Cultivating Immortality in a Holographic Game After Crossing Into the Interstellar Era

Chang Qiu went into seclusion, only to somehow end up in the interstellar era. She lost all her cultivation and became a kitten that had only just been born, forced to make a living at the mercy of humans.

But there was no such thing as a dead end for cats. Chang Qiu entered the newly developed interstellar cultivation game, Ancient Times.

She had never played the game, but she knew cultivation inside out. The continent of Ancient Times was practically her home, so she knew it better than anyone.

Other players in Ancient Times: This lousy game is so boring, but I have to play it because I can learn cultivation techniques from it. [Cursing GIF]

Chang Qiu in Ancient Times: Hey, I know this race! I know this technique! I know this sect!

Teammates: How does this girl know everything?!

As she progresses through the game's main quests, Chang Qiu uncovers secrets about the higher levels of interstellar society. It turns out the Empire is unfriendly toward the demon race, and even treats them atrociously.

So Chang Qiu fights for the title of Demon King and unleashes a storm of heavenly lightning.

The Biological Research Institute uses the demon race as test subjects and commits countless atrocities? Smite!

The noble families of the capital star aid and abet evil? Smite!

A great demon in the space pirate system prolongs its life with human sacrifices? Smite again!

In short, smite first and ask questions later.

Here's the blurb for my new novel, I Conquered the Stars by Modeling the Ancient World. It's currently ongoing, so please add it to your favorites!

Jiang Shulan fell from the Age of Declining Magic, through the apocalypse, and into the body of a fake heiress exiled to a star in the interstellar era.

The exile star doesn't hire child labor, so to make money quickly, Jiang Shulan had no choice but to start modeling on the Star Network.

Models on the Star Network could soothe out-of-control mental powers. Even though the effect was slight and updates were slow, they were still hugely popular. But when Jiang Shulan posted her first model, the entire Star Network went wild.

Netizens: "I haven't slept in three days, but I actually nodded off in Bamboo Lodge!"

"I was hooked on Tang Palace for seven days, and made it through a mental breakdown without incident!"

"Cats are so cute, dogs are so cute, pandas are so cute, sob... People in ancient times were so lucky! I want one too!"

Jiang Shulan: I'll make it happen! Check out these cat-shaped, dog-shaped, and panda-shaped robotic pets.

"Thank you, great bodhisattva! My life is complete!"

The Construction Department used to be able to make only healing models. At best, they could serve as a support unit, and even then the fast-paced military looked down on them.

Only after Jiang Shulan arrived did they learn that modeling could be done this way.

The Construction Department, back then: Mecha warriors are forever the best.

The Construction Department, now: A-Jiang, you're my god.

Mecha warriors: ?? Aren't you being a bit... Oh, it's Great Jiang. Never mind.

The Construction Department: Once you enter Jiang's sect, you'll never touch healing models again.

Mecha warriors: Great Jiang, get these people under control! Stop making those eyesores!

Short scene

The university's welcome ceremony was an annual fish-blasting zone, but this year the first-years gave the sophomores and juniors a rough time.

"Where did this batch of freshmen come from?"

"This is the toughest batch I've ever fought! They must be cheating!"

Jiang Shulan: I made all the models myself. How can that be cheating?

Later, Jiang Shulan accidentally revealed her identity. Her terrifying models in real life and her soothing models on the Star Network came together in an unlikely crossover, leaving the fans who yearned for ancient life stunned.

"Sadako, zombies, pencil spirits, fox demons... Was life in ancient times really that awful?!"

"Mom, I don't envy people from ancient times anymore!"

The insect race is rampant, and the people of the stars suffer greatly. When Jiang Shulan's horror models were released, they were deployed on the insect battlefront with impressive results.

But just as the interstellar army thought this was the limit, Jiang Shulan brought out her trump card: zombie models.

Interstellar people: Using the nightmares of ancient people against our nightmares? Brilliant!

Insect race: You can't bully insects like this!

Second upcoming novel: The Strongest Card Master in the Stars

Amelia is an elf, but she can't use any magic. Her only talent is recreating the powers of all kinds of creatures in nature with cards. But to obtain a card, she must get close to nature.

While seeking the card imprint of the Raging Sea, Amelia was accidentally swept into a whirlpool. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in another world.

There are no elves here, only humans. They use mecha and cards to fight the mindless insect race.

After learning about all the benefits card masters receive from the Card Masters' Guild, Amelia's eyes lit up. "You mean I can get all that?"

Guild staff: Esteemed card master, we need to record how many cards you have mastered.

Amelia, trying to hide her true abilities: Maybe... a few hundred?

The staff member drew a sharp breath. That was terrifying!

Theme: All living beings are equal, and demons can be good or bad
