Chapter 2: A Rough Draft World ?
Chapter 2: A Rough Draft World ?
In order to transmit the target to the destination more quickly, the space within the teleportation gate is twisted. Upon entering for the first time, there is a slight feeling of distortion in the body, and it is inevitable that many people will feel dizzy and nauseous.
But Chen Ling was fine. He has been traveling with his parents since he was young, and he was already accustomed to this feeling.
After who knows how long, his body suddenly felt light, and a cold wind blew past. Chen Ling yawned and opened his eyes, floating in the air under the moonlight.
Ding~ Arrival in Rune Continent
Date: Year of Aries 2135, November 20th
Time: 9:00 pm
At this time, it was nighttime in this plane. The bustling city under his feet was full of strange and colorful sights. Looking at this world, Chen Ling couldnt help but furrow his brows.
This energy feels so familiar Have I been here before? I cant remember
Binding the foundational order of the plane
Adapting to the planes energy
Learning all the magic of this plane
Current world happiness index detected at 10%
The happiness index is a very complex thing, and how it is calculated is not important. What is important is that this world is a miserable place with only 10% happiness index.
Please abide by the regulations of the Divine Personnel and properly manage the world. Wish you a happy life.
Happiness index of 10%! Damn it! If I lower it by another 10%, itll be 0%?!
Will the academy arrest me and throw me in jail?
If the happiness index of a plane drops to 0, the god managing that plane has to sit in jail for 100 years
Thats not just any ordinary jail. Its a black cell where you dont eat, drink or sleep for a hundred years. Suffering from physical and mental torment. Although Chen Ling has a long lifespan and can sit for a hundred years without any problems, who would want to sit doing nothing? He certainly wouldnt.
Soon, Chen Ling fell to the ground.
The world before his eyes was clearly bustling, so why is the happiness index so low?

Chen Ling couldnt figure it out, so he looked at the description of the world. Immediately, he understood the reason.
It turns out that in this world, every person is bound to a curse star when they are born. The curse star is also known as the destiny star. The curse star is one of the countless stars in the twelve constellations.
For example, the curse star of Aries, the curse star of Pisces, the curse star of Sagittarius, the curse star brings the ability to drive curse magic to people. At the same time, it also brings a lifelong curse that follows them. The curse takes effect around the age of five.
For example: Stumbling while squatting in the washroom, split stream while urinating, neck pain from sleeping, born with athletes foot, body odor that spreads for miles, prices of groceries always rising wherever a person is. All kinds of strange curses.
These are still relatively light
More severe curses include: Losing both parents, dying alone, being single for life, living a life of inaction, being cuckolded in five seconds.
These curses are like a joke that God made, very absurd.
Chen Ling couldnt help but wonder if this world was nothing more than a rough draft created by the Master God.
How could such a world exist? Its worth mentioning that the strength of the curse has no direct relationship with the persons proficiency in magic.
Maybe ones parents are gone, but they have achieved much in life. Maybe one is just bald, but powerful enough to defy the heavens. In summary, many people in this world are tormented and on the verge of mental breakdown due to different curses.
As Chen Ling looked around, he couldnt help but laugh out loud, imagining a scene where two people were fighting, and one shouted, This is the power I gained by sacrificing my parents! Die! The other person replied, Parents? You dont understand the pain of being cuckolded! The intense battle became a bigger tragedy. Whoever is more in pain wins.
Thinking about it, Chen Ling couldnt help but feel like a fool, giggling on the side of the road. The passers-by looked at him as if he were a lunatic. No, this world is too tragic Chen Ling finally stopped himself from smiling.
He scanned the people around him with the Divine System to see what curses they were carrying. In such a prosperous city, there were many people on the streets, and many people flying in the sky on magic-powered aircrafts.
However, this world was strangely quiet. Everyone was walking briskly on their own. Suddenly, a high school girl passed by in front of him, and Chen Ling immediately scanned:
Ming Xian : Male, Age: 16
Curse Star: Capricorn 1000 (The number is the curse star ID, and its unrelated to the strength)
Magic Level : Mid-level Mage Apprentice
Curse: Eternally being mistaken for the opposite gender
Chen Ling: ???
A man? A cross-dresser? Chen Ling couldnt help but exclaim.
Ming Xian, who had just walked past, heard this and turned around to look at Chen Ling in surprise. Chen Ling glanced at his skirt and knee-high socks, looking at the girl in front of him with confusion oh wait, boy.
