#The World’s Greatest: Yan Yun’s Saber Manual. No risk of losing out, no getting ripped off :D#
01
After an accidental car crash, Yan Yun transmigrated into a martial arts-themed visual novel he’d once played.
He’d spent ages grinding through the game, carefully calculating stats and resetting at every step, determined to get the true ending in a single run.
But after the protagonist was forced to jump off a cliff, the author got writer’s block and never updated the story again.
But... wasn’t something wrong here?!
[Loading most recent save...]
[Third month of the eighteenth year of Jianyuan]
[Character account: Yan Yun (dying) (Jianghu reputation: -100)]
Yan Yun: ???
What’s going on?
02
I transmigrated, but I’m not actually the protagonist... and I’m a villain?
And actually, I didn’t transmigrate into the game, but into a comic with the same name!
Good news: There’s a System.
Bad news: I’m now a martial arts demon, the villain of the story, and everyone wants me dead!
Even worse news: I owe the System 100,000 points!
03
The Greatest Under Heaven is a brand-new comic.
Martial arts mystery, flashy fights, youthful jianghu, and gorgeous artwork: these keywords made the comic an instant hit.
But in the latest installment, the protagonist’s group runs into a young man. His face isn’t shown when he appears, but the panels give him a dramatic close-up.
“Yan Yun’s Saber Manual! Come take a look!”
“Young man, I can tell you have extraordinary bones and are a natural talent for martial arts. I have here a secret manual left behind by Yan Yun himself...”
The forum erupted with complaints, assuming the group had run into a smooth-talking comic relief character.
[Ah, I can already guess where this is going. A classic face-slapping scene.]
[Haha, Yan Yun’s secret manual. I’ll just laugh and say nothing.]
[The manual’s fake, but this panel must mean something...]
[It’s a kitchen knife. What could it possibly mean?]
In the latest installment, the vendor uses a kitchen knife to beat up the challengers until they’re howling.
The young man stands against the wind like a heavenly immortal.
[Holy crap, is that Yan Yun?!]

Not traditional wuxia. Here’s another obscure genre!
Theme: Remember that young people once dreamed of soaring high and promised to be the greatest under heaven
