[Blurb]

Lin Shu was a stone-faced child from the time he was little. He loved watching people panic and run around like headless chickens, then get so angry they stamped their feet, all while being completely unable to do anything to him.

No matter how funny he found it, though, he never smiled.

Later, he was marked and swept up in a global wave of supernatural transformations. He traveled between different worlds, facing supernatural monsters and all kinds of strange phenomena. His only goal was to survive.

While the other players fought monsters and battled the transformations, even being forced to turn on their own kind, Lin Shu sat swinging his legs on top of a towering wall, watching them roll around and crawl all over the ground. The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly, and he let a little smile show.

A strange nursery rhyme foretold everyone's fate. Terrifying monsters hummed as they took the players' lives.

The players turned pale at the sound of the song, only to see a pretty boy happily run over and join hands with the monsters, singing nursery rhymes with them.

The players: "..."

Footsteps echoed across the bridge, back and forth, accompanied by children's playful laughter and childish singing. Lin Shu stopped a lost player, then walked alone toward a shadow in the thick fog. "That was a lovely song, but don't sing it next time... You were a little off-key."

The singing stopped abruptly.

Lin Shu walked through a haze of blood and picked up a bright green eyeball from the ground. He handed it to a woman sadly singing a ballad. "You have beautiful eyes, and you sing beautifully too... So don't cry anymore."

The bloody tears in the woman's eyes stopped.

A man stretched his limbs like rubber, laughing and singing like a madman. Lin Shu picked up a twisted, misshapen cat and, with a series of clicks, turned its head, which had been twisted a full 360 degrees, back into place. Smiling, he said, "Kitties are so cute."

The mad laughter stopped.

There was a legend known only among high-level players.

It said that in the deepest world stood a black castle, home to the terrifying Lord of Monsters.

He loved watching flowers bloom in blood, and the clear sound of bones falling from a tower. Most of all, he loved creating terror and despair with his songs, then smiling amid the blood and screams.

No player had ever seen him and lived. Later, it was said that the castle's master had disappeared. Only a battered, cracked doll wandered through the dark and silent world, singing a sorrowful ballad every day, as though waiting for its master to return.

I set out on the path to godhood because it was the only road that led to Him.

New novel: "Saving the Beautiful but Tragic Villain Has Me at Odds with the System"

[Blurb]

Lu Xingxue transmigrates into the body of a tyrannical city lord. The System tells him to save a beautiful but tragic villain. This villain is so powerful that he not only kills the protagonist and takes his place, but eventually destroys the Heavenly Dao itself.

As a cannon-fodder villain, Lu Xingxue starts by ripping out the protagonist's bones and draining his blood, and nearly chains him to a torture rack to be cut to pieces... And after all that, the System still wants him to redeem the protagonist and use love to change him?!

Lu Xingxue laughs coldly.

This System must have something seriously wrong with it. Lu Xingxue hates being told what to do more than anything, and the System's constant nagging is like tap-dancing all over his red line.

He has only one thing to say to it:

Don't tell this lord what to do!

As the righteous and demonic factions fight each other, the protagonist prepares to unleash an army of hungry ghosts and destroy the world. The System sobs that only Lu Xingxue can stop him. Lu Xingxue lies down, pulls up the covers, and tells them all not to disturb his eternal rest.

But just as he lies down, the protagonist gives up on destroying the world, and the righteous faction gives up on vanquishing demons. One by one, they kneel and beg him not to die.

Fu Yuan has a secret: he can hear the conversations between transmigrators and their Systems.

Those transmigrators treat him as a target to win over, doing whatever it takes to raise his affection for them. Ha! He'd sooner give his affection to a dog than to those transmigrators.

Later...

Fu Yuan obediently crouches in front of Lu Xingxue, raises his big head, and looks at him. "Woof."

.

Fu Yuan has another secret: he has actually been reincarnated countless times.

Those transmigrators want to play games with him, never realizing that he has already seen through their tricks. No matter how much they act, in his eyes they're nothing but clowns.

Take the latest transmigrator, for example, who wants everyone to think he's the kind of person who lies flat and isn't afraid of dying.

Ha. What a trick. The more they act like they don't fear death, the more they cling to life. The moment they're actually about to die, they panic more than anyone.

Later...

Fu Yuan carefully takes Lu Xingxue's hand, his eyes red as he pleads, "Please don't die."

A battle-worn bottom who's had enough and doesn't want to struggle anymore & a mad top who's sick of life and wants someone to die with him

Coming soon: "After Turning My Top Over to the Authorities, I Became a God in Another World"

Ji Su has been a strange child since he was little. He can hear and see strange beings, and everyone thinks there's something wrong with his head. To avoid being sent to a psychiatric hospital, Ji Su learns to pretend not to see them.

Then, on his twentieth birthday, he wakes up in the middle of a strange ruin. Countless unseen eyes watch him, and once night falls, terror roams everywhere. The only thing that makes him feel safe is the statue he sees when he opens his eyes.

Listening to the ghostly howls nearby, Ji Su curls up by the stone statue's legs and trembles. Eventually, too frightened to take it any longer, he hugs the statue's leg, then climbs right into its lap.

The statue glows with a faint golden light, and a voice sounds in his mind:

"A weak believer detected. Cuddle up to the statue to earn faith points and receive a portion of the believer's divine authority."

Ji Su is so startled by the statue coming to life that he rolls onto the ground. Once he figures out what happened, he gazes at the statue's handsome face and falls into thought.

So this is a god's statue?

And somehow he's become its only believer, and received a portion of its divine authority?

But what use does he have for this authority?

He's the only living person here. Apart from a stone statue that seems to be a deity, everything else is some kind of unknown thing.

Cursing under his breath, Ji Su investigates what this portion of divine authority can do. The answer leaves him stunned.

The authority granted to him by the god is...

Summon players?

Did he end up in the wrong genre?!

Some time later.

Ji Su takes a human-shaped stone statue to the government and says he wants to hand over an outer god.

The world where the outer god lived was destroyed by a supernatural invasion. Now that strange world has set its sights on Blue Star, and is about to descend upon it.

But supernatural forces had already begun to seep in before then. The things Ji Su saw and heard were those forces.

The outer god warns the people of Blue Star that they must never let the supernatural forces descend upon their planet. Otherwise, all resistance will be futile. They must keep the battlefield in another world.

Keep the supernatural beyond the planet's borders.

And so, Ji Su joins forces with the government and summons the Fourth Calamity, beginning his path to godhood.
