Coming soon: "I Raised a Little Vampire Ancestor." A sweet story about a vampire who shrinks down and gets raised like a doll by a pirate captain. [Synopsis] Lin Nianyu is haunted by nightmares. In his dreams, red mist blankets the sky and zombies roam everywhere. He wanders in search of his missing mother, eventually making his way to a small human settlement after a long, winding journey. He even has a few special abilities in his dreams, like conjuring water with his bare hands, though they're not much use. In the end, the entire settlement is wiped out in a zombie horde. Lin Nianyu: ... Lin Nianyu: There are powerful people everywhere in my dreams, but I'm just cannon fodder??? After dying in his dream and waking up in reality, Lin Nianyu awakens the portable space inside his jade pendant and realizes that everything was a memory. Reborn, he is about to face the apocalypse all over again. He stocks up on food, farms, fights monsters, levels up, and saves a few able-bodied young people to put to work. Lin Nianyu does everything he can to survive. Even with supernatural powers and a space containing a spirit spring, he remains anxious as he stands at the crossroads of fate, until he discovers that... His gentle, scholarly mother chops down zombies with swift, decisive strokes. The shut-in upstairs is a master mechanic, hidden in plain sight. Even the people they meet while fleeing have their own special skills. And even his sweet, clingy cat can scare zombies away with a casual meow. Lin Nianyu stares in utter astonishment, then cautiously tugs at the sleeve of the tall man beside him. "Um... Maybe I should just keep farming." Qin Suifeng smiles warmly. "Then I'll help you."

[Coming Soon 1] "Running a Restaurant on a Starship Livestream" Food lover Qiao Anyi is reborn in the body of an heir to a restaurant in the interstellar age. But people here are used to relying on quick and nutritious supplements as their main source of food, and the little restaurant is on the verge of closing. Starving, Qiao Anyi takes a sip of the nutritional liquid provided for him and is stunned. People can eat this??? He can't accept it, and would rather die all over again right then and there. Just then, an electronic voice rings in his ear: Ding! Your little restaurant management System is now online. Thirty points for a vegetable gift box, fifty points for a box of secret-recipe beef tallow hot pot base, eighty points for a free-range hen, one hundred points for a box of premium sea urchin... Get 188 Star Coins' worth of points in your first top-up and receive one whole abalone for free. The dream is wonderful. Qiao Anyi now has something to look forward to, but when he checks his account, he's still two points short of being able to exchange them for a vegetable gift box. Qiao Anyi: Help me up. I'm going to make money! - Before long, a tiny livestream appears. In the camera's view are two eggs and a bowl of cold rice. A viewer passing by casually sends a string of comments. "Eggs? This foul-smelling, low-grade food still hasn't disappeared from the market? And those ingredients look so unappetizing. The streamer won't spend a penny, so how could he possibly make good food with this stuff?" No one responds to his comments. The camera turns toward an iron wok. Flames roar up. The eggs are cracked into a bowl and beaten. A moment later, hot oil goes in, and the golden egg mixture sizzles in the wok before leftover rice from the night before is added. With the streamer's practiced tossing, the rice separates, every grain evenly coated in gold. An unfamiliar, overpowering aroma of oil wafts through the screen and into the nose of the viewer who had mocked him. He swallows frantically, ignores his stinging face, and immediately sends a blimp gift. - Under a barrage of gifts from the top donor, Anyi's livestream starts attracting attention. Only a pair of elegant hands ever appear on camera, yet they deftly debone and carve meat. At first, viewers are uncomfortable with the grisly process, and the comments are full of condemnation. But then the streamer produces one mouthwatering dish after another, like a magician conjuring wonders, each one made from ingredients whose names the viewers don't even know. Netizens who have enabled the scent-sharing system all say: "This smells amazing! There's no way I'm losing weight now!" "Mom, why am I watching this livestream with drool running down my face? QAQ" "Where's the streamer's restaurant? We have to go there and check it out!!!" The little restaurant, once on the verge of closing, becomes famous overnight. - As a food lover, Qiao Anyi enjoys livestreaming and sharing delicious food. One day, viewers see him grinding meat. "What are you making today, streamer? Are you developing a new dish?" Qiao Anyi only has time to glance at the comments once the ingredients are in the pan. "No, no. This is for my kitten." "I just picked it up." "It's shy, so I can't show it to you yet." Smelling the aroma coming through the sharing system, everyone wishes they could turn into the stray cat Qiao Anyi mentioned. At last, after countless viewers begged him, Qiao Anyi agrees to show them his kitten. He lifts up the kitten. A handsome, refined face appears on camera with it, and he says, "Meow~" "Huh???" "He could make a living off his looks, but he chose to rely on his skills..." Comments with the same sentiment flood the screen by the thousands. At that very moment, a certain federal colonel, several star systems away, jolts upright. Hey, hey, hey? Did I just see the companion beast of our long-comatose commander in some livestream??? - Later, the little restaurant grows bigger and stronger, leaves the M-665+ star system, and reaches the entire universe. Qiao Anyi humbly says in an interview: To tell the truth, at first I was just trying to satisfy my own appetite. [Coming Soon 2] "I Raised a Little Vampire Ancestor" Xavier is an anomaly among vampires. The blood his kind covets smells and tastes foul to him, so he chooses to sleep after losing his food source. Who would have thought he would sleep right through to the interstellar age? A particle cannon blasts him out of the ruins and triggers a protective spell a lich had placed on him. He shrinks from the size of a young man to something small enough to fit in a fist. And with magic in decline in the interstellar age, he can't feed and regain his strength, so he can't change back! A mighty prince, and not only did a pirate destroy his treasured coffin, he also got picked up like a doll from a trash heap! Xavier swears that once he recovers, he'll blow that bastard to smithereens! As a rare SSS-grade psychic, Howard's first half of life was legendary. At thirty, he became the youngest general in the empire's history, with a distinguished record of military service. After defecting from the empire, he led the Dark Owl Pirate Gang, which burst onto the scene like a sword of Damocles hanging over the Holy See and the empire. His bounty ranked highest and stayed there for decades. Rumor had it that Howard suffered from mental instability due to an old injury. His moods were unpredictable, he often flew into a rage, and whenever he got angry, he bombed abandoned planets to vent. Later, he began to cultivate his mind and body, openly keeping a toy doll. The doll was only fist-sized, with silver hair, golden eyes, and tiny fangs. It was so adorable that Howard couldn't bear to put it down. According to an unreliable source, this short-tempered pirate captain even made little clothes and hats for his doll. At first, Howard also thought the little doll he was raising was an interactive AI toy, the latest product from the Federation. He kept it by his side because it could soothe his rampaging psychic power. That is, until he accidentally wiped blood from a wound onto the doll's face. The gorgeous young man fell into his arms, and for the first time, Howard was willing to admit there was indeed something wrong with his head. Xavier's eyes light up: His blood is sweet! ...Wait! What kind of creature are you, anyway??? Bonus scene: Xavier: In view of your loyal service, this prince may appoint you as my first blood thrall and grant you... Hey, wait, what are you doing? Howard: What are you muttering about? I want a kiss. Vengeful, proud vampire bottom x dictatorial, possessive pirate captain top A king with an abundance of self-worth x a wolf whose boundaries keep retreating Theme: Even when civilization collapses, there are always people who carry hope in their hearts and bravely keep moving forward.
