After My Ex Drove Out All of Humanity in My Name

[Preorder: No One Gets to Become an Urban Legend, about an investigator from the Urban Legend Investigation Bureau who returns to before the urban legends appear.] Blurb: Pi Min, a modern girl, transmigrates into a strange world where an entire planet belongs to a single ultimate owner. Technology is highly advanced, yet ordinary people have almost no room to live. The only way to rise in the world is to take a global exam and become the ultimate owner's servant. Unfortunately, the original owner of Pi Min's body studied herself to exhaustion and still failed. All she could do was inherit her parents' junkyard and make a living collecting scrap. Looking at the cramped conditions around her, Pi Min had assumed that for a nobody like her at the bottom of society, life was much the same whether technology was advanced or primitive. Then one day, she woke to an announcement bearing the ultimate owner's name, ringing across the entire planet. As the planet's sole owner, the ultimate owner had decided to uphold his legal rights under the Private Property Protection Act and exile all of humanity into space. To make up for the losses he had suffered from years of maliciously expropriated private property, he even forced all of humanity into a livestreamed game called Cosmic Drifting, for the entertainment of the entire universe. At first, Pi Min thought it was a joke. But after the world spun around her, she found herself in the vastness of space along with her junkyard. In the face of this sudden upheaval, she realized her only regret was that she would never see the boyfriend she had just broken up with. He was gorgeous, with fair skin and long legs, but far too high-maintenance. An ordinary person like her simply couldn't afford to keep him. At a loss, she opened the main livestream for Cosmic Drifting. A virtual host was interviewing the ultimate owner. "Why suddenly exile all of humanity?" "The girl I liked dumped me. I felt like life had lost all meaning." Pi Min was shocked to see that the ultimate owner, dressed in a suit and swirling a glass of red wine, had exactly the same face as her ex-boyfriend. In that instant, her ex-boyfriend's furious parting words, "You'll regret this!" suddenly took on a whole new meaning. Blurb captured on 2025-05-10 Preorder: No One Gets to Become an Urban Legend In 4036 AD, the supernatural descended upon Blue Star. Urban legends ran rampant, and fewer than one in ten people survived. Ke Xue, the strongest investigator in the Urban Legend Investigation Bureau, was determined to wipe out every urban legend. But outnumbered, and having sent off all her comrades, she resolutely ventured deep into the urban legends' lair to die alongside their master. Never in her dreams did she imagine she would be lucky enough to be reborn ten years before the supernatural descended. The powerful urban legends who would one day toy with all of humanity were still completely ordinary. The S-rank urban legend "Shadow Eater," who would become the nightmare of countless people, was rummaging through trash bins downstairs from her apartment. The S-rank "Headless Horseman," who would one day claim countless lives, was still an utterly ordinary office worker in glasses. Even the master of urban legends, who would one day personally snap her neck, was currently just a pretty, gloomy boy. Unwilling to watch the tragedy happen all over again, Ke Xue immediately decided to nip every urban legend in the bud. The good news: She was reborn. The bad news: The System hadn't refreshed, and its database was still stuck ten years in the future. Every time she tried to approach those poor little things, the System let out a series of shrill alarms. [Warning, warning: Host has entered the S-rank supernatural domain "Chunshan High School." Your life is in imminent danger!] [Warning, warning: Host has initiated physical contact with an S-rank urban legend. Host is courting death!] [Warning, warning: Host has accepted the challenge of the Master of Urban Legends. Your life is now on a countdown!] Ke Xue, who was just going to school and interacting with her classmates: ... Lin Yi, the Master of Urban Legends, dreamed of creating a world with no humans, only urban legends. Unfortunately, he stumbled at the final hurdle. Just as his dream was within reach, his sworn enemy ambushed him, and all his plans came to nothing. When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find himself back before he became an urban legend. Being a completely useless human was one thing, but his contracted beast was now curled up in his enemy's arms, meowing, his most devoted follower now obeyed his enemy's every command, and, worst of all, he was holding a love letter written to his enemy.
