Was That Me

This is a world where martial artists split mountains with their fists, cultivators soar through the heavens on flying swords, immortal sects wage wars over ancient treasures, demonic clans kidnap geniuses, arrogant young masters court death before breakfast, and Heaven itself occasionally strikes people with lightning for reasons known only to itself. For everyone else, that's just another day.

Ren has no interest in becoming the strongest, the richest, or the next immortal. He has only one dream: to become a villain. Nothing grand—a small-time villain is perfectly fine. Steal a few treasures, rob a couple of cultivators, annoy some heroes, and build a reputation just bad enough that people cross the street when they see him coming.

Unfortunately, the world refuses to let him.

Every robbery exposes a corrupt sect. Every scam uncovers a conspiracy. Every failed assassination somehow eliminates someone who deserved it anyway. Every desperate escape leaves behind another miracle that convinces the cultivation world a mysterious mastermind is manipulating fate itself.

Now legends grow with every step he takes.

Ren has just one problem.

He really was trying to be the bad guy.
