People in the Alliance, Time Management Master (Author: Do You Drink Coke?)

Time travel? Great!

Runeterra? Not bad!

A time management coach? I guess that'll do!

A sign of impending theft? A good job deserves a reward!

From Aatrox the Great Destroyer to Swift Scout Mushrooms, you can steal them all!

What are Fryegor and Silas? Do you think they can beat me, the permanent Frankenstein's monster?

…………

Mu Bai, the cheerful Sai Feng Nan, possessed an omen of theft, until his omen transformed into a jade shield of theft...

Caitlin: "Give me back my hat right now, or tonight... hehe, it'll be a cops and robbers game."

Syndra: "I clearly remember wearing them today... Mu Bai, did you take my black stockings?"

Ahri: "Hmm~ Darling's been up to no good again~"

Salafine: "Um... Mr. Mu Bai, could you please give me back my panties... Liang..."

……

Looking at the group of girls, some angry and some shy, Mu Bai felt that things were getting complicated.

[PS: This book is also known as "Omen of Theft? The Jade Shield of Theft!", "In the League, a Time Management Master", and "I Just Wanted to Steal a Skill, Why Do You All Say I Stole Your Hearts?"]

Chapter One: Signs of the Theft

The sand began to flow, like a collapsing vortex in an hourglass. An eerie glimmer of light pulsated and seeped into the night sky, and the constructed creatures leaped high into the air under the magnificent night, drooling and roaring wildly.

Mu Bai steadied himself and struggled to climb out of the quicksand. The broken sword, riddled with countless holes, trembled slightly in his hand.

There may have been an element of fear, but the main reason was exhaustion.

The squad was almost completely wiped out, and the surging void monsters seemed impossible to kill.

Their individual combat ability is not strong, and their carapace is not particularly tough; ordinary weapons can break through it. But... there are just too many of them.

For Mu Bai, who was just an ordinary gamer three days ago, this situation was truly terrifying.

It's a miracle that we've fought this far.

The monsters that quickly formed an encirclement filled him with despair.

"What bad luck, I'm going to die a heroic death just a few days after transmigrating..." Mu Bai cautiously stared at the void monsters, preparing for a desperate fight.

Three days ago, he was knocked to Runeterra by a dump truck.

After accepting reality, he had both good news and bad news.

The good news is that there's a system, a standard start for a time traveler, which isn't bad.

The bad news is... the system doesn't know how to use it.

On his first day after transmigrating, the system gave him a mission and then disappeared without a trace. As for the mission objectives, completion conditions, rewards and punishments, Mu Bai knew nothing about them.

No matter how much he called out or even cursed, the system remained silent, as if it had never existed.

Left with no other choice, he had to explore this strange world on his own. After about a day, he had managed to gather some basic information:

This is Runeterra, but it's different from the Runeterra I had in mind.

Because Runeterra has been massively invaded and occupied by the Void, most of humanity has died, and only a small group of survivors have taken refuge in Bandle City with the guidance and help of the Yordles.

Despite this, the Void Watchers still managed to find the magical portal to Bandle City and launched continuous attacks from Void monsters.

Fortunately, the rune mage Ryze and the four world runes he collected created a barrier that barely kept the void out. Only occasionally could some monsters break through the barriers and reach humanity's last refuge.

Under such dire circumstances, it was only natural that a healthy young man like Mu Bai would be drafted into the army.

Then, his squad was surrounded due to bad luck, and he was almost the only recruit left alive.

Now, he's almost finished with his life.

"I'm shivering with cold. It's either dump trucks or void monsters everywhere... Can this world ever get any better? How are we transmigrators supposed to live to satisfy the system? This world is full of... Damn, I forgot my lines."

As the void monster drew ever closer, Mu Bai muttered to himself, trying to quell the fear in his heart:

"Does the dog system's household registration book only have one page?"

