My daily life is not peaceful
Chapter 3 - The Power of All Creation

Chapter 3: The Power of All Creation

Luo Yun rubbed his forehead, hesitating. “Look, I’m not saying anything, but you look younger than me. When we go out together, people always assume we’re siblings, and you’re the one in primary school…” Judging purely by appearance, Luo Yun’s soft facial features, though not feminine, were quite handsome, turning heads on the street. At a glance, he and Nangong Nayue really seemed like siblings. “Tell me, what’s your surname?” Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow. “Luo…” Luo Yun blurted out instinctively, but seeing Nayue narrow her eyes, he sensed trouble and quickly corrected himself. “Nangong.” “Hm…” The petite doll-like girl nodded in satisfaction. “Call it out for me.” “…Sister.” “Good boy. I’ll make something nice for dinner tonight.” Luo Yun fell silent, at a loss for words. But in his heart, he didn’t mind calling her sister. One must know gratitude. When he transmigrated, he was just a kid. Without Nayue, he might’ve died in a foreign land. By all accounts, calling her an elder wasn’t too much. Besides, having a loli teacher as a sister was pretty cool, wasn’t it? It felt almost like being pampered (bao yang). When he was in a bad mood, he could tease her, and even if she scolded him, he’d still be happy. “Brush your teeth after eating. If you’re tired, rest in the next room. I’ll call you when it’s time.” Nangong Nayue said. Seeing sweat on Luo Yun’s forehead, she closed the window and turned on the air conditioning. Cool air replaced the warm breeze, instantly refreshing the room. “If you want tea, grab some from the fridge. Mine has brandy in it—minors aren’t allowed to drink.” Nayue, exuding a faint scent of alcohol, waved her hand and picked up a red pen, swiftly grading a stack of exam papers on her desk. “Midterms are coming. Make sure to revise properly.” “Got it…” Luo Yun replied lazily, tidying up his desk. Just then, Nayue, grading papers, looked up with a helpless expression. “By the way, don’t go out at night for a while. Those ghouls are stirring up trouble again. You know what I mean… Oh, and nice work on the novel.” She waved the latest issue of Sword Art Online beside her. “Hm.” Luo Yun paused, then headed to the next room. Kicking off his indoor shoes, he flopped onto a bed still faintly scented with perfume. The room’s temperature was pleasant, but Nayue’s warning kept him from sleeping. This world wasn’t just the Strike the Blood universe. Beyond demons, there were ghosts, spirits, man-eating ghouls, and other creatures yet to appear. The ghouls Nayue mentioned were from the wildly popular anime Tokyo Ghoul from his previous life. In that world, ghouls lived in hiding, but on Itogami Island, like other demons, they wore demon registration bracelets, monitored by the Man-Made Island Management Corporation. Any overstep triggered a warning, summoning attack mages. Most ghouls were well-behaved, but a few couldn’t resist their urge to eat humans, secretly attacking them. Ghouls existed not just on Itogami Island but worldwide. Thinking of his powerless past, Luo Yun sank into silence. “Agulola…” The image of that smiling, clingy girl flickered in his mind. Then, Luo Yun refocused, closing his eyes to think about his cheat ability. “The Destiny Designation System.” Like every transmigrator’s must-have golden thigh (jin da tui), he had one too. But this cheat only activated a year ago, having been dormant until then. No emotions, no consciousness—just a cold, mechanical cheat. He’d wondered if some big shot was controlling it, but eventually realised he was overthinking. It was just a cheat, nothing more. By completing designated tasks or achieving certain events, he could activate the system, with rewards based on the task or event’s scale and impact. In simple terms, it was a “lottery.” What infuriated Luo Yun was that it had no guaranteed rewards. Like a certain captain or a Chaldean tool, forget a single 648 or 518 pull—some unlucky souls could sink ten pulls and still not get a five-star. Mystics couldn’t save the unlucky, and money couldn’t change fate. Thinking about it brought tears. Luo Yun had thrown plenty of money at it in his past life. And his luck hadn’t improved much after transmigrating. During the Demon Spirit Coffin and Feast of Flame Night incidents, the system gave him two activation chances. The first boosted his memory, letting him recall forgotten things, though he still couldn’t memorise new material instantly. The second gave him some self-defence ability. All Creation. —The Power of All Things, the Flow of Existence, the Power of True World Reincarnation. Luo Yun remembered this was Altair’s power from the anime Re:Creators. By adding “settings” post hoc and consuming Recognition Power, he could theoretically gain any ability. But currently, with insufficient Recognition Power, he couldn’t fully unleash All Creation’s potential, leaving many abilities locked. Gaining Recognition Power was a stage he was still exploring. If he was right, participating in events and resolving them, making original story characters acknowledge his existence and impact, would earn him significant Recognition Power. Writing novels was both part of the task and a way to gain Recognition Power. To grow stronger and unleash All Creation without limits, only then would Luo Yun have the real capital to stand up to others.

Here, it humorously describes Luo Yun’s dynamic with Nayue. *Footnote 2: jin da tui (金大腿) – Literally “golden decorator-gold thigh,” a Chinese slang term for a powerful external advantage or cheat, like a system in a novel. Here, it refers to Luo Yun’s Destiny Designation System.
