Summoning Players: Cultivation for All

Fang Jue woke up one morning and discovered that he had transmigrated.

The bad news: He'd ended up on a beastman continent, where the beastmen were nearly twice his size, and he'd been mistaken for a sub-beastman. He was about to be dragged off to have babies.

The good news: He'd gained the transmigration essential, a golden finger that let him summon players!

Want to return to your own world? Sure! Become a god first.

Fang Jue: I @#&*#!

Since he needed other people's help and his ticket home was in the hands of his golden finger, he had no choice but to become a game developer and begin his grand career of talking his way through everything.

Too bad!

What are players? They're creatures known as the Fourth Calamity!

Think you're a game developer?

No, you're really just the neighborhood committee's overworked dad. (Not really.)

Fang Jue: I thought summoning players meant I could lie flat and wait to become a god. Turns out I'm just the players' babysitter and the newbie village chief!

Player 1: "What kind of crappy game is this? There's nothing to eat. Are you trying to starve us to death?"

Player 2: "What was the designer thinking? Who makes you wear floral pants in a beastman world?"

Player 3: "I never thought I'd see the day... when I'd grind myself to death over a few plastic bottle caps. It's heartbreaking to hear about and even worse to see!"

Fang Jue: "Is making a game easy? You all never stop whining! I'm done!"

Players: "No! Come back! This is the most wonderful game in the world! Please come back! Come back! (Reaching out dramatically!)"

Fang Jue: I'm lying flat. Don't @ me.

A bickering story about a player and a game developer who can't stand each other, yet bring out the best in each other.

[Key elements: My take on the Fourth Calamity, beastmen, cultivation. Giving the natives of the cultivation world a little taste of the players' shock and awe. (Not really.) A mindless, rambling entertainment story with a hodgepodge worldbuilding style. The author is terrible at titles and blurbs, so give it a click and see if it's to your taste.]

Upcoming no-couple book: The Plane-Hopping Part-Time Job App

Ning Yubai suddenly bound himself to a part-time job app at the lowest point in his life.

A glance at the homepage's job listings:

"Personal Shopper and Errand Runner," "Shopkeeper," "Substitute Teacher," and so on.

Ning Yubai: Pretty normal?

He scrolled down:

"Threading a Needle," "Hauling Bricks and Pushing Carts," "Murder and Arson," and so on.

Ning Yubai slowly typed a question mark.

Driven by curiosity, he kept scrolling:

"Stand-In for an Infinite-Flow NPC," "Substitute System," "Zombie Makeup Artist," "Temporary Fire Tender for an Alchemy Furnace," and so on and so forth.

Looking at the bizarre part-time jobs, Ning Yubai decided he had to try them out himself.

And as he tried them...

The strange rewards he received opened one door to a new world after another.
