I carefully carried the hot coffee in my hands as I walked into his office. Empty. I let out a small breath. "Pheew…" Looks like the CEO isn't here yet. I placed the coffee down and glanced around once before slowly sinking into the chair behind his desk. The chair was… different. Thick leather. Soft, but firm. Expensive. The kind of comfort that didn't ask — it took. For a second… I let myself relax. My thoughts drifted. My mother. It's been a month. No calls. No visits. But she's fine… Kelvin said so. "She's in a coma." My chest tightened. I closed my eyes. Just for a minute. Just one..... A hand gripped my jaw. Firm. Cold. My breath caught as my head was tilted upward, And then I saw him. My heart stopped. He was.. No… that wasn't normal. No man should look like that. Sharp features carved like they were designed, not born. A straight nose, defined jaw, lips that held no softness , only control. And his eyes… Cold. Not empty. Just… calculating. His silver hair caught the light, smooth and clean, like polished steel under moonlight. Not old , no ..it only made him look more dangerous. Too perfect. Too wrong. Too handsome. "Who are you?" he asked. His voice… Low. Smooth. Something that didn't ask twice. A shiver ran down my spine. I blinked, still half lost between sleep and reality. "Look, handsome… it's my dream. You don't really get to question me, okay?" A pause. Then A smile. Cold. Slow. Dangerous. "Your dream huh…?" he repeated. I nodded slightly, still dazed. "Okay." The word came out too easily. Too calmly. His gaze lingered on me like he was studying something. "Seems Erica finally found me exactly what I wanted…" he muttered. My brows pulled slightly. "…a brave, innocent little cat." My heart skipped. "But she didn't have to drug you." Erica…? Cat…? Drug…? This dream is getting confusing... Before I could think. He moved. Fast. Too fast. His hand slid to the back of my neck, pulling me forward... And his lips crashed into mine. My eyes widened. Warm. Firm. Possessive. "Mmm…" The sound slipped out before I could stop it. Why does this feel so real…? Is this how dreams feel? My body reacted before my mind could catch up.pleasure burned through my whole body....dreams does feel Good. My hands moved on thier own, sliding onto his shirt theninto his hair. Soft. Smooth. Too real. I pulled slightly. "This is too—" Pain shot through my lip. "Ouch!" He bit me. I froze. Pain. Real pain. My eyes snapped open fully. This isn't a dream. Oh no. Oh no. I'm in the CEO's office. I pushed against his chest, stumbling back as I shot up from the chair. My face burned. I couldn't even look at him. My head dropped immediately. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. With shaky hands, I pointed to the table. "Y-your coffee… sir." Silence. Heavy. Thick. I could feel his eyes on me. Watching. Measuring. I need to get out. Now. I turned quickly, reaching for the door. "Stop." Does it look like you get to walk in and out here by chioce??? I froze. Slowly… I turned back. "Who are you?" he asked again. This time, colder. Clearer. "My name is Eve, sir… your new personal assistant, sir." A scoff. Sharp. "Assistant?" His footsteps were slow as he moved closer. "Dozing off… in my chair… on your first day?" My throat tightened. "Seems like you'll be dozing off in a lot of places these days…" A pause. Then, lower till he got to my height level "…little cat." My fingers tightened around the door handle. "I..I have to go, sir." Coward. "Call me if you need anything else." I didn't wait. I opened the door and ran like he would chase after me. messing up on the first day of my mission!!! how ironic.

Konoha: A Shady Peaceful Life System

【Naruto + Single Heroine + Invincible + Slice of Life + System + Comedy】 Reincarnated into Konoha under the First Hokage, Kumotsuru Torifū has a simple, brilliant plan: be utterly, completely, magnificently average. With no cheats or special talents, he aims to emulate Homura and Koharu—living a blissfully boring life until a ripe old age, and maybe deliver a slap or two to Boruto and have him call him Great Grand Daddy. Then a system shows up. And it’s not a helpful one. This thing is shady, chaotic, and its only goal seems to be to torpedo his peaceful life plans. Chaos Events? Peace Points? This system is clearly a scam designed to manufacture drama! Why do I have to participate in it when others can clearly handle this! 【Ding! Chaos Event Complete: "Uchiha Madara’s Revenge." Reward: Ice Release!】 【Ding! Chaos Event Complete: "Stop the Nine-Tails Rebellion." Reward: ........】 【Ding! Chaos Event Complete: "Preempt the Fourth Ninja War." Reward: .........】 Despite his desperate want to nap and avoid plot, Torifū is shoved onto the front lines of every major catastrophe, forced to clean up messes left by legends and lunatics just so he can earn enough "Peace Points" to slack off. Meanwhile, the ninja world's elite are utterly convinced he's a selfless, benevolent god: Senju Hashirama: “Torifū is the true guardian of Konoha! His power shames even my own!” Senju Tobirama: “His strategic mind saved my life. He is the definition of a shinobi.” Sarutobi Hiruzen: “He refuses the title, but Torifū is the greatest Hokage we never had.” Shimura Danzo: “Forget root! I'm building a gacha game empire under his glorious, profit-minded shadow!” After decades of reluctantly saving the world, Torifū finally completes the system's final chaotic task. He drops his headband, ready for a well-earned lifetime of naps and nickel-and-dime D-ranks. He looks back at the village—now a utopian superpower feared only for its overwhelming peace and prosperity—and has a horrifying realization. Through a series of unfortunate, high-powered accidents… he’s become the undisputed God of Shinobi. Kumotsuru Torifū: “WAIT A MINUTE! This isn't what I wanted! I was trying to be a background character! System, you scammed me!!!” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the curious fellas out there wondering what's the chinese raws: Name: 木叶:平静生活的我让系统背刺了 English translation would be: Konoha: I, who lived a peaceful life, was backstabbed by the system By author: Yu玉 English translation would be: Yuyu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it's feasible, consider donating on at my patreon page, .com/claychampion.
