When a Cultivator Travels to a Magical World [Western Fantasy]

This is pretty badly written, and I can’t bring myself to look back at it. Maybe you shouldn’t read it either.

Ye Yun is a sword cultivator who somehow ends up inside the body of the second daughter of Count Knightley on the continent of Isgledo.

She thinks that with her experience as an immortal cultivator, she’ll thrive in this world. But before she’s even been enrolled for half a month, Elaine is dubbed a walking school-rule-generating machine. As the name suggests, she single-handedly adds multiple new rules to the school handbook.

Elaine, who was the first disciple of the Sword Sect in her previous life and is still aiming to become the top student at the academy, is deeply dissatisfied!

The teacher says everyone’s build is different, so broom riding requires concentration and finding the posture that suits you best. Drawing on years of sword-flying experience, Elaine plants her feet on the broom and shoots off like a bolt of lightning.

She still can’t understand why the academy bans flying while standing. That’s how she always learned in her previous life!

During a magic duel with a classmate, Elaine wields her wand like a weapon, swinging it with tremendous force. Her opponent doesn’t even manage to finish a single incantation before she beats them black and blue. If the teacher hadn’t arrived in time, she might even have used Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Their Origin.

So before long, the academy issues a rule banning students from using their wands as weapons to launch physical and magical attacks on classmates.

Elaine: ? Standing still and reciting spells is so silly.

As for the school rule that says the academy’s ghosts are our friends, so don’t try Eastern spells on them, that one actually has nothing directly to do with Elaine.

She only told her classmates a few things about the Rebirth Mantra and the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra. Who would’ve thought Eastern spells could work on Western ghosts too? Chinese culture really is vast and profound!

Through her own efforts, Elaine sparks a cultivation craze in the world of magic. Many years later, when people talk about Elaine, they’d rather call her a messenger of the gods than mention how she multiplied the academy’s rules during her school days.

Entrusted by the gods to bring humanity out of the low-magic era and into the high-magic era, she ends the predicament of human mages being unable to cast spells without wands, stores spells on flimsy sheets of paper (talisman charms), and awakens magical talent in ordinary children.

These conversations usually end with someone saying, “Oh, come on, darling. Let’s go eat Elaine’s Cauldron again. They say it’s Miss Knightley’s favorite dish!”

Elaine: I never should’ve eaten hot pot out of a cauldron that time!

Trade Expert in the Demon Realm

After An Ran resigns in a fit of rage, having slapped her boss while standing up for someone, she somehow ends up joining a mysterious, unspeakable organization.

The organization’s headquarters are in a psychiatric hospital. Its employees have a distinctly anime-inspired style, and it handles affairs in the Demon Realm. Yes, that Demon Realm, where vampires are permanent residents, flame demons fight one another every day, and people take pride in the Seven Deadly Sins.

Her colleagues are all experts at beating up demons. In this new era, the current Demon King is lazy and has no grand ambition to conquer the world, so they need An Ran, with her background in economics and trade, to give the Demon Realm a more civilized kind of material beating.

An Ran, who only graduated a short while ago: ?

The inexperienced trade expert grits her teeth and bluffs her way through.

An inconspicuous Venus flytrap unexpectedly becomes a favorite of high-ranking demons. It’s so popular that there’s never enough to go around, and it earns her a pile of good stuff from the demons.

The little fan she carries around is mistaken for a high-level magical artifact, and she trades it to the Demon Realm for several tons of worthless colored stones.

An Ran looks at the dazzling gems before her. They’re top quality, guaranteed natural and untreated. Thank you, that’s several hundred million in pure profit.

With her ideas flowing, the merchant An gets more and more carried away with her bluffs. Not only does she rake in a fortune, she also trades for plenty of strategic resources and even fosters deeper exchanges between the two realms.

Meanwhile, more and more demons gather around her. The wise and brave Blood Skeleton pledges its loyalty, the mining-savvy goblins present her with treasures, and there are succubi, demon wolves, trolls...

While the Demon King sleeps soundly, An Ran, a human, gradually becomes a leader among the demons, with everyone answering her call.

Theme: Stay positive no matter where you are.
