Starting from Zero as a King

One-sentence summary: Earth’s all-out invasion of another world begins with me. Silly version: He Xingwen never imagined that becoming a king required starting a game, and starting a game required becoming a video creator. The viewers lucky enough to watch the first video, shoddy beyond belief, never imagined they’d have to write a three-thousand-word essay about the video they’d once laughed at, just to prove it wasn’t a full-immersion game, but another world. Official version: “Tell me your wish, and I’ll make it come true.” “Coach! I want to play a full-immersion game!” With those words, spoken by a young and foolish He Xingwen, the curtain rose on a grand and turbulent life. His kingdom stands in another world, ruling half a continent. Beastfolk, dwarves, elves, dragons, the undead, mages, and even great scientists all bow to him. He makes the rules, builds a kingdom, and rules over all. He is a king who will never fall. He ushered in a new world of spiritual qi revival, established a passage between another world and Earth, and brought the era-defining “full-immersion game” into being. But it all began in a desolate wasteland, with a rickety little cabin on the verge of collapse. [Your glory is above all else, Your Majesty.], by the System. Couple: He Xingwen x the System A growing king x his loyal knight Reader’s guide: 1. This isn’t a conventional kingdom-building story. The “Fourth Calamity” content comes in the middle of the novel, and the early chapters take their time. 2. Power fantasy with an enormous golden finger. Invincible-protagonist warning. 3. Entirely fictional setting. 4. Just for fun, so don’t take it too seriously. Coming soon: After Beating the Game One-sentence summary: He transmigrates into a game after beating it, only to discover that he hasn’t beaten the other games. Lu Yixiu transmigrates. Destination: the single-player game whose ending he just reached. The game is a raising sim whose gameplay is lifted wholesale from The Crown Prince’s Growth Diary, with stat grinding as its main feature. Time of transmigration: after beating the game. Role: son of a treacherous minister. The current situation is a little awkward. With the sitting chief councilor (his father) and the leader of the New Party (his younger brother) watching, Lu Yixiu takes the young boy by the hand and leads him to the imperial throne. The boy sits down and says, “Father, I want my adoptive father too.” * Under the rule of orthodox imperial authority, the Great Feng dynasty has endured for three thousand years, its throne never changing hands. Even when treacherous ministers sought to throw the dynasty into chaos or enfeoffed princes tried to seize the legitimate throne, the Great Feng dynasty never wavered. Because the Mandate of Heaven belongs to the emperor. Society enters the industrial age. Faith, imperial power, and technology collide. The old orthodox faith begins to fade, while secret beliefs spring up and flourish under persecution and oppression. Thus, cults are born. Knowledge grants power to the faithful, and power summons the gods. A story set in an era when steam trains race along the tracks and imperial authority has yet to fall. A blend of Eastern and Western elements, in a fictional era. The specific setting was decided on a whim by the author. Reader’s guide: 1. Lu Yixiu didn’t play just one game. He only beat one. 2. This blurb may change at any time before the story begins, but the central theme will stay the same. 3. Plot-focused, perhaps with a secret mastermind and secret identities. ★ Check out my completed novel: Those Years I Was a Big Shot, a really great power fantasy. Theme: Building a moderately prosperous society together, and bringing the light of civilization to people living in darkness in another world.
