Becoming a Saint in the Middle Ages [Worldbuilding]

A corrupt, scheming emperor x a master con artist of a saint Ning Chan, a high-level wood-and-fire ability user, died alongside tens of thousands of zombies while protecting the last city in the apocalypse. When he woke again, he had become an apprentice saint in a medieval Western church. He had only wanted to get by, but when he saw his sweet, naive companion about to be taken away by the bishop for "purification," Ning Chan stepped forward and offered to take their place. Facing the bishop's bared fangs, Ning Chan raised a hand and pressed it against the man's forehead. Flames flared. "You're tainted. May God grant you cleansing fire." Later, in pursuit of his ideal kingdom, Ning Chan spread positive energy and officially became the Great Saint (Conman). Anyone trying to defile a saint deserves to be burned. Anyone taking another person's life deserves to be burned. Excessive intimacy between people of the same sex deserves... well, that doesn't need to be burned. God is accepting, and no kind of love should be discriminated against. But when did his companion go from being a little angel to a great demon king? He promised to be Ning Chan's knight forever, but do knights really need to stand this close to the person they're protecting? Ning Chan, his head muddled by childhood nostalgia and honeyed words, felt that something was off. Notes: 1. Both leads are virgins in their past and present lives. 2. The setting is an ordinary Western world, and the nature of the gods is deliberately vague, so the protagonist can make things up as he pleases. The mythology he describes includes Eastern elements because he may never be able to return to his homeland in this life, yet wants to tell the truth about his past, mixed with fiction. At least this way, future generations will know that the world he lived in once existed. (The author's writing skills are limited. If my dear readers can't accept this, perhaps we'll meet another time.)

When he woke up, all he could do was stare at the bed frame and question his life. Was he an idiot? How had he not realized until he was fifteen that he wasn't a girl, but a boy? All those years, he had done nothing but bicker with his sisters, compete over who was prettier, and discuss rouge, powder, and little dresses. What good was any of that? Could it save the country, or himself? When he thought about how those bandits would break through the palace gates in five years and rip off his little dress... Ning Qiuran wanted to train with General Ma and his war hammer. At least he could use his brute strength to take a couple of them down with him before being forced to take his own life. But before his war-hammer plan could get underway, a "kitty" came to call. [System bound.

Coming soon: My Castle Connects Two Worlds Kasifan Luoqi, owner of the castle in the Lost Forest, is a duke of the vampire family with the purest bloodline, descended from their ancient ancestors. After sleeping for 1,368 years, he awoke from his dreams because the ground had shaken violently. Kasifan rubbed his stomach and pushed open his coffin... I must have opened the coffin the wrong way. Where's my castle? My forest? My subjects? After touring most of the abandoned city, Kasifan realized something: he hadn't slept too long and woken up in a changed world. Someone had left a portal to another world on his coffin lid. The elegant duke didn't like seeing his subjects turn into dried-up, ugly husks, so he began a life of traveling back and forth between two worlds to save people. Perhaps he'd traveled too frequently. One day, his castle appeared in the apocalypse as well. The passage between the two worlds had opened in some strange way! Human: Why can this water ball talk? Slime: Your whole family are water balls! Minotaur: I want to see which of us is stronger! Human: Leave the excavator alone! Kasifan: My subjects are getting along so well. Those things called spicy blood curd and blood sausage are delicious, too. System: Good thing I'm clever and bound myself to a narcissist. As long as I know how to shower him with praise, my life as a System will be rich. Theme: Make sure everyone has enough to eat and warm clothes, and is fulfilled in both body and mind
