Great Qin Online

Blurb:

[Highlight: No plagiarism] Short story, not serialized for profit, written quickly, out of character, dark transformation.

You transmigrated to the interstellar age.

The bad news was that you were still an ordinary person. The good news was that not long afterward, a full-dive game launched, set in a world you knew well. You could play a full-dive game! A gamer’s dream come true.

To help the game's AI eliminate any bugs it might have, you tried feeding the AI some strange things as tests, like all kinds of odd bits of knowledge.

The character you fed them to was an evolution-type. He started as a proton, then became Prince Zheng of Qin, then King Zheng of Qin, and finally the UR First Emperor!

You felt a great sense of accomplishment, thinking you had fulfilled a wish from your previous life: the story of how I gave the First Emperor a collection of physical and mental training exercises.

In the interstellar age, the minimum lifespan was five hundred years. I was utterly sincere in my devotion to His Majesty, and proud of it.

As you fulfilled your wish from your previous life, you also waited for the AI to freeze up. The game company offered rewards for bug reports, and this one was especially loaded. Your retirement was taken care of!

Then you waited for another transmigration.

P.S.:

The Young Master Shang from The Legend of Qin: The Nine Songs, the video of the young emperor, and the novel The Qin Empire's thirty-second challenge to resist falling for Zheng-ge: the result of failing.

I don't read the comments, but I still hope you'll be kind. Thanks. You can use your energy to watch the videos instead. I've had them on loop all day and I'm so hooked. The young emperor is truly incredible, and Young Master Shang in white taking off his mask is such an iconic scene. I just want to excitedly kick my legs and run laps. No wonder Zheng-ge is the man who got me hooked from the very first season of The Legend of Qin, even with its animation quality.

Thesis: So what if I give him an elixir of immortality?
