Chapter Text
Shen Yuan stared at his screen. That’s it? Proud Immortal Demon Way ends just like that? What the fuck kind of ending is this?!?!?! He frantically scrolled to make sure that yup, it indeed said [Completed].
Shen Yuan had spent a better part of his life he’d rather not admit to reading PIDW and what does that hack author do? End the novel with the most dissatisfying ending ever! Luo Binghe, the most OP protagonist to have ever existed, thousands of wives, ruler of all lands, just…well it’s not stated! An ambiguous ending. Shen Yuan sighed, rubbing his eyes. Yeah, an ambiguous ending wouldn’t be bad if the author had actually built up to it! It couldn’t even be considered an ambiguous ending, more like a cliffhanger! A cliffhanger!! What a lazy ending ! He had spent god knows paying that author's bills and this is the thanks he gets?! Luo Binghe had acquired yet another wife (she didn’t get a name, lazy author!) and during the middle of papapa, the new wife pulled a powder out of who knows where and blew it on Luo Binghe’s face. Said powder somehow made the heavenly demon sway and black out. That’s it! That’s the grand ending to Proud Immortal Demon Way! Shen Yuan’s keyboard shook as he furiously typed.
PeerlessCucumber: What the fuck?! What the fuck!! You dumbass author, what kind of ending is this????? Over 6,000 chapters of building Luo Binghe’s character and this is what you do to him! How could some unknown powder knock out the HEAVENLY DEMON Luo Binghe?!?? What kind of powder is it? Will we ever get the answer? Of course we won’t because you’re a shit auth….[1/70]
lbhmyluv: i actually agree with cucumber on this one guys…my binghe <//3
LongestEgg: you know it’s bad when most the comments agree with cucumber
pidwrot: idk i think the ending makes sense
PeerlessCucumber: and i think you lack critical thinking skills and basic literature comprehension
Shen Yuan sighed. Stood from his seat, made his way to bed and promptly flopped down face first. Face in pillow, Shen Yuan moved his hands under, gripping it with all the rage he felt and screamed. Luo Binghe…Binghe!! He didn’t deserve that shit ending! What happened after? Did the new wife have hidden strength and drag him to a hidden room and torture him?! Did she kill him?? Leave poor Binghe there lying on the forest floor naked?! The possibilities were endless and he hated that! Had Binghe not suffered enough already?! Stupid author! Stupid Novel! Shen Yuan thought as a not so familiar darkness overtook him.

[ERROR!! ERROR!! Dear user we ask for your patience as we-
Shen Yuan awoke with a dull ache in his head. What the fuck just happened..? Error? He opened his eyes slowly, the shining sun causing it to take longer than he would’ve liked to get a look at his surroundings. Okay, so he was in a forest. What the fuck am I doing in a forest? I definitely fell asleep in my bed last night. He couldn't quite recall actually falling asleep, does anyone really? There’s no way that system thing wasn’t just a weird dream right? Surely Shen Yuan wasn’t stupid enough to suffocate himself whilst sulking- not sulking- about PIDW? Right? Right?! He groaned, wanting to bury himself under ground, no way! What an embarrassing death! Shen Yuan moved to rub his temple but paused. That wasn’t a hand. It was a grey dirtied paw. A paw?? A paw! He twisted it around a bit and yup it was definitely attached to him! Okay okay so no need to panic. He’s simply been transmigrated (reincarnated?). Shen Yuan’s read a plot like this hundreds of times, no need to spend multiple chapters trying to figure out his situation. He accepted that he had indeed died (from suffocating himself in his pillow, embarrassing!!) and has somehow ended up in...a place. Oh god, who was gonna find his body? Would he just rot for a few days until his neighbors reported a strange smell? Shivering, he decided to box up those thoughts and lock them away. No need to worry about the past. So, he transmigrated and had an error.
