Nox groaned as his face met directly with the dirt for the second time within two days,
But this time it was not celestial grass or glowing clouds.
It was mud. Cold, sticky mud. And it smelled like wet mushrooms and goat pee.
"Ugh… is this how Heaven's delivery system works? Or was that supposed to be teleportation?"
"Their services are gross."
He rolled over, coughing. His body felt… weird. Stronger, but like it was still loading. His vision spun, and somewhere in the background, goats were screaming.
Then-

[DING! SYSTEM ONLINE]
[SUPREME HAREM SYSTEM INITIALIZED]
Welcome, Nox.
You are now located in the JadeField village — an area suffering from spiritual drought, decaying crops, and weakening cultivation flow due to the blockage of its sacred spring.
Mission Received
[REDEMPTION TRIAL - ACTIVE]
1. Primary Objective: Establish a bond with at least one divine or semi-divine woman to stabilize your divine rank.
2. NEW Objective (Penalty Added): resolve the spiritual unrest plaguing the JadeField Village
Penalty Reason: Excessive inappropriate commentary, failure to show basic respect for divine protocol, and multiple violations of celestial etiquette (ex: "Boobs first, questions later").
Time Limit: 7 Days
Failure: Soul deletion and eternal mockery across 300 dimensions.
Note: This punishment has been manually approved by the Celestial Decency Committee.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"What?! Punishment?? For talking?"
"Is this system conscious? Can it hear my thoughts?"
"Because if so—I take back the boob comment. Mostly."
He waited for a reply. Nothing.
Just glowing text and judgmental silence.
"I preferred the hot silver-haired beauty from before…"
"Now I'm stuck with a snarky system that sounds like he is my ex and threatens to erase me."
"Where's the upgrade option for customer service?"
A final [DING] appeared in his vision like a slap.
[Tip: Learn to behave. Or die trying.]
Nox stood up shakily, wiping dirt from his arms.
The place was creepy.
Half of the village looks abandoned. The building were cracked, moss covered.
[INFO UNLOCKED: Jadefield Village – Lower Veil Sector]
Once a flourishing spirit-farming village where divine spring water nurtured crops and cultivation alike.
Now weakened by a spiritual drought caused by a corrupted spring source.
Crops are withering, cultivation progress has stalled, and morale is crumbling.
Locals: Mortal farmers, semi-divine caretakers, retired cultivators, and the occasional grumpy spirit duck.
"So I'm in a divine slum. Great."
"Hey System… hello? Any divine babe supervisor I should be flirting with right now?"
No response.
The system was awake, but not talking. It was like he'd been dropped off while the interface was still rebooting.
He checked his body. Shirtless. Still muddy. But his skin looked cleaner, stronger. His reflection in a puddle looked slightly more attractive than before. Huh.

"Hihihi, I am kinda pretty."he smirked at his reflection.
"Wait, I do have some some extra points ,where should I invest them ?"
Unbeknownst to him, someone was watching.
High above, near the remains of a crumbled shrine roof cloaked in mist, a pair of bright violet eyes blinked silently through the hanging vines. The figure didn't move. She simply observed—brows slightly furrowed, lips pressed in a thin line.
"Temporary Divine… Trash Tier... Libido nine-nine-nine?" she murmured.
"Ahnn….he has got it all I need"
