1: Being followed by the school beauty at the start?

[Brain Storage Area, Alternate World]

[This is not a pure 'All-People Class Awakening' story, but rather a multi-System Spiritual Qi Recovery setting.

The early stage will focus on the Professional System; at 100,000 words, Roleplay and Mythical Recovery Systems will be added. (The 'eating' starts from Chapter 115, high-speed content)]

...My name is Jiang Ruolai.

I am not an Empress, nor am I a Rebirth.

However, I have awakened the Wish Diary System!

The System says that as long as I complete tasks, I can obtain rewards.

Even a Mythical Rank Profession or better rewards are not impossible!

The first task is for me to get closer to a future super big shot.

It wants me to invest in and befriend the other party in advance!

I believed it.

And now... "Next, Shen Pan!"

Jiang Ruolai looked up at the handsome youth walking toward the Awakening Stage.

She looked at that future big shot mentioned by the System.

Secretly, she made up her mind!

Once this was over, she would follow him and pretend it was an accidental encounter!

"Investing isn't giving for nothing; it's to ensure I have a more beautiful future!"

In the end, it would be a win-win!

She, who was so well-prepared.

She would win!

"Task reward, here I come!"

..."Martial Arts Talent, 3 points!"

"Awakening Profession... Orange, orange light! It's actually an Epic-rank Profession, [Arcane Master]!"

The Proctoring Teacher looked shocked and joyful:

"Congratulations, Classmate Shen Pan, on successfully Awakening an Epic-rank Profession. You will surely become a pillar of Great Xia in the future.

I look forward to you achieving excellent results in tomorrow's Professional Introductory Assessment!"

"Thank you, teacher."

Shen Pan nodded calmly, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he walked toward his class.

He walked faster and faster, until he was strutting with an arrogant, swaggering gait.

If it weren't for the people from other schools present and those big leaders on the stage, he would have wanted to shout: "I made it!"

Having been transmigrated for eighteen years without Awakening any Golden Finger.

He once thought he could only rely on persistence and hard work to be an ordinary person in this life.

Now that he had finally awakened an Epic-rank Profession, he had to show off properly in the name of his father.

How else could he demonstrate the awesomeness of his position as the Off-campus Mobile Food Committee Member?

Do they even understand the weight of bringing twenty breakfasts every day and becoming the Devil King who suppresses the whole class!

Facing the expressions of the entire class—envy so intense they were gnashing their teeth, practically wanting to roll on the floor to show their respect.

Shen Pan suppressed his jubilant mood, spread his hands, shrugged, and sighed slightly.

"My unfilial sons, what should I do? It's actually a Mage-type Epic Profession, even though I clearly wanted to be a Warrior."

As soon as he spoke.

He successfully drew middle fingers from some and a bitter smile from his Class Teacher.

"Damn! Master Shen is acting cool again, someone come and shut him up!"

"Is this for real, big brother? I'm a green-quality blank-slate Warrior, want to swap?"

"Godfather, I'm a noob, please carry me through the assessment!"

The Class Teacher gave a light "cough," jokingly interrupting his students' "criticism session."

"Stop howling. If you keep this up, my job title evaluation will be delayed again."

Shen Pan successfully Awakening an Epic-rank Profession brought glory to the class and school, so he was naturally happy.

But this was a public occasion after all, an incredibly solemn Awakening Ceremony that decided the future fates of countless high school seniors.

In short, it was better to be a bit more dignified.

Looking at the other students in the hall who hadn't been tested yet—either pale and breathing heavily or closing their eyes in silent prayer.

Everyone obediently quieted down.

Just as Shen Pan was browsing his profession panel.

[Ding! Detected that the host is participating in the Awakening Ceremony, the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing System has been bound!]

[Task generating, please wait...]

Hmm?

A System!?

Shen Pan looked at the light screen that suddenly appeared before him without changing his expression, feeling somewhat surprised.

He was certainly satisfied with his Epic-rank Profession.

But as the ancients said:

Awakening a profession is the path to invincibility, but having a System is an extra path!

Profession Awakening is divided into three levels:

The lowest-level Common Profession (White), also known as Lifestyle Professions.

Official Professions, divided into Excellent (Green), Rare (Blue), and Excellent-rank (Purple).

And finally, Transcendent Professions: Epic (Orange), Legendary (Gold), and Mythical (Rainbow)!

Shen Pan wasn't sure if there was currently a way to upgrade profession quality on Blue Star.

Even if there was, the requirements would likely be extremely harsh.

This [Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing] came at a good time!

At this moment, their class monitor went up and awakened an excellent-rank profession; Shen Pan hadn't even had time to congratulate them.

The System's emotionless voice rang in his mind, and the light screen updated accordingly.

