*After the curtain rises, Zhang Chen and Zhang Yun stand together at the lectern.*
Zhang Yun: A word of warning first.
Zhang Chen: We're starting with this already?
Zhang Yun takes out something resembling a contract and studies it carefully.
Zhang Yun: This book has an inconsistent update schedule and prose worse than an elementary school student's, among other things that may be hard to stomach. If you can't accept that, please turn left and leave.
Zhang Chen stops him: Wait, every other book tries to attract readers from the get-go. Why are we telling them to leave?
Zhang Yun: What can I do? The author said we had to get this out of the way first, so I can only follow orders.
Zhang Chen: What if someone doesn't mind and keeps reading, then gives us feedback?
Zhang Yun: Then we welcome everyone to share their thoughts. The author said he'll do his best to revise things until they're at an acceptable level.
Zhang Chen: In that case, that's fine. Anything else? Hurry up, our guests are getting impatient.
Zhang Yun: There is one more thing. This story has two male leads, and the author hasn't decided who the heroine is yet.
Zhang Chen: How lazy. If that's everything, pull the curtain closed. The story's about to begin.
Zhang Yun: You got it. Thanks for reading this far.
*As the curtain falls and closes, it rises again to the sound of a narrator.*
One night, after playing games until late as usual, Zhang Chen shut down his computer and was about to go to the bathroom when the screen began to glow. A ball of light emerged and merged with him.
When he woke up again, he found he'd left his old home and arrived in a world where all sorts of monsters and spirits could live side by side.
By a twist of fate, he discovered he wasn't just an ordinary person, and decided to uncover the truth about his identity.
