A Witch's Practical Guide to Surviving in Another World

You come from another world. In this game, you'll play an apprentice witch who has just graduated from a university of magic, embarking on a fantastical journey to explore the unknown and mysterious. Choose a forest you like and build your own magical garden. Along the way, tend to your plants and talk to frogs to learn tomorrow's weather. You can also get guidance by attending a snake's symphony performance, or buy medicinal herbs at the salamander hospital. Of course, don't forget to brew incense and potions to increase your magic and perfect your divination skills. Villagers who have lost their way may run into you in the forest. They'll ask you to help drive out werewolves, liches, vampires, or a dragon that has lost its way. They may also bring you romantic troubles or dreams of wealth. Listen to their concerns and help them out. You may meet other witches, alchemists, and goblins while exploring the forest, and you can try to win them over. As your affection levels rise, you'll have the chance to be invited to different witches' tea parties, obtain alchemy scrolls, and unlock the mysterious goblin shop. Oh, and don't forget the most important thing: you can turn into a cat, a beautiful black cat. ↑ The above is the beginner's guide to the witch farming game Vega transmigrated into. Game genres: Cozy, daily life, fantasy. Vega, who majored in agricultural science, consoles herself that at least her field is relevant. However, when she transmigrated, a massive, irreversible bug occurred in the game world. The first two genre tags were twisted into unreadable gibberish, and the whole tone took a sharp turn for the worse. "Apprentice witch Vega Lin has used magic on commoners without authorization, in violation of the relevant provisions of the Great Book of Magic. The tribunal hereby rules that Vega Lin be stripped of all legal status and sentenced to 3,876 years of imprisonment." "Note: Your sentence may be commuted through labor. Miss, you'll need to work here for 40 years before you can move on to the next place." Looking at the shackles on her hands, standing in a filthy, chaotic penal farm while gaunt, emaciated convicts stared at her, Vega took a deep breath. Fine. Great. Just wonderful. Cozy daily-life farming had turned into extreme-survival farming. But so what? Can't she just turn the first two tags back and manually fix the world's bug? The witch said, "I want a peaceful life." Then she'd take out the warden and make the overcrowded penal farm her own. The witch said, "I want an ordinary life." Then she'd lease the farm to the convicts, distribute land, reform agriculture, teach them to grow crops, and make sure everyone had enough to eat. The witch said, "I want freedom." Then she'd topple the tribunal and make flowers of magic bloom across the entire continent! Many years later, when goblins danced with dragons, salamanders took up the conductor's baton, and frogs stood atop glowing trees to sing the weather... The poor, having fought their way through mountains of corpses, donned the wizard's robes that symbolized power, raised their staffs, and stood at the top of the world to swear: "For Miss Witch!" Dear readers, my next book will be How to Survive the Vampire Purge. The blurb is below. If you're interested, please check it out in my author profile. Thank you so much! Blurb: Question: What's the thing you regret most in your life? Lyle: Choosing the survivor faction before transmigrating into this escape game. Beneath the dazzling golden sunlight, the archbishop raises both hands. "Give thanks to our Lord! We have completely wiped out the last vampire family! Not one survived!" Behind him, twelve gallows slowly rise. The vampires scorched by the sunlight spontaneously combust. The flames roar like a song, and the people gathered in the square erupt in cheers like crashing waves. [System check: Game setting loaded] [Setting: A fantastical world with a medieval framework] "But..." The archbishop lowers his hands, his voice hoarse and mysterious. "I still see ill omens ahead. Shadows gather, and evil roams among us, wrapped in darkness. The vampires may not be entirely exterminated! We are still in danger!" An impassioned voice rings out from below. "Find them! Kill them!" Those words set off the crowd in the square. Countless people wave their fists and shout, "Find them! Kill them! Kill them! Kill every bloodsucking monster!" [System check: The game's hunter faction has been activated] [Hunters: All of humanity] Blue and purple text flashes before her eyes and vanishes. In a carriage at the edge of the square, Lyle glares in terror and hurriedly pulls on her black lace gloves. -- To cover the wounds just inflicted by the scorching sunlight. [System check: The game's survivor faction has been activated] [Survivor: Lyle Gangrel] [Helpful reminder: The factions are irreconcilable. There can be no compromise or defection. As the last vampire, do your best to survive and clear the game in one life.] [Otherwise, your soul and body will be completely annihilated in this other world.] Lyle has clinical experience but has never played a survival game. Her vision goes black! But... wait! She suddenly remembers that this is a medieval setting. The Middle Ages! What's the most famous thing about that dark age? The Church's ideological oppression, filthy living conditions, and absurd bloodletting and amputation treatments! As luck would have it, the character card she drew is the widow of a renowned doctor who recently died in the central city. Lyle, from a family of doctors, with five years in emergency medicine and a physician's career, trembles as she grips the velvet armrest, feeling she can still save this situation! Question: If you're transmigrated as the last vampire on the continent, how do you survive humanity's vampire purge? Lyle: Open a hospital and prepare a few giant wooden barrels. Then I get an all-you-can-eat buffet. Theme: Break through constraints and uphold an unyielding spirit in adversity
