At This Moment, I Am the King [Western Fantasy]

[Bonus chapters ongoing. Please leave a five-star review T^T. My next novel, "I Awakened the Spiritual Qi Revival", is also open for follows, please add it to your list OVO]

On his eighteenth birthday, Lu Yi unexpectedly transmigrated into a novel called "The Holy Son of Light".

The bad news: he'd become a villainous male supporting character who had nothing but good looks.

The good news: he was bound to the “At This Moment, I Am the King” System.

The “At This Moment, I Am the King” System's activation condition: when it detects that the Host is being maliciously provoked, it automatically charges up and generates a face-slapping attack that changes the target's setting.

At the Divine Baptism, the original host's green-tea younger brother leaned close to his ear and sneered maliciously. “A godforsaken like you still thinks the gods will take pity on you? I suggest you leave while you can, before you become a laughingstock across the continent!”

[Ding-dong! Malice level off the charts. Maximum counterattack charged. Setting acquired: [The Gods' Favor], effective immediately!!]

In the Eternal Baptismal Temple, where light and darkness intertwined, a white dove landed on the clasped fingertips of a golden-haired youth.

The twelve divine pillars blazed with unprecedented radiance. Heavenly music drifted in from the horizon, proclaiming the gods' joy.

The chief of the gods, the God of Light, issued a divine oracle

“He belongs to the light, and shall bask in endless glory.”

The academy tournament.

Canaan's neat red hair stood straight up after he was electrocuted. Seeing that only one person and one cat remained on his side, he wanted to throw his head back and howl.

Cat Lu Yi: “Meow meow meow!!”

Clinging to his last sliver of hope, Canaan put on an impromptu demonstration of how to draw a curse-breaking array by hand.

“Boss! It's all yours!!”

A massive wind blade sent Canaan flying off the arena. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black.

He forced his eyes open. In his bloodshot vision, the pure white holy light was blinding.

The cat had vanished. A six-winged angel beat its wings, its gaze sharp. Canaan had only ever seen such powerful light magic in the Pope.

Before passing out, Canaan had just one thought left.

This one's in the bag.

At first, Lu Yi thought he was following an ordinary story of a villainous male supporting character redeeming himself and making a comeback.

But as his followers multiplied and his fame spread farther and farther, Lu Yi couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

Lu Yi: 857, tell me honestly. What are we here to do?

But the System still acted like a shameless idiot who wouldn't know shame if it boiled him alive.

It wasn't until he was crowned with royal authority and power in his hands that Lu Yi suddenly understood.

Was he actually following a script to rule the entire continent?!

[Ding-dong! The “At This Moment, I Am the King” System has officially launched!]

*Because you are the abandoned, unknown master of the world, and I am the one chosen by the world's will, the most unshakable bedrock beneath your throne.

[Reader's Guide]

1. Not a typical Western fantasy. A hodgepodge with a ton of original worldbuilding.

Note: All backgrounds, settings, worlds, countries, locations, and characters in this story are fictional, with no real-life models or references. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Keywords: [Fantasy races] [Gods] [Magic academy] [Noble families and kings] [System] [Secret identity]

I was desperate for something to read, so I made this to please myself.

You don't have to like it, but please don't hurt me Orz

2. My take on a BKing, universally adored protagonist: deliberately cringe, gloriously over-the-top.

3. Peace & loveeeeee~

4. The love interest is a background character, the love interest is a background character, the love interest is a background character.

5. Neither the protagonist nor the supporting characters are perfect. Both good and bad supporting characters may have flaws worth criticizing. A character's values don't represent the author's, and a character's actions don't mean the author endorses them in full. The worldbuilding is extremely limited and non-objective. No moral judgments, and don't try to read some grand message into it!!!

6. The character art was commissioned and fully drawn by the artist, with process videos and records to prove it. Please don't baselessly accuse it of being AI-generated! That's disrespectful to both the artist and me.

"I Awakened the Spiritual Qi Revival"

After finally reaching an agreement with the Main God and retiring from the infinite worlds, Lu Wenxi hadn't even enjoyed more than a few peaceful days of retirement before discovering in horror that the world had changed. Familiar faces came knocking from all kinds of worlds.

A floating island that appeared out of nowhere brought a silent love back into the sunlight.

A mermaid's lament set the internet ablaze and drew enormous attention.

Even the underlings he'd taken in during his chuunibyou phase came crying and pleading to find him.

Countless pairs of eyes secretly fixed on him like lurking serpents and beasts.

The worlds were beginning to merge.

Lu Wenxi: Main God, get out here and take your beating!

What happened to the easygoing, lie-flat life you promised me?

Lu Wenxi could smell trouble coming!

*

The Special Affairs Administration of Shuilan Nation had once been an utterly ordinary retirement department.

That is, until the day spiritual qi revival began.

As they struggled to bring order to the industry, they noticed one figure repeatedly appearing behind every strange incident.

At first, they thought he was a pampered nobleman's wife who'd lived for a thousand years. Later, they discovered that his relationship with merfolk seemed complicated too, and that the madmen who left them helpless behaved like house-trained, loyal dogs in his presence...

Any disaster-level incident became child's play in his hands.

Yet there was no way to explain how effortlessly he handled everything!

Only when they heard taskers of unknown origin call him “Boss” did they finally realize that this was the real big shot.

Special Affairs Administration: Wuwuwu, please join us! Shuilan needs you, the world needs you!

Lu Wenxi, the culprit behind it all: ? All right.

Who knows how many years into the Infinite Era.

For the first time, the all-powerful Main God System crashed.

The first SSS-rank mission in history appeared: resolve the world bug caused by the legendary figure codenamed A001, [Lu Wenxi].

And the reward for this mission was: escape from the infinite worlds.

Theme: Humanity's song of praise is eternal only through love and courage.
