[Original story with many secret identities and lots of showing off, identities never exposed] [Mastermind] [Not mutual pining, an ensemble romance, many secret identities getting close]

Chu Zaizhou was known as a hardcore grinder and dominated the gaming world. One day, he stumbled upon a game called Savior.

To unlock every hidden achievement and side quest, Chu Zaizhou created hundreds of alternate accounts and played through their stories with one another.

#I'm the one destroying the world, I'm the one saving it, and I'm the one in a love-hate relationship with myself :D#

Chu Zaizhou: This is great!

He woke up one day to find the game had become reality.

“What Should I Do After Waking Up as the Savior?”

“I Never Put Any Points into My Main Character's Skills!”

To keep his utterly powerless main body safe and save the world, Chu Zaizhou announced on the spot that he was establishing an “Academy of Supernatural Abilities.”

Every student, teacher, and even the janitor was one of his alternate accounts.

The world of Plane D619 is plagued by supernatural incidents. Just as everyone is falling into despair, an Academy of Supernatural Abilities suddenly appears!

Its people are immensely powerful, and they handle the uncanny with practiced ease.

Chu Zaizhou: That's just muscle memory from all the grinding.

They stand united against outsiders. No matter how many spies come, not one makes it out alive.

Chu Zaizhou: A bunch of alts with a random outsider among them. Ha, get out of here!

Among themselves, they fight bitterly. The cold and aloof [Sage] oversees the gentle and compassionate [Prisoner]. The [Twins] are cursed never to meet. The [Warbler], who sings for his ideals, dies at the hands of his companion's thorns...

Chu Zaizhou: They're just random character settings...

Passerby A: So this ancient school has been protecting us for so long...

Passerby B: Oh my god, oh my god, I want to bang my head against the wall for Teacher Lu! Why would anyone lock him up when he's so gentle?

Passerby C: Don't go! He'll smile while cutting your kidneys out!

Passerby D: Go check the trending posts! The backstories of these big shots... throws up.jpg

As the world improves, people begin speculating about the identity of the principal, who never appears in public.

Before long, rumors begin to spread:

To help the world overcome its crisis, the principal sacrificed himself and merged with the school. He is the leader who lights the torch in the night, a god who walks among mortals.

[Congratulations on achieving your final personal achievement: Ascension to godhood!]

Chu Zaizhou: ...Is it possible that I'm just a shut-in playing video games?

Reading Guide:

1. In short, this is the story of the protagonist creating a world-saving organization out of thin air. It includes beautiful, strong, and tragic characters, which are the author's personal preference.

There is an ensemble cast (yes), secret identities getting tangled up and close (yes), and plenty of people showing off (yes).

2. Spiritual qi revival, global ascension. Don't draw parallels with reality. Reality doesn't have random uncanny beings and abilities.

3. There are romantic feelings between secret identities, and a group of people shipping couples together.

4. There are clear one-sided feelings from supporting characters, with a lot of focus on them and a major role in the story. So this belongs in the derivative danmei category.

5. The author is chuuni, and the story is chuuni. It may not suit readers who want to scrutinize the logic too closely. (Important!)

6. This story was started in 2021. Partway through, the outline forced a rewrite, and in 2023 another 150,000 characters were revised due to changes in the setting. Before it was contracted, it had no rankings at all. Clicks and comments before Chapter 35 aren't accurate.

P.S. Please don't read pirated versions. There have been too many revisions, and the pirated content is seriously outdated.

****[IMPORTANT] Recommending my friend's complete no-CP secret-identity novel with plenty of emotional pain. It's so good!****

The Aesthetics of a Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic BE, by We Huo, ID 5867738

Gong Du is the least popular god in the Three Thousand Divine Realms, with dominion over illness.

Every world has a protagonist group, and the group gathers the world's fortune.

His task is to protect the protagonist group while also giving them enough challenges to help them gain fortune.

