[I'm recovering from an illness and won't be able to update for a while. I'm applying to take this story offline. Sorry for taking so long. If I get the chance, I'll finish it later.]

After the college entrance exams, Cen An's parents suddenly came home from their honeymoon in Antarctica.

"You've grown up, kid. It's time we told you a secret."

"Actually, you're billionaires, and I've got billions in inheritance waiting for me?"

"No. Actually, we're immortals who ran away from home. It's time to send you back to cultivate immortality."

-

A strange student from outside the spirit realm enrolls at a cultivation academy.

When the cafeteria gets robbed, he waves a hand and has the kitchen fitted with 360-degree, no-blind-spot surveillance cameras.

When learning alchemy, he pulls out an iron wok, tosses in the ingredients, and puts on a nimble display of wok-flipping.

When it's time to grow spirit herbs, he drives a tractor and plows and sows in one smooth motion right in front of the herbology teacher.

When a sister school visits, he enthusiastically promotes inter-school exchanges and proposes adding magic electives to the course list.

His only trouble at the academy, as a student from such an unusual background, is that his classmates are far too enthusiastic. So he has to put up a warning sign on his desk:

"No crowding. Please don't feed the wildlife. Protecting rare species is everyone's responsibility."

-

On a video-sharing site, a lifestyle creator often shares snippets of life at his cultivation academy.

Netizens all think this creator, who's still going through his chuunibyou phase, has an interesting soul.

So they all pretend that such a cultivation academy exists, joining in and playing along to create the right atmosphere.

Until one day, an unidentified flying object suddenly flashes past behind the creator during a livestream.

The creator turns around and yells, "Which idiot broke the airspace regulations and is flying a sword over the spirit fields?"

"This is a no-fly zone!"

Netizens: ??

Happy ending, my take on cultivation is pure nonsense, no fighting or leveling up.

Basically a campus story, lots of everyday life, and plenty of goofy school fun.

Preorder 1: Keeping My Secret Identity Under Wraps Every Day

Xie Xilang, a big shot at the Infinite Management Bureau, retires in glory and is sent to an ordinary infinite world to enjoy his retirement.

A vengeful spirit on the subway hands him a free transit ticket. A shadow lurking in the library replenishes his intellectual nourishment. A contorted monster clinging to the ceiling renovates his room.

He builds a cozy home in a haunted apartment block.

Then he meets a player who has mistakenly entered the infinite world, and shamefully falls for him.

What should he do? The guy can't even hurt a fly. Should I play along?

As a bloodstained skeleton walks toward them in the laboratory, Xie Xilang, disguised as a player, cries, "Ah! How terrifying!"

The bloodstained skeleton: ...

Thanks. My last head is still being used as a vase at your place.

Yan Shuqi, a pro at speedrunning infinite-world scenarios, retires and takes a new job as a hidden NPC among the players.

Until he meets a player who's too frail to look after himself.

What should he do? Suddenly, he doesn't feel like following the plot anymore.

-

Later, the two meet on the road to a certain big boss.

One carries a bundle of arms, the other carries a head.

Xie Xilang tries to hide the bundle of arms behind his back and gives an awkward laugh. "What a coincidence. You're here too."

Yan Shuqi: "...Your arm fell off."

Preorder 2: Becoming a Master Editor in the Detective Conan World

Yanazawa Konata, an outstanding employee of the Dimensional Management Bureau, is sent to the Detective Conan world. His mission is to capture its most exciting moments and turn them into videos for higher-dimensional humans to watch, earning likes, comments, and shares.

He works diligently, rushing around every day to shoot footage:

A rooftop where a certain group of whisky lovers are trying to kill each other.

Rei raises his gun and aims it at the cat-eyed young man in front of him.

Yanazawa Konata: "Wait! Let me set up the camera first. Come on, Rei, look a little fiercer. Scotland, look a little more resolute. Want me to give you some classic, brooding lines to say while you pose?"

Cabin 72 on a Ferris wheel about to explode.

The door suddenly flies open high in the air.

Yanazawa Konata: "Quick, quick, hurry! Officer Matsuda, pay attention to which way the smoke is drifting. Strike a pose and let me find a good angle."

Inside the Poirot Cafe.

A certain blond young man puts on a professional smile.

Yanazawa Konata: "Come on, come on! I've gathered all the high school girls nearby. Everyone, crowd around Mr. Amuro so we can take a big group photo."

From dark and sinister edits to hype edits, beat-synced edits, and misunderstanding edits, Yanazawa Konata can handle every style. With his prolific output and wide-ranging skills, he soon becomes a well-known creator in the real world.

One day, the head of the Dimensional Management Bureau suddenly contacts him. "Konata, we've had a tiny little glitch at the bureau."

Yanazawa Konata: "Is it serious?"

The boss: "Not at all. It'll be easy to fix."

Yanazawa Konata: "Phew, that's a relief."

The boss: "We just accidentally synchronized the videos to this dimension too, so..."

[Building, cardboard, window.jpg]

Run!

Yanazawa Konata hears someone knocking at his front door: ...

Boss, you're too late!

Help!

A certain real-deal booze-loving man requests a song: [Gin/lyrics, I'm done being a hitman!]. The long-haired boss loads his gun and heads out to silence someone.

A certain troublemaker plays [Ensemble/beat sync/so cool, the whole Black Organization teaches you beat sync, nonstop action] and promotes every member of the Black Organization to stardom.

A certain police officer sees the faces of his old classmates in [AMV/edit/highlights, To the Heroes in the Darkness] and can't help clenching his fists.

They've awakened. It's hunting season.
