Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu - Chapter 1012: A mother’s insight

Derek Carter never asked for a System, an apocalypse, or the pressure of being humanity’s so-called “last hope.”He was just trying to survive the daily struggles of being an orphan in Paleview City—dodging bullies, scraping together meals, and lying his way into school. Life was already hard enough.Then, one day, a blue screen pops into his vision:[Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die.]Yeah, great. Just what he needed—cryptic doomsday messages and no instruction manual.Now, monsters are creeping into the city, reality is unraveling, and Damien’s “legendary” starting stats are barely above zero. The System promises him power, but there's just one tiny problem—he’s never won a fight in his life.Armed with sarcasm, questionable decision-making skills, and the sheer refusal to die, Damien is about to embark on the worst (and possibly last) adventure of his life. Because if the world really is ending… he’s at least going to make it someone else’s problem first.After all, heroes are overrated—survivors get to tell the story.

Clueless.With no other options, she had to choose a profession that required none of the above skills....Years later, those who once served her, now ministers and generals, listened as Qingyun, who had ascended to the throne as the empress, said: 'You might not believe it, but I never intended to be the empress.'The ministers and generals replied, 'That's right, that's right. Everything you say is correct. It was us who forced you into this position.'

Chen Mo transmigrates into the Battle Through the Heavens world and binds with the Goddess Favorability System.For every point of favorability he gains from a goddess, he receives a corresponding reward from the system.【Ding! Bound to the goddess—Die Ba!】【Ding! Favorability +1. Received a Tier 1 Pill: Accumulation Pill. Hand-holding bonus triggered—gained one incense stick’s worth of enlightenment time.】Looking at the woman before him, Chen Mo exclaimed in shock, “Isn't this Queen Medusa's younger sister?”
