Chapter 1: A Terrible Start
I was a Minecraft pro.
Speedruns? Easy.
Raiding villages? My favorite pastime.
Killing iron golems with my bare hands? Just another Tuesday.
Yeah, I was that guy.
One day, while installing some system mod, everything changed.
> [System initializing…]
"Huh? A system?"
I was already fantasizing about becoming an overpowered protagonist when:
> [System overload. Self-destruction initiated.]
"Wait—WHAT?!"
BOOM.
That's all I remember.
No one knew how I died. Not even me.
---
I woke up in a wasteland.
Sky gray. Air thick like dust. My body felt... off.
Before I could even stand up straight, shadows surrounded me.
Gaunt figures, with hollow eyes and cracked lips, stared at me.
One licked their lips and whispered,
> "Meat... real meat!"
They lunged at me.
I fought back, barely, but I was weak. Too weak.
One pinned me to the ground, his hands wrapped around my neck.
Was I going to die again?
> [System rebooting…]
"Again?!"
A strange beep echoed.
Time... froze.
> [Welcome. You have been assigned the Plunderer System.]
"Wait—what now?!"
Suddenly, strength surged through me.
My body felt light. My fists felt heavy.
I punched the guy choking me.
CRACK!
His neck snapped.
I stood up and started swinging.
They dropped like ragdolls. Lucky me... or maybe not.
> [You have received the title: Murderer.]
(Effect: Civilians will fear you.
You will be hunted.
But monsters... will obey.)
"What the hell?!"
The bodies around me... rose.
Not to attack—but to kneel.
Blank eyes stared up at me.
Dead. But loyal.
> [First Mission: Raid the village of Nguyên Sơn.]
[Reward: Totem of Undying (Bound, Infinite Use).]
I blinked.
What... is this world?
Why do I feel like I'm not the hero here?
