I’m Dying of Laughter, I Survive Entirely by Talking My Way Out

[Two Male Leads, Supernatural, Interstellar. Foreshadowing early on, explained later. CP: Ji Ying. Ongoing, updated daily, at least 6,000 characters per chapter.]

Lin Sheng, an inheritor of the arcane arts whose powers were once constrained by Heaven, falls asleep and wakes up amid the ruins of the Interstellar Alliance. This is a world abandoned by the gods. He has no money and is tormented by foul-smelling mutant plants. After finding a companion, he gets by scavenging for junk.

After a twist of fate brings him to the Upper World, everything begins to change.

The Interstellar Alliance is only a little over three hundred years old, but the underworld has long since gone on strike.

Are the ghosts collected and tortured into super-energy cores proof of humanity’s moral collapse or the corruption of its values?

Is Eden, an AI that appears to serve humanity, a triumph of technological civilization or a vengeful spirit hiding a sinister conspiracy?

To work his way into the heart of power, Lin Sheng has no choice but to build his strength at military school while running a side business inspecting haunted houses, catching ghosts, and selling talismans.

Just as everything seems to be falling into place, he discovers that Ji Ying isn’t human.
