Become a Lord, Then Summon the Fourth Calamity

When he wakes up, Lucia has transmigrated to a strange continent. He has gone from being an unremarkable game streamer to the legitimate heir of a dragon-blooded family living in exile, and he has also become bound to a System called "Calamity Lord."

[Ding! New quest available.]

[Please prepare lodgings for the people who will soon arrive in your territory, Lord.]

[Quest reward: 10 beta test slots]

Lucia sees the System's prompt and immediately calls it a scam.

Wasn't he supposed to be a lord? Why does he have to build houses himself?

And what the heck are these beta test slots?

Lucia curses under his breath, and at one point even considers packing up and running away.

But when he finishes building a makeshift shelter and prepares to welcome his first subjects, something unexpected happens...

A group of little sheep-people with horns on their heads and tails behind them crawl out of the ground. They crowd around him, all excitedly shouting:

"Holy crap! The lighting, the textures, the character models! Is this really a game?"

"Ahhh, this NPC is way too handsome!!"

-

At some point, a legion calling itself the Calamity appeared on the continent of Rodel. They are unstoppable and never fear death. Everywhere they go, rivers of blood flow, and their savagery strikes terror into the hearts of countless factions.

Yet the survivors who have encountered them all tend to remember the same thing.

The lord who commands this legion is a handsome young man with black hair and red eyes.

"Let us welcome the most noble descendant of the Dragonblood, the chosen one of the Dragon God Caius, the son of a lich, the heir to the Glory of Talia, the guardian of the Forest of Qiguang, the sword-bearer of the Knights of Calamity, the blood-red rose blooming in the Land of Shadows, the great Calamity Lord, the King of Rodel whose glory is supreme, Lord Lucia Caroline, to deliver his pre-battle address."

Lucia looks over the stage at the soldiers in their bizarre outfits and feels his vision go dark. "Caius, can you post an announcement telling these people to at least dress like normal people during the cutscenes?"

A silver-gray apparition clings to his side and snorts disdainfully. "I can't control what a bunch of evil spirits think. You'd better hurry up. They're all shouting 'skip' already."

Lucia takes a deep breath and raises his cape. "Everyone, let the iron feet of the Calamity crush our ant-like enemies to pieces!"

"Awoooo!"

The players below erupt into a frenzy.

"For the glory of the Caroline family!!"

"For our lord!!"

"Buff the mages, you garbage devs!!!"

-

As the youngest son of the Dragon God, Caius was once the most exalted being on the continent of Rodel.

But the dynasty fell, and he was sealed inside an eggshell, asleep for a thousand years. When he awoke, the world had changed beyond recognition. His familiar friends and family were gone, and the power that ruled the world had been shattered.

To make matters worse, he somehow entered an unbreakable contract with a strange lich, binding their fates together until death.

That lich was cunning, greedy, and warlike, and he was always touching Caius's tail. He was the most evil creature in the world.

And yet, as they spent more time together, Caius gradually fell for him.

The other man patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness. As your ally, I'll help you restore the Dragon God's faith!"

Caius fell silent for a few seconds, then looked into the other's red eyes. "What are you talking about, my queen?"

-

A straight-talking, secretly soft-hearted, absent-minded Dragon God on top x a young lord on the bottom who would die if he ever stopped putting on an act.

Contains a little bit of marriage-before-love. The long romance develops slowly, but the couple are devoted to each other from beginning to end. Not suitable for readers with strong preferences about character roles. No switching or reversing roles.

A light ensemble story, with lots of descriptions of the players and the real world.

A logic-free wish-fulfillment story. All settings are fictional.

The Simulator Game Repairman

Just before graduating from college, Shang Li unexpectedly receives a job offer as a game repairman.

The salary is generous, and it comes with full insurance and a housing fund. It sounds pretty good.

But after starting work, he discovers that the company's workplace isn't quite what he expected.

"Shang, the gate to the Blood Church was blown up by a player. Go fix it."

"Shang, the ghouls in the Evil Swamp Forest have indigestion. Give them some digestive tablets."

"Shang, the warlock in Midnight Town has wandered off his route. Go bring him back."

"Shang..."

Shang, who has boarded a pirate ship: ...Is it too late to quit?

-

Shang Li is forced to get to work, spending every day in the perilous game world.

In the morning, he has to restock the witch's storeroom with herbs and replace every crate damaged by players.

At noon, he has to sew the priest's head back on, replace the magic crystals in the evil ritual array, and send lost players back where they belong.

At night, he also has to sing a lullaby to the little warlock, who had a nightmare, and coax him to sleep.

Shang, calm and completely in his element: Don't rush, don't rush. I'll fix yours after I finish this one, then yours after I finish this one...

Shang Li works diligently and soon becomes exceptionally skilled at his job, ranking near the top in the monthly performance review.

But his colleagues raise a question: Why do bugs always happen wherever you go? Is there something special about you?

Shang Li:!! Please don't say something so scary!

From that day on, Shang Li discovers that all kinds of bugs appear everywhere he goes. Sometimes the scenery gets mixed up; other times, players go missing. And there are tons of broken NPCs shouting, "Awakening and freedom!"

His workload skyrockets, giving Shang Li a terrible headache. He can only repair bugs day and night, like a spinning top being whipped.

One day, he finally loses his temper and grabs one of the broken NPCs, shouting, "Bro, this is the thirtieth time this month! Do you know that when you don't follow the plot, I have to work overtime to find you?"

The silver-haired little warlock he caught: (pulls out a little notebook) Hmm... got it. If I go off-script, I can summon a super handsome guy to chase me.
