Shock! I Became a God by Using the Occult to Fight Zombies

[The next novel I plan to write is "I Ruined the Infinite Game and Came Out on Top." Its blurb is at the very bottom. Please add it to your reading list!]

[The first three instances of this novel are complete.]

Qin Nianbei, the top-tier star of the supernatural world and humanity's strongest God of War, hears that a female God of War has appeared in the south, single-handedly holding back a zombie horde! Proud and aloof as he is, he can't help being curious about her. Then he sees how she fights zombies:

Amid a sea of corpses, the delicate young woman slaps a yellow talisman covered in strange writing with her left hand and shouts, "Break!" A huge swath of zombies abruptly freezes in place. She gives a light shake of a bell in her right hand, and a whole group of zombies obediently becomes her followers.

When the zombies surround a city, she scatters a handful of little yellow beans, turning them into soldiers! One person defends an entire city!

Qin Nianbei: That works too?!

Qiao Ning, a top-tier star and powerhouse of the metaphysical world, transmigrates into an apocalypse novel. The original character is a delicate, beautiful heiress who was switched at birth, but the fake heiress and the villain conspire against her and cruelly shove her into a horde of zombies! Qiao Ning arrives just then, and in desperation, uses a powerful metaphysical technique. To her surprise, it actually works!

Zombies are basically the same thing as jiangshi, give or take!

Qiao Ning slaughters her way through them!

The fake heiress and the villain are dumbfounded, and everyone in the city drops to their knees and calls her Boss.

Still, plenty of people think Qiao Ning only manages to fight zombies through sheer luck.

Then a "Ding-dong!" suddenly sounds in her mind. "Welcome to the little System~ My name is the Apocalypse Wri..."

Qiao Ning reacts on instinct: You want me to get myself killed?

"It's the Apocalypse Writer System! You write books! You can choose to receive various supernatural abilities as royalties, including metaphysical powers."

Qiao Ning: Deal.

And so everyone watches as Qiao Ning, a delicate little weakling, makes astonishingly rapid progress with her powers. Wherever she goes, every zombie bows its head and submits to her.

Unstoppable!

Everyone: Oh, is it too late to get on our knees and beg you to accept us as your followers?

[Mini Scene]:

Question: As a top-tier star in the supernatural world, what harsh words would you say to rising star Qiao Ning?

Qin Nianbei, the corner of his mouth lifting: Dinner's ready. Honey, remember to come home early.

Reporter: ...

The top-tier stars of both the supernatural and metaphysical worlds are here to show you a whole new world~

Coming Soon: "I Ruined the Infinite Game and Came Out on Top"

Bai Nuan binds herself to a Ruin-It System.

Huh? A system to stamp out obscenity?

"It's a system for ruining things!" the System protests. "You've transmigrated into a horror game. Your job is to fail on behalf of your team, ruining everything to add dramatic tension and serve as a foil to the protagonists. You can go home only after you rack up enough 'ruin points.' Got it?"

Bai Nuan: There's a job like that?!

Succeeding is hard, but failing should be easy, right?

So Bai Nuan is the first to charge at a poisoned item, provoke the NPCs, and tear into the final boss. She does whatever she can to make herself fail the levels!

The NPCs tremble: Don't come any closer!

The final bosses collectively question their lives: I-I'll tell you how to clear the game! Help!

The audience: This newbie's brave! She doesn't play by the rules! Tips! Show your support!

According to the game rules, the audience's affection is converted directly into points, all of which go straight into Bai Nuan's pocket.

Bai Nuan: Huh, I can exchange points for clues? Then I'll get one. Wait, why does this NPC kneel every time they see me?

Bai Nuan devotes herself to ruining everything, but somehow becomes the first person to clear the game.

Bai Nuan: You can play it like this? Then I'll make myself fail even harder!

The even harder result is that...

Bai Nuan's popularity keeps climbing. She knocks the top streamer off their throne, steals the limelight from the male and female leads, and becomes the game's new top-tier star. She even personally drags the Game Master down from their altar.

The System is so scared it spends every day teetering on the brink of a corrupted error message: Y-you need to take it easy!

Bai Nuan says: What's the fun in just going home? Blowing up the whole game is much more fun!
