultivate on his own among the others. Fen Lian was often insulted or alienated because, out of the many disciples, he was the only one who was slow in grasping knowledge. When the others advanced, he would only stay at the same level as before, with no improvement at all. Even though he had practiced regularly just like the others. But all that changed when he found an ancient book that he believed belonged to his father or grandfather in ancient times. The book contained ancient moves that were rarely learned by today's warriors. Thanks to studying the contents of the ancient book he found, Fen Lian is now a great cultivator because of the book he found. There was even one skill that Fen Lian had successfully mastered. It was called the Nine Sun Style, and it was known to be extremely difficult. It was so difficult that no one could master it. "I didn't expect that I could have this knowledge; it's fortunate that I met the ancient book that I had despised badly. Now it's actually very valuable to me," said Fen Lian while hugging the worn brown-bound book. "You'll see, I'll prove it to all those who have insulted me as a hobo. I'll make sure they bow in shame at my strength now!"
