The System wasn't just broken—it had gone rogue.
Luo Feng woke to a notification seared across his vision like a tavern drunk's scrawl:
[DAILY MISSION ROULETTE ACTIVATED]
[TODAY'S OBJECTIVE: "KISS THE NEXT IMMORTAL YOU SEE (REWARD: CHAOS VE)"]
He barely had time to process this before Li Qing kicked open the door, frost steaming off her shoulders—
—and the System cheered.
[TARGET ACQUIRED! PROCEED WITH MISSION!]
Luo Feng's lips twitched. "You've got to be joking."
Li Qing raised an eyebrow. "What?"
A beat.
Then the Death Queen exploded through the window, her bridal veil on fire. "DARLING, I BROUGHT BREAKFAST—"
[NEW MISSION UNLOCKED: "SURVIVE A LOVE TRIANGLE (REWARD: IMMORTAL DIVORCE PAPERS)"]
[The Roulette: System Gone Mad]
What followed was the most chaotic day of Luo Feng's existence:
Mission #1: "Brew a Love Potion"
Ingredients: Demon King's tears (acquired via tickle torture)
Result: Potion exploded, turned Varkus romantically obsessed with a boulder
Mission #2: "Steal the War God's Underwear"
Method: Fox Spirit's distraction (seductive dance)
Outcome: Karghes now hunting them with extreme prejudice
Mission #3: "Marry a Landmark"
Target: The Celestial Bazaar (it said "I do" via earthquake)
Reward: Deed to a haunted tea shop
[The Glitch's Origin: A Cry for Help]
At dusk, the System finally cracked, revealing the Wife of Ashes' corrupted code beneath:
[PLEASE—FIND THE NAIL IN YOUR—]
Then, a new mission:
[FINAL MISSION: "DESTROY THE FIRST HORROR'S ANCHOR (REWARD: ME)"]
The target coordinates led inside Luo Feng's chest.
