Rebirth and the Million-Time Multiplier

Pain.

An unbearable, suffocating pain surged through Yang Yu's body as consciousness returned to him. It was as if his soul had been ripped apart and crudely stitched back together. His mind felt like it was drowning in chaos—flashes of memories, foreign yet familiar, crashed against his own.

'What… happened to me?'

The last thing he remembered was the blinding headlights of a speeding truck, followed by a bone-shattering impact. He should have died. But now…

He gasped, his lungs burning as he sucked in the air. The scent of herbs, wood, and something faintly metallic filled his nostrils. He forced his eyes open, only to find himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a hard wooden bed.

The ceiling above him was unfamiliar—aged wooden beams held up by intricately carved pillars. It was nothing like the modern world he had lived in.

Suddenly, memories that weren't his own poured into his mind.

This wasn't Earth.

This was the Tianxuan Continent, a vast world ruled by cultivation, where the strong lived like kings and the weak were trampled into dust.

And he… was Yang Yu, the third young master of the Yang Clan in Cloudspring City.

"No way… I transmigrated?!"

As the memories settled, he understood his new identity. The original Yang Yu was a prodigy—his comprehension was terrifying, and his talent put even the most prestigious sect disciples to shame around the Cloudspring City. But in this world, being too talented was a curse.

Jealousy, greed, and fear of his potential had painted a massive target on his back. From a young age, he had survived countless assassination attempts, plots, and betrayals. The most recent one had left the original Yang Yu poisoned and barely clinging to life.

And that… was how he ended up here.

'I just wanted to live a quiet life…' Yang Yu groaned internally.

His body ached, weak from the remnants of the poison. The original owner had struggled, fought, and suffered endlessly, yet in the end, he had fallen victim to the schemes of others.

'No, not again.' Yang Yu clenched his fists. If this world only respected strength, then he would become strong—strong enough to control his fate.

As he made this resolve, a sudden ding echoed in his mind.

Yang Yu froze.

A system?

His mind reeled, struggling to process the words that had just echoed inside his head. He had read countless web novels back on Earth—stories where protagonists defied the heavens with cheat-like abilities, gaining power at ridiculous speeds. But those were just fiction, mere fantasies conjured by authors.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to become one of them.

And this wasn't just any system—it was a Million-Time Multiplier System.

His breathing quickened as he stared at the glowing text in his mind. Universal Multiplier: 1,000,000x. The sheer scale of it sent a shiver down his spine.

'One million times…'

He swallowed hard.

If a normal person took a hundred days to break through a realm, he could do it in an instant.

If a martial artist needed years to master a technique, he could perfect it in a heartbeat.

If a warrior swung his sword ten thousand times to refine his strikes, he needed only one.

This wasn't just a cheat—this was an absolute advantage, a force that defied the very laws of cultivation.

His fingers trembled as he clenched his fists, feeling the rough fabric of the robes he now wore. Just moments ago, he had been struggling to breathe, weak from the lingering poison that had nearly killed him. He had been reborn into a world where life was cruel, where strength ruled and the weak were trampled.

He had inherited the memories of the original Yang Yu, the prodigy whose talent had drawn envy from all sides. That talent had become a curse, marking him for assassination before he could even grow into his potential. If not for this unexpected second chance, he would have simply faded into oblivion like countless other fallen geniuses.

But now?

Now, everything was different.

Yang Yu's lips curled into a smirk, his pulse steadying as realization dawned on him.

Fate had thrown him into a world where only the strong dictated everything. A world where the heavens played favorites and the powerful crushed the weak without mercy.

Then he would become the strongest.

Not because he craved power. Not because he sought dominance.

But because this world left him no choice.

His smirk widened as a newfound determination surged through his veins.

This time, no one would take his life from him.

This time, he would be the one in control.

He exhaled slowly, the last remnants of fear and doubt fading from his mind. He had been given a second chance—a gift that others could only dream of. And unlike the original Yang Yu, who had struggled against fate, he had something far beyond mere talent.

He had the Million-Time Multiplier System.

And with it, he would carve his destiny.

No matter what stood in his way.

He will go above and beyond everyone and live the kind of life he wants
