Transmigration

"Master, answer us!" Four people surrounded a large screen. Anyone who knew them would have been astonished: one was the woman ranked second on the assassin leaderboard, codenamed Mist. One was the skinny man ranked seventh, codenamed Ten Thousand Faces. One was the fat man ranked ninth, codenamed Clone. The last was the burly man ranked tenth, codenamed Fa.

Their master, Luo Tian, ranked first. This operation had been plotted to kill all five of master and disciples, but Luo Tian's vigilance had quickly exposed it as a trap. He had protected all four of them by himself, only to become trapped inside the building.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Master!"

"You all... go back, all right? Don't worry about me. This can be considered punishment for my sins. In the future, don't follow my old path. The blood on your hands can still be washed away if you quit while you can. Remember, when you kill, you must be prepared to be killed..."

A long time passed, and then the screen fell silent.

"Master!"

The four of them shouted in unison, but there was no response from the other side. They also knew they could never simply retire, because anyone who made it onto the assassin leaderboard, even the last-ranked person, had killed at least a hundred people.

The top ten were even more terrifying. It had taken Luo Tian twenty years to reach first place, and the total number of humans he had killed exceeded one hundred million!

Thus, Luo Tian's codename was Plague.

In the assassin world, Luo Tian was called inhuman. After all, he could kill a hundred people in one day without being discovered. It was something no one could possibly imagine accomplishing, yet Luo Tian had done it.

"Hah! Huff, huff..." Luo Tian gasped for breath. The building was filled with smoke, and he could not breathe too much of it, or he would die faster.

Ding!

A chime reached Luo Tian's ears. He was greatly surprised that someone had approached him without him noticing.

"Hello, Luo Tian. You are already dead."

Luo Tian was not surprised. He simply asked, "My disciples are doing well, right?"

"Yes, they are doing very well."

But he did not say the latter half: they had all died horribly and none had lived beyond three years after Luo Tian's death.

"By the way, where is this?" Luo Tian was somewhat puzzled. Everything here was a vast expanse of white. It did not look like hell, yet Luo Tian believed that he would definitely go to hell after death.

"You are fortunate. A very irresponsible god randomly selected you to be revived and gave you a system as well."

"A system? Like the ones in novels?"

"That's right. This system has no restrictions. As long as you make a wish, any wish can be granted. But because that power is too overpowered, some rational beings added various restrictions."

"Why?"

"What do you mean, why?"

"I killed so many people. Why was I chosen? And why was I given something so overbearing?"

"Nothing special. Because all the people you killed practically gave up this opportunity for you."

Luo Tian was even more astonished. He had killed so many people, yet those people did not hate him? No matter how he thought about it, that was not normal.

"But they specified that you can only be reborn in Douluo Continent. And this Douluo Continent does not contain any of the original work's characters. It really is quite baffling."

Could Douluo Continent be an extremely dangerous world? Or was there something there that I can't handle? Luo Tian thought, but the voice gave him no time to think.

"Bye-bye."

As it spoke, a burst of light covered Luo Tian's entire body. When Luo Tian next opened his eyes, he realized someone was holding him.

Once Luo Tian came to his senses, he knew he had been reborn as a baby. Although he did not know who the woman holding him was, there was an eighty percent chance that she was his mother in this world. Luo Tian wanted to properly experience the love of family.

Luo Tian had been an orphan in his previous world. Whenever he was bullied, the orphanage director sided with the other children. At school, the teachers always favored children from powerful and influential families. So one day, Luo Tian completely erupted. He picked up a knife and killed everyone in the school, but because of his acting, no one suspected that he had killed them all. Those adults ignored the fact that just because he was a child, it did not mean he was incapable of anything.

Bang!

The wooden door was pushed open by a man. He rushed over to see the newborn baby.

"Darling, you're back?"

Suddenly, the man drew a knife. Seven Soul Rings appeared around it, all of them yellow.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Chaotic Kill Slash!"

"What are you doing?!" In an instant, the woman holding Luo Tian also summoned her martial soul. It was an awl, and like the man, she had seven yellow Soul Rings.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Thousand Needles Thorn Stab!"

They fought to a draw, but their wooden house was reduced to ruins.

Suddenly, a light shone upon the woman, and Luo Tian lost both his hearing and sight.

"Tang Yutian! What are you doing?!"

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm going to kill her and make Plague experience the pain of losing family!"

"He's still young. As long as he has never experienced familial love, killing his mother in this life will not cause him any pain!"

"I don't care! I want him dead!"

"He dies? Then what? As long as he endures the trials of the Eighteen Levels of Purgatory, he can still reincarnate as a human!"

"But if we don't kill him while he's young, he has a system. We might not be able to defeat him then!"

"I say, Tang Yutian, are you really stupid or just pretending? We gave him the system. With a few permissions, we can make Luo Tian wish he were dead! The kind where he can't even die."

"..."

"All right, I'll listen to you, BOSS. But I must be the one to kill Luo Tian."

"Fine." The possessed woman said with a smile, but that was not what he was thinking.

"More than seventy-five million people want to kill Luo Tian with their own hands, myself included. How could a minor figure like you possibly kill him? If I hadn't been careless, you really might have killed Luo Tian."

After that, the man collapsed to the ground, proving that Tang Yutian had returned.

"Luo Tian, the only one who can kill you is me."

The unknown person called BOSS also left. The woman he had possessed collapsed to the ground as well, still holding Luo Tian tightly in her arms.

After they had all left, the house returned to normal, and Luo Tian recovered as well. Of course, BOSS had cautiously erased the memories of all three of them.

That night.

"Wake up, honey. Wake up." To avoid waking Luo Tian, the man gently shook the woman's body, trying to wake her.

"Mmm... what is it?" After waking up, the woman gently placed Luo Tian on the bed.

"Phew, good thing we didn't wake the child. But why did I fall asleep?" the woman asked in confusion.

"Honey, I'm even more confused. I was just about to kill a Dark Gold Dreadbear when I suddenly woke up at home."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Husband, have you decided what to name our son?"

"I hope our son will stand tall and become a capable person. I wanted to call him Luo Tian, but I hope even more that he grows up healthy and safe, so I've decided to name him Luo Jiankang."

"That's a good name! But what if our son doesn't like it?"

"Then we'll wait until he wakes up and ask him ourselves."
