[The story takes place in a parallel world with few real world place names. So please do not bring it into reality.]
June 12, 2011.
This is the second month since Chen Pingsheng came to this parallel world.
Although this is parallel world, the gap between this world and his previous world is not that big, and the similarity of basic technology and historical process is very similar.
The original owner of this body also had the same name as him Chen Pingsheng. As for his previous life, just forget it there was nothing worth taking about it.
The original owner of this body died at the age of 23 due to depression, anxiety, and several other mental health issues. He scored 428 on the college entrance examination. As the eldest son in a poor family, he took on the responsibility of supporting his family from a young age, especially for the sake of his younger sister's future. Still, he was a little more ambitious than most and eventually came to Beijing in search of a better life.
To be honest, his efforts weren't entirely in vain. He spent time working in construction and doing various labor jobs, managing to earn a bit for himself and his family. But over time, the harshness of society dulled his ambition. In the end, he passed away and that was when Chen Pingsheng inherited this body.
As for what he did during those two months, being a transmigrator with a quick wit, he opened a USD account at the Bank of China, converted all the original owner's money into US dollars, and wired it to Mt. Gox.
On April 14, he spent 22,200 USD to buy Bitcoin at 0.96 USD each, but didn't bother transferring them or generating private keys, thinking it would be too troublesome.
Then, on June 8, he began selling Bitcoin at a price of 18 USD, and by June 9, he had successfully sold all of it.
He made 531,875 USD, or 3,457,188 yuan, from selling 23,125 BTC. However, due to safety concerns, he reported it as other income and voluntarily paid a 20% tax. After taxes, he has 2,794,610 yuan in his Bank of China account.
But at this time, he was in a daze in his bed, not caring about the amount he earn through his "Hardwork".
His mind full focus was on line of golden words that appeared in front of him.
First, the introduction.
[King of Curses System
Host Name: Chen Pingsheng
Age: 23
Other World: System will randomly select
Post-apocalyptic World for host to travel
Newbie gift pack: Obtain the power of Roymen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen World.
(Note: There will be consequence after obtaining the power which may even effect the world just by your existence. Example, curse energy will be active in this world.)
System will not exist after host makes his decision. Please choose carefully Host.]
"Hiss... First I transmigrate to this world, and now a system?" Chen Pingsheng muttered, staring at the glowing panel in front of him, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief.
After reading the panel, Chen Pingsheng fell silent, lost in thought. A trace of concern flickered in his eyes as he asked "System... if I obtain Sukuna's power in another world, will it affect this one?"
The system responded calmly:
[Even if you gain Sukuna's power elsewhere, your presence in this world will gradually awaken cursed energy. It won't happen immediately, but over time, cursed spirits will begin to manifest.]
Chen Pingsheng's brows furrowed. The corners of his mouth tightened slightly.
"How long until a special-grade cursed spirit is born?" He asked.
[If you obtain Sukuna's power in this world today, it would take about one to two years for a special-grade cursed spirit to appear. However, if you gain that power in another world, the time will depend on how long you remain in this world afterward.]
"Not bad... System, select a world for me" Chen Pingsheng said after a moment of thought.
[Searching for a suitable world for the Host... Match found. World name: B40096 Apocalyptic World. Do you wish to travel now, Host?]
A spark lit up in Chen Pingsheng's eyes.
"Of course, I'd love to..."
Before he could finish, his body was engulfed in light and vanished from his bedroom.
He reappeared in a dilapidated house. The room was thick with dust and cobwebs, clearly abandoned for years. It was obvious no one had set foot here in a long time.
Chen Pingsheng moved cautiously through the house, checking each room in case someone was still living here. But after looking around for a while, he found nothing just old furniture and dust.
He walked over to the window and wiped the glass with his sleeve. Outside, a few zombies wandered back and forth along the broken street, moving slowly with no clear purpose. The sight made the place feel even more lifeless.
"System, open the newbie gift pack!" Chen Pingsheng said with barely contained excitement. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled at the chance to obtain Ryomen Sukuna's power?
[Obtaining Ryomen Sukuna's power. You might want to brace yourself Host, it could be a bit painful.]
Chen Pingsheng took a deep breath, his eyes burning with determination.
"I'm ready. A man with great responsibility can't be afraid of a little pain. Bring it on, System!"
"Urgh!" He gasped as his muscles seized up, twisting violently. A searing pain shot through his head like something was being carved directly into his brain. His eyes rolled back, body trembling as the agony reached its peak.
[Anesthesia injected. Goodbye, Host! And Best of Luck.]