Gong Du works tirelessly, creating obstacles for the protagonist group while also serving as their teacher, senior, or comrade-in-arms and guiding them.

But his ending has long been set in stone. He is destined to die.

World One:

[Federation general overthrown by a revolution; acting side effect: stomach trouble]

Gong Du plays the role of a gentle teacher, the protagonist group's beloved, while using his identity as a Federation general to put them through trials.

Later, in his capacity as a Federation general, he kills his own beloved's secret identity, forcing the protagonist group to work harder and overthrow the Federation.

But... before he dies, Gong Du looks at the group of protagonists with tears streaming down their faces and falls silent.

World Two:

[Supernatural ability world; acting side effect: Capgras delusion]

The golden sunflower always follows the sun. The flamboyant boy holds a flower and disappears beneath the sunlight.

“I died in the past to protect your future.”

World Three: Ancient-era treacherous official arc

“Spring in Jinling is beautiful.”

What the protagonist groups have to say:

In countless worlds, there is always someone like this.

Sometimes he walks alone along a road strewn with thorns.

Sometimes he dies in the darkness before dawn.

Sometimes he grovels and curries favor, yet straightens his back just before he dies.

Sometimes he spends his whole life unable to grasp the light he vowed to protect.

This person is their teacher, senior, or companion, a guide to many, and the regret they dare not touch.

P.S. The protagonist isn't a good person. He's a real piece of work, extremely so. He's a master actor and a script-writing genius who never gets exposed, and he knows exactly how to sell his tragic side without making a fuss. Everyone's relationships are friendship and family bonds.

Monsters on the Tip of the Tongue, by Zi Mu Tao, available in the author's collection

[Third-person narration]

“A monster has possessed my body.”

“Every night, I lose consciousness.”

“The refrigerator at home is stuffed full of strange things, and there are stains on the floor that are impossible to clean.”

“Watching the cases become more frequent on the news, I can't control my fear.”

“, Who are you?” I write on a piece of paper.

When I realize a monster has taken over my body, I try every way I can to get myself killed, hoping to force it out.

But no matter what I try, when I wake up again, my wounds have disappeared, and the feeling of being full is impossible to ignore.

“I hate you,” I say coldly.

That night, I receive a note from it for the first time. The handwriting is crooked, but I can recognize the strokes as mine.

“I luve you.”

Oh, so the monster is illiterate, too.

Until one day, I wake in the night after losing too much blood.

The familiar room, red candles scattered everywhere. Everything from the past seems poised to turn into something strange and terrifying under this eerie red glow. In the faint, flickering, ominous light, my hand begins to rise against my will.

The knife and fork are sharp, a glint of cold light on them. Something sticky and roe-like, its identity unknown, is slowly approaching my face.

The rich juices burst in my mouth. My wounds gradually disappear, and even my strength grows.

It's delicious.

I suddenly realize the monster only wants to feed me.

The question is, what exactly is my food made of?!

In world D620, monsters hide among humans. They are devious and crafty, and they feed on human souls.

Humans have come up with all kinds of ways to stop them, but nothing works.

Then, one day, the monsters begin to disappear at an astonishing rate.

Some say it is humanity's victory. Others suspect an even more terrifying conspiracy.

Everyone is searching for the king who made the monsters bow.

This is a world where light and darkness are tangled beyond recognition. Some kneel and pray, some set themselves ablaze, and some take up their blades and face death...

And Song Linchuan stands among the crowd, staring at the black shadow in the mirror that looks back at him, pondering a much more practical question:

What should I eat tonight?

A clingy, obsessive top who loves feeding the bottom black sludge X a calm, battle-crazed bottom who is determined to get stronger

1. Nonhuman romance, pseudo-selfcest.

2. A long plot with plenty of face-slapping, showing off, and satisfying battles.

3. The protagonist grows stronger and becomes the strongest.

Theme: Those who can act should act, and those who can speak should speak. The world is in our own hands.
