The Fourth Calamity, Also Known as a Min-Maxer [Honkai: Star Rail Crossover]

[The male lead has no romantic pairing. There is a cross-dressing arc, but he later returns to normal. The premise hasn’t changed; Honkai: Star Rail elements have been added. You don’t need to have played the game to enjoy the story.] Mu Shuangyue is a ruthless meta gamer. When a full-dive game about Aeons happened to launch, he jumped right in as a veteran gamer, taking the Path of the Hunt in the Simulated Universe, choosing blessings of the Path of Abundance, building a main damage dealer for the Path of Destruction, and becoming an Emanator of Elation. Only, there was something off about this Simulated Universe. In the Warring States period, demons ran rampant. As soon as Mu Shuangyue entered the game, he received a mission: protect the dog-demon princess and her child. After completing the mission, Mu Shuangyue took charge of the Western Lands’ great demon’s widow and his taciturn eldest son, a young nobleman. Looking at the demons everywhere and the frail Princess Izayoi and her child, Mu Shuangyue suggested, “Let’s travel to the modern era through the Bone-Eater’s Well. Modern science is advanced, so there can’t be this many demons and monsters there.” As for the noble young man, who didn’t want to go to the modern era and only wanted to become stronger, Mu Shuangyue said, “If you can’t take a nuclear bomb, how can you call yourself a real man?” When they arrived in the modern era, Mu Shuangyue stared at the curses everywhere and fell silent. However, the Bone-Eater’s Well only opened once a month, and the princess needed modern medical care to stay healthy. So, to protect the princess and the half-demon, Mu Shuangyue killed a special-grade curse. Then a white-haired man invited him to attend Jujutsu High. Mu Shuangyue, who needed to support his family: “Do you offer benefits and a pension? Do you provide meals and accommodation? Is there an apartment for dependents?” 5t5: “...Yes.” Mu Shuangyue: “All right, then.” After playing the game for a long time, Mu Shuangyue began to wonder how his path to becoming stronger had turned into supporting a family and raising children. He looked at the two white-haired dog demons, the High Elder of the Vidyadhara, and the Stellaron-based life-form in his home, and fell silent. Coming Soon: Human-Shaped Curse, Also Known as Mara-Struck [Honkai: Star Rail Crossover] by Nan Taotao Blurb: Everyone knows that damage dealt by sacrificing your sanity is explosive. So when creating his character, Shi Yunchuan chose to become Mara-Struck and skip eight hundred years of detours. After entering the game, the good news was that he got every blessing from the Path of Abundance. The bad news was that he was on the Path of the Hunt. Good news: He didn’t have to worry about the Xianzhou putting out a warrant for him, because he had transmigrated. Bad news: In a fit of Mara-Struck madness, he wrecked a coffee shop and tore apart a nonhuman being. In the end, Shi Yunchuan was taken away by jujutsu sorcerers who came to exorcise the curse. The higher-ups in the jujutsu world originally wanted to sentence him to death, but... His Mara-Struck powers activated along with his blessings from the Path of Abundance. He couldn’t be killed. There was simply no way to kill him! Finally, the strongest white-haired, blue-eyed jujutsu sorcerer studied him for a long time. “Are you human, or a curse?” Shi Yunchuan, who had just returned to normal after his bout of Mara-Struck madness, silently snapped off a ginkgo branch above his head and made his demands: “Find something to cover my eyes. Is there anyone who can use cursed speech to suppress me?” Now all the pressure was on Inumaki. Shi Yunchuan became his guardian spirit. Theme: Give everything your best.
