Chapter 2: The Terrifying Power of Infinite Reversal!

“Pfft, hahaha!”
“Wang Chen, you really are trash. You’re just an ugly duckling, and your class is so useless. This is killing me with laughter!”
“Some people even suspected you had a hidden class?”
“As if!”
Compared to the other voices whispering, Cai Kun was even more exaggerated. He laughed so hard he was practically rolling on the ground, unable to straighten his back for a long time.

On the other side.

Wang Chen stared at his own class panel, almost coughing up blood.

[Name: Wang Chen]
[Race: Human]
[Class: Life Shaman]
[Level: First Rank, Level 0]
[Strength: 60]
[Agility: 59]
[Mentality: 80]
[Constitution: 90]
[Skills: Hymn of Life, Totem of Nature, Lightning Barrier!]
[Hymn of Life: Summon a wave of healing that can jump between multiple targets, restoring a set amount of HP with each jump. The skill does not affect the same target twice, and the healing power decreases with each jump!]
[Nature Totem (Water): Summon a water-element totem pillar that provides continuous healing to nearby allies. Only one totem can exist at a time!]
[Lightning Barrier: Channel the power of nature to form three lightning shields, each blocking one instance of damage!]

“How can I be a Life Shaman?”
Wang Chen was speechless.
The Shaman class had three branches.
Elemental Shaman, Life Shaman, and Nature Shaman.
All were Shamans, but after the first rank, Elemental Shamans could learn advanced totem skills, while Nature Shamans could wield the power of lightning, rivaling Thunder Mages.
But the Life Shaman—
It was the weakest among Shamans, with skills focused solely on healing and self-preservation.

To be honest,
Wang Chen felt deeply unwilling.
Seventeen years.
His golden finger finally revealed itself today, and even his class was the most useless?
In a world crawling with vicious beasts, what good was a Life Shaman?
He might as well just end it and start over.

“Wang Chen, um… would you like to team up and level with me?”
Just as Wang Chen was wallowing in frustration,
A charming girl appeared before him.

“What the—!”
“Guys, am I hallucinating from laughing too hard? Is Lu Shiyu really inviting Wang Chen to team up and level?”
“This has to be a nightmare. Wake me up…”
“I only laughed a little too loudly—why am I being punished like this? Watching my goddess fawn over someone else?”

In an instant,
All ridicule aimed at Wang Chen on the field abruptly ceased.

“No way, has Lu Shiyu lost her mind? She’s actually inviting that loser Wang Chen to team up?”
“If she’s going to invite someone, it should at least be me…”

Cai Kun was so shocked he couldn’t even close his jaw.

And just as astonished
Was Wang Chen himself.
He gazed at Lu Shiyu, her pretty face tinged with red, his heart full of confusion.
They barely knew each other!
They’d hardly even spoken before—why was she inviting him to team up?

[Ding!]
[System activation successful!]
[Faced with the goddess’s invitation despite being so useless, how will you choose?]
[Option 1: Give up striving. Accept the invitation, activate the Ultimate ‘Freeloader System’, binding only to Lu Shiyu, and avoid ten years of detours.]
[Option 2: First act after job change—cut off romantic ties. Women only slow your blade. Refuse the invitation, activate the Infinite Reversal System!]

Just as Wang Chen hesitated over whether to accept, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
His golden finger had arrived!
A blue virtual screen appeared before his eyes, its options boldly displayed.

Glancing at the two choices, Wang Chen considered for only 0.1 seconds
Before decisively picking Option Two!

The Freeloader System, though tempting, could only be bound to Lu Shiyu.
He was just a Life Shaman.
Did that mean he’d have to rely on Lu Shiyu for his entire life?
Living off someone else might sound sweet,
But Wang Chen wanted to rely on his own efforts!
The Infinite Reversal System’s function wasn’t clear from the name alone, but at least it promised autonomy.
Wang Chen was satisfied.

So,
As Lu Shiyu gazed at him expectantly, and the crowd looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred,
Wang Chen spoke without the slightest hesitation:
“No.”

[Ding…]
[Congratulations, host. Choice completed. Infinite Reversal System activated!]

“My golden finger has arrived!”
Wang Chen’s eyes lit up.
He quickly checked the system’s functions.

[Infinite Reversal System: As the name implies, absolutely anything can be reversed an unlimited number of times, including but not limited to skills, equipment attributes, item effects, and more…]

The system’s explanation was clear.

“Interesting!”
“I thought it would make me punch myself instead of others!”
“System, reverse all my skills!”

Wang Chen commanded inwardly.

[Ding!]
[All host skills have been reversed. Please check. Reversing again will restore the original skills!]

Wang Chen opened his class panel.
His original skill effects had been completely transformed.

[Hymn of Life: Summon a death chain that leaps between multiple targets, dealing damage with each jump. The skill does not affect the same target twice, and the damage increases with each jump!]
[Nature Totem (Water): Summon a water-element totem pillar that deals continuous damage to nearby targets. Only one Evil Totem can exist at a time!]
[Lightning Barrier: Channel the power of nature to form three lightning spheres that wrap around the enemy, dealing damage!]

