[Mythology] My Cheat Is a Gacha Simulator

* A quick plug for my new novel, Fusu, Reborn as a Hostage of Ying Zheng. Please add it to your favorites.

Here is the blurb for the Greek Mythology story:

Shen Qingyun opened and closed her eyes, and when she awoke again, she had transmigrated.

She had transmigrated into the Greek Mythology, a world full of absurdities and with a completely shattered moral compass. Cronus ruled at the time, and though Mount Olympus seemed peaceful on the surface, undercurrents surged beneath.

As a beautiful but weak nymph in this utterly shameless place, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself.

Shen Qingyun: I'm doomed!

[Transmigrator cheat activated. Congratulations, player, you've triggered the Secret Identity Simulator. You can draw secret identities by earning the audience's favor and tips!]

Audience?

Shen Qingyun was curious. Where did an audience come from?

The System explained that this world was connected to a higher-dimensional civilization. These advanced life forms were players watching the story unfold in this world.

Her task was to use the secret identities she drew to seize the story's spotlight and become a popular character.

Shen Qingyun's eyes lit up. She knew exactly how to do this!

Beautiful, strong, and tragic was the perfect recipe!

She waved her hand and drew her first character:

[Secret Identity 001: Tomie]

[Secret Identity Skills: Irresistible Charm, Consumption]

*

Greek Mythology was a popular story on the A07 website. The gods' tangled relationships, their debauched and luxurious lives, the plot's many twists and turns, and the breathtaking beauty of every character all drew clicks from the audience.

Day and night, the audience fought on the website's forum over which god was number one.

Until she appeared.

The forum created tens of thousands of threads about her overnight.

[Congratulations, player! Story spotlight +1!]

[You have used the Consumption skill.]

[Consumption result: Copied the power of Zeus, King of the Gods.]

[Your previous consumption rewards are as follows:]

[Power over Time, Emotional Manipulation, Absolute Strength...]

Shen Qingyun smiled with satisfaction.

All right, now even if everyone on Mount Olympus came to fight her, she could remain undefeated.

Invincibility. How lonely.

A quick plug for my new novel, Fusu, Reborn as a Hostage of Ying Zheng.

When a father orders his son to die, how could he dare beg again?

Fusu killed himself, following Ying Zheng into death.

Just as he thought his soul was about to disappear, he heard a voice.

[Documentary Filming System activated.]

[Dynasty bound: Qin]

[Person bound: Prince Fusu]

[Initial filming date: Year 52 of King Zhaoxiang (255 BCE)]

[Please select your filming location:, ]

Fusu froze.

After the System explained, he understood that it was something from the future, bound to him to record famous figures and events from a particular dynasty.

As a reward, he could get a chance to be reborn.

In Year 52 of King Zhaoxiang, his father, Ying Zheng, was in Zhao. Ying Zheng was only five years old, and he and Zhao Ji were constantly on the run.

Fusu's hand trembled as he chose a location.

[You have selected: Handan]

[Transmitting...]

*

Ying Yiren escaped back to Qin, leaving Ying Zheng a natural target for Zhao's rage and revenge. He and his mother, Zhao Ji, were constantly fleeing to avoid being captured.

Their clothes barely covered them, and they had little to eat.

His mother, Zhao Ji, fell ill from sheer exhaustion. Ying Zheng went out alone to gather firewood so they could survive the deadly winter.

But on this trip up the mountain, he met a young man who looked very familiar, with features remarkably like his own.

The man froze when he saw him, too.

Their eyes met.

Fusu (in tears): "Father!"

Ying Zheng: ?

*

Delivering face-slapping justice to the Zhao princes who bullied him, traveling through the kingdoms, befriending scholars across the land, and debating at the Jixia Academy.

With a young Ying Zheng at his side, Fusu made a name for himself in the Warring States period.

Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji (smiling warmly): "Would you like to serve in Wei as a marquis and chancellor?"

Li Si (thoughtful): "This child has the bearing of a king."

The Six Kingdoms all carried their seals of office and waited at Fusu's door.

Fusu opened the door: Huh???

*

Ying Zheng was wary of this young man who had suddenly appeared. Strangely, though, the man's attitude toward him was far too affectionate.

At times, even Ying Zheng found himself unconsciously growing close to him.

Ying Zheng (coldly): I must be exhausted.

How could he just trust some stranger whose origins were unknown?

Until one day, he heard Fusu say:

"The realm must be unified."

*

[Because this is a documentary-filming System, the story will involve traveling among the kingdoms and meeting various historical figures. It's about making up for past regrets, raising a child, and a satisfying power fantasy. Yes, Fusu raises his father as a child!]

[The redemption of two little sad souls: Fusu saves Ying Zheng during his childhood. At first, Fusu doesn't know that Zhao Gao altered the order that sentenced him to death. He'll feel very insecure but also rely on Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng will see through it and help him overcome that worry!]
