Starting Out with a Little Fat Finch

Blurb: After finishing her missions for the Quick Transmigration Bureau, Xie Changying was dumped in another world to spend her retirement. It was a world where people cultivated the power of the stars and resonated with astral spirits, which took many forms and fought alongside their star warriors. Xie Changying now faced two choices. She could successfully sense and resonate with an astral spirit before the "Astral Spirit Exam," earning the chance to continue her studies at an advanced academy, or give up early on higher education and enter the workforce as an ordinary corporate drone, with benefits nowhere near as good as those enjoyed by cultivators. With no money and no prospects after graduation, Xie Changying decisively chose the first option. But after resonating with her natal star and awakening her astral spirit, she discovered it was a bronze-rank, chubby little bird, supposedly the most useless of all stars! She was met with endless regret, contempt, and mockery. But later, on the tournament stage... The bird's chirps suddenly turned into a dragon's roar. The little bird everyone called useless intimidated its opponent into defeat. Everyone: "Isn't the Song of Linghua supposed to be a healing ability? How did it turn into a threatening dragon's roar?" And later still... An original bronze-rank spirit crushed a legendary species. Everyone: "I'm done. I'm done. This little bird makes no sense at all!" Coming soon 1: Transmigrated into a Scrap of Iron A transfer student joined the combat program at Prometheus Military Academy. She never took part in combat training simulations, spending every day in the library with a scrap of iron on her back. Everyone thought she was an easy target in the combat program, and that they were only leaving her alone out of chivalry. That was until someone took an interest in the iron scrap and decided to use it to practice their metal powers. In full view of everyone, the transfer student planted that person headfirst in the dirt. Fu Dongzao, the "easy target": "Hm?" After failing to ascend, Fu Dongzao didn't have her soul scattered. Instead, she transmigrated into an unfamiliar world and became a scrap of iron. If its rust wasn't removed within ten years, she would be completely destroyed along with it. And only the power released when engraving inscriptions could wash away the rust. She spent every day in the library studying and carving all kinds of astral runes, hoping to make the scrap of iron shine again. Then someone set their sights on her "true form"? Enough is enough. What else could she do but teach them a lesson? Coming soon 2: Reborn, I Don't Want to Save the World Anymore Only after her death did Li Fusang understand that the continent she lived on was merely a realm created by mighty beings from the upper world to serve as a tribulation ground for Lord Qingwei and his Dao companion! The so-called calamity was nothing but a disaster they had orchestrated to grant the Lord the merit of saving the world. Her efforts to save it had been a joke! Heaven itself had turned against her, and her entire sect was wiped out in the calamity. Li Fusang didn't regret spending hundreds of years rushing from place to place. She only hated that she'd been deceived by that old scoundrel Qingwei, foolishly giving him her sincere affection, until her master, senior sister, and senior brother all lost their lives. After her soul drifted for a hundred years, she was given the chance to be reborn. Her eldest senior sister was grounded for stealing a chicken. Her second senior brother was practicing swordsmanship. Her third senior brother was still smithing. And the old geezer, the old geezer hadn't yet died fighting against the demon realm. How wonderful! Starting over, she would never again return to that path to heaven alongside Qingwei. As for the road ahead, she would ask only her sword!
