A tall and muscular young man dressed in a stylish grey coat sitting comfortably in a bustling cafe.
The cafe which is situating in the middle of A city had been crowding with customers since morning. It is one of the most popular attraction spots of this busy city.
Cafe Au Latte.
This handsome young man is currently be admired by the other customers in the cafe, mainly by the women. They have been whispering nonstop while looking at him excitedly.
"Oh my god! He is so handsome!"
"He's a model, no, a celebrity! I will be his passionate fan and follow him on social media!"
"If I asked, will he gave me his name and his phone number?"
The man is sipping is his black coffee gracefully. Smile occasionally decorating his handsome face.
Ting! Ling!
The bell in the main door is ringing softly, indicating a new customer is entering the cafe.
Another young man in casual clothes stepped inside. A pair of sunglasses is hiding his beautiful pairs of brown eyes. His lips curved into a charming smile when he saw his acquaintance's face.
"Ah-Wei!" Diana waved her hand excitedly at Zhang Wei, which in return, the man is also enthusiastically waving back at her. He then approached the girl.
Although those pair of enchanting eyes inexplicably hiding behind the sunglasses, one cannot deny his excitement in seeing her.
Suddenly. he bumped into someone. The handsome man from earlier standing abruptly, and Zhang Wei collided with the taller man's sturdy chest.
"I am sorry! I didn't realize someone is walking behind me!"
"No, no, it's okay. It is also my fault." Ryan rubbed his nose. Oww, is that a chest or a wall? That's hurt.
"Are you okay?" The man asked in concern. His guilty expression is clearly showing on his handsome feature. His obsidian orbs are gleaming in the light, alluring Ryan to stop and gazing further into those eyes.
Ryan is stunned when he saw the man's face in a closer distance. His crimson hair has a shiny luster on them. Ryan felt his hand is itchy. Look at those muscles and sturdy thighs. Wow, very handsome, ah! If he is gay, this man is undoubtedly a great catch. But, since he is straight, he didn't care. It just this is the first time they meet, yet he seemed familiar to him? Did the original know this man?
"It's okay, don't worry. I am sorry for interrupting your breakfast. My friend is waiting over there. Until next time." Ryan gives him a polite smile before he goes to the furthest seats in the corner of the cafe. He is oblivious to the drastic change in the taller man's eyes. Those eyes transpose from a gentle gaze into a predatory look.
The atmosphere turned chilly for no reason.
{Is that him?}
(Yes, the original soul had been replacing by a transmigrator. What's your plan, host?)
{I will celebrate his arrival, of course. I waited long enough for him to come. With grand fireworks and a big surprise, our new game will start its new chapter.}
The black energy ball beside him shook its body before disappeared into thin air.
Ping!!!
White Ball whipped its body and started scanning the cafe's surroundings.
(Host, I sensed an abnormal level of energy!) The system exclaimed.
White ball floating around the cafe, frantically trying to locate the source of the dark energy.
{What nonsense are you spouting about, White Ball?} Ryan's momentarily shifted his gazes from Diana.
(This type of energy, I think there is another system in this world.)
{Is that a bad thing?}
(Of course, host! We are merely here to help to mend the blackened points accumulated from unnecessary cannon fodder's sacrifices. If two different types of systems existed in the same world, what do you think will happen? Their interest will clash! And, rather than mending the damages, we might drove the world into its destruction. Furthermore, I sensed dark energy. They had a bad intention.)
Ryan sighed. Aigoo, this is only his first world, and he just started his first mission after White Ball practically begging him while in tears. Why is his life so hard?
He checked his transparent monitor, displaying his personal information and the missions he needed to complete. With a slight swipe of his index finger, the screen appeared in front of him. Only he, himself, could see this invisible monitor.
[Main mission:
1. Stay alive in this world until 30-100 points
2. Reveal the Female Lead's true face-50 points
3. Become a well-known person in the country-100 points
Hidden Mission: Catch the serial killer-1000 points.]
Ryan decided to do only two main missions, the first and the last one. If he can solve the serial killer case, his name will be famous in the whole country. It's like killing two birds with one stone. And, for the Female Lead or the Male Lead? He didn't care about those overbearing characters.
"Ah-Wei? You looked tired. Is your clinic is doing well?"
Diana noticed that Zhang Wei had changed. Before, his personality is more reserved and restrained. Now? He is a bit straightforward and has more confidence when he talks. His once slouched shoulders and slumped back had regained its backbone.
Whatever the reason is, she is very grateful for these changes. Even after breaking up, they maintain a good relationship, a healthy brother and sister relationship. If this man has a good life, she, of course, will be happy for him. Both of them happily munched their delicious breakfasts.
If only they'd realized that their meeting today will be their last one, and Diana will end up being murdered by a psychotic serial killer. Ryan, without a doubt, will regret meeting her that day. Because of him, an innocent woman has died miserably. And, the reason for her death is, quoted by the possessive Doctor Jackal,
"It is because she had shamelessly clung herself into her old boyfriend's thigh."

