[The King's Avatar] This Was Even Recorded in Fanfiction

Perhaps it was a deal with the devil that opened the door to this bizarre card game for her. In her career, every colleague was one of a kind. If they wanted to win, they would win. If they wanted love, love would be theirs. If she simply went along with the will of fate, life would surely be a pink, sparkly wonderland. Lin Ling: Thanks for the offer, but no. Was man vom schicksal empfangt, geheim ein Preis eingezeichnet ist. Everything we receive from fate comes with a price, marked in secret. Years of stubbornness crumbled in an instant. The System went out of control, reality and dreams kept crossing over, and the card player found herself face-to-face with her one and only bug outside the System. Someone: Could this really happen in a parallel world? Lin Ling: Haha, it's been documented in fanfiction, too. Before you read: 1. A lighthearted little story (Really?) 2. The main story has an all-for-one romantic element, mostly for the fun of it. 3. I asked a friend to handwrite the cover title and then cut it out, and spent ages fussing over the blurb on my keyboard. This story is very down-to-earth, so just take it as it comes. You don't have to go looking for some deeper meaning in your entertainment. And while I'm at it, here's a recommendation for a story that's been waiting forever in my drafts: Happy Next Life In her previous life, she did nothing, yet had plenty of enemies. In the end, the one who got her said his parting words through the killer: "Hope you're born into a good family in your next life." She didn't need to wait for her next life. She got a new lease on life by borrowing someone else's body...in a completely unfamiliar time and place. The sky was covered in clouds that never cleared. Day and night had no distinction. Neon lights blazed endlessly across skyscrapers, and a homeless man stretched the damaged fingers of his steel hand out of the muddy water. At first, she thought she was caught in yet another feud between wealthy families, all fighting like cats and dogs. Before she could politely decline, the heiress who was supposed to be her "rival" leaped from a skyscraper. The truth about people with superpowers suddenly came to light, and the turbulent world revealed just a corner of its true face. Her guide in this new world told her, "You have to do it for a greater cause." All right. For a while, she bought into the destiny-of-the-chosen-one story about saving the world. Local strongmen, evil organizations, she'd punch them all. I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm just here to punch you so you don't get the chance to wreak havoc on the world. Until one day, she discovered that she wasn't one of the heroes in the legend after all. "I'm sure you have your own plans," He Lanzhi said as she closed the eyes of her last enemy, beneath the brightest daylight the world had ever seen. "But I can't help it. In this life, I don't want to just sit back and wait to die." Before you read: 1. A cyberpunk-style setting with superpowers. The heroine is only number one in combat strength. True gold is forged in fire. 2. There is a romance plot, but it isn't a major focus. There are also a few one-sided crushes that go nowhere or turn dark and twisted. Other than what's necessary for the plot, there are no other pairings. [Dragon Raja] Is It Wrong to Start Slaying Dragons at Thirty? She never got a letter from an owl at eleven, nor an admission notice from Cassell at eighteen. Her unremarkable life should have carried on just like that. Then, at thirty, a new HR employee at her company called her in for a talk and said they wanted to give her an unimaginably life-changing gift. Wasn't it supposed to be an early retirement offer? Why was it a form for transferring into the dragon-slaying corps?! So dragons really exist? When did I transmigrate?! As she lay battered and broken in the muddy ground on a rainy night, a pair of exquisite little leather boots stopped in front of her. A boy bent down and held out his hand. "I know starting a new adventure at your age doesn't sound very appealing," he said. "But if you magnify the problem, some difficulties will solve themselves. What if you weren't thirty, but three thousand?" Flames from the eternal night burned in his pupils. "Welcome back...sister." Dragon Raja fanfiction, a short story of around 100,000 Chinese characters. I'll post it when it's done. Theme: People who free themselves from fate.