[In the period of the Fourth Transcendent Awakening, you have finally come of age and are walking into the Awakening Hall with an excited heart, hoping to successfully birth a Seed of Spiritual Power.]

[You watch as the commoner in front of you only awakens a mere excellent-rank profession, and you can't help but sneer inwardly.]

[The path of the Second Transcendent Awakening is already a relic of the past.]

[excellent-rank professions simply cannot break through level 100; the ceiling is too low!]

Setting aside the fact that this System clearly bound the wrong person or was even ahead of its time.

Shen Pan looked at the information given by the light screen with some bewilderment.

"Wait, buddy.

I just awakened an Epic-rank Profession, and you're telling me it's a relic of the past?"

Is the future power creep really that fast?

"However, Professionals are indeed version 2.0, having suddenly spread across Blue Star ten years ago.

And the very first transcendent System was the martial arts system from twenty years ago!"

It was just that because the martial arts system leveled up too slowly, many Martial Artists practiced for a lifetime and were still not as good as a single artillery shell.

They had already been completely outclassed by the Professional System.

[It is finally your turn to awaken. Under the flattering gazes of several lackeys and the envious, resentful eyes of many commoners.]

[As a Second-generation Cultivator, you confidently place your hand on the Awakening Stone.]

[Then, a flash of white light appears that makes your heart stop and your face go numb; you have successfully awakened a Lifestyle Profession—Masseur.]

[Other than that, you have no other talents manifest. To put it bluntly, you are trash!]

[The eyes of those commoners you once bullied, targeted, and harassed using your background have undergone a subtle change.]

[It is pity and disdain; it is mockery and satisfaction! You will become a laughingstock, bring shame to your Ninth Tier Peak parents, and be ridiculed by your siblings!]

[To prevent such a thing from happening, you recall your parents' merciless words from back then:]

["If you have no talent, then go die!"]

[Task: Go to the rooftop (Countdown: Thirty minutes)]

[Reward: A complete collection of basic skills matching your own profession!]

Shen Pan: "???"

Is this right!?

This sudden reversal caught him off guard; he hadn't expected it at all.

Didn't you say 'Heaven-Defying fate-changing'?

The protagonist is about to die!

Shen Pan complained inwardly, but looking at the reward given by the System, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.

As an [Arcane Master], he needed constant accumulation and was relatively weak in the early stage.

If he had these Spells right from the start.

Then in tomorrow's assessment, he could easily secure a good result!

He had to take it!

"Old Wang, I'm going out for some air!"

Shen Pan quickly sent a message to the Class Teacher, and after getting the reply "come back soon."

He put away his phone and slipped out under the puzzled gazes of his Classmates.

He jogged all the way and took the elevator to the top floor of the building where the Awakening Ceremony was being held.

When Shen Pan pushed open the door to the rooftop and was greeted by the midday sun.

[You recall your glorious life as a bully and the twisted state of your Family; you can't help but rub your nose and step onto the rooftop with a face full of regret.]

["In my next life, I want to be a Loli Succubus!"]

[After leaving your last words, you go to the edge of the rooftop and leap.]

[Task completed, reward issued: Complete Collection of Basic Spells!]

"The protagonist just died like that?"

Shen Pan's expression was strange; it was the first time he had seen a System where the host died at the start.

Even if it wasn't him personally.

"Buzz!"

Shen Pan felt a hundred very practical and powerful Spells appear in his mind.

For example, cultivation-style Spells like Lightning Strike Technique, Fireball, and Golden Needle Technique.

They dealt impressive damage while having low consumption!

There were also Western-fantasy-leaning Spells like Force Shield, Mage's Hand, and Feather Fall.

Extremely convenient and useful in many ways!

And their proficiency levels were all automatically maxed out!

Just as Shen Pan had breathed in some fresh air and was preparing to return to the ceremony hall, clear footsteps came from the stairwell.

The System light screen refreshed again.

[In the Middle Stage of the Fourth Transcendent Awakening, because Jiang Ruolai, who is a councilor, often went missing while guarding the front line, she once almost caused the fortress to fall.]

[Some councilors in the Blue Star Council suspected she was secretly in contact with Otherworld experts and was preparing to betray Blue Star's interests and defect.]

[So, they sent you—who had quietly reached level 140, promoted to the Legendary Rank, and had no public identity—to investigate her.]

[On a sunny day, while you were sneaking into Jiang Ruolai's bedroom to search for evidence.]

[You were shocked to find a narrow spatial rift inside her wardrobe.]

[You became even more certain that this was the reason she often went missing, and you stepped into it without hesitation!]

[Just as you were cautiously moving forward and exploring, constantly recording the parameters of this Otherworld.]

[Clear footsteps came from behind you.]

[You are being followed!]
