Early Talent: [God of Thieves] (S-Level)

Midgame Evolution: [One-Person Party] (SS-Level)

"A free soul is never bound by the thorns of nobility. There’s no need to ascend to the divine altar or sugarcoat our deeds. We are thieves lurking in the shadows—know yourself, and then revel in unbridled joy."

As the world turns into a game, every player awakens a divinely bestowed talent:

[Holy Light] , [Immortal] , [Breath of Winter] , [Frozen Throne] , [Elegance Never Goes Out of Style] , [Clock Out, Then Become a Chef God] , [Best Supporting Role] , [Marshmallow] , [Butter Beer] , and so on...

After being reborn, the first thing Yu Xunge does is rush home to force-feed her brother—soon to marry into the Su family—a bottle of liquor, ensuring he misses the first beta test of the game.

In her past life, this s*umbag had manipulated her endlessly. It wasn’t until her dying moments that she discovered he had been scheming against her from the shadows all along.

On her deathbed, she learned she was nothing more than the villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law’s rise to power. All the malice and suffering she endured? It was him shifting blame onto her from behind the scenes.

This time, it’s her turn to operate in the shadows.

Male and female leads? All your fortunes? They’re mine now.

After transmigrating into a beast world, Rong Mingshi discovered that the people of this world experienced widespread mania. For example, when their emotions were abnormally agitated, they would become destructive beasts. If their emotions were abnormally low, they would shrink into their young beast form.... more>>

There is a type of energy stone that can cure this but it must be hand-carved into the animal form corresponding to the beastman. The more realistic the shape, the better the healing effect and the higher the repeated utilization rate.

Then a small store suddenly popped up on the Star Network, selling several small sculptures made with superb skill. The effect of the energy stone to soothe emotions could be felt through the screen and stirred up a sensation in the entire empire. However, this store owner was super lazy… <<less

When Gu Yu woke up, he found himself transmigrated to a werebeast planet and becoming an ‘artificial female’ given to the imperial marshal.... more>>

Shudder.

While the males on Brilliant Splendor are so capable that they can freely switch from beast to human form, the females were too fragile in human form and lost the ability to become human during the catastrophe.

It was the most common desire of the males – that their partners have human forms.

To satisfy this desire, a new product appeared on the market: artificial females – biological robots that are identical to natural human females, equipped with intelligent chips, and capable of responding to stimuli.

Planet Law stipulates that, in order to ensure the birth rate of the young, if one does not marry on their own by the age of eighty, they will be issued a partner by the Star Network.

Brilliant Splendor’s oldest prime bachelor, Marshal Cyno Bruce, made a decision that shocked the network when he was about to turn eighty.

- Marry an artificial female.

Cyno: Marry a beast female, no way! As for artificial females? Well, it’s cheap and it will not be a hindrance.

Later…

Really fragrant! _(:з”∠)_ Baby, let me hold you! <<less

What does it feel like to be a cannon fodder in your own novel?... more>>

After ruining countless of his novels with sh*t endings,

Gu Yan who finally received his retribution understood.

Heaven spared no one.

In order to protect his small life, Gu Yan has been sent to diligently clean up his own mess.

Yu Yan transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a stand-in for the beloved protagonist. Upon opening his eyes, he found himself in the “jumping-off-a-cliff” scene. In the original plot, he didn’t dare to jump—he was just bluffing to guilt-trip the people who once doted on him.... more>>

Everyone knew he wouldn’t jump, so they didn’t even spare him a glance.

Yu Yan jumped. Why? Because he knew his chance for a comeback was at the bottom of that cliff!

Down there was the novel’s ultimate villain, the Demon Lord Duan Lin. Armed with the knowledge that the Demon Lord was a certified fluff enthusiast, Yu Yan transformed into a cute little kitten and acted like he owned the place.

At first, of course, the Demon Lord was suspicious. He gave a chilling warning:

“If I find out you’re a human in disguise, you’re dead.”

But Yu Yan’s acting skills were top-notch. He played the part of an adorably clueless kitten so well that the Demon Lord ended up pampering him to the heavens.

Yu Yan’s plan was simple: take advantage of the situation and absorb the mysterious spiritual energy hidden in the depths of the cliff. With it, he could ascend and turn his fate around.

Unfortunately, ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Yan had scoured every inch of the cliff but still couldn’t find his golden ticket. Instead, the Demon Lord started acting… off.

“Idiot, after all the spiritual pills you’ve eaten, you still can’t transform.”

“Why haven’t you taken human form today?”

“Are you too dumb to cultivate?”

“You’re not allowed to die!”

Yu Yan, the noble cat overlord, was rudely shaken awake. Annoyed, he meowed: Who keeps spreading rumors I’m dead? I’m just sunbathing! For the thousandth time, I’m not dead!

Faced with the Demon Lord’s increasingly extreme attempts at “raising” him, Yu Yan finally transformed into his human form… right in the Demon Lord’s arms. For a brief moment, Yu Yan swore he saw the Demon Lord blush.

Though Yu Yan knew his lies would be exposed as soon as he left the cliff, he couldn’t help but enjoy it when the Demon Lord, back on the surface, grabbed the protagonist and snarled:

“You imposter! Where’s my cat?! Where did you hide my precious cat?!”

