An Ancient-Era Infinite Flow Story

[Complete] As the sole personal disciple of the Blade Immortal, Bai Zhengliu's greatest talent was practicing the blade, and his worst talent was judging people. At just twenty-two, he was already renowned throughout the martial world. Everyone who saw him called him "Hero Bai." Also at twenty-two, he had not only suffered an unrequited first love, but had also caught his current boyfriend in bed with that first love. They didn't care about Bai Zhengliu at all. Perhaps Heaven thought Bai Zhengliu hadn't had enough bad luck. On the day he caught them cheating, he ran into a ghost. Bad news: The female ghost that had climbed out of a well was at the end of the corridor, and she was getting closer. Good news: He wasn't the only one who'd encountered a ghost. The terrified couple in the room hadn't even gotten dressed, and there was also a hapless swordsman who'd been cheated on just like him. With danger closing in, Bai Zhengliu promptly invited the other hapless man, "Brother, how about we get out of here first?" Mei Yinghan: "..." He said nothing, silently drawing his sword.

[Coming soon 1: I Transmigrated to the Stars and Became a Mecha Master] In a spacefaring age ruled by sentinels and guides, ordinary people, who make up just 0.02 percent of the population, are considered "cripples" and are often abandoned as soon as they are born. Shu Yao's new body was one of them. He grew up in an orphanage on a remote planet, earned top marks in every subject, and dreamed of becoming a mecha designer. His teachers and classmates all shook their heads in regret. An ordinary person could never get into a mecha-related program, no matter how hard he tried. Shu Yao knew that, but he didn't want to give up. In the year he graduated from high school, Shu Yao heard the news. If he could use a mecha of his own design in the Galaxy Battlefield League and become one of the regional top hundred, he could get a spot in the online courses at the Federation's top university! But on the remote planet where they lived, no game pods usable by ordinary people were sold. With no one to turn to and at a loss for what to do, Shu Yao found a teenage sentinel who had been kicked out of his home by his stepmother. Shu Yao: I'll take care of you, but you have to compete using the mecha I designed. Alexei: That seems a bit unnecessary... Shu Yao: Actually, I have a dream: to build a mecha that ordinary people can pilot, too. Alexei: (instantly fired up) What else do you need? We'll do it together! Shu Yao: ? (Why would a sentinel get so excited about this...? Never mind. As long as someone can compete.) They signed up aiming to reach the regional semifinals, but somehow ended up winning the league championship.
