1. Ye Xing transmigrates into a world where myriad races stand side by side.

Five thousand years ago, the White Tower, an absolute defense, descended upon every advanced planet, forcing players of every race to log in.

Three hundred years ago, Blue Star successfully advanced in rank and joined the card game of myriad races.

2. In the Card Game World, players face off, and victory or defeat determines wealth and fate. Each match they win earns them generous rewards.

At the end of each season, the races compete on the grand board. The higher a race ranks, the more resources it receives. The race with the lowest total score is punished.

As countless spectators cheer them on, the players have only one goal: victory!

3. On the championship battlefield, the human team enters in black and red battle robes. Compared to the mechanical lifeforms, ascended consciousnesses, and undying long-lived races, humans look harmless and weak.

But when blue light floods the arena, a pale young man at its center reveals his deck, and the myriad races erupt in an uproar.

Facing an unstoppable tide of machines, a golden light shoots into the sky. The Buddha, eyes half closed as though admiring a flower, presses down with one palm. A vast, boundless mountain appears beneath his five fingers.

Character Card: Tathagata Buddha.

A mountain-sized fist crashes down from a giant of stone. The scholar in green robes neither dodges nor retreats. As rivers pour down and rain curtains the sky, a spirit butterfly alights on his fingertip. He remains unharmed.

Skill: Zhuang Zhou's Butterfly Dream.

The formation board, carved with intricate patterns, turns and connects with the stars. Violent energy gathers in each one: heavenly annihilation, earth splitting, roaring winds, ice...

The genius whose elemental deck has been thoroughly countered cries out in indignation: "Referee, someone's cheating!"

At the referee's question, Ye Xing slowly opens his hand. A golden card floats quietly in the air. His voice is cool and clear. "Can you announce the result now?"

Field Card: Ten Absolute Formation.

Having only one card, of course, isn't against the rules.

Today, humanity is crowned king.

[Beast Taming] The Coach Is a Force to Be Reckoned With: Blurb

Xu Lin transmigrates into a Beast Taming world.

Here, humans and "little spirits" live in harmony. Spirit battles are popular around the globe, and countless Beast Tamers and clubs of all sizes have sprung up.

Xu Lin, who won championships in his previous life: Become a Beast Taming master, then reach the top of the world, right? I know this plot!

※

The good news is that Xu Lin gets a golden finger when he transmigrates.

The bad news is that it's a spirit battle coaching System.

Xu Lin: That's fine, I guess?

He originally planned to become a master first, then come back and milk the System for all it was worth. But he hadn't counted on this

System: According to the program, if you don't complete the task within a month, we'll both self-destruct.

Xu Lin: I die too?

System: Yes. We both die.

Xu Lin: Have you ever seen a club coach who's only twenty?

※

With the deadline looming, Xu Lin finally lands a job.

But facing the first-team players, a bunch of "old, weak, sick, and disabled" cases, Xu Lin, the Starfire Club's all-around, insanely confident head coach, takes a deep breath and rolls up his sleeves. "It's okay. They're still salvageable."

"The little skylark still hasn't evolved? Just give it a Fire Mushroom."

"The other team are great at picking you off one at a time. Why don't you stick together?"

"Still not convinced? Fine, let's have a match."

Under the stunned gaze of the spectators, Starfire's rickety, bug-ridden battle wagon finally gets moving.

※

In the S-Rank Pinnacle League, Starfire Club and the five-time champion Lionheart Club reach the deciding match.

The enormous stadium is packed. Spectators argue over whether the dark horse will pull off a miracle and claim the title, or the five-time champions will extend their legacy with a sixth win.

But Starfire Club has no substitute players left. What now?

Then they see that young figure on the field.

"What? The head coach is warming up!"

On the winners' podium, Xu Lin holds up the championship trophy and smiles modestly. "The future of the league belongs to you."

*Inspired by various Pokemon-style spirit battle games.

Upcoming novel: Survival in the Black Mist: Building the Ultimate Safehouse. Blurb:

After transmigrating, Su Li opens his eyes to find himself lying in the wilderness, with a terrifying ligature mark around his neck.

And that isn't the only thing going wrong from the start. In the distance, a towering wall of black mist rolls toward him from every direction. Beneath the mist, eerie shadows flicker and hunt for prey.

The only weapon Su Li can find is an ordinary wooden stick.

At the critical moment, Su Li awakens a talent and binds the [Blueprint System]. Countless building blueprints unfold before him, from [Shelter], [Farmland], and [Watchtower] to [Ten-Thousand-Mile Wall], [Shennong Altar], and [Houyi's Bow]...

As long as he has enough "resources," he can build and upgrade them one by one.

Su Li clenches his fists. Given a second chance at life, he only wants to live well.

To do that, he'll build the safest refuge in this wasteland.

Su Li originally only wanted to build an impregnable safehouse. But as he saved more and more people and his territory grew, countless ordinary people found shelter under his protection and no longer had to wander in hardship. Happiness returned to their faces.

At some point, the small frontier town became the City of Hope that everyone dreamed of, and its lord, Su Li, became the hope that lit up their endless night.

The Mist Wraiths finally met their sternest father.

When the Mist Wraith King led a million elite troops to slaughter all humanity, they hadn't even had time to make out the wall stretching for thousands of miles before countless shells rained down from the sky and crushed them with a technological advantage beyond their dimension.

Everything fell silent. The elite troops were wiped out. The dying Mist Wraith King looked on in disbelief through the smoke.

On the wall, Su Li gazed back at the Mist Wraith King. After a moment, Su Li slowly put away the divine weapon he hadn't even used.

The final boss was that easy?

Theme: Never give up.
