The Sky Screen Says I Was Born by the Emperor Himself!

[Complete!]

[Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, Strange Cultivation, Starting Inside a Monster's Belly.

[An imaginary setting with plenty of original worldbuilding. No need to take it too seriously.]

Qin Liu had transmigrated to another world sixteen years ago. He was an unpopular prince, even hated by Emperor Shengwu.

He had never understood why the emperor of the Sheng Dynasty hated him so much. It seemed that if Qin Liu hadn't kept his head down and stayed out of trouble for all sixteen years, the emperor might have had him executed long ago.

After all, the emperor's disgust for him was plain for everyone to see. Qin Liu never assumed the best of anyone and always prepared for the worst.

In recent years, after coming to this realization, Qin Liu had kept a close eye on things.

He watched Emperor Shengwu praise his other sons and put him down.

Qin Liu knew very well that if he had been a native of this world, he would have cared deeply. A child without a mother, with only a father, would naturally yearn for family affection.

Fortunately, he wasn't a native. He didn't care whether Emperor Shengwu showed him concern or fatherly love.

As for the insults, those were easy to deal with: let them go in one ear and out the other.

Perhaps he had once longed for that affection, but the longing had vanished when, as a young child in the Cold Palace, he chose to drink cold water rather than starve.

Just before the long-awaited day when Qin Liu would be sent away from the capital, when he thought he would spend his entire life never understanding why, the sky screen appeared.

[Hello, everyone! To finish my assignment, your streamer is going to tell you the life story of our illustrious Emperor Shengwen, the greatest emperor of all time!]

[Does anyone still remember the unofficial history that went around a few years ago?]

[Well, it doesn't matter if you don't. I remember it, and that's enough.]

[Since most people have forgotten it, I'll start by telling you that unofficial history. Here's the important part: in a few days, it won't be unofficial history anymore.]

[How do I know? Of course I have my own sources.]

[All right, enough digressing. Back to the topic. When I first heard that unofficial history, I laughed until I cried. It claimed that Emperor Shengwen had been born to Emperor Shengwu himself. Who would believe that? I certainly don't.]

Qin Liu: "..."

So my mother is Father Emperor?

What a ridiculous joke...

[Strange Cultivation, Starting Inside a Monster's Belly]

Ever since he became a "player," Jiang Zhan had felt he was going crazy.

The world had turned into a hell of flesh and blood. He wanted to escape, only to find his feet sunk deep into it, impossible to pull free no matter what he did.

The flesh churned like waves, one after another, until it swallowed him whole.

His consciousness sank as the flesh surged over him. When he woke again, he was in a new world.

Jiang Zhan could feel himself growing. Starting as a tiny embryo, he slowly developed a head, a body, hands, feet...

When his ears had formed, he discovered that he could hear sounds from outside. After openly eavesdropping for a while, he finally figured out his situation.

Jiang Zhan had never been so speechless. This goddamn game had assigned him a male monster as his mother!

"..."

Honestly, was there any chance he could be born alive?

Jiang Zhan was born after all. He looked at the monster who had given birth to him. There was something inhuman about it, but it was unbelievably beautiful.

White hair fell over its shoulders. Its features were exquisite and bewitching, yet its black eyes were exceptionally cold. They reminded him of an abyss, endless and untouchable, where anyone who ventured close would die...

He couldn't help fearing the monster who had given birth to him. But when he realized how indulgent it was toward him, Jiang Zhan began testing its limits. Little by little, he came to understand that it had no limits when it came to him...

He figured he had probably gotten himself one hell of a golden finger.

Jiang Zhan showed how curious he was about the other world. His monster mom didn't hide anything from him in that regard, giving him plenty of information about it.

Jiang Zhan put all that information to good use and made a considerable fortune, achieving financial freedom. Not having to slave away at work felt amazing.

But his good days didn't last long. He discovered that people in the real world had begun dying in large numbers for no apparent reason. An authoritative player on the forum said that monsters from another world were reviving in the real world. Jiang Zhan was stunned. Unlike other players, he didn't have a whole lot of skills. The only thing on his status screen was a skill called Switch Identity.

He knew better than anyone how weak he was as a monster's child. Did anyone else?

Even so, Jiang Zhan decided to try his luck. When a monster invaded his apartment, he immediately switched identities and turned into a monster's child.

But that damn monster saw how weak he was and tried to devour him!

Jiang Zhan wasn't scared at all. He just looked at it and smiled, because after becoming a monster's child, he saw that the skill that had always been blacked out had lit up.

[Mom, help me!]

[Note: Call out loudly, "Mom, help me!" Your mother will come and tear apart anyone or anything that bullies you!]

He couldn't beat this monster, but his mom could!

Never underestimate a monster's child who's out on their own. They definitely have a powerful mom protecting them from the shadows!

The only problem was that his monster mom, now in the real world thanks to his skill, was a little too curious and liked putting everything in her mouth.

Every time Jiang Zhan saw his monster mom about to put someone in her mouth again, he'd hug her leg and shout, "Mom! You can't eat that! Don't eat it! Spit it out!"
