A quick recommendation for my upcoming novel, "Buy the Entire Universe!" The synopsis is at the very bottom. Have a look if you're interested~
[Wasteland + natural disasters + cyberpunk + a touch of Lovecraftian horror + biological modification]
Rong Yao is playing a game called [Earth Online].
In [Earth Online], a player's starting point and identity are completely random. Players can only explore this world on their own, where natural disasters run rampant and wasteland monsters lie in wait, and try to find a way to survive.
Rong Yao gets an utterly disastrous start and dies not long after logging in.
Rong Yao: ...Can I choose the difficulty?
Huh? I can't? Then I'm done playing!
But just as she tries to exit the game, she discovers that the logout button has disappeared.
The System insists she must achieve the true ending and complete every side quest before she can log out!!!
From then on, she has no choice but to start a game that spans multiple playthroughs, all for the sake of achieving the best possible ending across every route.
Death isn't the end. Every time a run ends, it starts over from the beginning. Across this timeline that has been restarted countless times, she makes all kinds of efforts and attempts.
In the scorching heat of [The Furnace], she blazes a path to survival for humanity. Aboard the massive ship in [The Islet], she raises the call to revolt, fighting against the whispers from the deep. At [The Forest House], she witnesses the horrors of biological modification, and in the end, she awakens the people who willingly left their minds to slumber in [The Eternal Kingdom].
Across all these playthroughs, she keeps saving a world destroyed by the wasteland and natural disasters, only to discover that something more terrifying than the monsters is the blade hidden within humanity itself.
The factions from every region harbor their own ulterior motives. At the card table of the [Assembly of Nations], they play their most powerful cards and stake the chips that will decide humanity's fate.
She goes from an unknown nobody to a major bargaining chip, then is invited to take a seat at the table.
When the next playthrough begins, Rong Yao has had enough.
She stands before the [Assembly of Nations], sneers, and flips the table.
-- Humanity doesn't need a "council" of backroom scheming and infighting. All it needs is one strongest "ruler."
[Updating character information...]
[Welcome to Earth Online, "Ruler." ]
[We look forward to seeing you lead humanity in raising the banner of war against the wasteland, sounding the horn of victory, and ending the turmoil of the old era.]
[I await your arrival in the new era.]
-------------Upcoming novel below-------------
"Buy the Entire Universe!"
Qin Ran became a space drifter after the resources on her home planet ran out.
After drifting through space for more than a dozen cosmic years, she finally found a job at a cosmic resource recycling company that could barely keep her fed. She had neither a degree recognized by the cosmos nor a home planet.
The HR representative's honeyed words clouded her judgment. Dreaming of a wonderful future, she signed a contract that would cost her a fortune in penalties if she broke it.
She realized something was wrong as soon as she started the job.
There was no onboarding. The employee gear was shoddy. The company took no responsibility for injuries and deaths. There was no guaranteed base salary. The planets she was sent to recycle were full of danger. Her coworkers would stab her in the back and steal her things...
After she'd been robbed of her haul by a temporary teammate for the 203rd time, then left alone on a spaceship to face an ancient building with six eyes fixed on her, Qin Ran finally snapped.
From now on! She would become a ruthless resource-stealing machine!
She would get promoted! Get a raise! Make everyone who had betrayed her regret ever crossing her!
And while she was at it, she'd buy the entire company and make the whole universe pay her resource tax!!!
Qin Ran, renowned philanthropist throughout the universe, chairwoman of the Cosmic Resource Recycling Company, investor in the Planetary Renewal Project...
Behind all those titles lies an immense fortune: she controls 90 percent of the universe's renewable resources, and massive resource tax payments pour into her pockets every cosmic day.
Some people curse her day after day for ten years because they can't afford the resource tax. Others praise her because the planetary renewal project saved their worlds.
A reporter from the Cosmic Truth Society interviews her: "Ms. Qin, what do you think of these mixed opinions, both praise and criticism?"
Qin Ran looks up from an account number so long it could rival a planet's identification number, and says,
"Honestly, I didn't think that far ahead. I just wanted to be a down-to-earth rich woman."
Then she gives her boss a hard kick in the butt.
Oh, and that shady HR representative too.
...And the coworkers who stabbed me in the back. (Smiles.)
Theme: The hymn of humanity is a hymn of courage.
I have read the introductions written by the author of all four books. If you open a new book, it is just a personal hobby. I am more looking forward to "Buy the Whole Universe", but no matter which book you open, it will be good. A good work can bring people a wonderful experience. The book you are currently writing is really beautiful. Your writing style and world view are very good. I hope the author will get better and better, and I hope your work can be seen by more people 🎆
This article is very good, and I am happy to see that the author hopes to start a new article. I hope the author can take care of himself while balancing writing and life. Waiting slowly, as a loyal reader, I am looking forward to witnessing Rong Yao's growth with the author, to see her perseverance in such an environment, and her fuller appearance. Of course, there is also a merciless request. When you, the author, decide not to update this story, please also give your character a story summary to bring her to an end. I hope the author can live a smooth life and create freely
You are great. I bought Jinjiang coins for the first time because of your book. I really like the characters in this book you wrote and the world view you constructed. Creation is a long and boring process. Only love can continue to temper people as creators and keep writing. I can understand the mentality of working as a working person. Full-time writers really face countless unknown risks, especially in the current environment. I can also understand that after such a long break, I need to re-recognize myself, reconnect with the world, and reconnect with the characters in the book. It doesn't matter, you have to believe that the article you wrote is really good and can attract a lot of viewers who like it. The completion of a good book requires not only the love of the author, but also the feedback of readers to help it grow. If you think about it, you haven't given up, you just stopped because of various things. Since you are willing to write this story and build a larger world, loyal readers (similar to me) will always accompany you to see how Rong Yao moves forward in the world step by step. I'm looking forward to your next stories. If one day you decide not to update, it doesn't matter. You can just write a story and explain it. It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. Just enrich your material world first. Although I look forward to your updates, I will not rush for them. Because good things have to wait, and it is also a surprise to open the article and see updates during the long wait.
I think this setting is very interesting I haven't watched it yet. It's all settled (proud) [Let me be healthy] 😭 Why don't you update? I hope you can update if I tie it up 🥺
The author hasn't updated for a long time 😭
Boss, can you please keep this update speed? I really, really like it, and I am willing to give you all the Jinjiang coins [EYE][EYE]
Come on, madam, here's another 6,000-word update 🐶
Very good, I was mentally prepared and didn't take the knife. I am no longer the me before, I am the advanced me! 🐶
When will the author update?
Teacher, you finally updated 💪