Yu Yan thought to himself, This feels amazing. <<less

“Damn those reincarnateds! Always making a mess in the world that’s not even theirs! I will kill them all!”

[Hee, you will kill me too then?] A voice answered her from the corner of the room

“Of course not! Motoki might be reincarnated but you are my best friend!”

[Cool]
“But the reincarnaters are so strong, we Orcs can’t kill them… I know! Motoki, can you help kill them for me?”

[Okay, but there’s a condition. You will let me have a way with you then]
“O….okay. But how will you kill them?”

[Easy Peasy~ I’ll just have to steal their harem and they will weaken and lose their will to fight… then I’ll kill them]
Thus Katou Motoki departed the Orc Castle, deceiving a High Noble Orc’s daughter Ka’Liu and taking her with him as companion on the journey to kill reincarnaters.

While playing the online game "Convergence of Ten Thousand Realms," Yan Luoyue suddenly found herself transmigrated into the body of a newly hatched baby turtle in the cultivation world of the turtle clan.... more>>

Fortunately, her system account had come along with her, and the skill books and equipment in her inventory were still intact.

However, there was a bug in her account information.

Year after year, Yan Luoyue watched as her health bar grew infinitely longer.

Every year on her birthday, an extra zero was added to her health bar.

In the first year after her transmigration, Yan Luoyue used all her divine artifacts to ensure her fragile self wouldn’t choke to death on her own saliva.

By the tenth year, she removed all her equipment and casually strolled through the forbidden grounds of her clan.

The sealed demons and monsters surrounded her, hacking away for three days and three nights, until they collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

A hundred years after her transmigration, Yan Luoyue looked up and realized her health bar now spanned the entire continent.

Someone once asked Demon Venerable Yan, "Does being invincible make you lonely?"

Yan Luoyue kindly replied, "Silly child, how could being invincible be lonely? It’s absolutely amazing."

Synopsis Two:

Wu Manshuang was covered in poison, the last of the Teng Serpent (celestial serpent) lineage in the world.

The closer anyone got to him, the deeper the poison would affect them.

So, Wu Manshuang wrapped himself up tightly. He hid in a pitch-black cloak, avoiding all living beings. He thought his life would pass in solitude, until—

A young girl’s slender, warm hand touched his cheek.

"Your health-draining debuff is pretty strong, huh?"

Wu Manshuang quickly pushed her hand away. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"Relax," the girl said with a carefree smile. "I’m way stronger than you."

From then on, the little serpent gently coiled around the turtle’s shell.

And then…

The world gained the divine beast Xuanwu.

Suddenly, the unmarried twenty-year-old Ye Zhizhou had many more relatives, yet it was too late for him to clearly understand the circumstances as he nearly died in a car accident. After that, he somehow managed to survive and was even forcibly bound to a Salvation System.... more>>

How is it salvation?

Harems destroy worlds! Preventing a harem will save them!

Ok, prevent harems. After seeing the entire system introduction, the corners of Ye Zhizhou’s mouth twitched. In order to return home safely, he decisively began his risky journey, he’d just treat it as if he was playing a large-scale strategy game.

Since then, the people the protagonist would rescue, he rescued first. The businesses the protagonist would make, he made first. The little brother the protagonist would take in, he took in first. The cliff the protagonist would jump off of, he jumped off of first. The gay s*x the protagonist would have, he’d have. . . . Wait wait, can’t do this one, change it, let me change it.

Abandoned by his parents as a child and raised in a gambling den, Gyeon Heeseong.... more>>

He does not hesitate to take on rough tasks for the sake of the older brother who accepted him into the group, but when he is turned into a puppy due to an injury from an attack, he is picked up by Yoon Chi-young.

“What’s with this scruffy puppy?”

‘Let go… you bastard!’

Suddenly, Gyeon Heeseong becomes Yoon Chi-young’s puppy, known as the man-eating wolf.

“The pheromones are almost undetectable. It’s just a puppy.”

‘Quack.’

However, even the doctor judges Heeseong as a mere puppy, so Heeseong decides to deceive Yoon Chi-young by pretending to be a puppy and then escape.

But Yoon Chi-young is a lunatic who never lets the puppy out of his arms.

“I even gave you a treat… Can’t you give me just one kiss?”

‘Sigh…’

Although Heeseong becomes the recipient of affection and care from Yoon Chi-young, whom he fears, their cohabitation is precarious.

“Puppy… I don’t think I’ll eat you.”

‘You, you’re insane.’

The story of the cohabitation of a puppy who just wants to escape from the man-eating wolf, and the man-eating wolf who has lost his heart to such a puppy.

▶A Quick Taste

“I’m sorry, okay? Please forgive me this once.”

“……”

“I’ll never leave your side again. I promise.”

‘Don’t try to act cute!’

If only he had left him alone, he would have cooled down on his own. But being coaxed with a handsome face, the puppy was utterly infuriated. Heeseong attacked Yoon Chi-young’s hand as soon as he saw it and barked fiercely.

Woof! Woof!

