I Cleared the Dungeons, and We Were Once Emperor Lords

At five years old, Qi Ling met Jiang Zhixu at an orphanage. They both thought the place was a monster that devoured people, so they didn't take long to decide to run away.

Qi Ling later developed a habit: whenever she went out, she'd always bring someone home.

At six, she picked up five-year-old Xing Chen. At thirteen, she picked up Lin Beifo, who was a year older than her but really was an orphan, so she took him in. At seventeen, while on a mission and so broke they could barely scrape together a coin, she picked up thirteen-year-old Jiang Yuan.

With Jiang Zhixu, that made five of them.

They'd been working as assassins for some years. Their rules were simple: kill the truly evil, leave the mildly wicked alone. They'd managed to save up a little, but then something happened and all their money went down the drain. Overnight, they were back to square one.

Right at that moment, they got tangled up with a place called the Dungeon Arcade, where points could be exchanged for money.

As soon as Qi Ling heard that, she took everyone inside.

The games were death matches. If you died, you were really dead. There were no do-overs.

But after clearing a few dungeons, they felt... it was nothing special?

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.

How Long Does It Take for a New Writer to Make It? I’ve Been Writing for 54 Days

54 days. I finished my first book on day 45: 320,000 words, writing for 8–12 hours a day. I’m now planning my second book, but nobody’s reading the first one anymore. Is it really that bad? Am I just someone with no talent? (sobbing)
