I think every otaku has wished for a life of a light novel protagonist at some point in their life. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a harem of hot women throwing themselves at you while you fire off the flashiest magic spells known to mankind?? Of course, none of these wishes will ever come true... Right?

This is the story of a normal NEET who spends his days playing the latest MMOs, reading the latest light novels, and watching the latest anime. This is the story of a NEET who was accidentally reincarnated as the protagonist of a light novel. This is the story of Watari Tanaka. This is my story.

New 1: Attempt of love

Following her forced marriage (in the nineteenth century), she wanted to love and be free. But fate had a different twist than she imagined.

It was not much of a surprise as to what happened for his exams: he flunked them all, well, most of them at least. His previous grades were barely average and with his present grades, one could easily see the clear decline in his academic performance.

Xing Peng felt heavy and burdened when he got to know his grades, he knew they were going to be bad but he didn't think they would be THAT bad.
His father never cared about him, let alone his grades. Likewise, Xing Peng never cared for his drunk old man. The only one he cared about was his mother. While his grades before were barely average, now they were abysmal. He didn't want to see the disappointment in his mother's eyes when she knew of his academic performance.

But Xing Peng knew this matter couldn't be avoided. He went home and let his mother know about his grades.
Xing Peng's mother didn't say much, other than telling him to work harder next time and to focus on his studies, but Xing Peng knew that she would still be a bit disappointed in him. After all, Ai Yu was struggling to provide him better education so his later life would go smoothly, and here he was flunking his exams and not being worthy of the efforts she put into him.

Although Xing Peng's mother knew that her son was bullied by his brother at home, she ensured that the latter didn't seek any trouble with Xing Peng under her presence.
But this help was only temporary. Since she had to go and manage the small restaurant, she wasn't always at home. Ai Yu knew that without her presence, Xing Shan would definitely trouble his little brother. She could only hope that Xing Peng studied properly in school. 

She was not aware that Xing Peng's troubles didn't end at home, he was bullied at his school,too.
Xing Peng kept quiet about this matter to avoid any unnecessary worry for his mother.

Since the exams were over and his scores were already announced, for the next few days he was in a gloomy mood. He knew, if he wanted to blame anyone for his failure it would be he himself and his *sshole of a brother, Xing Shan. If he had studied and didn't indulge in those Chinese novels then perhaps, he could have gotten average grades and if Xing Shan had stopped beating and torturing him for no reason, getting grades a bit above average was likely possible for him.

But those were just "ifs", the truth was, that he had miserable grades at the moment.
Feeling down for his own stupidity over abandoning himself to those novels, Xing Peng once again turned to read the very same as he consoled himself: "Exams are already over, so reading a bit more won't really affect me for now and when the next round of exams comes, I would have already stopped reading novels and begun studying hard to get good grades."

The next day when Xing Peng went to school his friend, Li Chong, brought him to a remote corner to show him something.

"What's up? What do you want to show me, brother Chong?" Xing Peng asked curiously.

"Hmm... just wait a bit" Li Chong said as he took out his phone and showed Xing Peng some web novels.

"See, here are the translated versions of the Chinese novels in English, meant for the international audiences. I know you are struggling a bit with the English language and since you also like reading these novels, you should try reading some web novels as it will improve your English as well. It's like killing two birds with one stone" Li Chong explained.

"Really? That's amazing! But sadly, I only have an ordinary phone, nothing like yours, which happens to be the latest smartphone" Xing Peng said.
But he didn't feel too grieved over it. His family's finances were limited, given how his father wasted most of the money by gambling it away or by getting himself drunk, the family was always in a tight situation when it came to their finances.
His mother wasn't able to change this situation either, she had tried but was slapped and lashed at.

"Brother Xing Peng, why make me feel more miserable than before? I figured that, because I introduced you to some Chinese novels, your grades have dropped. Don't try to deny it, I know it. 
But your eyes aren't as gloomy as they used to be before. So now I don't know whether I did a good or a bad thing by introducing you to novels" Li Chong laughed as he put his new phone into Xing Peng's hands.

"Brother Chong... this? Why did you hand me your smartphone?" At this point Xing Peng was confused, but when he saw Li Chong taking out a similar phone from his pocket and grinning, he seemed to have realized something and immediately asked: "Is this for me?"

Xing Peng immediately regretted asking such stupid question. This was one of the latest smartphones in the market, so how could Li Chong give it to him so easily?

But to his surprise, Li Chong nodded and said: "Actually, there was an offer of: "Buy one get one free", so when I bought that phone I got another one for free. Since you are my only friend in school, I decided to gift it to you" Li Chong smoothly lied.

Xing Peng found something was off, but to give his only friend some face, he accepted his gift.
Later that day, Xing Peng's web novel reading adventures began.
His exams had just finished recently and the next round was still a good 2 or 3 months away.
Xing Peng soon noticed that reading these web novels somehow made him feel more at ease with the English language and he was rapidly improving and grasping it.

When he was back at home, his mother was obviously the first one to notice that Xing Peng was using one of those expensive smartphones that had just recently arrived on the market. She felt shocked and asked: "Peng'er, where did you get that phone from?"

Seeing his mother's concerned expression, Xing Peng laughed and said: "Mom, don't worry. My friend, Li Chong, gave it to me as a present today"

Xing Peng's mother had already heard of this "Li Chong" as Xing Peng sometimes mentioned him to her, she also knew he was her son's best friend, so she calmed down a bit, but was still shocked. 
[Peng'er's friend must be from a rich family, no wonder he can afford to gift away smartphones to his friends.] As she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

As a mother, she always wished the best for her children but given the limited finances they had, she couldn't afford it.

Nevertheless, she felt happy. [If Peng'er holds firmly onto this friend of his, perhaps he wouldn't have any troubles in the society,in future.] Ai Yu thought.
Her assumption about Li Chong wasn't that far off the mark; He was indeed from a rich family, but an illegitimate child, so his finances were strictly limited.

