The Nobody Rose to Power by Doing Nothing [Transmigrating Into a Game]

Xu Cong An's overseas account was hacked. When he got it back, he found some unfamiliar browsing history on it.

Strangely, the bizarre browsing history kept growing even after he recovered the account, as if someone else were using it too.

What's it like to be forced to share an account with a stranger to get around the internet firewall?

The other person is a model of academic integrity, with a browsing history full of papers and research. I, on the other hand, have no ambition and spend all day on photography and entertainment, oh, and accidentally clicked on some porn ads.

Xu Cong An had just closed an ad he'd accidentally opened on his phone when he suddenly heard a notification. He opened the account's chat window. The message was from "Anonymous."

[Traveler]: ...

Looking at the different times displayed on the screen, they both fell silent. They were sharing an account across different timelines!

Even after realizing they were sharing an account across different timelines, the other person kept posting as usual. Chen Ming Zhe often saw their posts in his recommendations.

The other person was a travel blogger who loved playing "prophet" in their spare time, using photography stories to hint at other people's futures...

At midnight, Chen Ming Zhe calmly and matter-of-factly read the other person's newly posted work, which was visible only to the account owner.

The latest photographic piece quoted The Little Prince to tell an ethereal "fairy tale."

[Did you come from another planet?]

[And so I met the little prince]

[The tragedy of the baobab trees]

[If you walk straight ahead, you won't get very far]

[...]

[But sadly, I can't see the sheep through the box]

[Please draw me a sheep]

After reading the last line, Chen Ming Zhe considerately typed into the chat.

[Traveler]: Is there something you regret from the past that you want to make up for?

The other person paused for a few seconds before replying.

[Traveler]: If you can, could you bring a bouquet of flowers to a graveyard for me?

[Traveler]: Pick any kind of flowers you like. I'll send you the exact address later.

When Chen Ming Zhe went to the graveyard as requested, he happened to discover that he had another name: Chen Bu Yang, the real young master of a prestigious family who had gone missing years ago.

[Traveler]: I delivered the flowers.

[Traveler]: Thanks!

[Traveler]: How did you know?

[Traveler]: Because... you're chatting with a ghost!

Xu Cong An's fate split apart when he transmigrated into the game Book of the Dead.

He's number one on the survival rankings, but this instance is an abandoned worldline. He lives in someone else's past life, can't find the quest NPCs, and is trapped in a dead end...

Just as Xu Cong An decides to take things as they come and laze around, he finds a way out of his predicament.

Aloof, restrained gong x clear-headed shou

This novel is also known as Survival Guide to Wandering Through a Shura Field. The shou is a very free-spirited person.

P.S. 1. [Transmigration into a game + pseudo transmigration into a book + sharing an account across timelines + prophetic warnings + photography + wandering through a Shura field + real and fake young master + overlapping reality and illusion]

2. After the worldline restarts, the shou lives in the abandoned past-life timeline, while the gong is in the present-day timeline. They'll meet.

3. "Please draw me a sheep" is a little like wishing on Aladdin's lamp. You have to actively seek out the lamp before you can make a wish. The idea is that a story only begins when you take the initiative. Younger gong, happy ending.

4. This is the first, abridged version of the blurb and may be revised. Screenshotted on 2024.6.15.

5. You can read this alongside the neighboring novel The Campus Novel Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Laze Around. They're companion stories, and this blurb contains a major spoiler.

6. When the gong and shou chat on their shared account, the gong is [Traveler] and the shou is [Traveler]. Campus setting, two top students. The gong loves cats, and the shou's side job is travel blogging.
