After Everyone Mistook Me for a God

New story now available: "I'm Really a Tyrant!!" After transmigrating, Li Qige opened his eyes to find himself standing atop a gigantic altar. Below him, people in black robes raised their arms and shouted with feverish, twisted fervor: "O Divine One!" Li Qige, utterly bewildered: "..." Did I stumble into some kind of religious service?!! = Li Qige left the altar and, following the System's directions, made his way to Central Academy. There were lots and lots of geniuses there, especially among the very best. For them, being a genius was only the admission requirement. [So you're going to get me killed, System!] The System had given him such an absurdly advanced cheat that Li Qige found himself among the elite, and he was near tears. The challenge system at Central Academy made every step feel like walking on thin ice. [I'm just a weak little nobody.] To keep those people from targeting him and beating him to a pulp, Li Qige spent more than four years keeping to himself. But no matter how quickly he escaped after class, certain people always managed to find him and say cryptic things. [What am I supposed to do?] Li Qige felt utterly miserable. The System knew the truth and wanted to say something, but in the end chose to keep quiet and play dumb. Until Li Qige couldn't take it anymore and gathered them all together to settle things once and for all. But he never expected that their eyes had already grown fervent. These people, who were all darlings of heaven out in the world, ended up kneeling on one knee and saying they were willing to give their lives for him. Li Qige: ... [So what kind of new prank is this?] == Every proud genius who enters Central Academy must face three trials. The first is being taught a lesson by the upperclassmen: Don't bother that legendary senior, Li. The second is refusing to back down and challenging Senior Li to a duel, only to be beaten up by the upperclassmen and even their own classmates before they can lay eyes on him, as soon as the upperclassmen hear about it. The third is becoming a fan of Senior Li, then suffering the lovesickness of not being able to see him every day. When a freshman who has already endured all three trials becomes a senior, and sees the new freshmen enter Central Academy full of pride, he knows: The cycle will begin again. == When Li Qige first enrolled, some people said he was putting on an act. He was powerful and mysterious, a flower on a high peak everyone wanted to pull down. But as time went by, nobody said those things anymore. Because they came to understand one thing. Some people can only be pursued by everyone. Even walking alongside them would be a disgrace. == Reader's guide 1. This is a misinterpretation story. The author likes watching the protagonist act like a total badass. The protagonist really is strong, he just doesn't know it, so he tends to rely on his brains. 2. This story has an ensemble cast, mainly to show how awesome the protagonist is from different angles, so the point of view will sometimes switch. 3. The protagonist has a bunch of one-sided crushes on him. Both the main story and extras have open endings. Another upcoming story: "After I Lost My Memory, My Old Flame Came Knocking," a sickly top with a hidden identity, romance-focused. "They All Say I Rose to Power on My Looks," a manipulative, universally adored top who only loves power, with a progression-focused plot. Theme: Don't underestimate yourself. You might be someone's idea of a big shot.
