Emmy Hart, a frail and introverted high school student who has endured relentless bullying from his peers. In a world where strength determines survival, Emmy is constantly targeted—mocked, beaten, and humiliated. His only solace lies in music, particularly the songs of Juice WRLD, which he listens to through his worn-out headphones.

Emmy’s suffering reaches a breaking point when a brutal attack leaves him on the brink of death. But in his darkest moment, something awakens—a supernatural system that grants him abilities through daily quests. At first, he uses his newfound powers from the shadows, exacting revenge on those who tormented him. Yet, as he delves deeper, he discovers a hidden world beyond his school, filled with individuals who possess even greater abilities.

Manipulated and betrayed, Emmy is drawn into a war between factions far more dangerous than school bullies. With his past erased and his memory restored only by the system, he sets out on a path of vengeance, determined to dismantle both the villainous group that used him and the so-called heroes who stand in his way.

But as the battle escalates, he uncovers an even greater truth—a secret faction pulling the strings from the shadows. When they unite against him, wiping out his allies and imprisoning him, all seems lost. Yet, a girl from his past, the one person who secretly admired him, risks everything to set him free.

Now, with the full power of his system unlocked, Emmy must recover five elemental stones hidden in perilous locations, each granting him even stronger abilities. His final test lies in stealing the last stone from a high-ranking member of the neutral faction. But as he faces impossible odds, an unexpected ally emerges—another rogue thief seeking their own vengeance.

Together, they will wage war against a system built on lies. And Emmy Hart, once powerless, will rise from the shadows, ready to burn it all down.

    Had to give lowest star possible for stability of updates as this tofu believe called translator, is terrible all over place finally get good at time's of around one a day and think yeah great speed releases, then suddenly drop for no reason to if lucky one a month odd. (Money 💰driven translated as can tell by offer works at this time all pay to read seems.)Shame because story is really good fun and interesting like way melded together cultivation and magic to way works really well character's interesting and world and story is fun.Liked personally the animals for most part they great and follow novel well.  (Also see to inspire translater to release chapters and at decant speed when doing them shame drop to bad speed as soon finished tho.)Also liked the comics version too shame the about traslater translating it, as only free untill around chapter 21, then have to pay them if want read anymore. (Note only transulater changing author did for free seem.)So in all great series just shame about release scendual and not regular releases.(Not fully surprised if transulater soon makes so can only get this, if also pay seems kinda thing he would do, a shitty move, but as did for comic version and all. 😓)Thanks for releases that free when do them.

    I've read the first two chapters and I was surprised at how visceral the fight scenes were. The story itself has an intense vibe, I can clearly see what the author is going for. The grammar mistakes like maintaining auxiliary pronoun structure.

    Hope he wouldn't just get all those God-Tier skills from the start. Too OP makes those skills not precious and boring, because there won't be development for the skills. But, at least he's not Thomas, or Johnson, or Bick.

    Story seems pretty good so far with a more unique plot than most other cultivation novels. Only problem I have is the side characters who are very one dimensional.
