[Technique Voucher]

You may select any technique from the story you are in and master it.

"Can you make it clear, what does 'master' exactly mean here?", I say after looking at the voucher's description.

[Mastery Levels]

Novice

Beginner

Advanced

Proficient

Expert

Master

Grandmaster

[When the host uses the voucher, he will be on the Proficient level]

[From there you have to improve the technique on your own]

"System show me the techniques I can learn"

A lot of techniques appeared in front of me. There were movement techniques, formation techniques, alchemy techniques, and many others. The techniques were from both demonic and righteous factions but most of the righteous ones were marked red.

"Why are these techniques marked red?"

[These techniques are in conflict with your already learned techniques]

"So I can't learn them?"

[The host can learn them]

"Really!", I say feeling a little happy

Sure, the demonic techniques were all strong but most had consequences in learning them so my options were limited. While the righteous ones were more convenient to learn and provided more freedom of use.

[Well if you do learn them, then your body will breakdown because of the conflicting natures of the techniques]

As I read the system's message, all my happy feelings were gone and I wanted to hit the system till it was near death. Why not say that in the first place instead of getting me hyped for no reason?

Now that I have some idea of how things work here, I should start using my bonuses but the problem is that I don't remember the whole story.

I do remember some stuff and how the plot progresses but I can't remember it clearly. So first of all, I should reread the novel and check when the important events will occur, then select the techniques and items I'll need to get through them. Later when I get more reversal points, I'll learn the Assassin's guide and, most importantly, Asmodeus's techniques.

Speaking of reversal points,

"How do I get reversal points?"

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

[Main Mission]

Kill the Protagonist 0/1

1000 reversal points

[Side-Missions]

Romance/Kill/Enslave Main Heroine 0/5

(Each heroine will give 500 reversal points)

[These are the missions that will provide reversal points, but they are not the only way to get them]

[You can get sudden quests and some changes in the plot will also award you with reversal potions]

[You can also get them by stealing opportunities from the protagonist and disrupting his plans]

'hmm, so that explains those 2 reversal points I got', I think to myself.

"System show me the plot book"

[Opening Plot Book]

'Let's read and understand where I stand right now so I can make a proper plan'.

…

In a few hours, I had finished reading the whole book. My reading speed and memory had increased tremendously. My memory was so good now that I did not need to open the plot book again. I don't know if it is because of my cultivation but this is very convenient.

After I had finished reading the book, I noticed a severe problem,

'The current me can't avoid my upcoming death in a head-on fight'.

The main reason for that was the difference in our cultivation realms. When he comes here, he will be in the Sovereign Soul realm while I am still in the Heavenly Soul realm.

10 cultivation realms were known to people here. Each realm had three stages that a person needed to pass to go to the next realm. The difference between a person who was in the first stage(Low) and a person who was in the second stage(Mid) was like heaven and Earth. The cultivation realms are:

Body Refinement realm

Qi refinement realm

Soul refinement realm

True Soul realm

Heavenly Soul realm

Sovereign Soul realm

Body Formation Law realm

Core Formation Law realm

Transformation Law realm

Ascension realm

The protagonist is one realm above me and that gap can not be closed in 2 months no matter how much of a genius Yang Lei was. Some of the things I got from the system will make me overpowered yes, but that will take some time and time is what I don't have.

I think of something and then ask the system,

"What will happen if I asked my mother or someone else to kill the Protagonist?"

[The Mission will be cleared]

"But?", I asked knowing that it won't be that simple

[You will get a D or C rating]

"What is this rating thing?"

[As mentioned before, you are being watched by many Gods.]

[At the end of your story, all the gods will give you a rating on how much they enjoyed your performance]

[So you have to make the story as interesting as possible to get as high a rating as possible]

[Higher ratings can get you better conditions when starting the next story]

After hearing the system's response, I fell deep in thought,

'It's like I am making a movie and they are the audience, huh '

'Anyway since I need to make the story interesting I can't just get people to kill him for me'

'First I should avoid my death and from there I'll work on killing him'

'But if I avoid my death then how will the plot progress?'

"If the protagonist can't get my demon body, how will the plot go on?"

[You don't have to worry about that because the story will go on no matter what]

[Even when there are changes in the story the major events will not change]

"That's a good thing", I say feeling a little relieved.

That means I have a lot of freedom and don't have to worry about the whole story changing because of my interference.

'Now let's make the plan'.

…

"This should be good enough", I say as I fold the scroll with all my plans and put it in my Space Storage Ring.

Now I had a plan that will work if no major changes occur in the plot, But I still needed to get the parts that will make it work.

As I was thinking about this, I feel someone's presence outside the door.

'Well, the first piece is already here', I think with a smile on my face.

"You may enter"

Lifen came in with a plain-looking girl with black hair and made her kneel on the ground. The girl looked at me with a frown as if I had murdered her family.

I glance and her and then start speaking to Lifen,

"What about those idiots?"

"All of them were taken care of as instructed."

"Good work, I'll reward you later for your hard work."

"Thank you, my lord."

Next, I turn my attention to the girl in the plain white robe,

"Beast, we can do this the easy way or the hard way"

The girl looked a little surprised but gave no response.

I sigh, look at the girl straight in her eyes, and order Lifen with a neutral face,

"After every third breath, cut her finger until she breaks her illusion"
