NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: CH: 1 I have crossed into a novel! On top of that, my identity is more than 666
{Chapter: 01 I have crossed into a novel! On top of that, my identity is more than 666}
Lin Yuan had a strange expression on his face as he processed the memory that was now in his mind.
It seems like I've crossed over.
Even more surprisingly, he had found himself in the world of a power fantasy urban romance web novel he had recently finished reading.
The title of the book was "The Strongest Soldier King Conquers the Flowers."
The story takes place primarily in Jiangbei City, China.
It's a power fantasy about the protagonist, Ye Feng, a retired soldier king who returns to Jiangbei City after serving abroad. This marks the beginning of his rise to fame.
As Ye Feng gains recognition across China, he encounters countless beautiful women along the way. Among them are the campus belle, the cold female president, the alluring policewoman, a beautiful doctor, a pair of charming twins, his wealthy second-generation fiancée, and even a hot nun…
However, the villain of the story, Lin Yuan, meets a tragic end.
As he opposes the protagonist, he is constantly face-slapped—a recurring theme in many Xuanhuan Urban Novels. To make matters worse, his woman betrays him for the protagonist, and his family ultimately goes bankrupt, despite Lin Yuan being a super rich and handsome guy.
"Can I remove myself from this world?" Lin Yuan muttered in frustration as he thought about the tragic fate of his character.
[Ding! The Counterattack System has started!]
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as he heard the voice echo in his mind.
Having read his fair share of novels, he was no stranger to the concept of systems.
"How useful is this 'Counterattack System'?" Lin Yuan wondered.
[The objective of the Counterattack System is to assist the host in executing counterattacks, preventing the host from making the typical rookie mistakes…]
[The host will have opportunities to make choices at critical points in the story, with rewards based on the decisions made.]
[Additionally, by plundering the opportunities, luck, status, etc., from the original protagonist, the host can earn Counterattack Points, which will, in turn, make you stronger!]
Lin Yuan understood the system's mission right away.
He didn't want to end up like the character in the original story, humiliated and bankrupt.
Armed with his knowledge of the plot and the system's help, Lin Yuan decided to take control of his fate.
"Nope. Now it's my destiny, like a cat chasing after a toy!"
"I'll steal your opportunities, snatch your luck, and take your women. I want to crush the protagonist's halo with my own hands!"
[Since the host has understood everything, the story will officially begin from now!]

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan found himself sitting in a coffee shop.
An extremely beautiful woman was seated across from him.
Her beauty made it seem like she had come out of a painting. Her long blue hair dangled over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her facial features were truly flawless. When you combine the two, it was enough to stupefy most people. Any person would find it enjoyable to just look at her face alone. The perfect hourglass figure with big breasts, big ass and slim waist under her blue dress would make it more difficult for any man to gaze away from her.
It was hard to find any shortcomings in her appearance. Alas, her pretty face was icy cold at the moment and impatience could be seen in her eyes.
'She really lives up to the role of the perfect heroine with her being even more dazzling than most super models. Even if I'm harsh with my judgment, she'll still score highly.'
Lin Yuan thought to himself, his expression calm.
The beautiful woman before him was none other than the number one heroine in the novel and his fiancée, Yan Ruyue.
Although she was technically his fiancée, the engagement had been arranged by their families.
Yan Ruyue didn't harbor any feelings for him. In fact, she actively disliked him.
In the novel, Lin Yuan was portrayed as an absolute sycophant, constantly trying to win Yan Ruyue's favor with over-the-top, submissive behavior.
But this never got him anywhere. In the end, he lost all his wealth and his life. The protagonist even destroyed his family and left them bankrupt.
'Truly, the simp king didn't die a good death…'
"But I'll never be a groveler!" Lin Yuan shook his head as he thought.
When Yan Ruyue saw him shake his head, her patience wore thin. She could no longer hold back and blurted out, "I called you here today to tell you something…"
Lin Yuan immediately recognized this moment—it was a key point in the book when he, as the original Lin Yuan, would relentlessly pursue Yan Ruyue until she couldn't take it anymore. She had invited him to this café to confront him.
However, instead of retreating, Lin Yuan's courtship would intensify.
Yan Ruyue had no idea that this version of Lin Yuan wasn't the same as the original. So, she continued, "Can you stop following me? It's really annoying. If you have time, you could…"
"Okay," Lin Yuan unexpectedly interrupted.
"Ah!" Yan Ruyue was taken aback by his sudden response.
She had prepared herself for a long speech to convince Lin Yuan to stop following her, but instead, he agreed immediately and even cut her off. This left her flustered and uncomfortable.
Yan Ruyue didn't know that this 'Lin Yuan' wasn't the obedient, groveling fool she was used to. He wasn't interested in a long conversation with her.
"Do you promise not to follow me anymore?" Yan Ruyue asked, her expression full of disbelief.
"Why would I follow you?" Lin Yuan replied with a hint of sarcasm.
"Uh…" Yan Ruyue was momentarily speechless.
"Is there anything else? If not, I should be going now," Lin Yuan added, his tone indifferent.
Yan Ruyue stared at him, her lips slightly parted, unsure of how to respond. Did Lin Yuan take the wrong medicine today? Not only did he agree to stop following her, but he was also preparing to leave already.
If it were the original Lin Yuan, he would have continued to pester her, but this was not that Lin Yuan.
"Well, at least the conversation went smoothly," Yan Ruyue thought, feeling a bit relieved as she reached an agreement with him. She picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan called out to her, "Wait a minute."
"What?" Yan Ruyue turned around, annoyance evident on her face.
Could it be that Lin Yuan was going back on his word and would continue pestering her after all?
