MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty - v2 Chapter 1761 Happy and happy

In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!

William Medici was not born into this world—he was reborn into it. But fate has already decided his role. He is not the hero. Not the noble king who rules with honor. He is the villain.A system lurks within him, not as a guide, but as an ever-present spectator—one that delights in chaos. It grants no power freely, offers no redemption, only a whisper:The world is a stage. Your role is the villain. Play it well.In a realm where betrayal is currency and power is the only law, William does not resist fate—he embraces it. Every alliance is a move on the board. Every rival, a piece to be sacrificed. Every betrayal, already foreseen.But even a villain is not invincible. Enemies rise. Shadows scheme. And the system watches, amused—waiting to see if he will fall...Or if he will burn the world to prove that even fate can be rewritten.But one question remains:“Who summoned him… and what do they want in return?”--------------------------------AUTHOR HEREWilliam Medici starts off seeming wholesome—but don’t be deceived. He’s selfish, cunning, and manipulative to the core.

10 billion people in the world traveled through the apocalypse to survive, but the protagonist directly turned into a zombie after crossing…

And with the passage of time, the body is gradually decaying.

For zombies: Rotten clean = dead.

So, Jiang Si’s time is running out…

In order to survive, he opened the novice gift bag.

Got the trash skill: ?Xingchang?br>“?Xing Changhe? After eating alien creatures, you can get additional experience points. If the ingredients are fresh enough, there is a chance to get this biological skill.”

…

Um.

Really useless.

Alien creatures are full of poison, and the taste… is extremely unpalatable!

Eat alien creatures to gain skills?

That is courting death!

Such rubbish skills, after all…

Etc., etc? !

right? !

I’m a zombie. Since I can eat people, isn’t it the same to eat xenogeneic creatures? !

With a move in his heart, Jiang thought to a possibility.

Then, the journey to eat the world began:

“Ding, you ate the Poison Horned Rabbit and gained 400 experience points, and your skills are fast.”

“Ding, you ate the Lion of Ice and Fire, gained 5800 experience points, and the skill Flame Body.”

“Ding, you ate the Wetland Poison Dragon and gained 180,000 experience points and skill dragon scale skin.”

“Ding, you ate the true ancestor of vampires…”

Just a warning, only read this if you want a proper story with meaning. If you just some powerup and fight and then some powerup and fight, this is not the story for you.The MC will be overpowered, but it does not mean his fights will be easy. Side characters wont be left behind either.------------------------In the beginning, an omnipotent being existed alone in an endless void, creating the universe to escape eternal solitude. Granting all lifeforms freedom and the potential to ascend, he hoped for companions to share in his divine existence.Over millennia, three mortals—Arcturus, a brave warrior; Selene, a wise sage; and Lysander, a compassionate healer—rose to power, guided subtly by their creator. Their journey towards divinity, however, turned dark as ambition and envy led them to betray their creator, resulting in his fall.Before vanishing, the original god established Gaia, a system ensuring universal balance and order. Countless years later, he is reborn as Theos, a mortal child in a humble village. Unaware of his past, Theos awakens the SSS Creator System, unlocking immense potential. With this newfound power, he embarks on a journey to restore cosmic balance and confront ancient betrayal, setting him on a path destined for greatness.Give it a try and let me know how is it.
