Chapter 1 - My younger brother is the Chosen One, destined by fate itself.

It's over!

Barbecue'd! Time to throw confetti and call it the finale!

Qin Feng cursed the heavens in utter despair.

"Are you freaking kidding me?! Who the hell messes with people like this?!"

Just a few days ago, he was still working hard, tightening screws to help his boss marry a new mistress next year.

But out of nowhere, he got reincarnated—reborn as a developing fetus, stealthily growing in his mother's womb.

After collecting some intel for a few days, he discovered this wasn't even his original world.

This was a fantasy realm called Wilderness Ancient.

Here, demons and beasts roam, immortals and mortals coexist, and the powerful can split mountains and redirect rivers, summon storms, and speak words that shake nations.

He originally thought that someone as plain and average as him—someone who could get lost just using a browser, someone so forgettable that not even a dog would glance back at him—wouldn't last more than three episodes in a fantasy world like this.

But surprise came faster than he could blink—

His freaking dad turned out to be the Patriarch of the Qin Clan.

The Qin Clan—full of masters, swarming with geniuses, revered across the Wilderness Ancient Realm...

They were literally known as the Number One Family in the Ancient Wilderness.

With a background that powerful, he could walk sideways through the realm and solve everything with a single call to daddy.

And if that didn't work—just call mommy!

And his mother? Not just some side character—she was the Saintess of Taibai Celestial Mountain, one of the three sacred lands!

And if calling mom and dad still didn't solve things, the family had ten ancestor-level powerhouses keeping watch.

As long as he didn't mess with some MC blessed with a cheat-code-level protagonist halo, he could basically do whatever the hell he wanted.

Wait—protagonist halo?!

He must've read too many novels...

Qin Feng reassured himself: "Nah, no way real life has those overpowered protagonists who, with one random encounter, surpass generations of hard work. That stuff's comedy gold, not reality."

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Today, his never-before-seen mother drank a bowl of special immortal liquid, carefully prepared by the Qin Clan.

This elixir was infused with mystical power—it could enhance the potential of the baby inside her. The more she drank, the greater the baby's innate talent.

To make sure the Qin family's little baby got a massive head start, they even used secret techniques to delay his birth for 100 years.

It's already been 97 years—just three more to go.

But today, before Qin Feng could absorb the essence from the elixir, all its energy was s*ck*d away by something else.

Worse, that something wasn't done yet—it started draining energy directly from his body like crazy!

He instantly felt drained—more exhausted than spending 20 days straight with his girlfriend in his past life.

And that's when he realized—he wasn't the only one in here.

Something terrifying was growing beside him.

If this continued, he'd be game over in just a few days.

"What the hell is this monster?!"

Qin Feng was terrified, desperate to escape from the freak beside him.

But in such a tiny space, there was nowhere to run.

He could only watch helplessly as his energy was s*ck*d dry bit by bit.

Just then—

A voice rang out in his head:

"Ding-dong! Epic-tier Chosen One detected. Activating system..."

"Wait… that monster is the protagonist?!"

Qin Feng froze like a shocked netizen.

Panic swept over him.

As everyone knows, being related to the protagonist is a high-risk job.

You either get killed to kick off the plot, or become cannon fodder blocking the MC's growth.

At best, you survive till the end, but get utterly destroyed by fate and left mentally scarred—never rising again.

And as if to prove his fears correct, Qin Feng actually saw his little brother's protagonist stats.

Epic Protagonist Halo: A once-in-ten-thousand-years exclusive MC buff. No logic, no questions—that's just the setting.

Luck +9999

Reincarnation rate into family: 99.999...%

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?! IS THERE NO JUSTICE?! NO LAWS?!"

Qin Feng couldn't help letting out a string of curses, inner prairie dog shriek activated.

He was supposed to be the transmigrator—so why is his little brother the protagonist?!

Then what does that make him?

The villain?!

"Ding-dong! Host identified as the Heaven-appointed Ultimate Villain. Activating the Ultra Super Invincible Villain System!"

The air went dead silent... and our handsome boy's heart shouted one big:

WTF?!

It was already dangerous enough being the twin brother of a protagonist.

Now you want him to be the destined final boss?

That's like going into the toilet with a lantern—looking for sh*t on purpose!

He had to rethink his whole survival plan:

No greed for money

No lusting after women

No taking disciples

No founding sects

Hide whenever possible

Avoid acting tough

Don't provoke trash or genius

Don't save beauties in distress

Steer clear of anyone named Ye, Lin, Chen, Xiao, Chu, Qin, Wang, Su, Fang, Zhou…

And most importantly:

Absolutely never laugh like "Jie jie jie jie" (classic villain laugh).

"Ding-dong! Friendly reminder: Based on system's psychological assessment, host is greedy, lustful, arrogant, and flamboyantly shameless—100% red-blooded man. Zero chance of being a quiet, secluded cultivator."

Qin Feng couldn't take it anymore.

He snapped and cursed out loud:

"Bullsh*t! You serious?! You say stuff like that with a straight face?! I've always been full of love and kindness, okay?

When the girl next door was taking a bath, I kindly opened the window to let in fresh air.

When Old Wang wasn't home, I helped take care of his wife.

When homeless girls had nowhere to go, I gave them warm homes.

My friends say I have the potential to be a prime minister, but all I want is to be a wholesome neighborhood boy who helps repair the plumbing..."

He had barely finished bragging about a tenth of his "virtues" when the system chimed in again:

"Ding-dong! Villain starter pack successfully delivered."

"Congratulations, host has received a God-tier Aura: Emperor's Potential!"

"Congratulations, host has received a God-tier Cultivation Method: Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Sutra!"

"Congratulations, host has received a Mythic Epic Item: Max-Level Red-Haired Old Monster Experience Ticket!"

Emperor's Potential: A legendary aura. Activating grants 10x enhancement to all stats (scales dynamically with base stats).

Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Sutra: Born from the Big Bang itself, capable of seizing destiny and reshaping the cosmos.

Red-Haired Old Monster Experience Ticket: Mythic-grade item. Lets user experience what it's like to be an invincible, max-level boss who crushes all so-called "undefeatable" opponents. (Duration: 24 hours. Cooldown: 10 years)

Qin Feng stared blankly at the item descriptions…

Suddenly, being the villain didn't seem so bad.

"Come on, hero! Try and fight me!"

No!

He was raised on Confucian values, grew up reading The Analects—a proper gentleman!

How could he allow himself to fall and become a villain?!

"Absorb, absorb, absorb! All you d*mn know is absorb!"

Qin Feng found that his little brother was still sucking his energy and, without hesitation, delivered a fierce kick to that annoying face.

As Confucius once said:

"A gentleman who lacks severity will not be respected."

(In other words, when a gentleman strikes, he must strike hard to establish authority.)
