My Secret Identities Span the Universe

[Updates paused] [Updates paused] [Updates paused] [Please don’t start reading this one!] [I’ve posted the outline for the rest of the story in the author’s notes for Chapter 27 and the final chapter.] Feng Changyuan had just finished an ordinary day of role-playing when something called the System whisked him away to a completely unfamiliar, high-tech cyber world. Here, humanity’s living space was divided into 26 zones, from A to Z. And unlike his old world, this one also had a group of outsiders who called themselves players. “We’ve detected that you’re an excellent fit for the mission objectives of our Myriad Worlds System. We hereby invite you to take part in an ultra-immersive role-playing experience.” Feng Changyuan, who was born to perform, thought: There’s an offer like that? A Word Spirit Master whose words became reality. A gifted cultivator. A prophet who could foresee the future. A guardian of order and justice who faced the wall. A medium who could communicate with all things. A magician whose powers were ever-changing. The master of the Bright Tower, so clever he seemed almost demonic. A quick transmigration god whose moods were unpredictable. The Lord of the Abyss, whom no one could look upon directly. A super-genius with knowledge of countless worlds. An arbiter who wielded the power of judgment. The cyber world’s rulers believed these figures were guides who would lead their planes into the Age of Divine Descent. The players thought they were powerful NPCs from different factions in the main story. Then one day, the cyber world merged with the world of the Fourth Calamity. The players: “Holy crap!” The cyberworld natives: “Holy crap!!” Feng Changyuan, at the top of his game: “Help me up, I can still act!!!” - Selfcest! Selfcest! Selfcest! The protagonist tops himself and bottoms for himself! Important enough to say three times. - A plot-driven power fantasy. The protagonist completely immerses himself in playing his secret identities, and every one of them is a total badass! - The secret identities never get exposed. The story includes elements like Cthulhu, cyberpunk, and full-dive virtual reality, all in service of the plot. These aren’t the conventional versions. Blurb for My Twin Brother Is the Chosen One Qin Xiuye thought he’d worked himself to death and gone to meet God. Instead of meeting God, he became a fetus that was still developing. [Congratulations, Host! You have bound to the sign-in System. A Dragon-Aotian is nearby. Double rewards are available.] Hearing the golden finger’s announcement, Qin Xiuye turned to look at the other fetus beside him. If he’d heard correctly, had he become the twin brother of a Dragon-Aotian? Thinking of the orphanage trope in certain novels, there was a good chance he’d die at birth, and his parents would probably die too. To keep his whole family from meeting that fate, Qin Xiuye worked from the womb to suppress his younger brother’s Dragon-Aotian aura. Why would anyone give up the life of a powerful cultivator from a long line of cultivators to become some orphan who rose to power? As his older brother, he was the first to object! And so the Qin twins of the immortal family fought from childhood on, with Qin Xiuye beating up his younger brother all by himself. Unable to take it any longer, his second younger brother ran away to the lower realm to prove he was just as good as his big brother! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west: he would defeat his brother! After seeing this story play out, Qin Xiuye decided that it was still better than a villain’s story where his whole family was wiped out from the start. Then, just as Qin Erdi fought his way through countless challenges and returned to the Qin family to issue his challenge, he heard: “Second Young Master, the eldest young master has already prepared your succession ceremony. Please proceed to the main city.” The friends and family who had accompanied Qin Erdi stood there, stunned. What? Weren’t they supposed to be the villain’s final boss? Theme: Be honest and upright, and do your work conscientiously.
