Smuggling Aboard a Magic Ship

In a world of magic, just stepped off the spaceship and already three million in debt.

Li Wei thinks he may be the most miserable transmigrator in history. From the start, all he has is a secondhand wreck that can do anything except stay in one piece, a sharp-tongued golem that does nothing but complain, and a goblin financial magnate’s overseer keeping watch because of his loan-shark debt.

Worse still, if he can’t pay up, he’ll be sold to the tentacled grand duke of a neighboring star system as his 10,086th “collectible” (don’t ask, it’s perfectly respectable… probably).

To save his own ass (literally), Li Wei has no choice but to take a desperate gamble and venture into a death zone. Then he crashes straight back into… Earth?!

Looking at his old home, where magic is nowhere to be found but industrial output is through the roof, Li Wei feels tears of joy welling in his eyes.

And so the whole genre takes a sudden turn.

Mage: “This flawless alchemical potion, ‘White Stardust,’ is nothing short of a miracle!”

Li Wei: “That’s refined white sugar. Five yuan a jin, and I’ve got plenty.”

Knights’ Order: “What an exquisitely crafted enchanted weapon! Its fiery breath can tear a dragon to shreds!”

Li Wei: “It’s called an AK-47. It may not be enchanted, but it’s damn reliable. If all else fails, you can use it as a fire poker.”

Elven Queen: “What is this sacred fabric? Wearing it feels like strolling among the clouds.”

Li Wei: “It’s Balenciaga.”

This takes some inspiration from DND’s magical-ship adventure setting, but the rest is all my own creation. Think of it as another DND adventure.
