Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate.... more>>

She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish.

She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone.

She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear!

If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it.

If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive.

No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix!

“What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?”

“That's right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?” <<less

I’ve come back to life as a prophet in a B-grade horror film that bombed at the box office in the summer of 1999 and faded into obscurity.... more>>

Luckily, I managed to survive, not as the female lead who witnesses all the horrors, nor as the handsome male lead who you’d expect to survive but tragically dies. I’m not the sleazeball who gets offed in a particularly gruesome way after hitting on every woman in sight, nor the best friend of the female lead who shares a fleeting romantic moment with a lover in an obviously creepy forest. Nope, I’m the prophet.

As a prophet, I thought my role was just to warn the main characters and then exit the scene, but…

[Choking… Coughing… Wheezing…]

An alien creature, known only as Monster X, has taken an unsettling interest in me.

[Heavy breathing…]

And as if that’s not enough, a gas mask-wearing, knife-wielding maniac decides to skip heading to the cabin where the protagonists are and make a pit stop at the convenience store where I’m working.

What’s going on? Why is all this happening to me, a mere side character?!

Come for the romance, stay for the horror. <<less

An undesirable princess. A damsel with nothing but a pretty face. Persecuted in her homeland, Stella is about to be sold as a tribute as soon as she comes of age. Until, in a moment of desperation, she meets a man.... more>>

“I’m looking for something important. I need you, Princess, to help me.”

The man who kidnaps Stella with this bizarre demand is a northerner with leaps and bounds in physical development. He’s also a man who’ll turn into a monster due to a curse passed down from his ancestor.

“Do you think I can help you break the curse?”

“Yes. Please be kind to this man who will turn into a monster in less than a year.”

Easley gives her the end of three months to find the gem he needs to break the curse tied to his blood.

Time passes in a blur, and Stella feels an uncanny affinity for the man isolated from the world. Until an oracle comes down that says he needs her sacrifice, not the gem, to prevent him from turning into a monster. <<less

The third year spiritual energy was revived, humanity got swept into a real-life game of oddities, 《Folklore》.
The game randomly extracted from strange stories for its quests: If won, the quest's boss would turn into a guardian deity, holding back all sorts of evils; If failed, the oddities would completely revive, and the area implicated in the quest would completely fall to enemy occupation! ... more>>

As it had impact,
The players participating in the quest and the stream audience hated idiots who were burdens the most.

Unfortunately, when a disaster-level quest got unlocked, matched into the quest, was this,
Silver-grey long-haired, pessimistic, sickly, when others fought he slept, when others ran he showered
No matter how much more good-looking they were, it could not conceal that "I don't want to live, everyone die with me" kind of anti-social air

When his data was pulled up:
24k pure newbie.

Everyone's eyes went dark, GDI, this isn't even enough for a bite for the boss!

Yet no one knew, Wei E once was drawn into a different, much higher-dimension UF world
Over there, there would be a small quest every three days, and one big quest every five. Each quest would be stifled with a manic hopelessness, driving people to their deaths. No player was able to hang on for three years, and Wei E was the first who had a chance to live past three years—— after he bombed the Creator.

When the Creator's space was collapsing
Wei E reminisced these three years of endless fighting for his life, and strongly vowed: If there was a next life, he would definitely not get mixed in it again!

Once Wei E opened his eyes, he returned to the familiar blue planet
But before he could get excited, he discovered…… the Creator followed him out too : )
----

That day the hunting grounds got destroyed, the Creator vowed there would be one day he would kill that insolent ant
When Wei E occasionally brushed his teeth and looked up, he could see the mirror written with: "After one hundred days, I will definitely kill you."

By the fiftieth day [left], a player confessed to Wei E.
By the thirtieth day, Wei E made it to first place in 《Folklore's》most charming guy.
By the tenth day, the quest boss threw themselves on him.
By the fifth day, third day, each day, there would be people on the forums calling themselves Wei E's dog.

On the final day, the Creator really grabbed Wei E's throat, with his voice dark and frenzied: "I said, I would kill you sooner or later."

However, seeing Wei E's wearily curled lips, He thought, I perhaps should change the method.
For example, beneath his body.
————

When Wei E solved the first disaster-level quest, there were still people who felt it was a mere coincidence.
But when each and every one of the disaster-level continuously got cracked, life got brought back from death, they then shockingly discovered, that was not a coincidence, but hope that would make even spent clay revivify.

And in this absurd, despairing world, he was the walking——
#1 boss! <<less

There were ten days left before the end of the world, and the people I used to know lined up to visit my hermitage, hoping that I, the former ‘savior’ that they had banished from the Union three years ago, would return to save the world again.... more>>

In return, I placed a semi-obsolete number machine outside my door, which only served to issue queue numbers but not call them.

In fact, I wanted to spill a pot of water just to demonstrate the phrase ‘Spilled water will not return to the bowl’, but considering that there were water-affinity magicians outside… Forget it…

They firmly believed that I was still as soft-hearted as before, and as long as they begged and guilt-tripped me, I would go through all the trouble and risk my life again for the world, just like what happened in the past ten years.

Pardon me, but not this time.

… And, even if the world was destroyed, I won’t die anyway. <<less

Then again, making good food had never been an easy task.