As the system's golden words flickered and faded, Chen Pingsheng finally lost consciousness, collapsing into a deep sleep.
(Note: He not only get Sukuna power, he also got his battle experience.)
After some time, Chen Pingsheng slowly opened his eyes. But instead of his usual black pupils, he now had four glowing red ones two where they should be, and two more just beneath them. A strange sensation on the back of his neck made him reach behind, only to discover... a mouth.
"Not bad... not bad! I even got the Ten Shadow Technique for free! Hahahahaha!"
Chen Pingsheng laughed excitedly, his voice overlapping from both mouths, echoing with madness and thrill.
After a moment, he calmed himself and forced the extra mouth shut. The additional eyes faded, leaving behind two faint cracks beneath his normal eyes.
After getting up, he brushed the dust off his clothes and took a look around at the nearby buildings and the areas where zombies were roaming. Thankfully, there weren't too many out on the street and the few harmless, clueless ones were quickly taken care of by the Divine Dogs, Black and White.
"Huh…That was fast. I thought it'd take at least a day, but it's only been twenty minutes and the cursed energy is already building up," Chen Pingsheng muttered, his gaze fixed on the western district, where a thick concentration of cursed energy was steadily gathering. "At this rate, the first cursed spirit will show up in a few days."
He narrowed his eyes. "Must be a lot of people over there. For that much negative emotion to leak out… they're probably dealing with something troublesome."
A brief pause. Then, with a shrug, he turned away.
"Not my problem."
He walked casually through the apocalyptic world,his Divine Dogs trotting silently by his side like loyal shadows.
After a few minutes, a woman came running toward him clothes torn, blood at the corner of her mouth, her cheeks swollen and bruised.
She looked quite miserable and pitiful.
Two men were chasing her from behind, faces full of lust and malice.
Spotting Chen Pingsheng, her eyes lit up. She made a quick decision and rushed straight at him.
The woman clung to his arm and cried out to the men chasing her "Brother, please save me! They're trying to kill me!"
Chen Pingsheng glanced at her, expression flat.'Wow… vicious woman. She's really using me as a human shield.'
One of the men stepped forward, gripping a baseball bat."Kid, be smart and hand her over."
"Yeah," the other added, grinning. "Do that, and we'll let you walk away."
Chen Pingsheng stared at them, deadpan.
'What kind of shitty plot is this? Third-rate hero saves a third rate damsel from third rate villains. Whoever wrote this crap should be killed.'
Of course, he didn't say that out loud. Instead, he looked at them and spoke in a calm tone.
"I've got nothing to do with her," Chen Pingsheng said flatly. "We don't even know each other. Do whatever you want."
Still, his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't like being used, even if he didn't show it.
Just then, another man stepped out from a side alley. He was fat, greasy, and held a pistol.
"Why waste time talking?" the man barked. "Keep the woman alive. Kill the guy."
"Got it," one of the others replied, raising his bat with a grin.
The two men didn't waste any more words and rushed at Chen Pingsheng. The woman had already taken the chance to run.
As they swung their bats at his head, he didn't even move, flinch or blink. They thought he was too scared to react.
A second later, black and white jumped at them with a sickening crunch, both of their heads were ripped clean off.
Their bodies dropped to the ground like sacks of meat.
The fat man froze, eyes wide in disbelief as he stared at their corpses then slowly looked up at Chen Pingsheng, fear creeping into his face.
"Please do..."
Before the fat man could finish, his entire body was sliced into thousands of neat, bloody pieces.
Chen Pingsheng snorted coldly. "Do? This guy really thought I'd be kind enough to spare him?"
He didn't even glance at the mess on the ground, because of Sukuna memory he didn't even feel anything by killing the fatty.
'Black, White go kill that woman.' He gave some simple order to divine dogs, and search two men to see if they have something valuable on them but as always he was unlucky.
After cleaning up the scene like a bandit, the Divine Dogs returned to his side. He gave them a simple wave, dismissing them.
With a thought, his figure vanished from the ruined streets and reappeared in his old, creaky bed.
Staring at the worn out ceiling of the small room, he sighed. I should really get a new house.
But with only 2.79 million yuan from the last Bitcoin sell-off, he couldn't afford anything fancy. The next big rise wouldn't come until 2013 Bitcoin would hit at least $1,000 by then but he didn't have that kind of time to wait around.
As for how he knew all this?
Ask anyone who's ever dreamed of being reborn. They'll tell you straight up, there's no need for these stupid questions.
[Note: Non-sorcerers can't see cursed spirits, cursed energy, or cursed techniques.]