“System?” he called out, but what came out sounded strangely like a cat. Like a meow from a cat. Great, Shen Yuan is a cat. Having received no response he could only conclude that the error from before meant he wasn’t supposed to really be a cat and the system had lost him. A great start to his second life, left with a system that couldn’t do its job! Useless! He didn’t even know what novel he was in! Maybe if it hadn’t started crying…
Enough sitting around! If this was his new life then so be it! Cats were cute, maybe he was lucky and became an extremely cute cat destined to be spoiled to the heavens! He was a spoiled young master in his previous life and intended to keep it that way. Determined, Shen Yuan got up to his feet. Looking around, this cat body of his had to be quite small, everything was so high up. Maybe he was a kitten? Though, he doesn’t have any experience in seeing the world through a cat's height. He slowly made his way down the forest- moving on all fours wasn’t natural yet! It felt odd and his stomach hurt. Ah, was he doomed with being in a sickly body in every life? Not fair! He served his time thank you very much! After a few tumbles, he eventually found a river. Yes! A river meant that along the way there would be a town, a town where he could cuddle up to some rich sap and live the rest of his life carefree!
Giggling to himself, he looked down in the river to finally get a good look at this new body. Dirty. He was a dirty cat. Dirt and grime covered all over, what color was he even? He looked scrawny too, poor cat must’ve died of starvation before he took over. Explains why his stomach hurt, maybe he wasn’t so doomed, just needed food. Tilting his head, he didn’t look like a kitten, maybe a small adult cat? Not much to compare to..huffing, he sat by the edge of the river staring at his reflection. He was quite an ugly cat to be honest. Only redeeming feature was his eyes, big, round and a beautiful jade color. If he could find someone to plump him up and take care of his fur he’d probably become quite cute. Would it be better to wash up or play into the poor abandoned cat act? Cats don’t like water though, right? Does he have natural cat instincts? Could he even wash himself in the river though, he doesn’t quite have hands..wait cats..don’t they lick themselves clean? His face scrunched at the thought. Okay, unless some out of control instinct possessed him he would not be licking himself! Poor abandoned cat act it was! Well, it’s what he was so it’s not really an act is it? He’d make his way down to a town and use his best puppy (kitten?) eyes to beg for some food and be taken in.
Standing up, Shen Yuan trotted along the river taking in the forest sights. It was peaceful, the flowing river, soft chirps of birds and other creatures couldn't quite match the sound to make for a nice stroll. It seemed like a quiet world, he could get used to this. The roar of an unknown creature not-so-far away interrupted those foolish thoughts and made his tail and fur spike. What the fuck was that?! He kind of wanted to check it out...seeing a creature that wasn’t from his old world would be pretty cool! He’d just make sure not to get too close.
Mind made up, Shen Yuan made his way over to the noise. Walking into the forest, it seemed that the creature was knocked down by something as it lay in a small crater. Scary! Whatever knocked it down had to be seriously strong! Shen Yuan hid in the bushes not far away but not close enough to touch and get in the way. Upon closer inspection, Shen Yuan could almost recognize the creature? It was similar to deer, huge antlers covered in what was that metal?! Even its body looked like it had bits of metal covering it. Its legs were long and twisted, though he couldn’t tell if that was how it naturally was or if they were broken.. It had four glowing eyes and sharp teeth…no way, this couldn’t be a Metal Head Deer could it?! Only a creature with such a dumb name would come from one shit novel. Before he could think about it any longer, a man appeared aiming a sword straight towards the deer’s throat. Ah, don’t aim there! If that deer is what he thinks it is, then a strike towards the throat would do nothing! A totally useless move! The metal head deer had a special type of metal that blended with its skin on its throat, giving it the illusion of an open and easy attack. Why did it not have this kind of metal on the rest of its body? Because of a lazy author.
The man’s sword managed to cut the deer’s neck a little before it started charging towards him with those huge antlers. Okay so its legs weren’t broken, scary!! The man dodged the attack effortlessly, leading the deer to charge right towards Shen Yuan. Oh fuck! He let out a yelp of surprise, the man’s head snapped directly to him. I’m just a small cat, save me! Sure he could try to move out of the way, but he’d never been the athletic type in his last life and it didn’t seem like this body much of one either. He was a small starving cat, give him a break! The deer was still very much charging towards him as the man managed to cleanly cut its head off. Woah sharp sword! Said head with huge heavy antlers attached fell right on Shen Yuan, promptly knocking him out. Ah, curiosity killed the cat, right?
