Building a Magical Realm in a Western Fantasy World

Western fantasy, world-building, delicious food, and magic creation.

Lin Huan read a novel about a protagonist who blazed a trail through a barren age of low magic, forging ahead with courage and passion. After one lucky encounter after another and a string of overpowered advantages, he led his team in ushering in the age of magic.

But Lin Huan was bound to a Legendary System and transmigrated into the first cannon-fodder character destined to be killed by the protagonist.

When he arrived, the original owner was conspiring with outsiders to assassinate the protagonist.

Looking at his people, who lived on raw food and knew nothing about using their magical talents, Lin Huan quietly activated his golden fingers for world-building and magic creation.

Lin Huan swept his hand through the air. "Let's eat some good food!"

"Let's build roads!"

"Let's train our magic and combat skills!"

The people who used to hate Lin Huan were won over: "Is the road not good enough, or is the food not tasty, or are the skills not useful? Why oppose him? Why hate him? Lin Huan is our lord and master now!"

Lin Huan led the entire Western fantasy continent into an age of civilization where technology and magic coexisted. Just as he reached the rank of Archmage and prepared a grand feast for the world, the novel's protagonist pinned him against the wall and gripped his chin.

Yun Shi smiled warmly as he held Lin Huan in his arms. "Huanhuan, to celebrate your becoming an Archmage, I've decided to take very good care of you tonight."

Lin Huan blushed and pushed him away. "Get lost! Who agreed to become your partner?"

Frontier development, a system, leveling up, winning people over, romance, and building an era where technology and magic coexist!

The supposedly ruthless and scheming bottom is actually timid and desperate to stay alive. The seemingly gentle and considerate top is actually cold-blooded and cruel.

To prevent monsters and demons from causing trouble and to build a peaceful, friendly society, the Alliance established a monster academy. Xia Zhi transmigrated into the body of a half-monster at the Monster University of Yun Country.

The half-monster had no parents, and his origins were unknown. Because of his half-monster identity, he couldn't transform into a monster. At school, he was constantly judged and became a gloomy, invisible loner with no friends. In the end, he died by suicide after falling into depression.

After Xia Zhi transmigrated, his first task was to dye his hair back to its original color. His second was to move out of the dorm.

His counselor agreed to his request and asked, "Who do you want to room with?"

Xia Zhi was about to say he didn't mind when he turned and saw the campus heartthrob walking by. He declared loudly, "I want to live with him!"

The one he'd pointed out, Jiang Yi: "…"

After the student left, the counselor quietly warned him, "He's a merman, vicious and bloodthirsty. No one dares go near him. Why don't you choose someone else?"

Xia Zhi realized he had a serious weakness for beautiful, dazzling things. Without hesitation, he said, "I'll take him!"

Shui Wuhen came from the mysterious depths of the sea. He was the prince of the merman race, lost and only recently found. He had come to the human world to study and gain experience before returning home to inherit the throne.

Everyone feared him and kept their distance because of his brutal, bloody fighting style. He didn't care.

Until one day, on his way back to the dorm, he saw a half-monster boy pointing at him and demanding to room with him.

Shui Wuhen sneered. Here was another fake human after his looks, wealth, and power. The boy would surely run away in terror within a day.

But...

On the first day they lived together, his roommate stared at him, then stayed out all night.

On the second day they lived together, his roommate stared at him, then stayed out all night.

On the third day, the thirtieth day...

Shui Wuhen could take no more. He deliberately blocked the boy's way and, right in front of him, beat someone into a severely disabled state.

That should scare him off, right?

Xia Zhi swiftly delivered a finishing blow to the injured man, then grinned with a blood-smeared cheek and slung an arm around Shui Wuhen's shoulder like an old pal. "Thanks, bro, but you're way too gentle. When dealing with enemies, you've got to be ruthless and precise!"

Shui Wuhen: "..."

*

The people at the Monster Academy saw the useless half-monster teaming up with Shui Wuhen for the league tournament. They thought Jiang Yi had stopped being brutal and tried to force their way into the team, only to be mercilessly beaten half to death by Jiang Yi, regardless of gender.

When that didn't work, they challenged and ambushed Xia Zhi. They were sure his monster magic had bewitched the big shot, and that he was only clinging to a powerful ally so he could bully them.

A worthless half-monster like you thinks you're worthy?

On the arena and during their training, Xia Zhi spun his knife and stepped on their heads. "So what if I'm a half-monster? You think you're worthy of fighting me? Call me Dad and I'll let you off!"

*

Xia Zhi became famous and finally rose to power. He was invited to his roommate's coronation. His roommate looked so breathtakingly handsome that Xia Zhi bragged to everyone he met: "See him? That's my roommate. We've been through life and death together. He's so good-looking."

The hall fell silent. He heard his roommate's cool, calm voice in front of him.

Jiang Yi knelt on one knee and smiled at him. "Since you think I'm good-looking and we've been through life and death together, would I be so lucky as to become your husband?"

#I thought you were my buddy, but you thought of me as your wife? #

#That's ridiculous! #

He Qing is a half-monster phoenix, reborn through fire and returning as a king.

The top is a merman.

Coming soon: My Teammate Is the Ferocious Merman Big Shot Whose Proposal I Rejected

He Qing was an unconscious spiritual entity that possessed the body of a little prince who had fallen into depression and killed himself after being offered to the ferocious Merman King.

At the time, the little prince had only recently been brought back to the imperial palace after going missing as a child. His reckless suicide had made him the target of a public backlash online, while his other siblings wept in sorrow.

He Qing slapped the coffin lid open and was met by a row of horrified eyes.

"Sorry to disappoint you all. I'm still alive."

*

He Qing brought shame upon the empire and was exiled. Citizens across the internet treated him like a joke, mocking him as an illegitimate child and a fake snob. They said the Merman King would never want someone like him.

He Qing laughed it off and told a new friend, "They say mermen are ruthless, bloodthirsty, brutal, and petty. Being judged by that reputation, I don't know who I should feel sorry for."

His new friend, who was brutal and petty: "..."

He Qing got up to say goodbye. "Thanks for showing a lost traveler the way, friend. This meal is on me. See you around."

"No need." His new friend suddenly smiled faintly, a glint of bloodlust passing through his eyes. "You're homeless, and so am I. We can team up, fight monsters, and make a living together."

*

Many years later, He Qing felt he'd gained both wealth and power. He parted ways amicably with his teammate, seized the empire, and became an emperor with nothing to do but relax. He watched the sensational gossip on the interstellar net about the Merman King searching the stars for someone, and enjoyed a carefree life.

One day, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Merman King's peerless beauty, he traveled to the merman star system. At a grand banquet, someone grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.

The Merman King gritted his teeth. "You finally came to find me? We're getting married, right now, this instant!"

He Qing turned around and saw his former teammate. "Huh?"

#Wait, the Merman King is my teammate? #

#My teammate is the one whose proposal I rejected? #

#I only came to see a peerless beauty. How did I end up getting married? #