Xing Peng got easily hooked up with the web novels; often sleeping late at times. The ones he was mostly interested in were also his favourites: reincarnation-type novels.
One novel he came across was "Divine Ice God". It seemed to have come into publication on the web novel platform only recently. There were already a few chapters released, and out of pure curiosity Xing Peng checked it out and found it quite an impressive piece of work.
Although it was only in the beginning phase, it would surely become a great novel as it developed, Xing Peng thought as he proceeded to read more interesting web novels.

Xing Peng who is a teenager with an absolutely not-a-normal life, one day gets hits by meteorite-kun and his supposedly 'end' becomes a new start in a whole new world!

Let's journey together with the protagonist and experience this world together.

Thanks for reading everyone, but I have to put Marco and Reina's adventures on pause for a sad announcement. 

If you've been following other original novels, you probably know that something's been brewing lately. To give you the full story, last year Webnovel hosted a contest called "Beyond the Language." The promise was that the winners would receive a Webnovel contract, the first for any English original novel. I quickly wrote the first draft of this story you've been reading and submitted it. 

Fast-forward to the end of 2017, New Year's Eve to be exact. I was sent an e-mail, much to my joy, saying that I was on the "winner's shortlist" for the Beyond The Language contest. Talk about a great way to ring in 2018. Or so I thought. 

I learned mid-January that Webnovel wanted some changes to my story. And by that, I mean their "experts" advised I scrap my original idea and turn Marco into an OP hero that dazzled everyone with some new secret technique every other chapter. I asked if I could keep my story as it was, and was basically told "we don't feel confident in giving a contract or prize to your current story." So I made changes. Changes I wasn't happy with, but I made them. 

More weeks passed, until it was suddenly April. I got a message April 7th telling me two very surprising things. First, I was to publish my story for the Original Novels' launch on the April 10th.

 "What about the contract?" I asked. 

"The contract is not ready," was the response I got. "There is no need to sign a contract before upload. I think it's a great opportunity to expose your work since on the early stage there are not many novels." 

Oh yeah, that's right. The second surprise I got was the reveal that everyone could publish a novel. So not only is there a lack of contract, but us "contest winners" weren't even the first original novels. We shared that honor with a bunch of fanfics and every variation of a title using the world "System." 

You're smart people, so you can quickly piece together that April was two months ago. Two months and still no mention of contract or even a post announcing the status of the Beyond the Language contest. My inquiries to Webnovel staff were met with no answer. Not as in they were vague. I mean I was literally ignored.

So imagine my surprise (seems to be a running theme with Webnovel) when I read Insane Mooncake's latest chapter of Memory Seal announcing his hiatus, and Bai Siwa's frank rant to his readers. There are contracts being put out!? Nice of Webnovel to let me know. 

And that is why I must join what is sure to be a growing number of writers leaving Webnovel. It just makes no sense to keep contributing content to a platform that's actively snubbing you. Especially when I have rent and car payments to make, and this pesky need to constantly ingest food. 

Yes, it is unfortunately about the money. I cherish every comment and review I get (even the negative ones), but the bills need to get paid. And Webnovel clearly isn't going to be helping in that department. 

So I deeply apologize, but I have to leave Marco and Reina, and you, hanging just as their adventures were getting started. Who knows? Maybe I'll return to them one day on another platform. It would be nice to polish the story instead of having to put something out in a rush to keep up a consistent release. For now, I think I'll retreat back into my writer's hole (read: bedroom), start brainstorming my next project, and play some much-needed Monster Hunter. 

For the last time, thanks from the bottom of my heart for reading, commenting, and giving stones. Hopefully I see you on the next one. 

-Blame_Your_Fate

In a kingdom of monsters and magic, Marco Flores is just the peasant son of a peasant. When he gets his chance to be a great Hero, he screws it up by running away from the fight. But when he encounters a secretive princess, he just might get his second chance at glory. Problem is, he'll have to lie, cheat, and scheme just to hold onto it...

Updates: Starting out with 2-3 new chapters a week, more in the future. I unfortunately work a full time job otherwise I'd be one of those crazies that writes 15 chapters a week. So if you want more chapters than review and give stones and do all those other things to make Qidian-senpai notice me!

Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's words, Ko Gohon's eyes instantly lit up and he anxiously said, "Uncle Kazuma, I've realized my mistakes. Quickly teach me, what do I have to do?!"
"Currently, the previous bet is already over. We'll just ignore it and not consider it any further." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "So, now, we mainly have to focus on the online novel website.
"According to your bet with Hong Dali, the person with the most number of daily updated books two weeks later wins. If it's according to your idea to increase the flat fees of the authors at the novel website and find ghostwriters to increase the number of novels, all these can more or less be done, but it's still far from enough!
"In this day and age, channels are the king.
"Number one, get through all the possible channels of the novel website and liaise with our joint venture companies in Heavenly State. As long as they are enterprises related to the internet, they must all advertise on the novel website.
"Number two, liaise with the telecommunication companies in Heavenly State and get them to send messages to prompt people to read our novels!
"Number three, liaise with all the web portals in Heavenly State, including Weibo, and open all channels to read our novels.
"Number four, hold a free of charge reading day to attract those readers that are used to reading free of charge books.
"Number five, hype things up and expose our Feng Yun website's remunerations for our authors on all the websites related to novels!
"Number six, liaise with the TV stations to interview our authors and create more exposure for the website!" 
Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's suggestions, Ko Gohon's face glowed as he firmly smacked his thigh. "Understood. I'll get these done right away!"
…
In the next few days, advertisements about Feng Yun website suddenly emerged everywhere. Advertisements for Feng Yun website were all over all the various websites in Heavenly State.
"Feng Yun website is the largest local reading base, free of charge reading and downloading of the novels. No pop-up ads, simple and clean webpage. Come to Feng Yun website to find good novels!"—Haoche Website. 
"Feng Yun website is an online novel website with no pop-up ads, providing the latest and best novels for all novel lovers. Come to Feng Yun website to read novels!"—Dream Paris.
"Feng Yun website provides you with various literature works with no advertisements to spoil your reading experience. It's a website which creates an elegant environment to read novels for all friends who are literature lovers, and the content includes various popular novels."—Guodian Online. 
…
On smartphones.
Countless people throughout Heavenly State had received messages about Feng Yun website's novels.
"We welcome you to the free of charge reading column, Feng Yun website provides all kinds of awesome and exciting novels." 
"[Urban] Personal Show: My Best Grade Missy."
"[Military Affairs] Special Operation of the Falcons: Special Force Number One." 
"[History] Great Waves Again in the Court: Big Fatuous Ruler."
"[Urban] Exceedingly Beautiful Superior: Pretty Tenant."
"[Fantasy] Wuzun Sword Slashes The Vault Of Heaven: Wudao Vault of Heaven."
Countless curious readers clicked on the advertisements, and after taking a few glances, they were satisfied with what they saw. "Mm, these book recommendations are not bad. It's quite good to kill time. This Feng Yun website is quite brilliant!"
Of course, there were those unimpressed as well. "Tsk, such a tacky way of promoting books. Now that there is the smartphone reading app produced by Young Master Hong Dali, who would still want to read these. Zhong Dian website is the king!"
…
On Xinhai Weibo—
Drunk and leaning on the fence of the pavilion, Meng Ziying Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novel 'Yifan's trouble' is very well written. I like how Yifan bullies Shaowan, serves him right for bullying Xiaochao… Mm, amusing as usual, this work is quite good." 
Douban Doujiao Doubao Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novels are quite good. I read novels there the whole day today. The books are not bad! Worth taking a look at them, I strongly recommend!
@Tangdou-like unlucky person: Feng Yun website is not bad, quickly gather and take a look @Dark Building Lonely Spirit 
@Dark Night Vigilante 
@Zuiyu Changwan_Shifu Calls Me Xiaowan @Muying Huange_Little Angel Of The Wolf Master 
@Fleeting Time At Finger Tips."
"Feng Yun website rises strongly, regarding the rise of online literature."—Soulang.
"Earth-shaking big scheme, about the counterattack of Feng Yun website."—Easy Net.
"Small online novel, big wealth! Feng Yun website's powerful rise!"—Dongfang Wealth.
"Read novels, go to Feng Yun website. Write novels, still go to Feng Yun website."—Tianjing's Plaza.
…
In the various readers' group chats.
"These two days, there are so many free books to read on Feng Yun website. I've discovered a few good ones."
"Really, then I'll go and take a look too."
"Of course it's true, it writes that the books are free of charge for a limited period of time!"
"Not bad, not bad. This website is doing pretty well!"
…
On the largest local online novel forum.
"Overwhelming amount of subscriptions! Feng Yun website with all kinds of awesomeness!"
"Zhong Dian or Feng Yun? A newbie feels that Feng Yun is still better!"
"Please help, a newcomer wanting to know whether it's better to go to Feng Yun or Zhong Dian? I personally feel that Feng Yun is better, I can earn quick money."
"Zhong Dian wants to defeat Feng Yun just by relying on a smartphone app, does Feng Yun know about this?"
…
At the TV station.
"Hello, hello, as a Great God-level author on Feng Yun website, may I know how much can your monthly earnings reach?"
"Earnings, this… Around 20 to 30 thousand per month is still fine."
"So much? Then you must be one of those people with the highest earnings on Feng Yun website, right?"
"No! How is it possible that my earnings are so high. My fingers are not nimble, so I type considerably slower. We have people who can type fast and are able to write 10 to 20 thousand words per day, and their remuneration is at least 50 thousand and above per month. There are even people earning 100 thousand!"
"So much?!"
"Yes, Feng Yun website's perks are very good."
…
In Tianjing City, the tallest television tower, in the top floor revolving restaurant.
"Young Master, Chief, the latest totaled reports of Feng Yun website are out!" The bodyguard was shivering with fear as he looked at Shiroishi Kazuma whose back was facing him and was standing in front of the window with his hands placed at his back. This time, he really saluted him. "According to the latest reports, currently, the site traffic of the website has already increased to 2.4 million and above for daily independent IPs. These two days, large batches of newcomers have started writing new books, and the number of updated books in three days have already reached 3,600 books!" 
"So fast!" Ko Gohon exclaimed, "Uncle Kazuma, your idea is really useful!"
"So-so." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm. "How many daily updated books does Zhong Dian website have now?"
"Chief," The bodyguard's expression and voice were filled with respect. "At the moment, there are approximately 4,500 newly updated books daily."
"Mm, we still lack 900 books." Shiroishi Kazuma said with satisfaction, "It's still within our control. If things continue progressing this way, probably in no time, we will be able to overtake Zhong Dian website. After all, the authors are after all the benefits and perks. As long as there is enough advertising, and the money is sufficient, it's not difficult to attract authors over."
Ko Gohon fully looked up to Shiroishi Kazuma now, as he anxiously asked, "Uncle Kazuma, then, do we continue like this? Why don't I get more ghostwriters to write more books? It's fine as long as it can surpass Hong Dali. I don't plan to earn much money from it."
Upon hearing Ko Gohon's words, Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head and slowly said, "No, if Hong Dali can earn money, why can't we?"
"Ah?" Ko Gohon said in surprise, "Uncle Kazuma, you're planning to… seriously run this Feng Yun website?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded, yet he didn't continue talking about the novel website but instead looked out of the window, saying, "Young Master Gohon, look at the night view of Tianjing City. How beautiful is it? It's not lacking compared to Tokyo in our Jaban Empire, isn't it?" 
It was night right now. The night view of Tianjing City was extremely beautiful. Neon lights were flashing, and it was especially comfortable to stand from high up and look down, coupled with the gentle night breeze.
"It's very pretty." Ko Gohon agreed. "I haven't really noticed it previously."
"Yes, we haven't noticed it previously." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm, as he slowly stated, "It's the same for our Toyoda Conglomerate. As the top 16 in the world, the funds of our Toyoda Conglomerate are ample. You normally don't care about this, so you won't care about how much money you spend. You just feel that all the money is there for you to take it."
"I understand, Uncle Kazuma." Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly understood what Shiroishi Kazuma meant.
Actually, he wasn't a stupid person. It was just that in the midst of fighting with Hong Dali, he had always been at the losing end, thus his conflicted mind.
Toyoda Conglomerate was indeed very rich. Just like the night view of Tianjing City, though it was pretty, one wouldn't notice it after looking at it for many times. But no matter how rich it was, after all, it had been built up bit by bit, and it didn't just drop down from the sky.
In that case, as long as they properly operated this Feng Yun website, then they could earn money. So why don't they do it properly and well?
"Uncle Kazuma, what should we do next?" Ko Gohon asked.
"Now since the popularity has already been increased, then next, we'll take in all the good ones and eliminate the bad ones." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "Eliminate all those poor-quality books and get them to finish writing them as soon as possible. Secure those good-quality books and do your best in nurturing their authors. At the same time, slightly change the welfare benefits policy and slowly convert the severance method to giving out dividends. After the novel website has entered a stable phase of operation, it would then be a virtuous cycle." 
"Uncle Kazuma, you are brilliant!" Ko Gohon was elated. "Then, after the website has entered a virtuous cycle, we can earn quite a lot of money, right?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma smiled. "Don't belittle online novel websites. All the profits from the adaptations of films, online games, merchandises and so on are actually huge. I truly admire Hong Dali. The things started up by this lad truly have very big prospects!" 
"After hearing what Uncle Kazuma just said, I realized that this Hong Dali is very brilliant!" Now, Ko Gohon finally had to admit that Hong Dali was indeed brilliant. "I haven't thought about all this!"
Speaking up to this point, Ko Gohon recalled his bet with Hong Dali. "But Uncle Kazuma, my bet with Hong Dali…"
"Hehe, there's no hurry on that." Shiroishi Kazuma wasn't worried at all about the bet and insipidly said, "Since I've come, of course I have a way to help you win. Wait for a few more days, let's see first whether Hong Dali's side makes any moves."
Shiroishi Kazuma assured Ko Gohon, then instructed him, "Remember, leave your trump card for the last. Don't take them all out at once. Or else, what will you have left to fight him by then?"
"I understand!" This time, Ko Gohon was really convinced. "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Kazuma."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