Next morning.
"Today, early in the morning, a body of a young woman is found stuffed in a trolley bag. Some passerby joggers discovered the bag near a rarely used bridge of a southern river. The victim is known as Miss Su, 25 years old, a part-timer model..."
Ryan unconsciously had gripped his glass hard enough, which had to cause the fragile glass to crack before it shattered to pieces. He didn't register the pain of being stabbed by broken pieces of glass. Instead, Ryan felt muddleheaded. He stared at the television in a daze.
The anchor's voice is ringing in his ears. Keep repeating the same news, again and again. Then, as if he is being slapped awake by someone, he snapped back from his trance-like state.
"DOCTOR JACKAL," Ryan shouted angrily. His eyes flashed a dangerous red color. "I SWEAR TO STOP YOU THIS TIME!"
The condominium building shook for no reason as if it's experienced a severe shock wave.

(Host, the Female Lead is here. In this world, you are the stepbrother of the female lead, Zhang Mian. You do remember. Right? I already give you the plots.) White Ball's eyeing Ryan suspiciously after the system saw him avoiding eye contact. (Host, seriously? You didn't read them?!) {Why should I care about that green tea bitch anyway? If she wanted the heir position so much, she should improve her knowledge and work harder to prove her charms and good points. With this level of intelligence, no wonder their father ignored his legitimate daughter and focused more on his talented son. A jealous person is pitiful. They always blamed other people for their shortcomings. Don't they realized
Grandier Hotel. Room 3448(VIP Suite). Ryan looked at the trembling girl with an icy glare. He felt no pity for her, just repulsive contempt. Zhang Mian tried to diminish her sense of presence in the hotel room. Her torn and tattered white dress is hanging pitifully on her exposed body. Ryan ignored her miserable crying. Since he knows the pompous girl deserved it, he didn't felt the need to appease and coax her. "Father should know this matter," He indignantly said. "I think he's on the way here." Zhang Mian choked on her sobbing. "Older brother, please, no! Daddy will be angry and punish me severely for this!" She pleaded while in tears. "So, what is wrong with that?" Ry
Recap of the previous chapter. The meeting between the main character and Zhang Long. What is happening for them to meet in the hotel room? Did Zhang Mian do something improper to her stepbrother, which leads to her miserable ending? And, Ryan mentioned something about drugs. Did Zhang Mian drug him? Let's turn back the time to ten hours before the predicament took place. *** Ten hours ago, Zhang Wei's house. Ryan reads the message given by Jin Wei [in case you forget, Jin Wei is the bodyguard that served Zhang Wei. He is mentioned in chapter 8] for the third time. He looked at the expressionless system. With multiple creases appeared on his forehead, Ryan said in an adamant voice.
*** (Huh!) White Ball looked at its host with a superior feeling. (If you beg me for my forgiveness, I might reconsider myself to help you.) {Okay, okay! White Ball is undoubtedly the most powerful being in this world! No one can rival you, so, please help this helpless host! I beg you, my mighty system!} Ryan pleading the system shamelessly. (Hmph! It's good that you realized those facts sooner, host.) White Ball said in a gloating tone. {Take this pill. Since you beg me earnestly, I will not deduct your measly points. It's free of charge.) {Yes, yes, White Ball. Please forgive this silly host and his rude action before. You are right, and I'm the one on the wrong side.} Ryan tried very hard to appease the system's anger. Who cares about pride? Can you eat that thing? A pill is put in Ryan's mouth. He swallowed the pill unhesitatingly. As expected of the goods from ano
Back to the first scene, everyone.***The incident that happened that night was never disclosed to the public. True to his words, Zhang Long handled the matter privately and quickly. Well, such a piece of news will disgrace the Zhang Group's images after all.Kai gets thrown away into jail because of a completely unrelated matter.

Today is Sunday. His awaiting holiday. Finally, he could take some rest.Ryan decided to sleep until late in the evening. He felt tired, and mostly, lazy.{White Ball, we have already stayed in this world for a month. Did you able to sense the abnormal energy again?}(No, host. And, it's weird, but the serial killer didn't act for two weeks. Did he get bored?){No. Rather than stopping, he is waiting for a perfect chance to announce his existence to the world. He had a narcissistic personality. I think, he is planning something grandiosely horrible and might already implementing his decision to action.}(The situation is exactly the calm before the storm, right?)Ryan nodded his head.{I felt uneasy. There's a bad feeling in the air. Whatever the man's plans are, we shouldn't drop our vigilance, White Ball.}(For once