Three offensive skills?

Staring at the descriptions of his reversed skills,
Wang Chen was stunned.

His system was incredible.

The original healing chain was a basic Life Shaman skill, but its healing was so weak it couldn’t even compare to a healer’s basic spell.
But after reversal,
It had become a group-damaging weapon, dealing true damage.

The water totem’s original healing was also mediocre, only useful after battles to save on healing resources.
But reversed,
It became a damaging magic circle that inflicted sustained true damage and slowed targets.

Even the original Lightning Barrier, once a lackluster defensive skill,
Now became an active crowd-control tool.

Good heavens.
His Life Shaman had transformed from a trash healer into a devastating group-damage mage with true-damage abilities.

“My skills can be restored!”
“That’s like switching instantly between healing and damage modes—healing when I want, attacking when I want!”
“The strength of my class is…”
“It’s already on par with some hidden classes!”

Wang Chen was overjoyed.

Moreover,
He noticed the skill names hadn’t changed. Meaning, when he cast a reversed skill, others would still think he was using healing abilities.
But in reality, they were high-damage skills.

Didn’t that make him the ultimate trickster?

Just imagining his enemies getting “healed to death” while totally off guard filled Wang Chen with excitement.

This was like a cow stepping on a live wire—unstoppable and electrifying!

However,
As Wang Chen reveled in excitement, the others around him were stunned.

Wang Chen had rejected the school beauty’s invitation?!

Had awakening such a useless class driven him mad?

“Wang Chen… well, sorry to have disturbed you.”

At this moment,
Seeing Wang Chen’s resolute answer, the blush faded from Lu Shiyu’s face, replaced by awkwardness.
She turned back toward her class’s team,
But as she did, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

“Damn it!”

“That bastard Wang Chen actually made my goddess cry!”

“Screw this, I can’t stand it. Brothers, let’s teach him a lesson!”

As the crowd grew furious,
A cold smile flashed across Cai Kun’s face.

“Stupid Wang Chen, turning down the school beauty’s invitation!”
“With Lu Shiyu so heartbroken, this is the perfect time for me to shine!”

With that thought,

“Wang Chen, you’ve gone too far!”
“Lu Shiyu was kind enough to invite you to her team. Even if you didn’t appreciate it, couldn’t you have let her down gently?”
“Look, you made her cry. I challenge you to a duel!”

With that, Cai Kun stepped forward and roared at Wang Chen.

“Now this will be good!”
“Serves him right for making the goddess cry!”
“Kill the Dust Dog, steal the goddess… Duel! Duel!”

At this, all the simps in the crowd rallied behind Cai Kun, watching Wang Chen with mocking faces.

Damn it.
They couldn’t win the goddess for themselves, and Wang Chen dared to refuse her?
What was he thinking—trying to prove he wasn’t a worthless class by rejecting her?
Unforgivable.

Watching the crowd jump around like a flock of frenzied sheep behind Cai Kun,

“Cai Kun, you really are the sheep king,”
Wang Chen said helplessly.

Just as he was about to leave the Awakening Platform,
A figure appeared, blocking Lu Shiyu as she returned to her class’s ranks.

It was Lu Han.

“You’re the eldest daughter of the Lu family!”
“How could you ignore your status and make such a reckless decision about your future? You’re bringing shame to the Lu family!”
“I’ll inform Father and let him decide. In the meantime, reflect on your actions!”

Lu Han’s face was ashen as he looked at Lu Shiyu, his eyes a mix of pain and disappointment.
His sister was proud by nature and rarely took the initiative, only to be rejected by this boy.
She might be able to endure it—but he could not!

With that,
Lu Han turned and faced Wang Chen.

“Wang Chen!”
“I don’t know what trick you used to interact with Shiyu,
“But remember, it’s only because of her naivety. From this day forward, you are not to come within half a step of her!”
“You’re just a worthless support class. In status, in future, you’re worlds apart from Shiyu!”
“Your choice today was wise—had you accepted her invitation, you’d have no future at all!”

Lu Han looked at Wang Chen with eyes full of disdain and disgust.

“…”

Originally, Wang Chen just wanted to leave and find a quiet place to level up.
But hearing Lu Han’s words, his expression darkened.

What nonsense about “having a connection with her?”
He had nothing to do with her!
She had invited him—how was that his fault?

“First: I have no connection with your sister, never have, and possibly never will.”
“Second: Even if there was, that’s between her and me—it’s none of your business.”
“Third: Class is only a starting point. Even support can become godlike.
So don’t impose the Lu family’s values on me!”
“Fourth: Your threats mean nothing to me—because I don’t care!”
“You may be stronger than me now, but the future is far from certain!”

While everyone expected Wang Chen to back down in front of such pressure,
He met Lu Han’s gaze unflinchingly and spoke with resolve.

The field fell silent.
All eyes were fixed on Wang Chen and Lu Han.

Who could have imagined
That Wang Chen, freshly awakened as a useless Life Shaman, would dare to challenge the legendary King-ranked class, the Holy Dragon Knight?