After several hours, Zhou Lei stopped typing. His fingers were exhausted. He removed his Idea Glasses for fear that they might give him ideas that were too good to not resume typing!

He turned his head down and looked at his hands. Both of them were reddish, swelling and shivering. 

"Ahh, this was too hard. Is there something to alleviate this pain, System?"

"Shop Category locked. Host, please spin the roulette first and get [Medicine] category."

"Eh, later," Zhou Lei unenthusiastically replied. 

He looked at the document. At the bottom left corner, it said: 400,051 words. He then turned his attention to the time. It was 4:32 pm. He remembered that he woke up on 12:29 nn.

The first time he typed, he typed for four hours, and he got himself 40,000 words, and thus, 20 chapters.

This time, he typed for four hours as well, but he got ten times more words, 400,000, and thus, ten times more chapters, 200.

Almost the same amount of time, yet the number of words was drastically different!

"What made this dramatic change?" Zhou Lei thought. "Is it because I was so pumped up earlier?"

Whatever it was, he didn't care. What he cared about was the fact that he had typed more than 400,000 words in only four hours!

Is that even possible?!

I don't think so!

Me neither!

Eh, who are you?

No one!

Uhh...

Anyways!

He already decided on releasing every single one today. 

On his first twenty chapters, only five were out. That meant that there were still 15 chapters in the previous stockpile. Add to that the recently made 200 chapters, and the novel was already a really long one!

"Hehehe, I only needed 5 chapters, but I ended up with 195 more than needed... I'm too hardworking!" Zhou Lei said.

A System prompt appeared in front of Zhou Lei as he said that.

Quest: Be modense

Description: In all of the Japanese novels, the dense but modest main character always gets all of the girls. This is the way to be popular.

Reward: 1 Mind-Controlling Cube, 10 upgrade points

Zhou Lei was confused for two reasons.

"Eh, System, didn't I turn off notifications?" he asked.

"Host, this is a quest and therefore cannot be turned off," System answered.

"Oh... then why did you show me this quest again? I already know about it," Zhou Lei asked.

"Host, please be conscious of your actions, as they were in conflict with the quest earlier," System answered again.

"Ahh, what conflict? I didn't do anything that was not modest, did I?" Zhou Lei replied.

"Host, please listen," System said before playing a recording.

"I'm too hardworking!" the recording said before it stopped abruptly.

"..."

"..."

"...What, that's it?" Zhou Lei was dumbfounded.

"Yes, host. Please refrain from doing such acts in the future," System advised Zhou Lei.

"Err, okay then." Zhou Lei didn't think this was that big of a matter.

He then copied and pasted every single chapter into separate ones, after which he published them immediately. Doing this took a whole 30 minutes.

"This took too long, man..." Zhou Lei complained.

.....

On Webnovel.com.

The Power Rankings were always in a fixed state for the past few months. The top three was comprised of "Library of Purgatory's Path", followed by "Half Marks Completely Visible Marriage", and then "The Queen's Avatar". These three frequently mixed positions with each other, but none ever stepped outside the top three.

This status quo was maintained until two days ago when a Level 5 user published a novel called "Conqueror of the Realms", which blew up upon release.

The whole landscape was changed!