"Kha'Zix can trigger Isolation if he goes to your base, right? Karthus's ultimate can only kill you, right? Sett's Skullbreaker can't stun you if he's in your base, right? Soraka's ultimate can only heal you, right?"

"The dog system will definitely get error 4001, and when a dump truck passes by you, the car stereo will definitely play 'How I long to embrace you in this mediocre life'."

"Dog System—"

A purple monster covered in carapace and slime suddenly leaped up, interrupting Mu Bai's final curse.

The latter's eyes narrowed, and with his last ounce of strength, he swung his longsword. At that moment, he felt his heart skip a beat.

The broken blade pressed against the claws, producing a series of sharp, piercing scraping sounds.

Mu Bai's sword could not advance any further, while the other void monsters quickly surrounded him.

The fear of death surged into his heart in an instant, and the suffocating feeling seemed to choke him.

But he would not give up—death terrified him, but it could not force him to submit.

"Switching one won't be a loss, pulling two will be a huge profit!"

The longsword was pulled back, then pierced through the monster's carapace, finally penetrating the viscous flesh hidden beneath the shell.

At the same time, several other void monsters surrounded him, their drooling mouths and sharp claws making Mu Bai completely give up hope of survival.

However, at the critical moment, she appeared.

A bright, scorching heat and a deafening roar of pain descended from the sky, striking instantly and halting the creatures, flipping them to their sides. A sour stench filled the air, mixed with the hissing sound of chitin dissolving.

In an instant, the monster vanished.

Instead, a graceful figure in purple appeared.

"If you want to live, stick close to me."

"..." Mu Bai slumped to the ground, staring intently at the back of that figure he was seeing for the first time but which was strangely familiar. The fear in his heart vanished.

Her attacks were violent yet dazzling, her movements elegant and beautiful, her words cold yet passionate…

Her infamy is known to everyone from Icathia to Vikola; she is the girl who has returned, and also the messenger of a dark future.

She is Kai'Sa.

"Are you hurt?" The girl's melodious voice became hoarse and shrill because of the second layer of skin covering her. "Or are you paralyzed with fear?"

"No, I just..."

Mu Bai stood up shakily, his steps slightly unsteady. He was severely exhausted, to the point that even walking was difficult.

“It’s just because it’s a pleasure to see you, Miss Kasha.”

"...You know me." Perhaps even Kai'Sa herself wasn't sure whether her statement was a question or a statement.

What puzzled her wasn't that the other person knew her name. After all, there were only so many people in the shelter, and it was normal for survivors who performed well to be recognized.

But... she didn't understand why the other party added the suffix "Miss" after her name.

Does a monster returning from the void, an unlucky guy infected by the void, deserve such an elegant title?

"Yes, I know her." Mu Bai smiled and followed behind the girl at a leisurely pace.

With her protection, one could roam freely in the aftermath of this battlefield without encountering any danger.

Just as he was about to say something more and try to improve his relationship with Kai'Sa, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly rang in his mind.

It's a dog system.

Chapter Two: Runes of Enlightenment

A sign of impending theft.

Mu Bai couldn't remember the last time he had heard this despicable yet glamorous name.

At that moment, his hatred for the dog system vanished.

Steal skills!

Moreover, judging from the system description, most stolen items are permanent! This is much better than stealing things like the Empress Dowager.

It's a shame this cooldown was a bit too long, otherwise I would have stolen everything in Runeterra and become the greatest Frankenstein's monster in history...

"Alright, the battle is over."

Kasha suddenly stopped, interrupting Mu Bai's secret delight.

"You should know how to get back, right?"

"Of course." Mu Bai nodded, while secretly glancing at the girl in front of him.

Due to the prolonged killing, she was covered in the blood of void creatures. Fortunately, her symbiotic "armor" had a predatory function, preventing her from looking too disheveled.

This symbiotic armor not only protected her body but also covered her entire face.

Even without seeing her face, she does indeed resemble a humanoid void creature based solely on her appearance.
