It's over!
I'm BBQ'd, screwed! Roll the credits!
Qin Feng cursed the heavens in despair. Is this how you fucking play with people!?
A few days ago, he was still slaving away at a dead-end job to help his boss afford a new wife next year. But then, out of nowhere, he was reforged and reborn, becoming a fetus discreetly developing in his mother's womb.
After gathering information for a few days, he discovered that this wasn't his original world. It was a xuanhuan world called the Archaic Era.
Demons and monsters coexisted, immortals and mortals lived together. Great cultivators could split mountains, sever rivers, summon wind and rain, look down upon the world, and shake the Nine Provinces with a single word.
He had thought that a good-for-nothing slacker like him—so plain that even a dog wouldn't look back at him on the street, the kind of guy who'd accidentally stumble onto a shady website just by opening his browser—wouldn't survive past the third episode in this kind of world.
But the pleasant surprise came all too suddenly. His father was actually the patriarch of the Qin Family.
The Qin Family was filled with masters as numerous as the clouds and geniuses in every generation. Their might shook the Archaic Era... they were known as the number one family of the Archaic Era.
With such a powerful background, he could do whatever he wanted in the Archaic Era. There was no problem that shouting for Dad couldn't solve.
If there was, he'd just shout for Mom!
His dear mother's background was nothing to scoff at either. She was the Saintess of Taibai Immortal Mountain, one of the three great sacred lands.
And if shouting for his parents didn't work, the family still had ten ancestor-level experts holding down the fort. As long as he didn't provoke some freak protagonist with a plot-armor halo, he could play however he wanted.
A protagonist?!
He'd really been reading too many novels!
Qin Feng began to think he was overthinking things. How could a real world have that kind of cheater, where the efforts of several generations were worth less than a single fortuitous encounter for some young punk? It was utterly ridiculous.
But who knew that in the next second, he wouldn't be laughing anymore.
Today, his dear mother, whom he had yet to meet, drank a bowl of Immortal Elixir, meticulously prepared for her by the Qin Family, just as she always did.
This Immortal Elixir possessed a miraculous power. Drinking it could enhance a baby's potential; the more one drank, the stronger the potential became.
To ensure that this little baby of the Qin Family would have a head start right from birth, the family had even used a secret art to delay his birth by 100 years. 97 years had already passed, with only 3 more to go before he was born.

But today, before Qin Feng could even begin to absorb it, the energy from the Immortal Elixir was absorbed by something else. That something, still not satisfied, began to crazily plunder the energy within his own body.
His spirit instantly withered, leaving him more exhausted than spending twenty days alone with his girlfriend in his past life. It also made him realize that he wasn't the only one living here; there was a terrifyingly powerful little guy right next to him.
If it kept sucking him dry like this, he'd be toast in a few days.
"What kind of monster is this!?"
Qin Feng felt an immense terror in his heart, wanting to get away from this horrifying monster.
But in a place this small, there was nowhere to run. He could only watch helplessly as the energy in his body was siphoned away bit by bit.
Just then—
A voice echoed in Qin Feng's mind, "Ding, an Epic-level Chosen One has been detected. System activation commencing..."
"This monster is the protagonist!?"
Qin Feng was as stunned as a deer in headlights, a sense of panic inexplicably rising in his heart.
As everyone knows, being a protagonist's family member is a high-risk profession. You're either killed off to kickstart the plot or you hinder the protagonist's growth, only to end up sacrificed for the plot.
Even if you manage to survive until the end, you're mercilessly pinned down and rubbed into the dirt by fate until you're mentally and physically exhausted, never to rise again.
As if to confirm Qin Feng's suspicions, he could actually see his little brother's protagonist halo stats.

"Damn, is there any justice? Is there any law!?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but curse out loud, his heart letting out a marmot's scream.
He was clearly the transmigrator, so how did his little brother become the protagonist!?
Then what did that make him!?
The villain!?
"Ding, it has been detected that the Host is the Destined Great Villain. The Cosmic Super Invincible Great Villain System has been successfully activated!"
The air suddenly fell silent...
A certain handsome fellow had a giant "Damn" pop up in his mind.
Being the protagonist's twin brother was already dangerous enough, and now he had to be the Destined Great Villain? Wasn't this just actively looking for trouble!?
At the same time, he had to think about what to do from now on.
Don't be greedy, don't be lecherous, don't take disciples, don't start a sect. Lay low whenever possible, hide and don't show off. Don't provoke trash or geniuses. Don't save beautiful women in distress. Steer clear of anyone named Ye, Lin, Chen, Xiao, Chu, Qin, Wang, Su, Fang, or Zhou.
And the most important point: absolutely no "Jie Jie Jie" evil laughter.
"Ding, friendly reminder. Based on the system's analysis of the Host's personality, the Host is greedy, lecherous, loves to brag, and is overflowing with flamboyant charm—a true man in every sense. You would never be content to live in seclusion as a self-cultivating Honest Person."
Qin Feng couldn't take it anymore and started cursing up a storm.
"Damn, are you fucking kidding me? Doesn't your conscience hurt saying things like that? I've been a very caring person since I was a child, you know! When I saw the young lady next door bathing, I'd kindly help her open a window for ventilation. When I saw Old Wang next door wasn't home, I'd help take care of his wife. When I met a homeless young lady, I'd give her a warm home. My friends all say I have the potential of a prime minister, but I just want to be the boy next door, quietly helping the neighbors fix their plumbing..."
But just as Qin Feng finished listing a tenth of his virtues, the system's voice rang out again.
"Ding, the Great Villain's Novice Gift Pack has been successfully distributed."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the God-tier Halo, Emperor's Potential!"
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the God-tier Cultivation Art, the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art!"
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Mythic-tier Epic Item, the Full-Level Red-Haired Old Monster Experience Ticket!"
Emperor's Potential: A Mythic-tier Halo. Upon use, grants a tenfold bonus to all attributes (Note: The tenfold bonus will be adjusted based on the enhancement of base attributes).
Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Art: A Mythic-tier Cultivation Art. Born from the Big Bang, it possesses the power to seize the fortune of creation itself.
Full-Level Red-Haired Old Monster Experience Ticket: A Mythic-tier Epic Item. Upon use, you can experience the joy of being a full-level Red-Haired Old Monster, able to suppress anyone in the world who dares to call themselves invincible or claim to be undefeated (Note: Duration: 24 hours. Cooldown: ten years).
Qin Feng stared blankly at the item descriptions. Suddenly, being a villain didn't seem so bad after all.
If you're my brother, come and get me!!
No!
He was raised on Confucian ideals, a proper gentleman who grew up reading the Analects. How could he willingly stoop to being a villain?
"Suck, suck, suck, all you fucking know how to do is suck!"
Qin Feng saw that his little brother was still sucking his energy and planted a fierce kick right on his face.
Confucius said: "If a gentleman is not dignified, he will not inspire awe." (Note: When a gentleman makes a move, he must strike hard, otherwise he cannot establish his authority...)
