(No romance, a wish-fulfillment story, an already powerful heroine from the start, post-apocalyptic wasteland, ensemble cast, infinite-worlds adventure.)
After working like an ox for ten thousand years, Recorder No. 1, Qin Ran, is retiring tomorrow. She's so happy!
Once retired, she'll visit the Martial Star to check out handsome musclemen, then the Unstar to admire beautiful women with long legs. After visiting dozens, or even hundreds, of places, she'll head into the Void for a dangerous adventure. Perfect!
The World's Will, the Void, and the various troublemakers behind it all: “Hey, sorry to bother you, but your overtime application has been approved. It can't be appealed.”
Qin Ran: “What nonsense? I'm not doing it.”
“How about half a Chaos Heart?”
“Still not doing it.” Qin Ran was tempted.
“What about a way home?”
“No.” Qin Ran hesitated.
“What about uncovering the secrets of your people?”
“Hmm, still no.” Qin Ran was still wavering.
“And a chance to enter the Zero Realm's supply vault?”
“Well, I suppose I could.” Qin Ran gave in.
Work! Wage slaves love working. What, you don't? Then the client clearly isn't paying enough. Make them pay more.
With piles of bones stacked into a mountain, Qin Ran stood atop it, knife in hand, and stared straight into those red eyes. Her gaze was wild and carefree. “Long time no see, Lord of the Void.”
