“How did I end up here?”
Su Yun opened his eyes groggily. Lying in bed, he looked around.
This had to be the home he’d lived in three years ago.
He’d moved out ages ago for the sake of work...
No!
When the Cavern Civilization invaded, Earth’s civilization fought back with everything it had. But the Cavern Civilization’s planetary weapon struck the surface from outer space, wiping out all of humanity.
He should’ve been dead.
So why was he in his home from three years ago?
Everything around him looked far too real to be a dream.
Had he somehow traveled back in time, to three years ago?
Su Yun went to the bedroom window and yanked the curtains open.
Sunlight he hadn’t seen in ages spilled into the bedroom and fell across him. It felt so familiar, so comforting.
He remembered that in two years and six months, humanity would be beaten back by just the Cavern Civilization’s vanguard, forced underground to build cities beneath the surface. They’d never see sunlight again.
He turned on the TV.
【News bulletin: An asteroid is expected to pass close by Earth in three years. There’s no need for concern, viewers. The situation is fully under control. Astronomy enthusiasts will be able to observe the largest asteroid of the century.】
“Click.” Su Yun turned off the TV.
The asteroid mentioned on TV was hiding the Cavern Civilization’s expeditionary force.
And the planetary weapon aboard it was what had destroyed humanity.
“Sigh...”
Su Yun sighed and lay back down.
What good would it do for him to be reborn three years in the past, all by himself?
Humanity across the world had no idea what was coming. What could he possibly do alone? Three years from now, they’d still face the destruction of the world.
The same cycle as his previous life would just repeat itself.
If only he had a system—a cheat-like power.
That would be perfect!
He’d do everything in his power, no matter the cost, to save the world!
“Ding! The host’s powerful desire has been detected.Savior System awakening.”
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Male
Abilities: None at or above E-rank.
Charm: 81 (a clean-cut, handsome boy)
...
“Holy crap!”
There really was a system!
Pale blue text appeared across Su Yun’s retina.
At the same time, several icon-like words appeared in the upper-right corner of his vision.
【Attributes】【Missions】【Shop】...
The attributes were obviously the information he’d just seen.
Su Yun tapped the Shop beside them.
【Shop】
AK-47 assault rifle — 20 currency units
Gene optimization serum — 1,000 currency units
D-rank ability — 3,000 currency units
S-rank ability — 1,000,000 currency units
One million doses of gene optimization serum — 50,000,000 currency units
Spaceship capable of carrying 1,000 people — 80,000,000 currency units
Planetary shield — 100,000,000 currency units
...
Su Yun skimmed past a whole lot of items in the shop and went straight to the bottom.
At last, he found what he wanted most.
A planetary shield!
As long as he could redeem it, he could activate the shield around Earth.
That would render the Cavern Civilization’s planetary weapon useless.
Then he could save Earth!
Su Yun was ecstatic.
He might usually be a carefree slacker, but with a chance to save Earth right in front of him, there was no way he’d give it up.
“All right, tell me. How do I get these currency units?”
Su Yun asked the system, brimming with confidence.
He was already imagining a future where countless girls gazed at him with stars in their eyes, all wanting to marry him.
If he succeeded in saving the world,
he’d be the hero of the world!
“The host must activate the Mission System and select a type of currency unit.”
【Missions】
At the system’s words, Su Yun touched the mission icon before him with his mind.
“Ding! Randomly selecting a mission type and currency for the host. Please wait...”
...
“Ding! The most suitable currency for the host has been selected: Humiliation Points.”
“As the saying goes, only after knowing shame can one find the courage to improve. Whenever the host feels humiliated, they’ll receive a certain number of Humiliation Points, and may also receive a random special reward.”
“Ding! Unique beginner mission issued. The host must dress as a woman and go to a convenience store to buy feminine hygiene products. Completing the mission will earn a beginner’s gift pack.”
“Based on the host’s currency type, the system has added a large selection of women’s clothing to the shop. Choose anything you like, free of charge.”
After hearing the system’s explanation, Su Yun was left dumbfounded.
What?
Why was the currency something as unreliable-sounding as Humiliation Points?
And the beginner mission was just as ridiculous.
It actually wanted him to dress as a woman and buy feminine hygiene products at a convenience store. What did that have to do with saving the world?
Come on!
He’d planned to use the system to save the world, not to make a joke of himself.
No way.
He couldn’t accept a beginner mission like that.
“Ding! The host must complete the beginner mission within two hours. Otherwise, the host will be considered to have abandoned the system.”
...
Fine.
Su Yun began carefully picking out an outfit from the women’s clothing.
If he was going to dress as a woman to save the world, he had to take it seriously.
“I’m doing this to save the world. The system’s forcing me to dress like this.”
After silently repeating to himself three times, “I’m doing this to save the world,” Su Yun opened the shop.
He had to admit, the clothes were finely made and used high-quality materials. If they were sold in a regular store, each piece would probably cost a fortune.
There were wigs, too.
If he had no choice but to go out dressed as a woman,
then at the very least, he couldn’t let anyone figure it out. He’d have to make sure he looked the part.
Su Yun tried on a few outfits in front of the mirror.
In the end, he put on a white women’s tracksuit top, tight jeans, and a shoulder-length wig with slightly curled ends. He topped it off with a yellow hat.
Only when even Su Yun couldn’t spot a trace of his former appearance in the girl staring back at him did he nod in satisfaction.
