Forced to become a dalao (big shot)・I’m actually normal・Why do you all think I’m a dalao

Jiang Yiyi realises he has transmigrated into a survival video game named ‘Annals of Stargaol,’ also known as ‘The 108 Fancy Ways for Players Killing Themselves.’ It’s known for its high difficulty, lethality and overpowered NPCs.

If the game turns real, perhaps even surviving half an hour would be too much to ask?

Jiang Yiyi shudders. Between the player character and a random background character, he chooses the latter, only to find himself forced into a dalao role on a daily basis.

Book 1... more>>

On the day he received the Easter Egg, Lin Jue’s entire life changed. That nightmarish night, everyone in the school became zombies apart from the thirteen who had received an easter egg. It wasn’t because of a deadly virus, but rather a cruel game. Unable to leave the school, they were able to find a bargaining chip for life in the plaza. The prowling hunters in the dark were not the most fearsome opponents, the hidden Judas in the survivors was the most deadly. As everyone died one by one, the survivors struggled, waiting for dawn.

Book 2

It was a nightmare- in a sealed off university campus, the thirteen who received easter eggs were trapped and forced to fight for the sake of seeing the next sunrise. The Judas hidden among the players, the enemies that surrounded them on all fronts, the companions that were ready to turn against each other…

When Lin Jue woke up on his dormitory bed, there were no wounds on his body; everything from the previous night had just seemed like a dream. But Lilith was still giving out her easter eggs, and Song Hanzhang and Lu Ren were already there. The second round was just about to start. It turned out that all of it, all of it was real.

Book 3

“It means that the world we are in now is fake.” That one sentence from Song Hanzhang woke Lin Jue up from the joy he felt from surviving the second round.

From the moment they received the easter eggs, they had stopped existing in the world of men, and been made to struggle to survive in an endless game. The zombies of the first round, the insects of the second round; every round resulted in piles of casualties in this dangerous world. And in the third round… they were faced with an unprecedented, terrifying crisis.

A team from 2002 and a team from 2022 began a battle of life and death with Lin Jue and the others from the 2012 team. Only one could survive, so who would be the real winner? <<less

Deeply-closeted Xiaoming has downloaded a zipped file and opened one of the novels at random. He closed it immediately after two pages because he found it way too kinky for his tastes, and can only faintly recall the cannon fodder and the antagonist.... more>>

Waking up later, he became that cannon fodder on his way to tomorrow’s killing gauntlet reality show. Failing to return even after reciting the core values a hundred times, he could only pick up his sword. As long as the tragic fate could be rewritten, it’s fine to become tainted or whatever. <<less

Waking up from cryo sleep, Shen Siwei received an urgent mission: to disguise himself as a noble negotiator and enter the occupied area under the disguise of negotiations, investigating the background of the leader of the refugeees, Klet. He thought that his noble identity would serve as protection, but little did he know that those refugees had no limits. As soon as Shen Siwei entered the war zone, a group of men sort him and imprisoned him. Outside the cage, someone threw coins at Shen Siwei, asking him to strip naked. Just as Shen Siwei’s killing intent grew stronger, Klet finally appeared and put a stop to his subordinates’ misconduct. And then… he himself paid... more>> one dollar to buy Shen Siwei.

The mission was progressing slowly, so Shen Siwei sought guidance from his superiors.

Shen Siwei: Can I directly kill Klet?

Superior: No. Find a way to gather information by any means necessary.

Unable to retreat or resist, Shen Siwei was firmly held by Klet, the thug leader. In his heart, he killed this rogue leader countless times, but on the surface, he had tears in his eyes and tried to reason begging: “Please let me go.”

Klet remained unmoved, his voice deep and hoarse: “Behave yourself, and I’ll let you go.”

Not long after, Klet saw Shen Siwei, who handled guns better than him, and realized that this was not a weak beauty but a humanoid weapon.

Shen Shanwu, 13 years old in appearance but 31 years old in reality, is a mutant that can alter his own appearance. Although he looks like a child on the outside, his wisdom is not very good. One day, he was just passing by when he was suddenly forcibly adopted by a major general, whom he didn’t know where he came from.

He resisted, but when he looked up, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

The little boy, who could only hide behind him and cry, transformed into the unsmiling, cold, and tough man in front of him. And that expression of seeing a dead beloved is really unsightly…

Shen Shanwu: Can you smile?

Jing Huan: After Shanwu died, I couldn’t smile anymore.

Shen Shanwu: …Who? Who do you think is dead?

It took a long time before he found out about it. He found Jiang Huan crying and holding Shen Shanwu’s nameplate in the middle of the night and told his adopted son how good Shen Shanwu was… All of this…was seen by Shen Shanwu himself!

Jiang Huan (raising his gun): Since you have seen my embarrassment, then I can only marry you or kill you.

Shen Shanwu: …
