Penitent - Chapter 39Book 2 : Scales Among Leaves

This is the story of a crazy lich who possesses an internal game system and brings catastrophe to the entire world.

“Let’s look at the daily quests today... it’s the damned choose one-of-two-options-type again. Destroy a town with a population of 30,000 people or above; reward: 10,000 evil points. Steal lollipops from 3 children; reward: 1 evil point. If neither of the quests is completed, then 2 points will be deducted.”

“Tsk! You think I’m stupid? If I really destroyed a town, a crusade of Epic-ranked Holy Knights would definitely come hunting me down. Even if I earned the points, there wouldn’t be any life left in me to spend them. I better just go be a kindly lollipop bandit.”

I’ve already had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says that a lich can’t be a good person? I’m definitely going to beat this damned system and be an upright and dignified good man.

“All it takes is one kiss, and I can steal their power!”Hermes Potentia is an F-class hero, who's power is to copy only some of the traits of the food he ingest. This power was named 'Copy Cat', and was considered useless. If he ate a chicken, he would only grow some feathers and can squack really loud. If he ate a pig, he would get a pig's snout and just get really hungry. Because of this, he was bullied by his superiors in the heroes guild, The Golden Apple.But everything changed when he accidentally kissed Somner, a hero with a hypnosis ability. He learned that the Copy Cat ability doesn't just apply to animals he ate— It also applies to human DNA!With this, he orchestrated his ultimate revenge on everyone who mistreated him.Top MC1 v Multiple bottomsHaremOne true love or multiple end game?

But when fate dragged him into another world, those same hands became the only thing keeping him alive.Unlike the chosen ones who gain holy blessings or unrivaled power, he has nothing but skill, wit, and stubbornness. He doesn’t seek glory, nor does he dream of leaving his name in history.But the world has other plans.A kingdom built on lies. Families fighting for power in the shadows. Betrayals hidden behind smiles. And he? He’s caught in the middle, forced to navigate schemes that could devour him whole.He isn’t the strongest. He isn’t the bravest. But sometimes, the man who doesn’t want the spotlight… is the one who survives it.________I get this alot so I'm going to clarify:This is not a smut novel, there will be romantic scenes but not as pronounced.

Born of a great family, world shaking genius.
