“I hate my old world. No matter where I turned, misfortune followed me like a curse. In this world, I will be free. I’ll rise to the top and enjoy life with beauties... but to do so, I must destroy everything that stands in my way.”Ryan was a simple construction worker, trapped in a boring routine, weighed down by gambling and loss. Until one day, his life ended when a rogue steel pole crashed into him—right in the middle of his important gacha pull. Everything went dark… and then bright again. He found himself face-to-face with a goddess.Seraphina, the Goddess of Life, stood before him with an air of indifference. “Welcome, Ryan, to the world between life and death. I could explain your life and death, but I can’t be bothered. I’m Seraphina, blah blah blah. Go save the world, be a hero... whatever.”Ryan lashed out. “What kind of shitty goddess are you? I don’t want to be a hero!”“How dare you speak to me like that?!” Seraphina’s fury was palpable. She had never been spoken to like this before.Ryan scanned the endless white room, muttering, “So, I’m dead, huh? This is a new world… First thing, get strong. And maybe get some beauties...”“Listen, we’re not done talking—” the goddess started, but Ryan cut her off. “Shut the f**k up! I’m thinking here!” He was beyond thrilled to escape his miserable old life. This felt like a second chance.“Hero? F**k that! Make me a villain,” Ryan growled. “Give me powers like in those anime shows! I want to burn the world down and make them kneel to me!”The goddess paused, clearly annoyed. “Fine, have it your way.” She flicked her wrist, sending a flash of light toward him.Unseen by her, a shadowy presence entered with the light.“I shall grant you one wish,” the goddess muttered bitterly. “Name it, and it will be done.”Ryan’s eyes gleamed. “Anything?” His grin widened. “Make me someone who can f**k countless women and have a hundred wives. And you...” He leered at her, “You’ll be my first.”Before Seraphina could react, a system window appeared before Ryan’s eyes, glowing crimson.[Welcome Ryan Wood][You are reading a message from the system of the chosen ones][You are offered to become the Harem God][Will you accept your fate?][Yes/No]Ryan’s excitement surged. “F**K YES!

Chu Xuan transmigrated to a fantasy world and became the young master of a powerful family. He was rebuked for misbehaving just because he sneezed during a banquet. As punishment, he was banished from the ancestral mansion and was relocated to a remote residence.

He did not mind the punishment at all. He just needed a spot that could allow him to be a shut-in. With the system that would allow him to grow stronger by being a shut-in, the longer he stayed indoors, the more powerful he became.

After being a shut-in for a day, he was rewarded with the Indestructible Body Technique.

After being a shut-in for a month, he was rewarded with the Immovable Mountain Technique.

After being a shut-in for a year, he was rewarded with the Yuxu Celestial Scripture and 100 years of cultivation.

After being a shut-in for 10 years, he was rewarded with the Chaotic Indestructible Body and the Bell of Chaos.

…

Chu Xuan declared, “No one can make me leave my home. I like being a shut-in!”
