MTL - After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable - Chapter 36 Victory

“The masterminds are cooler than heroes,” I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game.Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit.Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?***[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]What?[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]Wait, what?![Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]And, why would I do that?![Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]Why would I save him?![The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]Ah! I give up...It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker.I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need?Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though.I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...[Failure: Destruction of the World.]It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]“If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne.”And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Terrence suddenly found himself back in the past, just moments before countless monsters were about to eat him.He got a second chance in life, but there was one problem.Unlike his peers, who had overwhelming talent, he was just an ordinary soldier with below-average skills.However, there was one thing he could count on that didn’t require talent.He knew the future.And with that knowledge, he could secure his survival, amass wealth, and build the ultimate sanctuary before the first wave hit.“I will be the one to shape the new era.”

On a certain day, dungeons from another dimension suddenly appeared on Earth and monsters started to invade human civilization.

Humans were forced to form hunting parties to conquer dungeons.

Hunters can be separated into different jobs, including Knights, Warriors, Archers, Magicians, Assassins, and Supporters.

Each job had its own responsibility when they fought together.

When Lu Benwei was transmigrated to this world, he got the weakest job and became a Supporter.

Fortunately, he received the One-click Support System.

Resource Support: Click to receive 10x experience, 10x item drop, 10x money drop.

Walk Through Wall Support: Click to increase speed and unlock the ability to walk through walls. There’s no place that you can’t go in the dungeons.

X-Ray Vision Support: Click to clear the fog and locate every hidden chest and mission.

Health Lock Support: Click to lock your health. You’ll be immune to any damage for a set amount of time.

Storage Support: Click to expand your storage. You can store as many items, pets, and runes as you want.

“He can walk through walls, has X-ray vision, and invincibility? You call that a support system? He’s basically hacking!”

“I’m not hacking!” Lu Benwei replied.

For the wine to be drunk on her wedding night to actually have been a cup of poison and for the one to poison her to be her husband, who would believe it?
