Thankfully, this Sea King System doesn't make him become a "playboy." Instead, it has him build ships, reclaim land from the sea, build islands, train troops, and become a "king of the sea." Fueled by his love of the ocean, in this unfamiliar ancient world where the victor takes all and human lives are treated like weeds, he rises from a fishing village boy to the throne, one step at a time. Thankfully, he has someone by his side along the way, walking hand in hand with him. [CP Mini-Theater 1] At twenty-two, Lang Yue is the biggest pirate chief in Sihai City. He rules three islands and tens of thousands of underlings, dominating these waters. Ships from every nation tremble at the mention of his name. He considers himself invincible at sea. Until he meets the one he loves. Even tempered steel turns soft in his hands, and he is nothing but tender with his beautiful jade-like beloved. "Honey, you're so handsome!" "Am I... your honey?" He Shui pauses, then flashes his most perfect smile, thinking that he needs to make sure Lang Yue has a proper understanding of their respective strength and status. Lang Yue is entranced by his beloved's stunning smile... The next day, clutching his aching lower back, he falls into deep self-doubt. [CP Mini-Theater 2] One is a powerful, strikingly beautiful merfolk, and the other is a gentle, handsome island lord with a generous hand. Before realizing his feelings, Lang Yue wants to catch the merfolk and keep him as a pet with his left hand, while using his right to pull the island lord close and ask him to be his little brother. After he figures it out, Lang Yue realizes he's in serious trouble. He likes them both. Even in his dreams, he faces the impossible choice, ending with a horrifying vision of splitting himself in two. Luckily, the merfolk and his little brother are the same person, so he doesn't have to cut himself in half. Then He Shui asks, "Do you like me better as a human or as a merfolk?" Lang Yue: "!" Help! This is a life-or-death question. How should he answer? Before You Read: 1. Seme-focused story. He Shui is the seme and Lang Yue is the uke. Both are strong, and they dote on each other. 2. Everyday life, farming, business, infrastructure building, and leveling up. The protagonist has an overpowered golden finger. 3. Lots of original worldbuilding. The protagonist develops gradually at first. In the middle and later parts, the career and romance storylines progress together, with lots of interaction. My new seme-focused novel, The World Is in Chaos, So I'm Sleeping [The Fourth Calamity], is now serialized. Please add it to your favorites! Xie Ci, the strongest blacksmith in an apocalyptic world, transmigrates to a peaceful modern world. When his memories fully awaken, he is injured and lying in a hospital. His mother has died, his younger sister has a terminal illness, his family is buried in debt, and his father has abandoned them and disappeared. A terrible start, but thankfully his forging ability came with him, along with a transmigration golden finger. A mining minigame that gives him free ore. Returning to his old trade, he forges, earns money, pays off debts, and gets his sister treatment. But just after he saves enough to renovate his little shop, a horde of immortal people who can revive endlessly suddenly appears in the world. They wear conservative robes, casually cast silent spells, are both curious about and disdainful of technology, and shout about conquering new lands, making pacts with magical beasts, and taking over the world! And then... they really do break the seal on the continent, ushering in a whole new world. Players? A game world? Or magic returning? Reality and illusion don't matter. As the world turns upside down, he stays in his shop watching players flood in to buy "equipment." Money pours in, letting him raise his sister to good health and raise his "Silver Wolfhound"... into his lover. He gets his hands on an alchemy journal in exchange, and takes the opportunity to pursue even more wondrous alchemical knowledge. · Fester Cassir, a magical prodigy from the hidden world, is forced to sign a marriage contract to protect his younger sister. After being seriously injured, he accidentally passes through the seal and ends up beside the person he is engaged to. Pale and thin, the young man is breathtaking at first glance. He is gentle and dependable in front of his sister, but a lazy, wicked little devil around him: "A wolfhound? Great, you can stay and guard the house." "You can use magic? Then work to pay off your medical bills." "You can turn back into a human? Tsk... You'll have to sleep with me to stay." At first, Fester wants to break the contract. In the end, though, he is the one who grabs Xie Ci by the neck and forces a wedding ring onto his finger. (PS: Xie Ci made the ring.) An insanely powerful, beautiful alchemist who dreams of doing nothing seme (Xie Ci) vs. a loyal, jealous battle mage uke forced to work off his debt (Fester) Reading Guide: 1. Seme-focused story. Both leads are beautiful. They bicker and dote on each other. Slow-burn, lighthearted wish fulfillment. 2. Not a traditional Fourth Calamity infrastructure story. Also known as Watching Players Make Trouble and The Fourth Calamity of a High-Magic World Made Me a Billionaire. 3. Currently writing ahead.
