How a Nobody Survived an Infinite-Flow World by Bragging

A nobody woke up one day to find his home had been robbed. Not only had his wonderful sons been stolen, the thief had left him without even his underwear. He stormed down the mountain... and became a beggar. Along the way, he went looking for his wonderful sons. From then on, the town of Sifang had a new topic of conversation: a very handsome little beggar had arrived. He was filthy every day, riding a tricycle through the streets, collecting plastic bottles while playing a missing-child announcement. By chance, he wandered into a ghost realm. The nobody cried out, “Could this be the legendary Infinite Flow? If things follow the usual formula, I must be the male lead!” In one thrilling little world after another, the nobody spotted a business opportunity. He started selling talismans. Other people's talismans were covered in complicated incantations. The ones he sold had pictures of Ultraman on them. The nobody declared, “Carry this Ultraman and you’ll be safe. This Ultraman has been blessed with a golden light.” While others chanted spells to activate their magic, he recited magical-girl transformation chants. But the ones who feared the nobody most were the NPCs in each of those little worlds. When the weather turned cold, he mercilessly killed plush toys and ripped out their stuffing to make himself clothes. He took a side job helping elementary school students with their homework, then turned around and exploited the terrifying NPCs in his little worlds, making them help him with his summer assignments day and night. The NPCs spoke as one: “We may not be human, but that nobody is a real dog.” The nobody, meanwhile, said, “Free food and lodging, too? I can’t believe I lucked into such a great deal. Infinite Flow is great!!!”
