Who Says I'm Just a Tool?

The novel is complete. My next story, Back to the Year Before the Apocalypse, starts June 7. The blurb is below. Please add it to your collection! Blurb: Nian Lan transmigrated. This world was extraordinary: sword immortals and magicians drank together, while nine-tailed foxes and griffins were a pair of love-hate rivals... The person she'd transmigrated into had a noble status, overwhelming power, and the title of the most beautiful woman in the celestial realm. By all appearances, she had the perfect setup for a winner's life. But after only a few days of enjoying the good life, Nian Lan learned, to her dismay, that she was a high-level NPC in a full-dive game. According to the later plot, she'd fall into a bitter romance with the Demon Lord, locked in a love-hate struggle, and they'd die together, leaving two peerless weapons and tons of other goodies for the players. Nian Lan: "Ha. So I'm just a tool?" #Who's to say who the players are?# #Mom, help! I've fallen in love with an NPC!# * Zero, the most powerful and versatile artificial intelligence in interstellar history, discovered a bug within himself and wanted to eliminate it. But how did he go from trying to remove the bug to becoming its strongest protector? In short: an NPC steps on her romantic rivals, knocks down one villain after another, and wins over the game's Mastermind. Reading Guide: 1. The Demon Lord is not the male lead. No, he isn't! 2.

Add it to your collection! Blurb: Lin Luo, a peak-level mental ability user, opened her eyes again and found herself back one year before the apocalypse began. She knew that in five minutes, her awful relatives would come knocking, demanding that she hand over her parents' inheritance. She also knew that the apocalypse would come in a year, turning the world into hell. And she knew that ten years later, the apocalypse would end thanks to one man's overwhelming power, and the world would become his territory. But what did any of that have to do with her? Lin Luo promptly sold her house, dropped out of school, and returned to her maternal grandmother's hometown, a remote village with fewer than a hundred residents and only one road in or out. Build a house, clear the land, grow vegetables, raise dogs... A year later, the apocalypse arrived. Lin Luo looked at the food filling her warehouse and pondered a serious question. "Should I have crispy pork belly or braised beef tomorrow? Or both?" Three years later, her two-story villa had become a sturdy, elegant castle. The backward village, where nearly everyone left behind was elderly, became a paradise longed for by every survivor of the apocalypse. Looking at the warehouse, which had grown fuller rather than emptier, Lin Luo turned to the nearly two-meter-tall person beside her in anguish. "What's going on? You eat so little! Aren't you ashamed, with that height?!" The innocent man: "..." Eight meals a day really is my limit! Theme: Even in adversity, there is hope. Never give up.
