Hao Ren was coming back from a high school reunion party and he was drunk. It was not a bad reunion but for people like him these gatherings did not fare too well either. He was an epito of average n. People who nobody would rember or miss when they were gone.
Just like at this mont, his classmates did not even notice that he took off from the gathering. They might look for him when paying the bills. Hao Ren navigated his way to the beach opposite the hotel they were gathered at.
Hao Ren decided to settle down on the cold sand as the ocean breeze brushed against his face. He raised his head to look at the sky and then he turned to check the surroundings before he spoke out loud, "Fuck you!"
It was a burst of frustration that was being silenced by the wave. Hao Ren raised a bottle of beer he had been holding and took a big sip before he yelled, "Fuck you, God of systems!"
He chugged down the contents of the bottle before he fell on his back and stared blankly at the stars. After so ti he said, "I read as many novels as I could. I prayed to as many gods as I could during my teenage. Then when I thought miracles do not happen, you send to this beautiful world. I was so happy thinking you will give so special ability to change my average fate.
What did you give ? You gave nothing, but a broken system. Oi! System, wake up you freeloading parasite, wake up and tell why did the god of systems fuck over like this?"
*Ding: Host, nobody has done anything bad to you. Also, there is not such thing as God of systems.*
Hao Ren groaned and protested, "You are a scam, alright, everyone else gets systems that make them rich and strong. What did I get? Tell what are you."
*Ding: I am the Omnipotent Husband System. My task is to make sure that the host achieves the supre status among husbands in the world.*
Hao Ren chuckled and asked, "What are the requirent to activate you?"
*Ding: Host should get married to trigger the system activation.*
Hao Ren was so pissed that he laughed like a maniac for a few minutes before he got tired and said, "You should have made stronger or richer and then tasked to get a wife. That would have been fun."
The system said, *Ding: Host is under strong influence of alcohol. It is advised that you go to sleep.*
Hao Ren vented his frustration for a long ti before he passed out on the beach itself. He was not originally from this world. He was a diocre man in his past life, and when he was on his death bed, he only wished to be successful the next ti over.
When he crossed the darkness he was here, in a new world, with the sa na, and the body of a newborn. He was reincarnated and transmigrated. Apart from this fact, he did not rember anything else. For all he cared it was a good thing that will not give him any distraction. However, in this life and world also, he was just a diocre person.
Hao Ren was sixteen when he found out about the system, but there was a catch. The Omnipotent Husband System would only activate upon his marriage. Over the years, he tried many tis to date won, but they all just passed him a good person card, aning friend-zoning him.
...
The next morning, Hao Ren woke up because of his phone ringing. He was groggy and his head was aching so bad that he could not help but groan. He picked up his phone and asked, "Yes, Jin."
Jin was his best friend, who said, "Ren, did you forget the interview in Empress International?"
Hao Ren was shocked and said, "I will co right over, bring a change of clothes. I will et you at the complex opposite the company."
He cursed himself but quickly got up on his feet and rushed to the location. However, the curse of being average did not leave him. He did not make it to the company in ti. He cursed himself for wasting ten minutes in changing clothes and brushing his teeth.
His friend had been disqualified too but that guy went to join his girlfriend's small company. Hao Ren sighed as he trotted down the sidewalk. Unknowingly, he ca across the Marriage registrar building. His gaze fell over a couple walking out of the campus with big smiles on their faces. Hao Ren could not help but feel increasingly depressed by his current situation.
Just when he was about to turn around and get a taxi, soone held his hand. Turning around, Hao Ren found a beautiful woman, a kind that existed in his fantasy. However, since he already knew that such a woman was out of his league, he asked, "Is there anything you need from ?"
The lady replied in a cold manner, "Did you bring your identification card?"
Hao Ren nodded chanically, and the woman said, "Good, would you like to marry ?"
The young man smiled and thought, 'It seems I am still in a dream on the beach.'
He could not believe what was happening. His mind was in a fluster and the only chance where such a woman would ask him to marry her, was in a dream. Thinking like this, he nodded and the woman dragged him inside the building.
Hao Ren followed the procedure happily, he clicked one single photo and then signed the forms and relevant docunts easily. After everything was completed, the governnt official said, "Congratulations, you two are now married."
Hao Ren bowed to him in thanks before he turned to look at the lady who seed to be thinking sothing. Suddenly, another official said, "Co along, the office will provide you with a complintary commorative photograph."
The couple walked over a black board and stood together inside the fra. The photographer said, "Co on! You two are newly married, why don't you stand closer and give us a smile."
Hao Ren looked at the lady who took half a step closer, and did the sa before he turned to look at the cara with a smile on his face.
At this mont, a chanical voice echoed in his mind, *Ding: It is detected that the host has completed the activation quest. Activating System in two hours."
Hao Ren could not believe this, he had dread such a thing many tis, but his system would never activate, to confirm his doubts, he pinched his thigh hard and sensed the pain. A tear mixed with pain and joy ford at the corner of his eye and slowly slid down his cheek as the photographer clicked the picture.
The lady and the caraman were surprised and the forr asked in a calm manner, "Are you okay?"
Hao Ren turned to look at her and said, "This is the best mont of my life. Thank you."
He was euphoric, and his voice was so vibrant that the caraman could not help but click another picture of the couple.
