Chapter 2: Awakening System, Receiving the Mission

“Ding dong, because the host has experienced immense humiliation…”

“Congratulations to the host for awakening the Law-level [Humiliation Value System].”

At this moment, Su Nian was still reeling from the suffocation and the humiliation of being stepped on after kneeling.

He could hardly believe his ears.

For 18 years, he had been waiting for his own golden finger.

Now, it had finally arrived.

But…

Why couldn’t it have come sooner?

Damn it!

With such thoughts, Su Nian, under the multiple influences of injury, suffocation, and regret, fainted.

On the other side.

Chu Tian, transformed into a horned demon, felt his power surge as if savoring a delicacy.

“Ding dong, absorbing humiliation emotions, Provocation Value +387.”

“Ding dong, total Provocation Value exceeds 500, system upgraded to two stars, host unlocks the ability to purchase more items and skills.”

“Ding dong, due to the system breaking through to two stars, reward advanced horned demon skin, which perfectly inherits the host’s power and won’t be detected by this world’s abilities.”

Chu Tian could only think of one word at this moment.

Awesome!

After days of preparation, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

As he had expected, the negative emotions during the previous battle were just appetizers; the main course was the forced kneeling to save one’s life after defeat.

In reality, as a human with the Provocation Value System, Chu Tian wouldn’t kill Su Nian.

After all, a dead person naturally wouldn’t produce negative emotions.

So, in the final stage, if the person before him still didn’t beg for mercy, he would let them go.

Which means… Su Nian knelt for nothing.

Chu Tian looked at the unfortunate challenger who had fainted and casually tossed him aside.

This was the trade route east of the Monster Forest, and someone would pass by soon to pick up this kid.

Then.

Chu Tian continued deeper into the forest.

As a horned demon, a creature that attracts adventurers’ attacks, he might have more to gain today!

Half an hour later.

Su Nian woke up from his coma.

The indentation in the ground from being stepped on clearly told him he was still in the same place, also narrating the humiliation that had been his.

Suddenly remembering something, Su Nian nervously looked around.

Seeing that the horned demon was no longer around, he calmed down.

Right.

Before he passed out, it seemed like he had awakened some system.

“System, system!”

“I’m here.”

Wow!

It’s real.

It’s just a pity it didn’t come sooner; then, he wouldn’t have had to kneel and beg for his life.

“Introduce yourself,” Su Nian said, as it was his first time having a system, and he hadn’t heard clearly what system it was when he was unconscious.

“Ding dong, this system is the [Humiliation Value System].”

“As the saying goes, knowing shame leads to courage. As long as the host feels humiliated, they can earn a certain amount of Humiliation Value currency, which can be used to purchase various items and skills to become stronger, and enhance one’s own power through Humiliation Value.”

“This system has a Law-level upper limit, allowing the host to break through to the Supreme God level in the current world, achieving immortality and the ability to create worlds.”

…

Humiliation Value System?

The more humiliation he feels, the more he can earn a reward currency called [Humiliation Value]?

What the hell!

This clearly doesn’t seem like a proper system.

In other words, perhaps the reason he awakened the system was because of his previous act of begging for mercy?

Even the way the system awakened was so bizarre?

“This system of yours is way too weak!”

After understanding the system’s meaning, Su Nian immediately felt dissatisfied.

“If I have to kneel and get my head stepped on again to get stronger, I’d rather not have this damn system,” Su Nian said, as if all his strength had been drained, leaning against the large tree behind him.

“Ding dong, this system is of the Law level, with the potential to elevate the host to the Supreme God level.”

Supreme God?

Su Nian felt a stirring in his heart.

The temptation of eternal life and godhood was enough to make anyone entertain such thoughts.

Money, power, and beautiful women were alluring, but compared to the allure of eternal godhood, they paled in comparison.

But…

He was unwilling to kneel and beg for mercy again after another defeat.

That feeling was just too unbearable.

Never again!

“Ding dong, the system has detected the host’s concerns and will block the acquisition of Humiliation Points in combat scenarios.”

“Ding dong, based on the host’s identity and experiences, the following are possible scenarios for acquiring [Humiliation Points].”

“Entering an academy as an inferior student and being mocked by students and teachers, thus feeling humiliated.”

“Returning home to laze around and being scolded by parents, thus feeling humiliated.”

“Wearing women’s clothing and handing out flyers in the city square.”

“Entering a slave dance hall, wearing a dance dress, and dancing for others to admire.”

“Wearing a dress to become an idol and performing in the city square.”

“Wearing a dress and pretending to be a girl, only to have your true identity discovered by everyone.”

Wait, wait!

What kind of nonsense is this?

The first two are somewhat understandable, but they seem ineffective.

But why do the later ones all require wearing women’s clothing to gain Humiliation Points?

“Apologies, given the host’s current character panel and experiences, the scenarios for acquiring Humiliation Points outside of combat are limited.”

As soon as the system finished speaking, the character panel appeared.

Name: Su Nian

Gender: Male

Height: 168

Combat Power: E-

Charm: 71 (A short, delicate-looking young man)

Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (31% mastery)

Damn it!

Even though I’ve awakened a system, why is it so difficult to use?

And it claims to be a Law-level system with high potential, capable of elevating me to godhood.

Forget godhood.

Defeating that horned demon is already a challenge.

Thinking of the endless humiliation that lowly horned demon brought him, Su Nian’s desire for revenge grew stronger.

“Ding dong.”

“Detecting the host’s strong desire for revenge, a mission is hereby issued.”

A mission?

Being able to accept missions means there are rewards.

Su Nian felt a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps the issuance of missions could change his current predicament of slow progress.

He had to become stronger and defeat that horned demon.

Only then would it not affect his “Path of the Spirit.”

The Path of the Spirit, also understood as the “Dao Heart” in this world, could be damaged if defeated, making it difficult to improve one’s strength.

“Mission: Defeat the horned demon that humiliated the host. Upon success, reward with an S-level self-selectable combat talent.”

Hmph!

Even without the mission, I would have defeated that damn horned demon!

But since there’s a mission, that’s even better.

Defeat that lowly horned demon, gain an S-level self-selectable talent, and from there, dominate the world, collect beautiful women, and reach the pinnacle of life.

“Ding dong, a time-limited reward has been triggered. The host can choose to transform into a woman with maxed-out charm, making it easier to obtain humiliation points. Additionally, the host’s sensitivity to humiliation will be multiplied by ten.”

Turn into a woman?

No way!

Isn’t the key to success in this other world to conquer the kingdom’s princess, the divine nation’s saintess, and the beautiful sword saint?

If he became a woman, how could he possibly have beautiful women by his side?

“Ding dong, apologies, the host’s concerns have been noted.”

“The transformation will be undone upon successfully completing the task of defeating the horned demon. However, if the task is failed, the transformation effect will become permanent.”
