Do I Have To Be The Villain?

'Do I Have To be The Villain?' Lei, now Zhao Laohu, couldn't help but ask himself that question on numerous occasions. Cultivation and the pursuit of Martial Arts are the only ways of getting stronger in the World he was Reincarnated in. After taking over the Young Master's body, a new life begins, completely different from the previous one. Fortunately for him, the System given to him by the Goddess allows him to grow stronger and purchase powerful techniques by expending Villain Points gained by performing evil acts. Unfortunately for him, the System shackles his growth when it comes to the traditional ways of Cultivation and training. 'Enemies are coming for me because of what this Zhao Laohu did in the past. I need to grow stronger to survive but... To do this, I must rely on the System and commit evil... Which will, in turn, give birth to more enemies aiming for my neck.' Indeed, a conundrum. And that's without even counting the Hero destined to end the Villain's life. 'Tsk. Once again, I can't help but ask myself...' Do I Have To Be The Villain? Watch a master manipulator, actor, and liar do everything in his power and use everything he can as tools, whether foes or allies, for the sake of his goal.

Farmer To Assassin To Martial Artist?

I might be talented after all-

The words resonated inside Hougo's mind again and again.

***

I was born to be a Farmer, aimed to become a Martial Artist, but ended up an Assassin. 

At the age of ten years old, I left the farm I was born in, dreaming of living a life of training and cultivating. My parents were against it, but that was to be expected. They were born in the Jade City, but unable to cut in there, moved to the outskirts. They were desperate to survive in this tough world, you see. As a child born on the outskirts, I lacked the desperation that brought them there.

Rejected by Sect after Sect for my lack of talent, I kept going. I kept trying. Even copying the movements that I saw Martial Artists perform as part of their training. Even when I had to sleep on the streets and in the rain, I trained those movements.

Years passed.

It was all for nothing.