The one on top was not a contracted novel, which meant that it was absolutely free for anyone to read! The rest on the top 10 of the Power Rankings were all premium and needed payment before one was granted access to read.

The reviews on the novel were sparkling!

With more than a thousand reviews and counting, the 4.9-star rating was very impressive.

People all over the internet were talking about it. It actually gave Webnovel.com a lot more exposure!

They came for "Conqueror of the Realms", but they discovered that the other novels were, although not even in the same league as the former, at the very least, entertaining to read!

With only 5 chapters out, it had already captivated the hearts of almost every reader on Webnovel.com.

The comments section on the latest chapter.

[Ah, I don't want to know what will happen to his father :']
[Is this gonna be like those cliche novels? Im still in tho if it is]
[That cliff man, it's depressing]
[LOL "Everyone spit blood, enough to form a river" LOL]
They eagerly waited for the second chapter of the day.

A student in school was listening to class diligently.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and everyone's attention was directed toward him. He smiled awkwardly and took his phone out. He looked at his phone and saw a notification from the Webnovel.com app.

"Conqueror of the Realms released a new chapter 6, First Realm Problems".

"Yes, Chapter 6 is out...," said the student as he tapped the notification and prepared to read it.

The teacher noticed that the student was still using his phone and gently cleared her throat.

The student quickly realized and smiled again, but this time, he put the phone back in his pocket.

It rang again.

"Ah.... wait, let me set it to silent," the student declared as he took out his phone again and tapped on the speaker icon until it went from "Sound", to "Vibrate", and finally, "Silent".

After that, he looked at the notification that caused his phone to ring. 

"Conqueror of the Realms released 2 new chapters".

"Ooh, two new chapters." The student was visibly pleased when he saw the notification.

Suddenly, another one appeared.

"Conqueror of the Realms released 3 new chapters".

Then another one, then another, and another!

"Conqueror of the Realms released 4 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 5 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 6 new chapters".
...
"Conqueror of the Realms released 213 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 214 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 215 new chapters".

The student ended up falling into a daze.

A mass release of 215 f**king chapters?!

What the f**k?!

After a realization of his irrelevance, Zhou Lei gets a life-changing system that enables him to redeem himself - in the most attention-catching way possible!

"System, I said to upgrade my intelligence."
"Are you sure you want to upgrade: Appearance?"
"I already said no!"
"Upgrade processing..."

