Qiao Wen was accidentally transmigrated into a 1970s Hong Kong style novel and became cannon fodder with the same name who died young.... more>>

The cannon fodder was the villain’s childhood friend in the novel. Due to a lack of funds, he died of a serious illness. His death was also the catalyst for the villain’s descent into madness, leading him down a bloody path of unscrupulous deeds for money, which eventually resulted in his tragic death from a stray bullet.

Qiao Wen, who had just awoken from a coma in a hospital bed, gazed at the dashing villain who was about to cut people with a knife in order to raise enough money to treat the original owner.

—— I believe this individual can still be saved.

While trying to make a fortune and get out of the slums, Qiao Wen stopped the villain from going dark.

It was necessary to establish a factory and engage in commercial activity.

Investing in stocks and real estate speculation are not to be overlooked.

It was also necessary to make movies and earn money in the entertainment industry.

In the meantime, fight evil forces in order to bring justice to the world.

——I am a legend, not a cannon fodder.

Just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, Qiao Wen noticed that the villain’s eyes were becoming increasingly strange, as if they had gone to the darkside.

He comforted the other person by patting them on the shoulder and saying, ”We’ll be good brothers, for a lifetime.”

'En, good brothers under one quilt,' said someone with a grin on his face. <<less

Shin Takisawa, a high school boy who came to the city for university entrance exams, met an eccentric but beautiful schoolgirl who claimed to be a part of an urban legend.

“It is surely fate!” the self-proclaimed urban legend says dreamily.

“I’ll admit it was a strange connection,” the boy declared, shrugging his shoulders bashfully.

The pair somehow wound up attending the same university, and due to that experience and their particular “idiosyncrasies,” they started a club that also served as a hobby.

“The Raven Club”

This tale is a catalog of the mysterious, bizarre stories that started from the meeting of this pair that could see these kinds of spirits.

Sometimes trembling in fear, sometimes their hearts dancing, the two—more than friends but less than lovers— are even today going… <<less

Until my husband, whom I met again, showed a completely different side from the past!

'I will try to become the man you want.' So, Amelia." The voice that used to sweetly stick to my ear gradually faded away. It secretly begged not to turn away from me as it dug into my ear. "Please allow me by your side." He gently lifted a handful of my hair, then, as if to assert, brought it to his lips and slowly kissed me without breaking our gaze. It was a dizzying gaze that made my whole body flush. "No matter what happens, I will never leave you." <<less

This story is fiction. The characters, ideas, and events in the work are unrelated to reality.... more>>

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

[Blind (fake), flirtatious shou x restrained (real), criminal investigator gong].... more>>

Ying Wan was a blind person nobody wanted. He was picked up from an alley by Yu Baiqing, who was eight years older than him.

Adult Ying Wan became a blind bartender, while Yu Baiqing smoothly graduated from the police academy and joined Fan City’s criminal investigation team.

Seven years later, there was a major transnational case in Fan City.

With their backs to the wall, the criminal group seized Ying Wan as a hostage and demanded for the captain of the criminal investigation team, Yu Baiqing, to give up on capturing them.

Ying Wan could not see, so all he could hear was the sound of a bullet being loaded.

On that day, in front of Yu Baiqing, the bandit pointed the gun at Ying Wan and pressed the trigger.

–

When Ying Wan came to, he realized he was no longer blind.

He’d returned to the day he was held hostage.

Having regained his sight, Ying Wan recognized the handsome, tall criminal investigator amongst the mass of people in an instant.

That was his ge Yu Baiqing, who had raised him for more than ten years.

Yu Baiqing’s bloodshot eyes were locked unwaveringly on Ying Wan, who was in the hands of the bandit. Sweat and tears intermixed as they slid down his cheeks.

“Captain Yu, shoot me if you can!”

The criminal yelled arrogantly at Yu Baiqing in the distance. “Do you dare to use the lives of a few thousand people in exchange for your brother?”

The reborn Ying Wan watched with his own eyes as Yu Baiqing raised the gun in his hands and aimed it accurately at the bandit’s heart once more.

“…I’m sorry, Little Wan.”

He saw Yu Baiqing mouth ‘I. Love. You.’

–

Yu Baiqing always thought that the little blind person would never know, even till the day he died, that he’d liked him for many years.

‘We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.’

– Plato

Author’s Notes:

– This is a suspense, mystery novel with a Hong Kong-style of criminal investigation, but as a whole, it is impractical.

– Both are bigshots. Two sockpuppet spirits putting on a show about their birth (lit cigarette.jpg)

– There’s both the gong and shou’s POV, but more from the shou. Gong and shou are not related by blood, they call each other ge and di only because there is an age gap.

– 1V1, HE. Plot is complex but romance is sweet!! Please read with peace of mind~

– One last nagging statement – this is my own creative work, there is no relation to reality. Please don’t self-insert without any research. It’s a difficult environment, may readers please leave me with a way out, many thanks. <<less
