[The confirmed blurb is as follows. The main text is empty and the full work is still being revised. You can follow it as a pre-release while waiting for the story to be written.]
After Wen Su went out to "try his luck," he was reborn in another world as a rare magical species: an elf.
Just as he successfully enrolled in a magic academy, earned the title of professor of potion-making, and decided he was the anime protagonist about to reach the pinnacle of life, the world's consciousness appeared
He wasn't the protagonist. He was an NPC in a game world, and now the world was overrun by monsters and ravaged by plague due to a virus invasion.
Factions were splitting apart on the game forums, fans of different characters were arguing, and popularity was plummeting, sustained only by the game's gorgeous art. New games were poised to take its place, and the entire world was about to be destroyed.
Dear player, you have died in the real world and can only live in the game world. The game world is now losing popularity and has been invaded by a virus. The game company does not even intend to preserve the basic data and is preparing to abandon this game world. You are the only hope of saving this game.
Please complete the surveys on time, flesh out the characters' personalities, and advance the game's progress. Save the world.
Wen Su: ...NPCs have to save the world too?
All right, let's see what these surveys are about
[Is this your first time playing this game? Have you played any similar games? Please give examples.]
[What kind of game did you play the most in the year before you transmigrated? For example...]
[How would you rate the player experience in version 2.0? Please choose: very easy, easy, moderate, difficult, very difficult, ]
[Please describe Paladin Belade's reaction when you corner him.]
[Please describe the expression on impoverished student Jian's face when you trample him underfoot.]
[Please create an iconic scene of Archmage Cyril losing control of his magic.]
[Please evaluate the popular characters you have encountered. Which popular character would you most like to discipline?]
Wen Su: ????
Am I even qualified to discipline and evaluate these ridiculously powerful popular characters???
*
Everyone knew the world was about to collapse, that everything would soon be destroyed and plunge into an abyss beyond salvation.
Until that elf teacher appeared, powerful and cold, he only acknowledged those who had risen to the very top of the pyramid. He wielded the world's most powerful forbidden magic, taught potion-making purely out of interest, and cruelly controlled the emotions of the academy's most elite students.
Usually relying on his looks to bluff his way through, eliminating viruses, advancing events, and drawing out more emotions from the popular characters, Wen Su put on an unbothered expression [while actually trembling]: Little Brain, why do I feel like something's not right?
Game AI [out of its mind]: Yes, your legend is everywhere. Even the lone wolf yearns to lick* your wings. You will be the greatest elven scholar in the history of the game! The new kingdom will be honored to bear your name!
Wen Su: ?
Wait a minute. What are they going to do to my wings??
#The players who once mocked this game's idiotic mechanics, then got tormented until they were thoroughly broken, provide the background commentary: Who keeps selecting "very easy" on every survey?!#
Theme: Believe that hard work will lead to good results. You have to try before you can know.

I... Don't want to change it...
Ugh, this is so bad! But I love them all, I love sweet, slice-of-life stories and heartwarming ones. I was reading the author's previous books, and I even followed the serialization on Orca for a while. I haven't had time to read it since, but I'm still waiting for Orca to finish so I can read it all at once. I haven't been on JJ much lately, I'll catch up on Orca when I have time.
Oh, will the copywriting content change too? [Hugging someone]
Was that king considered good or bad? Is that little cloak really that powerful?! The archangel whittled down his health bar for ages, and one hit took away a quarter of it. Under Liang Jingjing's coercion, Longlong willingly becomes the evil dragon.
Ahhhhh, this line really resonates with me!
Hugs to the teacher! If you're really too tired, you can take a break. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Have a happy time eating mooncakes today!
Wow, it looks so much better after the changes! Hahaha, poisonous mushrooms are so interesting! Protect our golden mushroom. Great, great! The previous multiplayer version made me very uneasy, especially the one who set the mountain on fire. Now it's all good. We've saved a forest, and there's only one silly player, Husky. It's like kicking out the bad guy and keeping the good one. Thumbs up! I love it! 🎉💪💪 Waiting for the update on the 14th!
I feel that changing it to a full version of The Fourth Calamity doesn't quite capture the essence. I'll stick with an indie game, changing the collective consciousness of the players to a single, real player, and adding countless cloned worlds. This time, I'll write it more clearly so most people can understand, keeping it basically the same as the first version. I'll finish revising it soon and start updating rapidly tomorrow.
There's nothing here, sob sob sob
The little elf's suffering has finally come to an end! 🥺