It was natural for the metamorphosing red reiki to have a higher quality than white reiki during the Foundation Establishment Stage. From training the body to expanding the sea of reiki to drawing talismans, the red reiki was infinitely more powerful than the white reiki. Its strength was simply on another level.
However, after Akie Hanzawa had fulfilled his obsessiveness, the remaining amount of reiki was too massive. It would be impossible to assimilate it with the white reiki in his body. Kazuki was worried that the white reiki in his body would instead consume the red reiki.
Then, the red reiki traveled towards the sea of reiki. With the sea of reiki as its center, it flowed to every part of Kazuki's body. Suddenly, the red reiki coursed through his every vein and expanded his sea of reiki.
When the red reiki had washed over his whole body, it gradually disappeared. Kazuki was not disappointed with the results. He could not possibly stop cultivating to preserve the red reiki. After he had calmed down, he proceeded to cultivate with the help of the Sun and Moon Sword… A few minutes later, faint red reiki appeared in the sea of reiki, thus surprising Kazuki.
Did the red reiki assimilate with the white reiki in the body? With this in mind, Kazuki sped up the absorption of the reiki… For nearly an hour, he absorbed the reiki with the assistance of the Sun and Moon Sword.
The reiki absorbed from the world was naturally white and transparent before reaching the Metamorphosis Stage. However, when this white reiki was absorbed into the sea of reiki, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred as it accumulated.
These white reiki accumulated, merged, and shrank in the sea of reiki. Then, faint red reiki reappeared in the sea of reiki. No matter how much reiki he absorbed from heaven and earth, he could not expand the red reiki anymore.
Kazuki let out a sigh and exhaled a wisp of thin air. It flew for a short distance before dissipating.
"I am in the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage now," Kazuki uttered. He was not overjoyed because the result was expected. The reiki from Akie Hanzawa was enough for him to enter the second level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. From the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Core Formation Stage, the cultivation would progress at the speed of light if there was sufficient reiki.
In the past, there was a cultivation genius in the Spiritual Academy's combat class. The Metamorphosis Stage took him three days, and only 10 days were required for him to enter the Core Formation Stage. Within a month, he had reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage. He remained there for five years before finally entering the Golden Core Stage.
Kazuki looked inside at the sea of reiki and discovered red reiki hovering around. Its size was similar to the red reiki left behind by Akie Hanzawa, and it had not grown even though his limits were expanded.
"It seems like… the amount of red reiki formed by the apparition, and then created in the sea of reiki remains unchanged, no matter how much it is absorbed." Kazuki was not disappointed, because this was an unexpected reward. Instead, he was baffled to know that reiki formed from a dissipated apparition was red in color. It was quite a surprise.
He had minimal experience, he did not know if all spirits were similar. The quality of the reiki from each dissipated apparition might differ, so he would need to observe further.
However, the ancient Cultivators had never recorded this phenomenon. Had they not seen it before? Or maybe… They might have encountered it, but they kept it a secret. They would only reveal the secrets to their successors.
Kazuki was more inclined to believe in the latter.
The Cultivators never mentioned it even after the recuperation of the reiki era. The library had no records too. They didn't need to fulfil an apparition's obsessiveness or absorb the reiki formed after they dissipated. It was simply not necessary for them.
Kazuki pondered for a moment and picked up his phone to look at the time. He found that Chiba Shiori had sent him a message.
"What is your Line ID? I'll invite you to the group ヾ(*?▽'*)?."
"Hello, hello? Why are you not answering me? ((?(//?Д/?/)?))"
The two messages were sent half an hour apart, and the latest one was sent two minutes ago.
Line was the 'Japanese WeChat,' and this application was already installed in Kazuki's phone. He had not logged into Line for a year, but he still remembered his account's password.
After logging into his account, he sent his ID to Chiba Shiori.
"I'll add you (??ω`?)." Chiba Shiori wrote back within seconds.
The group messaging function of Line was different from Huaxia's QQ group or WeChat group. You could apply for them if you had the ID number of the group. Line's group was more similar to the QQ discussion group, whereby only the people you knew could invite you.
Kazuki's used his username 'Magician' as he was immediately invited into a group called 'Light Novel Space.'
"Oh! Oh! New fellow, welcome!"
"Are you a big brother or a big sister?"
"A new member actually joined this old group?"
"It was an invitation from Word Temple-kun…what a surprise."
'Light Fiction Space' had been created for a few years, it was not as lively as the other new groups. After some time, only about 30 people were left, and most of them were older. It was not uncommon to find thousands of new messages every day, as almost everyone was a light novel author. They might be introverts outside the online world, but each of them was a keyboard warrior on the internet.
They were very welcoming to the new member, as this group had not received any newcomers for half a year. Thus, Kazuki received a warm welcome when he joined the group. Some of them proceeded to ask him what works had he written.
"I'm just an amateur. I have been studying how to write novels recently. I hope that I can learn from my seniors if I joined this group," Kazuki kept a low profile, as he was not really a light novelist. He had joined the group to investigate Chiyoko. Presumably, she was a teacher of the fourth class of the second grade in Akichi High School. Thus, it was vital to remain inconspicuous.
"You must be very talented if Word Temple-Kun invited you. Word Temple-Kun published the first novel that 'he' wrote, and even rejected the idea of holding a fan-sign event for 'him.' @YanSiJun, show yourself! You should introduce the person you invited."
As he looked at 'him,' Kazuki realized that the people in the group did not know that Chiba Shiori was a lady.
"Oh, that novel of mine was mediocre. Why should I hold a fansign event? I would be so embarrassed if no one came (｀д′)." Chiba Shiori was relieved no one rejected Kazuki. She rolled in her bed in her pyjamas and laid on her stomach, with both her feet in the air. "Don't worry. The new person I brought in is very talented, but he is still learning. Everyone, please take good care of him (?????)."
Chiba Shiori was quite popular as she was one of the oldest members of the group. The usual lurkers in the group started typing as well when they saw her reply.
"Don't worry. Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the future."
"Troubled Woman-Kun, you should first take care of yourself. Didn't you say that your editor returned your manuscript several times?"
"I knew it was you from how you write. It is indeed Troubled Woman-Kun bragging when I look."
"How dare the oldest newcomer reappear, have you forgotten your gambling agreement with Chiyoko? XDDDD"
"@Magician. Hi newcomer. I'll give you a suggestion since you are still learning to write novels. If you understand Chinese, you can read the online novels written by Huaxia… Someone in the industry read a Huaxia's online novel called 'Rebirth of the Magic Age' and borrowed its ideas for his novel. Now, the novel is published and even animated."
"I've read the novel before, it had no meaningful content… I have no idea why it became so famous."
"It was indeed hollow, but it raked in a lot of money. I am extremely envious! If I understood Chinese, I would also read Huaxia's web novels for reference."
"Ugh… I heard that 'Rebirth of the Magic Era' was written by Huaxia about six to seven years ago…"
"Looks like it is time to learn Mandarin!"
Kazuki observed silently as the group members chattered away. He did not type anything because he did not know what to say. He was a newcomer, after all. Would it be a good idea to ask everyone questions about Chiyoko right away? They would probably kick me out of the group…
Chiyoko did not speak even though he waited for half a day, but he decided against privately messaging her. He was in no rush. After all, he had all the time in the world.


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.

In a seamlessly dark void you could see a white wisp moving in a straight line as if it's the only thing it knows to do. An unknown amount of time has passed yet the white wisp still shines ever brightly as if it can't find a source of warmth and light it will be the source of its own yearning

[MC POV]

As Jin was walking/floating with no goal or purpose he thinks to himself 'Hmmm… what is the purpose of me idling by in this seamless void is there no one else here'
*sighs* "Ah my boy... Kuro I hope you are doing well"
Whilst Jin was walking some more he feels sudden warmth envelop him.                                               

"Hmmm… Sweet bliss"

-[Host has been chosen Syncing system with soul 10%... 30%... 50%... 70%… 90%...]- (AN: System's Voice is 2B's voice from Nier:Automata btw)

"W-WHAT Whose speaking!"

-[100% SYNCED]-
-[Congratulations for being chosen as the Host and owner of The Traveler System]-

"System?... Like those in them novels me and my son reads?"

-[Yes Jin-sama, I am like those system but real]-

"I see…"

While Jin was deep in his thoughts the system prompt him a question.

-[Does Jin-sama wish to name me?]-

"huh… ah sure, You will be named after my late wife Alice since we'll be together in this lifetime of mine"

-[Registering new name Alice… 40%... 80%... 100%...]-
-[Hidden Quest : Naming the System (Success)]-
-Rewards-
-[5x Mystery Box, 500 – SP, 1x Divine Whetstone(Infinite)]-

"hmmm… I see so I'll be able to do quests and hidden quests too huh… Interesting" While he was talking to himself the system gave him another Prompt 

-[Does Jin-sama wish to proceed to 'Travel'?]-

"By Travel do you mean different worlds?" –[Yes Jin-sama but before we travel You must choose a category of world travel]-

"Show me the categories" –[Certainly Jin-sama]-

-[World Travel Categories]-
  -Anime
  -Games
  -TV Shows
  -Movies
  -Novels
  -???

"Alice what is that last one it's just question marks"

-[Jin-sama must travel a number of worlds before host unlocks the last category]-

"I see… , Alice will I be able to travel back to my world"

-[I'm afraid not Jin-sama]-

"I Thought as much. When I choose a category do I just pick a world from them or is it random?"

