Transmigrated Into A Book And Became A Heartthrob Male Protagonist - Chapter 2

“Dear, you need to sign a soul contract with me first. Black and white, a soul bond; no one can back out. Dear, signing the contract brings you one step closer to revenge.”

Ever since Lin Qing became a vengeful ghost, his mind held nothing but a single-minded obsession with retribution. He failed to detect the predatory, “kid-snatching” tone in the system’s voice. Hearing that he could take revenge, he said decisively, “Fine. I will sign.”

Lin Qing did not bother reading the fine print. Following the system’s instructions, he signed the contract. Immediately afterward, a sense of clarity washed over his mind, and a warm current surged through him, slightly dissipating the resentment clinging to his soul.

System: “Dear, plane transmission is beginning. You may experience slight dizziness; please be prepared.”

Lin Qing: [You are actually quite humane for a system.]

[Of course, dear. Systems like us, who work hard to complete main quests for experience points, care most about our host’s psychological well-being.]

[Dear, I am System Nuannuan. From now on, you are my host. After signing the contract, I can communicate with you directly in your mind.]

Lin Qing: [Good, I understand.]

[Ding-dong! Plane transmission initiated]

[Ding-dong! Plane transmission successful.]

[Dear, watch out!]

Before Lin Qing could adjust to the vertigo of the teleportation, he opened his eyes to see a hideous monster, half-spider, half-centipede with far too many legs, lunging toward him. Survival instinct took over. He rolled to the side, narrowly dodging the black spider’s attack.

The creature spat a glob of venom toward him. Lin Qing fled in a panic, realizing he was clutching a very expensive-looking sword. He yelled in his mind: [Nuannuan! Am I not a powerful male lead? Where are my powers? Tell me how to use them!]

[Dear, wait! Transmitting the world plot to you now.]

[Ding-dong! World plot transmission in progress]

In the chaos, Lin Qing began receiving the plot. During the process, a spray of venom hit his arm, corroding the skin. Gritting his teeth, he managed to scramble behind a large rock to hide and process the massive flood of foreign memories.

As the transmission finished, Lin Qing’s heart jolted. He spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at the sky, “You damn system! You played me!”

This was no cultivation world; this was clearly an nP novel world wearing the skin of a cultivation story. Hearing the noise, the venomous spider sprayed even more corrosive liquid toward his hiding spot.

“Master, be careful!”

An ink-colored figure flashed by, tackling Lin Qing to the ground. The figure held him tight as they rolled across the earth, narrowly avoiding the venom. Recalling the plot he had just received, Lin Qing’s face went dark. He kicked the man holding him away. “Get lost! Don’t touch me!”

Immediately, his chest tightened, and he spat blood again. His vision went dark, and he collapsed.

“Master!” The man in ink-colored robes grabbed the sword at his waist, flashed in front of the attacking spider, pierced its hardened shell, and crushed its skull.

When Lin Qing woke up again, he found himself lying on a freezing bed of ice. Beside his left hand, a handsome young man was leaning over. Seeing Lin Qing wake up, the youth approached anxiously. “Master, you are finally awake.”

Lin Qing took three seconds to piece together what was happening. Then, “Slap!” He raised his hand and sent the youth flying with a heavy blow.

The system screamed in his head: [Dear! How could you hit your own beloved disciple? This is a severe character break!]

[Shut up! This treacherous brat? If I don’t kill him now, he will only ruin me later.]

The system warned: [Dear! You will be punished for this!]

“Creeeeak” Lin Qing’s long sword scraped against the rock floor of the cave, sending out a trail of sparks.

[Warning! Host is severely OOC. Plot collapse detected. Forcing 100% Perfect Male Lead Character Mode for one hour.]

The electronic voice buzzed, and Lin Qing felt a wave of numbness wash over him. He slumped to the ground, feeling as limp as overcooked noodles.

This place was a Cold Spring Abode, rich in spiritual energy and ideal for a cultivator to recover. When he first woke up, the chill felt comfortable; now, he felt a strange coldness crawling up his skin from the ground. The icy air seeped into his pores, but instead of cooling him, it made him feel feverish and tingly. He could not control it; he wanted to pant!

Dammit!

[You bastard system, what is going on?]

He felt as if he had swallowed a mix of muscle relaxant and potent aphrodisiac.

System: [Dear, since you broke character, the system has to force you to follow the setting.]

Lin Qing bit his lip, desperately suppressing the moans trying to escape his throat. He cursed in his mind: [You liar! You tricked me! I want to go back! I am not being this male lead anymore!]

This was no overpowered male lead story; this was a world of restricted, bottomless, taboo adult fiction.

System: [I am sorry, dear. Unless you finish the male lead’s main plot and complete the world line according to the book’s content, you will remain in this world in your current physical state forever.]

Lin Qing wanted to scream more, but the brat he had sent flying earlier returned.

“Master, your disciple knows his mistake. I should not have been so overconfident as to enter the secret realm for treasure and anger the Demon Spider. Please forgive me.”

“Master, if you do not forgive me, your disciple will kneel here and refuse to rise until you do.”

Hearing this, Lin Qing let out a massive sigh of relief and slumped completely onto the floor. At least the brat outside thought he was being beaten because of anger and did not dare barge in. Once he endured this hour, he would be fine.

However, Lin Qing relaxed too early. He thought this body, soft as water and requiring someone to carry it, was ridiculous enough, but the reality of this world proved there was always something more absurd. Only ten minutes had passed, but Lin Qing felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of emptiness.

Lin Qing bit the tip of his tongue. The sharp pain helped him avoid becoming a total slave to desire. He pressed his cheek against the cold rock to dissipate some of the burning heat. From this angle, he could see his reflection in the mirror-like ice bed.

The man in the reflection wore white inner garments, his cheeks stained with a drunken flush. Those cold phoenix eyes were now filled with a seductive, pitiful charm. His lips were a crushed red, full and more vivid than if they had been painted with rouge.

The features were clearly his own, but the temperament, appearance, and every movement were worlds apart from his old self. Lin Qing almost did not recognize himself; this delicate, flirtatious man who looked more fragile than a woman was actually him.

Thinking about the plot the system provided, Lin Qing was terrified of what would happen if the beast kneeling outside saw him like this.

[Screw you! You are ruining me, you dog system!]

System: [Dear, although Nuannuan wants to respond to you, Nuannuan has no physical body and cannot satisfy your needs.]

Lin Qing was disgusted. [Get lost!]

System: [Dear, the System Mall has the items you need right now. Although you have no points, as a Newcomer Perk, you may choose two small items to trial for one hour.]

Lin Qing’s breathing was ragged and unstable. [Get… lost!]

System: [Understood, dear.]

“Master? What is wrong? Has the Demon Spider’s venom flared up again? Are you unwell?”
