At the age of twenty, the handsome villain Lu Ming was tortured to death as a human experiment.
These people cut open his body inch by inch, then sliced away his flesh piece by piece. In the end, the male protagonist, Li Chuan, threw him into a pack of mutated dogs.
He had once been a brilliant and dazzling heir from a prestigious family. However, after being framed by Li Chuan, the commercial rival of his family, he lost both of his parents one after another.
At that time, he was only sixteen.
After losing the protection of his parents, he was forced to shoulder the enormous family business all by himself. His former relatives and friends, as well as everyone in the company, began eyeing the position greedily.
At seventeen, he was hit head-on by a heavy truck. The entire right side of his body and both of his lower limbs were left paralyzed.
His face was severely disfigured. Almost everywhere he could see were densely packed stitches holding his skin together.
He had been so handsome once. He had been an elegant and striking young man, but unfortunately, the beautiful, alluring light in his peach blossom eyes had long since disappeared.
Paralyzed and confined to his home, Lu Ming had lost even the most basic ability to care for himself. These people locked him inside his bedroom and forced him to sign and stamp his fingerprints on documents transferring his shares.
Whenever he refused, he was beaten and tortured.
The only meal he received each day was moldy slices of bread that no one knew how long they had been spoiled, along with a bowl of thin white porridge in which he could not find a single grain of rice.
That tiny amount of food was the only thing keeping him alive, dragging out a life that was worse than death.
Then, when he turned eighteen, the apocalypse arrived.
After awakening a wind-type supernatural ability, Lu Ming forced himself to hold on to the last bit of strength he had. Using his ability to control his body, he killed everyone who had tortured him before finally passing out.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on a bed inside a research institute.
Although he tried to escape several times during that period, he was always captured and dragged back by the people sent by the male protagonist, Li Chuan.
“Because Villain Lu Ming killed several doctors who had made enormous contributions to researching the virus while he was on the run, it is only natural that he would not have a good ending, right?”
After completing her mission and taking a satisfying shower, Bai Yan lay on her bed and flipped through the apocalypse romance novel that had mysteriously appeared on her bookshelf a few days earlier.
“This author has to be kidding me. What a complete master of writing crap!”
She opened the novel’s cover information once again.
There was nothing there.
The book had neither an author’s name nor reader reviews.
Annoyed, she shut off her phone.
Bai Yan was an assassin belonging to the White Bone Organization, a covert organization kept hidden by the state. It specialized in handling missions in the gray areas.
Everyone in this organization was an orphan. Each member had been trained as a top-tier assassin from childhood.
Every day, Bai Yan did nothing but train and carry out missions. Whenever she returned home to rest, her greatest hobby was reading novels.
Just as she angrily opened her phone screen again, a flash of white light suddenly appeared. It was as if some kind of force had grabbed her and pulled her inside.
“Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!”
Bai Yan rubbed her eyes after being dazzled by the blinding white light. Before she even had time to look around, she was startled by a voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.
“Welcome to the world of Apocalypse’s Pampered Love!”
Bai Yan’s mind went blank. She thought she was dreaming.
“It’s not a dream! You have been chosen to transmigrate into this world!”
“Transmigrate? What the hell? And who are you?”
“I’m your System 0315!”
“This is the world of that piece of crap I was reading?”
“Oh, come on. Just tell me, do you want to save Lu Ming or not?”
The moment Bai Yan heard that name, her brows immediately furrowed, and she asked anxiously,
“Where is he now?”
“If you go there as an ordinary person, you definitely won’t be able to save him. Humans have already evolved supernatural abilities. I need to upgrade you first.”
Another flash of white light appeared.
Bai Yan was brought to a place that resembled a paradise.
She curiously looked around. Following the instructions of the voice in her mind, she first arrived in front of a gigantic peach tree.
“See those two golden peaches up there? Those two can cleanse your meridians and marrow. Take them together with the water from that well. They can remove all the impurities from your body and open up…”
“I know this! That’s how it always works in novels.”
She tried using her thoughts to pluck one of the golden peaches. To her surprise, she actually succeeded.
“After eating it, go soak in the hot spring over there for three days.”
Although Bai Yan was anxious inside, she obediently followed the instructions and did everything one step at a time.
During those three days in the hot spring, 0315 had already told her everything she needed to know.
This place was a small world given to her by 0315. She could enter it at any time simply by using her thoughts.
Inside the small world was a huge mansion that resembled a palace, a gigantic peach tree, a well, and a hot spring that was just large enough for two people.
Peach blossom trees surrounded the area. Green grass covered the ground beneath her feet, while an endless sea stretched out at the very edge.
0315 told her that there was nothing in the sea. It was simply the boundary of this small world.
Although there did not seem to be much here, the actual area was enormous.
Bai Yan had originally planned to cultivate some land and grow things herself, but 0315 gave her an even better option.
It was a system panel connected to this small world.
The panel contained an enormous inventory with practically everything imaginable. Food, drinks, daily necessities, clothing, vehicles, tools, and countless other things were all available.
The supplies inside were unlimited. She could use as much as she wanted.
At the very bottom was a button labeled “Infrastructure.” It was grayed out. According to 0315, it would only become available once her supernatural abilities reached Level 10.
Finally, there were the remaining pink peaches on the peach tree and the two eggs placed in front of her.
The pink peaches were used to increase the level of her supernatural abilities. The tree produced only three each day. There were only two golden peaches, and once they were eaten, they were gone for good.
As for the two eggs, since the animals outside had also mutated, and humans with high-level supernatural abilities generally had tamed mutated animals by their side, 0315 had prepared these for her as well.
As soon as the three days were over, Bai Yan followed the instructions and devoured all three peaches on the tree in one go.
She summoned the system panel and opened the personal information section.
Name: Bai Yan
Age: 18
Height: 170 cm
Appearance: 98/100
Health: 100
Supernatural Abilities:
“Absolute Healing and the abilities that come after Light are all derived abilities.”
Having three supernatural abilities was already enough to surprise her. She had not expected that their derived abilities would give her three additional abilities as well.
After all, according to the setting of this novel, even the protagonists could only possess one supernatural ability.
Bai Yan was a stunning beauty with striking and alluring features. Her skin was as pale and smooth as white jade. Because she exercised regularly, her figure was flawless, with not a single imperfection to be found.
However, because of the environment in which she had grown up and the countless assassination missions she had undertaken, her personality was exceptionally ruthless. She was the very definition of a beautiful but deadly woman.
Her slender, beautiful fingers tapped twice on the Light ability. According to the novel’s setting, supernatural abilities in this world were divided into three categories: elemental abilities, physical abilities, and special abilities.
