Blurb
Xie Juan, an unlucky kid who had lived with his head on the line for as long as he could remember, finally made it out alive at twenty. He left behind his blood-soaked life of risking his neck for a living and gained a proper name, an identity, a place to live, food to eat, and even the chance to go to school… A few years ago, he never would have dreamed he’d see the day.
Thinking it over, it really hadn’t been easy to make it this far. From today on, he would live well. That was what he told himself. He’d already survived a first half of life worse than dog shit, so what hardship could he possibly fail to overcome?
But fate always loved playing tricks.
Sometimes, perhaps just because you nodded off, it would open the door to a whole new world.
…And every inch of that world was full of danger.
Xie Juan: ?
Si Wei: Oh, it’s just a minor monster. Don’t worry.
The minor monster goes on a killing spree.
Xie Juan: …
Xie Juan: !
Si Wei: Oh, that’s an NPC. They’re probably here to give us information. Don’t worry.
The NPC goes on a killing spree.
Xie Juan: .
Xie Juan: …
Si Wei: Ah, that’s a boss. It’s a little dangerous, but I’m here, so don’t wor
Xie Juan silently pushes aside the hand inching toward his waist.
Xie Juan: …You’re obviously the most dangerous thing here.
Si Wei: Come on, you’re one to talk.

Coming soon: Quick Transmigration: The Gold-Star Story Mender
Every story born from consciousness gives rise to a real world in a branching dimension. Countless branches eventually flow into a single trunk: civilization.
For various reasons, some of these worldlines rot and collapse, placing an enormous strain on the universe’s resources.
Thus, the Worldline Restoration Bureau was established to deal with such worldlines. The Bureau is under the Civilization Development Association and reports to it. Its duty is to “restore” these branching worldlines and reduce needless consumption of the universe’s resources.
Mo Luhua, the number-one gold-star restorer in the career-focused worlds ranked among the top hundred in the Bureau, is sent to continue working in the scum-avenging world that ranked last in this year’s performance results, with the goal of improving its overall standards. Ever optimistic, Mo Luhua accepts the assignment with honor, bringing the scum-avenging world the most cutting-edge theories and the slickest techniques. While completing his scum-avenging tasks, he expands the career storyline and even manages to complete the romance storyline along the way… With his own efforts, he brings the world to the number-one spot among the top hundred.
His old department can’t bear to let him go, his new department refuses to let him leave, and the romance-world department even tries to poach this genius halfway through…
A congratulatory message arrives in Mo Luhua’s hands: Congratulations, Restorer Mo Luhua, on completing your credits and graduating! Before you leave, the Honeymoon World invites you to enjoy a specially approved vacation. If you’re interested, please report as soon as possible.
Mo Luhua: ? There’s a world like that?
The various worlds: ?? Since when did we have that kind of world?
The top: Bet you didn’t see that coming. I just added it.
Other people’s way of getting revenge on scumbags: build them a lavish crematorium.
Mo Luhua’s way of getting revenge on scumbags: as the family heir, focus wholeheartedly on running the business; as an apocalypse researcher, devote himself to finding a cure; after becoming a captive of demonic cultivators, start a school on their mountain; take charge of a forest treasury, teach people about rare species, and dispel ignorant superstition along the way…
The System, who never gets a moment to slack off, is on the verge of tears: I’ve never seen a Host this dedicated!
Mo Luhua: Give every task my all, spread my wings like a roc and keep the world going, scum, hey, where did the scum I’m supposed to punish go?
The top, smiling: That’s right. Where did they go? I have no idea.
Mo Luhua: …