-[ it will randomly pick from the 5 latest viewed under chosen category by jin-sama]-

"Understood… Alice choose 'Games'"

-[Category Chosen. Choosing world…]-
-[World Has been chosen. Before Jin-sama is transported to the chosen world]-
-[Jin-sama must create a body]-

"Ok show me the character creation screen"

When Jin finished speaking a dark transparent screen appeared before with all character customization aspects possible from color of each strand of hair in his legs all the way to which color of blood he has in his system.

"This is very… Intricate" (AN: You mean extra right?)

A few hours since Jin started making his body for himself he finally finished
"Done! Hehehe" Jin's Body had a height of 6'2 like his previous body Perfect muscles perfect face he has grey hair that is tied up onto a ponytail and one short braid at the right side of his face. (AN: Basically Sephiroth with clouds outfit from advent children and the ponytail and braid)

-[Body Created syncing soul with body… Synced]-

"Alice proceed to the world"

-[Permission Received 'Traveling' To world, Process may take a while]-

"I see, What world are we traveling to Alice?"
The moment he finished speaking a screen showed itself in front of Jin when he was registering what world he was going to he raised an eyebrow


"Well This is… Interesting"

A Man who has done all he could for his country his family his friends and for his beliefs. Finally he can rest... [Say sike right now]

In an extremely remote place ....

Leonard was riding the dark nimbus with the sun overhead .. Scorching heat in the middle of the day..

'So much to bear for a remote place '
But it's still worth it since I don't want an oolong to pop outta nowhere and wish for panties...
It's better this way ~

I arranged the dragon balls in the preset order
And said the three magical words 

"Come forth , Shenron"

~....a few moments later 

Wait aren't those the words ... Hmm maybe because this dragon Ball's have yet to undergo upgrades and stuff yea...must be 

So what are the words ... uhh I remember

It  was "Arise..Wise eternal Dragon .. and hear the wish of he who summons you"

'Clearly this is one narcissistic dragon who doesn't know that he is very weak since the power of dragon ball depends on that of creator... When kami became the guardian of earth with power level of 230 .
I can easily destroy you with a finger..

While Leonard was cringing on dragon the hexagonal dragon balls started pulsing releasing a strong golden light which rushed into the sky and started gathering a vortex of black clouds


A bright sunny day ... Now it's looks like a Storm is about to let loose .
A deep voice grumbled
"Are you the one who summons me? What is your wish" in the dark clouds A dragon Shenron has appeared with cool background of lighting and black clouds .

Okay your entrance is pretty cool .....⊙.☉

Leo:"Dragon ,I have come to bargain" 

Shenron:"One wish...Nothing more Nothing less"

Leo:*awkward silence....*

Shenron:" If you have no wishes then I will disperse....it's difficult to maintain this form"

Damn you Dragon....

"I wish for saiyan bloodline.. I wish to become a saiyan"

"hmm... Saiyan.... Difficult.." Shenron frowned while looking confused.. 

"Even if I grant you the bloodline of a Saiyan.. Your human body will be incompatible with the saiyan part ... Saiyan cells in particular will reject the human cells and destroy them which will erupt throughout your body ... DEATH is the only outcome.."

"Then turn me into Saiyan- human hybrid" Gohan kid was pretty op against cell right?..if not a full blood saiyan then half saiyan is fine too..

"If you do not wish to give up on such wished then you should go to stronger Dragon balls and then wish for it "

AN « Even Zamasu had too wish for super dragon balls to get the body of a Saiyan it's unlikely for Earth dragon balls to achieve the same flawless effect... And if you question my  
Cellular theory of eruption then in my defenses saiyan race is a race of fighters same is with their cells .. If the cells do not accept each other then it will deteriorate leading to collapse of organ kinda similar to organe transplant ....In case of Gohan he was born in a very natural way and ChiChi was not exactly a weak mortal as she's stood at power level of >1000 in later arcs ~»



"In that case I wish for a healthy body that is immune to all diseases and viruses....."
My body was bathed in a golden light ....so warm and comfy....some black smoke rose from my body.

"Heart virus!" Even Goku didn't survive that...
Finally a latent problem is resolved.
Probably came from the divine water.
Divine water is highly poisonous and has mysterious origins itself. It is very likely to be the one who is the root of this problem..


"Your wish is fullfilled" Shenron couldn't wait to disappear. Clouds dispersed and dragon balls went from gold shiny state to grey rock like state.

Dragonballs  started to pulsate, hexagonal formation glowed white ...
Isn't this the moment where they randomly shootout in weird places ...

Shit ! Butterfly effect will screw me up if this happens.

«Thunder Shock Surprise» I speard out the technique into a fishnet style to catch all the dragon balls..
I have to carefully send them back to where they appeared originally.

Tiresome work.. I have to cover my own track to prevent sending horrible repercussions of my own actions.

Troublesome.(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻


It's difficult without saiyan bloodline the DBZ universe will eat me alive with all the power leveling of Goku and other saiyans...＼(◎o◎)／
*Sigh*

Let's check up on Dr Briefs .. the spaceship is last bet to go for Namek if not I would have to wait for another year....

.....................

Somewhere on earth

Finally free of my duties.. 
Let me check what's the latest novel....oh there's a lot of new novels.
..hm how dare you author drop my favourite novels....
There's a new thing called web series Not bad....
Let me get a tub of popcorns and coke..~

A dragon was having fun .... 
Free of worries ..