“What’s that? You like me so much? Want to go home quickly?”

Yoon Chi-young, petting the puppy, asked Ji Yeong-bae, a subordinate of the canine tribe. Despite continuously being bitten by the puppy, he always thought romantically. And Ji Yeong-bae always responded honestly.

“Yes, sir… He’s saying, ‘You bastard.’”

“So damn cute…. Okay, let’s go home and be alone together.” <<less

Raising cubs is not easy, Ruan Shiqing picked up his old business and devoted himself to the great cause of garbage recycling and turning waste into treasure.

On the junk star B3024, a repair shop hidden in the corner is famous among the stars. It is said that as long as the starting price is given, there is no weapon that the shopkeeper cannot make.

The owner, Ruan Shiqing, who never could afford food and brought five cubs with him, became the richest man on the Interstellar Black List.

He packed up his luggage and carried the cubs into the spaceship cabin one by one, preparing to take the cubs to the capital star to see the world.

However, just after leaving the port, looking at the wanted notices posted everywhere, a question mark slowly appeared above Ruan Shiqing’s head: ?

How come the five interstellar pirates on this wanted list look like the cubs in his arms?

…things started to go wrong.​​

On the eve of the succession ceremony, Rong Heng was attacked, and his aircraft crashed on Junk Star B3024. He was seriously injured and nearly died, returning to the most humiliating childhood.

The infancy of the Yomir family: white fur, brown eyes, no horns, weak like a puppy.

In a desperate situation full of resentment, he picked him up from the dirty garbage heap with both hands, and said softly, “Whose puppy is it? Come home with me if no one wants it.”

If Rong Heng was able to, he would bite his wrist fiercely and tell him that the Yomir family was the most ancient and noble race in the entire universe.

But later, he became the emperor of the empire, but he was still willing to stay by his side in the weakest form, disguised as a little cub, just to monopolize the favor of the youth. <<less

Jing Li transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a rare koi fish with a unique koi buff that can quickly change the fortunes of those around him.... more>>

The little koi ended up in a remote mountain village, where he was picked up by the village’s most famous sickly person.

The sickly man, named Qin Zhao, came to the village three years ago with no memory of his past, his identity shrouded in mystery. So ill that he could barely move, he was ostracized by the villagers.

Looking at the empty mud house where Qin Zhao lived, Jing Li decided to help him.

The little koi wagged its tail at Qin Zhao: “I heard I can help people fulfill their wishes!”

Qin Zhao: “Anything?”

Little koi: “Yes, yes, yes!”

Qin Zhao smiled faintly: “I want a husband.”

From that day on, the sickly man in the village suddenly recovered and was incredibly lucky.

Whenever he ventured into the mountains, he found rare herbs; a casual act of saving someone turned out to be the son of a wealthy merchant from the city; even when digging in the ground, he unearthed a silver ingot…

He built a house, got married, and established a private school. Life got better and better. The villagers, driven by curiosity, started climbing the walls, trying to steal his luck secret.

They only saw the sickly man squatting by the pool, gently coaxing the bright red koi blowing bubbles at the bottom:

“Come out and eat, or I won’t let you have baby fish.”

Mermaid number 55 was abandoned by his master.... more>>

Before he fainted from hunger, he was finally sold off at a rock-bottom price by a fishmonger.

According to the fishmonger, his second master had a severely damaged mental seascape and was a poor, destitute individual who could only afford a second-hand mermaid like number 55 with weak soothing abilities.

Number 55: Oh no, I'm going to starve again,wū wū...

However, not only did this master give him a beautiful name, "MuMu," but he also fed him high-grade nutrient fish food every meal and rubbed his tail with brand-name mermaid care cream.

MuMu was raised to be fair and plump, but he never saw his new master enjoy any delicacies. To support him, his new master even worked like a 007 agent, day and night...

MuMu decided: I will use my special skills and work hard to support the family!

The inability of humans and mermaids to communicate is a perplexing problem that plagues the entire interstellar human race.

Only mermaids can soothe the turbulent mental seascapes of humans. Even if they are inexplicably scratched or bitten by their own mermaids, they have to endure it. After all, who can understand what the mermaids are complaining about?

But one day, the first interstellar "Mermaid Simultaneous Interpretation" livestream appeared...

The streamer was a fair-skinned young man with clear eyes and a unique voice: "For just a small gift, you can connect and get simultaneous interpretation, it's very cheap!"

The barrage scoffed: [Where did this scammer streamer come from? Such a low-level trick to get gifts, only a fool would try it!]

After the trial "fool" appeared, the streamer listened to his family's mermaid screeching and accurately translated:

"She says she's afraid of c*ckroaches, and every time she sees one, she scratches you twice out of frustration. She suggests a thorough pest control treatment for your home."

[Holy crap! After I exterminated the bugs in my house, my mermaid really stopped scratching me!]

[What!? I'll send a cruise ship, streamer, connect with me first!]

[Is he a god? The entire interstellar world is finally saved!]

...

MuMu closed the livestream, switched back to his mermaid form, counted the earnings in his livestream account, and happily flicked the tip of his tail:

I can support Master now!
