A Second Chance at Life: Better to Go Straight to the Crematorium from the Start

Updates after the 30th will go up after 11 p.m., with 6,000 words. Check out my upcoming original danmei novel, After Binding to the Villain System, I Became a God. The blurb is at the very bottom~ As the top agent at the Universal Transmigration Bureau, Shui Jiangyue is handsome, clever, and exceptionally talented at acting. He completes missions at incredible speed and is practically flawless. Since all the roles he takes on are villains bent on destroying the world, he’s known as the Universal Transmigration Bureau’s Great Demon King. When he’s assigned to save the world in a crossover anime universe, Shui Jiangyue faces this unfamiliar mission without fear, even though it’s his first of this kind. Then he’s delighted to discover that this is a world he’s visited on a previous mission. Not only has he done a mission here, he also successfully achieved the ending where the world is destroyed. And in this mission, the protagonist he had once betrayed has been reborn. After Shui Jiangyue cheerfully crosses paths with the protagonist, who is glaring at him with hatred, the System stammers, “Boss, maybe we should retreat for now?” Shui Jiangyue smiles and shakes his head. “We have to seize the initiative.” The System: “Huh?” · Tokyo Jujutsu High: He was the strongest man's defector from Tokyo Jujutsu High. On the night he left, the strongest tried to grab his hand, but all he left behind was a long knife plunged into the strongest man's chest beneath the clear moonlight, and those cruel words: “Every time we meet, I’ll kill you.” Reborn, Gojo Satoru returns to Tokyo Jujutsu High for a second time. He sees the traitor raise a hand and greet him with a bright smile. “Hey, classmate.” Bungo Stray Dogs: He was an ambitious usurper. On the night he took the position of boss, the path beneath his feet was covered in blood. Looking at the dying Dazai Osamu beside him, he presses a scalpel to his throat and chuckles. “Dazai-kun, have you learned what the pain of death feels like this time?” Reborn, fifteen-year-old Dazai Osamu looks at the elegant, harmless-looking boy before him and smiles as he performs a magic trick. A brilliant rose emerges from his dark top hat. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to getting along, Dazai-kun.” Phantom Troupe: He was the Phantom Troupe's hunter. Before the plan could begin, he killed all his comrades. When the pitch-black auction house became a hunting ground, he tiptoed through the ruins like a cat until he found Chrollo. Looking down at him from above, he asked, “Boss, have you paid the price for your arrogance?” Reborn, Chrollo watches with his own eyes as the bloodstained boy carves a path through Meteor City. His gaze is bright and sharp. “I want to join the Phantom Troupe.” Shui Jiangyue: “Our motto is: As long as we don’t die, keep calm and keep being shameless. If the crematorium doesn’t come for me, I’ll go to it.” Even the cruelest person has a pure corner in their heart. Beneath that purity, I want to bury a soul that will never die. Coming soon: After Binding to the Villain System, I Became a God After Yu Yan dies, he binds to a villain System and transmigrates into a Western fantasy novel. In the novel, he is the most beloved eldest son of an earl. In this world devoted to the God of Light, he was born with the golden hair and blue eyes most cherished by the God of Light. He is the child of light by nature, destined to receive the God of Light’s guidance at his eighteenth birthday baptism and go to the temple to accompany the god forever. But he’s a villain, so he’s destined to be humiliated by the protagonist. At the baptism ceremony, Yu Yan’s despised illegitimate elder brother timidly walks onto the platform. Under everyone’s mocking gazes, he presses the test device. A sea of golden light blinds everyone, and beneath its glow, the God of Light personally crowns the illegitimate son. In an instant, everyone looks at Yu Yan differently. They sneer at him and accuse him of pretending to be the child of light and offending the true child of light. Under their accusatory gazes, Yu Yan walks step by step toward the test device. His illegitimate elder brother looks pleased, yet puts on a sorrowful expression. “Little brother... I didn’t mean to...” Before he can finish, the test device bursts into another sea of golden light. Within the magnificent halo... A brand-new god appears, with broad, pure-white feathered wings. Its face is holy and flawless, cool and transcendent. It gazes compassionately at the world, yet bows and solemnly kisses Yu Yan on the forehead. “I came for you.” Feeling the jealousy of his illegitimate elder brother behind him, and the shock of everyone else, Yu Yan, who used to be a summoner, can’t help but curl his lips into a smile. Didn’t see that coming, did you? He had another trick up his sleeve! · On this decaying continent, only the God of Light has ever been shown favor. The four kingdoms wage endless wars to win the God of Light’s sole blessing. At his eighteenth birthday baptism, Yu Yan draws another god from beyond this world. Everyone wonders what kind of power Yu Yan possesses, until an extraordinary nation rises from nowhere. Carefree, wicked demons spread bliss as they flap their wings; beautiful, brutal merfolk sing songs of death aboard ancient ships; short, clever dwarves build cannons that can defeat a thousand foes; lively, pure elves use their harps to save countless lives... They all come from ancient, forgotten myths, species long believed extinct, beautiful and powerful. Yet every last one of them comes for Yu Yan. They reverently call him, “King.” Theme: Life has many faces. Find joy in knowing yourself.
