A Player's Life as a Detective

So transmigrating is actually this easy? Chunshang Jingsuke gazed at the new world. "Host, is it possible that meeting multiple death prerequisites at once while also getting caught in a spatial turbulence isn't exactly easy?" "So where are we going, System?" "Since you've signed the agreement, congratulations on winning the grand prize."

Chunshang Jingsuke stared at the scene before him. As expected, free things really are the most expensive. But this notification...

"Please be advised: You will become the System's sole guardian."

"Please be advised: World permissions will be opened to the sole player."

"To reiterate: When the player encounters difficulties, anything goes."

[Gem Collector] Word has it that someone in the organization likes collecting gems. Even his subordinates wear costly gems. As long as you offer him a gem that satisfies him, he can grant any wish you make, for just a tiny price.

"Why does everyone keep wanting my gems? You look like you want one too." The collector looked at the silver-haired man across from him. "I'm not after those stones. I heard your gems represent people." "Correct. So, are you going to give me the gem in your hand? Or have you taken a liking to this gem?" The System said, "Who says a soul gem isn't a gem?"

[The Inverted Chessboard] Everyone knows SAT agents are the best of the best. Fujiwara Akira, who always keeps his promises, is the odd one out among them. "Step back, or I'll shoot." Seeing the look of disbelief in the eyes of those who trusted him, Fujiwara Akira closed his book. He only wanted to keep his promise. Why were they so upset?

"Sorry, all your information is written in the book. Don't bother trying."

[Vanishing Fireflies] The three cardinal rules of a mercenary: the mission comes first, survival is paramount, and contracts are absolute., Yezhou Jingfeng is a consummate professional at the top of his field. Unfortunately, there are always kids coming over to disrupt his game, whether they're phantom thieves or the FBI. Don't get so close, and I'm not mute.

"Don't look at me like that. Talking is really exhausting."

[Delusion Enchants the Masses] Kurokawa Takumi is an utterly ordinary, maximally charming homeless man who doesn't want to be anyone's leader. He just wants to loaf around on the streets. But if that's the only option... then he'll take the podium and start a game with everyone! "Hello, have you ever heard of bread that costs five hundred thousand marks?"

Next up, available for preorder: "I Forge an Infinite-Flow World with an Exchange System"

On an ordinary day, Mo Ziqin transmigrated and unexpectedly acquired a mysterious exchange System. Through the System, she could break down and recombine elements from novels, such as plots, characters, and world settings, to create an entirely new world. She would earn rewards based on how entertaining that world was.

She was surprised to discover that this world lacked entertainment. The novels and movies from her previous world didn't exist here. And so "Harry Potter (Three-Body Problem Edition)", "Journey to the West (Urban Edition)", "Kayako and Sadako", "Ready Player One (Gotham Edition)", and "Weathering with You (Avengers Edition)" made their grand debut.

And so, the world was treated to:

"Wands Versus Laser Cannons! Who Will Win?"

"Did the Monkey Cause Mayhem on Wall Street Today?"

"I Ran Into Kayako and Sadako at the Same Time. Which Way of Dying Would Look Better?"

"How to Survive a Day in This Virtual Game, Oasis"

"Do Kids These Days Have to Destroy the World Before They Can Date?"

Mo Ziqin, the creator of the world, watched the participants who had been drawn into it, but they thought she was a hidden NPC. As she tried to keep her identity under wraps, even the real NPCs started noticing her. What was she supposed to do now?