He saw him covering his skirt with both hands, shouting shyly, Ah! Pervert! And then he ran away like a frightened bird
Chen Ling was dumbfounded and couldnt help but shudder. This was unreasonable. Is this really a curse for him? Why does it seem like hes enjoying it?
Then another person walks past him.
Their information also automatically appears before his eyes:
Yang Bufan: Male, Age: 24
Curse Star: Sagittarius 1197
Magic level: Low-level Intermediate Mage
Curse: Nosebleed upon seeing women
This one is relatively normal. But hes likely to be seen as a pervert in daily life.
The man seems to have noticed that Cheng Ling is looking at him. He turns his head, and Cheng Ling sees that hes holding his nose.
Blood flows down his hand.
Cheng Ling imagines the difficulties in this mans daily life and recalls the battle scene he had just imagined, chuckling to himself.
The man immediately frowned.
Cough, cough Cheng Ling coughs awkwardly twice and says, Im sorry, I couldnt help it.
Do you need a tissue? Chen Ling asked, and a pack of tissues appears in his hand.
The man reaches out to take it, but Cheng Ling quickly pulls his hand back and says, Wait a minute!
Dont touch meI have a germaphobia, Ill throw it to you.
The other person didnt mind after hearing this, thinking that Chen Ling might have some kind of curse, just like how they had a nosebleed problem.
Its a curseI understand, thanks! I just ran out of tissue. After saying this, the person left.
Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He didnt actually have a germaphobia. It was just that the judgment for binding a target was based on physical contact.
As an intern in the Divine Personnel responsible for managing the world, there were many ways to change the worlds rules. One was to directly modify the worlds rules.
If one was an official Divine Personnel, they wouldnt need to accumulate points. However, for the interns, they needed a certain amount of points to modify the worlds rules.
So at the beginning, they had to bind a target and earn points by helping them. Targets could be bound indefinitely, but once bound, they couldnt be released until the end of the internship period.
Any physical contact would be considered as binding the target. Once Chen Ling touched the persons hand, the person would be bound as a target. Later when Chen Ling gave him tissue, even if he only solved one problem for him, his points would increase. It might only be one point, but Chen Ling didnt want any of those broken points.
Just as Chen Ling was planning to observe and see what other interesting curses existed in this world, he noticed something falling from above in the corner of his eye.
He subconsciously thought that someone was throwing something from a high place, but strangely, he could see it, but couldnt sense it.
With the help of the system, he could sense several dogs and cats within a few kilometers.
But he couldnt sense the thing that was falling from the sky.
He looked up and saw a girl falling from the sky, her pink hair fluttering.
Should he save her? Did she fall accidentally or was it intentional? He instinctively thought that she might have fallen due to despair.
To be honest, in this world, many people dont want to live due to curses and lack of natural abilities. They live at the bottom and suffer greatly.
Even if he didnt bind any target, he could earn a lot of points just by saving people every day. This type of task doesnt require binding. Saving one person earns 10 points, but he really didnt want any points.
Forget it, no need to save her.
So he glanced at her again, and as he thought back, he squinted his eyes as she looked somewhat familiar.
Was it an illusion?
As he contemplated his memories, he suddenly noticed that she was smiling?
Chen Ling was stunned. Why was she smiling?
Was it because she was finally released from despair?
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, revealing a pair of captivating eyes that were more beautiful than the moon in the sky. Chen Ling couldnt detect any trace of fear in her gaze.
In that moment, the girl who jumped off the building noticed Chen Ling looking at her in surprise. Her smile froze and she couldnt help but open that alluring little mouth.
The two met for the first time before she even landed on the ground.
Hehe can see me? she murmured. Her heart skipped a beat, and tears suddenly flowed out.
UnfortunatelyIm going to die
She was desperate. She had been searching for ten years for someone who could see her. Today she finally met him but accidentally fell from a high place. Fate seemed to be playing a joke on her, and she couldnt laugh.
In the end, she closed her eyes in despair and gave up.
Everything her smiling expression that froze, her tears, her joy, her despair was recorded in Chen Lings mind through the Divine System, frame by frame, with nothing held back.
Dont you want to die anymore?
Then I will reluctantly save your life.
Chen Ling didnt know why, but his intuition told him that he had to save this person.
So he stretched out his hand and said slowly, Stop.
