The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

(This chapter will temporarily restore the protagonist's original name)

-

There have been too many failures.

Zhou Mu thought back on his life, but found that in those mediocre decades, there was nothing worth mentioning.

Since my unforgettable student days, I seem to have been failing all the time - study, love, work, career, I have never been successful in anything.

Although some people have said comforting words to him like "You've done well enough", failure is failure, and he has never received the winner's reward.

——Although we can always say that experience can be used next time, but how many times do we have to fail before we are done?

My thinking seemed to become clearer, as if I had thrown away a lot of burdens.

Oh, right, didn't I just fail again? It seemed like I had no chance of turning things around this time.

...Also, there is really no way to turn over now, in the physical sense as well.

——So stupid, I thought maybe I could become successful after traveling through time, but the result is still the same as before.

Zhou Mu was not afraid of failure because he was almost used to this feeling.

Of course, he is just an ordinary person, and it is inevitable that he will have some emotional fluctuations after failure... However, as he grows older, the various impulses that were often out of control when he was young have become much calmer.

What's the point of being angry? If you're sad, just go home and cry for a while - no matter what you think, a new tomorrow will still come.

——What did I do this time? Oh...it turns out that I didn't help the poor young master win back his honor.

As his confused thoughts were turning around, a sad and lonely scene suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Mu's eyes.

...No, do I have eyes now?

What appeared in front of his "eyes" at this moment was just an immature big boy who had lost his right eye and was lying peacefully on the bed, letting the faint starlight outside the window shine on his body.

...That child was indeed a poor one. Even after burning everything he had, he still got nothing.

Zhou Mu prayed sentimentally for the boy's deceased soul to have peace in the afterlife, and then his thoughts returned to himself.

If the memories that flashed through my mind were correct, my soul should have been living in this boy's body before.

By the way, why did I travel through time? I didn't seem to want to die in my previous world, right?

What was I doing before I traveled through time? It seemed that my startup company had lost market share to competitors, and the losses had exceeded my tolerance limit... so I was forced to announce the company's dissolution plan to all employees that day.

Although many people were reluctant to leave and said they wanted to work with me for a while, I felt that doing so would only delay the bright future of these young people, so I made up my mind to dismiss everyone.

——I seemed to have drunk quite a lot that night, and I had to pay severance pay and compensation the next day... Oh no! If I had traveled through time that night, wouldn't I have become a rubbish boss who didn't pay employees severance pay and disappeared without a reason!

No! I have to go back and deal with this matter! This is a matter of principle!

In fact, Zhou Mu never really wanted to give up.

If you fail, learn from your mistakes and start over. Although the accumulated experience may not necessarily lead to success next time, it can at least help you avoid detours.

If you are knocked down, just stand up again - as long as you are not dead, you can keep fighting until the day of victory comes.

Of course, if you die halfway, you can only say it's bad luck.

...No, I think I'm already dead? Ahahahaha... I'm so unlucky!

After the sad, self-deprecating thoughts circulated in his consciousness for a few times, they were thrown out of the sea of ​​​​spirituality again.

Dead? That's okay, right? I can still think now, right? So I should start thinking about what to do next!

……

Zhou Mu has been an optimistic person from the beginning.

If he was not an optimist who was good at comforting himself, he would have lost the motivation to live in the face of constant failures and chosen to commit suicide.

Even though he traveled to another world, his soul entered the body of a weak person, and his thinking and personality were influenced by that person's remaining spirit, he never lost his optimistic attitude.

If you die, bad luck - but if you're still alive, keep moving forward.

——But how can we move forward without a body?

Some confused memories flashed through his mind again, and Zhou Mu finally remembered why he had become like this... he didn't know how to describe it.

The body of the big boy named Aarons Moti has now been completely exhausted of soul energy and can no longer move.

Can you become the master by inserting your soul into someone else's body? Is there such a good thing in the world?

If this is really possible, then why don't I choose a strong and handsome man? Ah... maybe being a woman is not bad?

Of course, these were just boring jokes because he had nothing else to do now.

…I can no longer use that body, so I have to think of other ways.

Some things are easy to say but very hard to do... just like the current situation where there is absolutely no way out.

...Without a body, I'm just a wandering ghost. It's no use just being optimistic mentally!

So what should I do now! I can’t communicate with anyone in this state! Without a body, I can’t even think normally, let alone communicate with others…

——Wait, something seems wrong?

Zhou Mu suddenly realized that his current condition seemed a little abnormal.

I can no longer use Aarons Morty's body, so even if I have to use my brain to think, it shouldn't be able to function.

But now, not only can I let my thoughts run wild, my consciousness has even left my body and is floating outside.

...Do I have this ability? I don't think so.

The mental power and high-speed calculation ability that he had been using before actually belonged to that body. His soul in this different world did not gain any special abilities.

So after eliminating the wrong options, the remaining answer is obvious.

——Is there anyone who has made his soul regain consciousness for a moment?

"Ah - I didn't expect you to react so quickly, little one. I thought we would have to wait a few days."

…It’s true.

……

"But we can't stay here for too long. After all, you will be buried soon."

Listening to the steady voice that came from nowhere and made him feel at ease, as if it was the voice of a female elder at home, Zhou Mu's originally somewhat lost mood became much better.

Saying that he was going to be buried? This was understandable. After all, the body could no longer wake up, so it was normal for him to be considered dead.

But there's nothing we can do about it, this result is just bad luck for me.

"Ha, you're really open-minded... You know your end is coming, but you don't have any complaints about it?"

——You have to be alive to complain, right? Besides, if I were really alive, I wouldn’t really want to complain, after all, there’s no point.

If he could continue to live, Zhou Mu would certainly not choose death.

But now he cannot control his own destiny, nor does he have any way to regain his life... If he wants to complain about this situation, he can only say that he didn't do well enough.

"Alas... this dull, honest, yet shining soul is really not suitable for such a meaningless ending."

...Is this a compliment? Never mind, just take it as it is.

But why does this person appear here?

Although there was not much seriousness in her words, this woman who had the kindness of a mother and the majesty of a teacher was still someone he respected from the bottom of his heart.

——If you came here just to give me a final ride, I am really flattered.

"If you really want that kind of ending, it's not like we can't help you. But... you don't want it to end like this, do you?"

Don't want to end -

That's natural! Who wants to end their life with a record of complete defeat? At least let someone win once... It doesn't matter if it happens a few more times!

"If the road you are about to take is full of thorns and suffering, and the result may be even more miserable than it is now, or even that there will be no chance to start over...what will you choose?"

——Need I say more?

In the bright night sky outside the window, the stars are swaying and shining, as if pointing the way for the travelers who are about to set out in the darkness.

…Even if the road ahead is long, no one knows where they will go.

——Even if I never return, the sky, earth and stars can witness the path I have taken!

"Ahahahahaha——then let me help you point out the path that you should have taken originally!"

The night is long, so the stars will continue to shine.
