The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion - Chapter 1

I am going to die.That’s how the game goes.The less I know, the better—a hardcore otome game where the tragic villain, Johan Von Matilda, is fated to fall by his own daughter’s sword.A mere stepping stone for the protagonist to win the main heroine’s heart.And now? I’m him.“…Are you kidding me? I won’t let my daughter become a simp with no personality!”The problem is, I am just a healer with money and influence; my daughter hates me and is obsessed with him.The protagonist is obviously the one with unlimited plot armor. Blessed with Schrodinger’s Cat—an overpowered skill that makes him literally unkillable.Ding![System: Gambler’s Gambit Initiating…][All choices lead to a different ‘ending’… Choose wisely.][Earn points based on your choices.

This isn’t how it was in the game. Why is the protagonist… changing?”[Warning: Even though at face it appears like any normal webnovel, I will warn ya there are many uncomfortable things and strong topics, grimdark stuff, and tragedy, more like Reverbed Inanity, but with dark humor, not everyone can read it with straight face, so be prepared, but I think even if you never read books like this, you will like this, cause it's done in a pretty fresh way.]

He became the villain in the possessed game, the rival of the main character, and the second seat.

“...is that the end for me?”His eyes closed, accepting his fate. He thought it was the end. However, it was not.When Liam awoke from the endless darkness, he found himself in a world much different from his own―and in a body that was unfamiliar.“...[ The Golden Hero ] This is...”It seemed that he was given another chance at life. No longer as Liam, but as Rowen, a character from a novel.But, there was a slight problem.Rowen was a villain. A secondary villain at that.His fate was to be manipulated by the antagonist and killed by the hero.It was a tragedy. What could he possibly do?Of course, not wanting to let fate decide for him again, he took up his arms, stopping at nothing to prevent his tragic death.He had to survive in a cruel world where fate was not in his favour.If it meant killing the protagonist, the crown prince or even the main villain; he would do so.All so that he could live the life he wants.

While a certain young man hides in a certain Ruins City, wanting to become a tanky mage through passive farming.

Mages should focus on learning more spells and magic? There is no time to invest in body strengthening? Mages are defenseless when they run out of mana? None of these are a problem for Gurney and his Passive Farming System. Through the system, Gurney trains both his body and mind at the same time, he goes beyond the limits and logic of an ordinary mage. This is a mage who casts spells while tanking hits, his recovery speed surpasses even warriors and knights. This is the journey of a vigilant and careful mage who grows tankier and tankier.
