The Wasteland's Greatest Puppeteer

[Feel-good power fantasy + supernatural abilities + strong female lead + power progression + wasteland]

Bai Xing is a corpse collector in the wasteland, living at the very bottom and doing the dirtiest, most thankless work.

The gangs treat her like a beast of burden, squeezing every last bit of value out of her. The ability users see her as an insect they can crush with a single gesture.

Until the day she awakens her ability:

Enemies she kills become puppets under her control.

[Puppet: Thunder God. Lightning, at your command.]

[Puppet: Wind Envoy. Tornadoes, yours to control.]

The abilities the puppets had in life are all hers to use, and they can be upgraded to become even stronger.

The powerful proclaim themselves gods, ruling the wasteland through fear and violence.

When Bai Xing enters the territory of the “gods,”

high-level ability users appear one after another, sneering as they surround her.

“You came here to defy us all by yourself?”

Bai Xing casually waves her hand. A sea of puppets emerges behind her, arranged in battle formation, blotting out the sky. Nearly every one of them is S-rank.

“I alone am an army.”

The head of the new government and a renowned sociologist says of her:

“Our children can run in the sunlight instead of crawling in chains only because she remade the world with fire and sword.”

1. The heroine is calm, brave, and morally upright, and makes decisive kills. She’s brilliant throughout.

2. Little romance

Check out my upcoming novel: Extreme Cold Disaster: Opening a Gacha Shop~

Bai Ye, the owner of a little gacha shop, transmigrates with the entire shop to a world gripped by an extreme cold disaster. Fortunately, the shop has mutated.

An extreme cold disaster descends, monsters run rampant, and the world freezes over.

Supplies run low, food is scarce, the ground freezes solid, and growing crops becomes impossible. People struggle to survive by taking risks, stockpiling, and fighting over what they can get.

Until one day, someone discovers a strange gacha shop.

Its capsules can contain fire starters, lumber, canned food, jerky, even fur coats and ice picks. At first, no one believes it, but soon the news spreads through every survivor camp.

People, starving and freezing, swarm the shop, hoping for a capsule that might change their fate.

And the items inside grow stranger and stranger.

Seeds that can grow in extreme cold, miracle medicine that cures severe frostbite and cold-related illness, and gear with an “antifreeze” buff...

With these supplies, survivors farm, fish, and fight monsters, gradually building prosperous bases and rekindling the fires of life in this dead land.

One capsule after another saves countless lives. Before long, people stop calling Bai Ye the “mysterious shopkeeper” and start calling her the “god who saved the world.”
