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 epitome of average men. People who nobody would remember or miss when they were gone.
Just like at this moment, 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 some time 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 me to this beautiful world. I was so happy thinking you will give me some special ability to change my average fate.
What did you give me? You gave me nothing, but a broken system. Oi! System, wake up you freeloading parasite, wake up and tell me why did the god of systems fuck me 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 me what are you."
*Ding: I am the Omnipotent Husband System. My task is to make sure that the host achieves the supreme status among husbands in the world.*
Hao Ren chuckled and asked, "What are the requirement 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 me stronger or richer and then tasked me 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 time before he passed out on the beach itself. He was not originally from this world. He was a mediocre man in his past life, and when he was on his death bed, he only wished to be successful the next time over.
When he crossed the darkness he was here, in a new world, with the same name, and the body of a newborn. He was reincarnated and transmigrated. Apart from this fact, he did not remember 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 mediocre 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 times to date women, but they all just passed him a good person card, meaning 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?"
