When the Supernatural Descended, the Ghost Stories Owed Me 800 Million

This story is entirely fictional and set in an imagined future world. Please don't conflate it with reality. The clock strikes twelve, and the world-wide beta test begins. Ordinary people from the real world open their eyes to find themselves transmigrated to a new world overrun by the bizarre. It is filled with people who have awakened supernatural abilities, and terrifying anomalous entities that make everyone shudder to speak of them. The transmigrators gain the right to travel regularly between the two worlds, while also bringing the new world's bizarre entities and urban legends into the real world. The good news: Shu Yan transmigrated too, and he's among the first batch of beta testers, giving him a head start. The bad news: He's now the vanguard of a suicide squad entering a forbidden zone full of anomalous entities. Maybe the head start just means he'll die first and be reborn first. But it doesn't matter. Shu Yan is such a shameless oddball that even the anomalous entities want to swear at him. He's quick-witted, silver-tongued, and thinks in strange ways. He not only scams rivals and enemies, but even manages to con the anomalous entities into owing him 800 million and working 996 to pay it off. His differentiation skill, [We're All on the Same Side], lets him use any urban legend he solves. He can make up an identity for the entity and send it into human society. Now there's an idea! From then on, the anomalous entities become his secret identities: [Qian Haoduo, a rich young master from a powerful family who spends money like water and does nothing all day] [Jia Mazai, a minor lackey at the Divine Tribunal] [Li Ergou, a military strategist in the army] And that's not all: there's Wang Daoba, who buys and sells goods on the black market, and Zhen Heidian, who runs a safe house in the forbidden zone, among others... With his little anomalous minions funneling money to him, Shu Yan makes a fortune traveling between the two worlds. But one day, when he plans to reclaim his anomalous entities and run, he realizes... Wait, is something wrong? A reputation can be good or bad. That was then. Now he's a freak. The rich young master who used to lounge around decides his allowance isn't enough, so he takes out his father and becomes a tycoon. The Divine Tribunal's minor lackey is mistaken for a hidden NPC, a humble master pretending to be a nobody, and somehow rises to a high position. The military strategist becomes an otherworldly Jia Xu because his advice to the governor is so underhanded. The governor's most frequent remark is, “I may not use this kid myself, but I absolutely can't let him go work for the enemy.” Wang Daoba of the black market talks so much nonsense that he's convinced everyone he is the mastermind's father. Now the mastermind is coming after him... And Zhen Heidian, who runs a safe house in the forbidden zone, has had his identity exposed. Everyone says the safe house is run by the Lord of Urban Legends, and that he was fishing for people just to enforce the law on them! Shu Yan: “...” The good news: Every anomalous entity under his control makes money. The bad news: If things go well, he and his anomalous entities are eight masters' servants, earning eight cents. If everything goes wrong, he's... the plaything of eight families. One-on-one romance. The top is good at convincing himself of things and stubbornly refuses to admit it, while the bottom is a decent person with a moral compass, though don't ask him anything, he's just shameless and has no manners. My next novel will be My DNA Is Telling Me to Usurp the Throne. Yue Xiao is an outstanding employee in the Double Agent Division of the Quick Transmigration Department. Thanks to his excellent performance, the Tool Person Division has taken him on. The System assigned to him is a new recruit, thrilled to think it can cling to Yue Xiao and reach the peak of life. Then the first world goes wrong. System: This is a domineering CEO romance with forced love, featuring the bottom running away and the top chasing him until he can't escape. You're the scum top's butler, the number-one tool person in the book. You must do your job well and ensure the leads live happily ever after. Yue Xiao gets it immediately. Six months later, Yue Xiao successfully takes over the scum top's company, holding the emperor hostage to control the lords. As for the top and bottom, he has indeed locked them in a mansion, where they've stayed together day and night, year after year. System: ... Yue Xiao: Don't rush me. Once I've successfully usurped the throne, I can complete every mission with a hundred percent success rate! That's more or less the premise. I'll revise the blurb before publication. Theme: In the end, you've got to rely on yourself!