*Burp*

Monday. 
Li Lanni's class had successfully completed the first volume of the comic they were drawing.
Today, they started the second volume. 
As usual, after the lecture was done, the professor asked them to draw the comics for the second volume based on the story they were asked to read. While they were doing so, the professor walked around the classroom, silently assessing the comics made by the students. 
'This batch of students have improved a lot' the professor was delighted when he saw the paintings. Each one of them was unique and creative.
But then he stopped next to Li Lanni with a frown when he saw her painting. This girl… 
To avoid making her feel humiliated, he waited until the class ended, then called her to his office and questioned her. "Have you really read the novel and understood it?" 
Li Lanni nodded, wondering why he would ask such a question. They were in the second volume already. Wasn't that a given? 
"Really? I don't think you have really understood it enough. Because if you had, you would know that the novel is quite a happy one. Your comic wouldn't hold such darkness." 
Darkness? Li Lanni thought back to her comic. 
"It is easier for people who have read the original novel to overlook such a plot error. However, new readers will misunderstand it. As I said before, you should put yourself into character every time you make a sketch. Also, this is not the only problem I have noticed in your drafts. I am disappointed to say this, but your performance has significantly deteriorated since you first joined the class. While the others are improving, you are seriously lagging behind. Are you experiencing some problems? If you have some problems, you can share it with me." Though his words were condemning, his voice was gentle.
"No…" Li Lanni frowned, all this seeming new to her. When had she not put herself into character? 
"I will not take up too much of your time, but I haven't expected this results from you, who hwas the grand winner in the previous painting contest. Go on and think about it." The tutor said with a gentle smile. He hesitantly added, "You should know that no matter how much effort you put in something if you are being forced into it, all your efforts will be futile." 
"Thank you, sir. However, I'm not being forced into anything. I willingly joined this class." 
When Li Lanni left his office, the first thing she did was open her locker and take out all the drafts to take a look. These were just copies, she kept the originals at home but had copies in the studio locker for reference. 
She checked through them from the first chapter. At first, there wasn't any change. But from the fourth chapter, she began to notice that what the tutor had said was true. Seriously, if one were to see her latest chapter, there was no one would believe that she had joined the class by winning a contest. 
More importantly, it looked like the story had strayed from the original. If the dialogue were to be added, it was sure that it would look misplaced. 
But hadn't she been working hard? 
What went wrong?
___
Later in the afternoon,
Ji Xiehan completed his work earlier, pushed the less urgent documents aside before leaving his office. He would work on them later at night.
After asking Lin Jian and being laughed at for half an hour, he finally got his way around finding the least frequented movie theater. He had selected a popular movie more suitable for female audiences and booked tickets. 
All the previous times, he had got her to go out with him using schemes and tricks. This was the first time she had willingly agreed to go somewhere with him. This should be considered their first official date, right? 
So he followed Lin Jian's advice and found a present. He already had one; the bracelet he had bought her when they went shopping but didn't have the chance to give it to her. 
He wore the watch that was a match with it and took the bracelet with him. 
Feeling more confident, he let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding and went to pick Li Lanni up. 
The girl didn't make him wait too long. Two minutes after he sent her a text, he saw her exit the villa, wearing a blue dress that matched the color of his tie. 
He couldn't help smiling. What a sweet coincidence. 
"Did I keep you waiting?" She asked, her eyes staying on his tie for a few seconds. 
"No. I just arrived. You look beautiful." 
She blushed and unknowingly tightened her fists. "T-thank you." She had dressed up for him. It would be disappointing if she didn't look beautiful. She was happy that he liked it, and was even more pleased that their clothes were a complementing match. They looked just like a couple in love. Though she refused to accept it, she was delighted inside.
Once they were at the movies, he went ahead to buy snacks as she waited for him. "I booked tickets for a teenage drama 'Our Youthful Love.' I didn't know what kind of movies you liked, so I asked some of my female colleagues, and everyone said this was a nice one." He informed. 
"Haha…" When Li Lanni heard him say, she broke into a peal of laughter.
"What's so funny?" he was puzzled by her sudden laughter. 
Li Lanni burst into another round of laughter. "Haha..oh my god...haha..I can't control myself ..haha..Your face when you said the name of the movie was amusing." 
Ji Xiehan laughed at himself too. It was just that he was a little unsure. After buying the tickets for the teenage drama, he only later realized that it was full of fluffy romance. Then he remembered that when they talked about online novels, she mentioned a few that she liked. Those were all detective novels, and even if there were some romance ones, the main theme was a crime. 
Most people liked the same genre of movies and novels, so she should like detective and mystery, right?
But then again, she played otome games once in a while. So he didn't know whether to change the tickets or not. 
Li Lanni figured out why he was confused. She felt happy that he prioritized her choice. "I'm not really picky with what I read or watch. I only do it to pass the time, so you should have chosen what you like instead." 
"Then let's watch the teenage drama. I've never watched one before." He happily led the way, and she instinctively clung to his arm because he had popcorn and coke in both hands. 
They took a seat close to the front. They were quite early, so there were only a handful of people aside from them.


"Little troubleshooter, we meet again. If you are still thinking of trying to get away, you better give up that silly idea." Ji Xiehan said, pinning her against the wall. 
Li Lanni pushed her fists against his chest. "Is this how you say hi to all your interviewers, Mr. Ji?" 
"There is no interviewer and certainly no interviewee." The man grinned devilishly. "There is only a husband and a wife. My darling, how are you going to compensate for all the emotional damage you caused me by slipping away?" 
"What?" Heavens... just what had she gotten herself into?
...
Her life almost came to an end because of a tragic accident but instead, she lost her memory. 
Who would have thought that just when she she was starting to get used to her new life, she would get trapped in a whirlwind engagement? 

Out of all kinds of injustice fate could do to her, why did her fiancé have to be that white-haired pervert?! 

" You better not fall in love with me!" she snarled at the man grinning before her. 
Ji Xiehan's smile deepened. "Are you... kidding me? Why would I fall in love with you?" 
Li Lanni: "You better mark your words." 
The man grinned. Of course I will not fall in love with a woman I already love. I'm keeping my promise, right?
Ji Xiehan took up the challenge to crawl into her heart.
