The absurd adventure story of Ian, a wizard in a medieval fantasy world.

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

Ye Feng was transported to a cultivation world, but unfortunately had no hope of cultivating immortality and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life.... more>>

Yet he didn't know—

The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king.

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it.

The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.

Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds.

Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along... <<less

In the Credion Empire, where I was taken as a hostage, I encountered these small beings, and their earnest plea was so cute that I agreed to grant their request.

What came out was none other than a pickaxe.

“This is a noble pickaxe, blessed by Goddess Terra! Now, Stella, you too can become a noble farmer!”

Farming, of all things. Despite being a bastard, Stella had always been far removed from such pursuits and simply shook her head, dismissing the idea.

Yet, as time passed, she increasingly found herself drawn to the pickaxe, and it seemed as if the garden beyond was calling out to her.

Strange, why do I suddenly want to farm?

Kai, who had been solely focused on expanding his territory, had never found interest in anything else.

One day, he stumbled upon a mysterious field in a secluded corner of the imperial palace, and drawn by an inexplicable fragrance, he was compelled to approach.

What he found there was… none other than carrots?

“Why are there carrots here…”

“What, were you hungry? You look like a low-ranking knight, you can take that carrot and eat it.”

Charmed by the sight of the unfamiliar woman, who spoke kindly while holding a pickaxe, Kai involuntarily took a carrot and ate it.

That night, “What’s with that carrot… Why can’t I stop thinking about it?” <<less

Lian Xing fainted on the spot from anger.

Haruka, a high schooler who spends his life as a “loner,” is suddenly summoned to another world with his classmates.

Noticing the god in front of him, Haruka was going to get cheat abilities by picking what he wanted from the skill list so that he could live in the other world――or so he thought, but the skills were first come, first serve.

All the cheat skills were taken by my classmates?!

After not being able to get any amazing skills, Haruka’s “loner” skill made him unable to join any parties. Even in another world, he’ll adventure in solitude.

Haruka, recognizing the crisis of his classmates, decided to secretly help them out while not relying on cheats. He’ll surpass cheats as he walks the path of the strongest――.

A bittersweet love story between a monster with unusual fɛtⁱshɛs and a fragile human woman.

Shen Liuxiang stayed up all night reading a novel about a white lotus protagonist shou and his easy road to power. Having finished it, he thumped his chest and stomped his foot in unhappiness. ... more>>

In the novel, there was a villainous shizun who shared his name.

He was as beautiful as a flower, but would rather ruin his own looks to imitate others.

He was infatuated with the Bingshan Sword Venerable, who had his heart set on the protagonist shou. Foolish and shameless, he continued to entangle with and chase after the other.

He severed his connection to his father, the Venerable Emperor, and renounced his ties to his senior brother in the Sect. He fought to the death with his blood brother, the Demon Venerable.

For the Sword Venerable, he was even willing to get rid of his toughest rival-in-love—his own disciple, who would later become number one in the cultivation world!

After going to sleep, Shen Liuxiang woke up to find himself transmigrated as the villain Shizun in the book.

"Strive to look like the protagonist shou? Wake up, this immortal is the most beautiful in the world!"

"Sword Venerable, who? Is he stronger than my father, the Venerable Emperor?! Is he more handsome than my senior brother in the Sect?! Is he fiercer than my blood brother, Demon Venerable?!”

Facing the protagonist's greatest backer in the future, Zhou Xuanlan, Shen Liuxiang decided to grab onto the opportunity, seize his good fortune, and stifle the danger in the cradle.

However, his disciple was too well-behaved.

"All spiritual treasures in heaven and on earth belong to Shizun. All ancient relics belong to Shizun. This disciple also belongs to Shizun."

Shen Liuxiang: "...Alright, I’ll give you a chance QAQ"

Initially an indifferent shizun, Shen Liuxiang slowly became fiercely protective of his disciple. His disciple, in turn, was upright, righteous, and increasingly loyal towards him. However, right at this time, Shen Liuxiang miscalculated. The Zhou Xuanlan from the original novel had returned!

"Shizun has changed so much," the man spoke with a dangerous air, hugging him from behind, the low voice resounding right beside his ear, “but I like it very much."

Shen Liuxiang cried. He wanted his obedient disciple back! <<less

*Sigh* “Another day with 0 viewers and only 3 subscribers… Am I just not cut out for this, I wonder…”... more>>

Karlin Yamada, a high school girl who streamed dungeon exploration, was on the brink of losing hope.

Inspired by elegant explorer characters from anime, she had started her channel a year ago as a noble lady conquering dungeons in a dress. Yet, whether due to her concept or her videos lacking entertainment value, despite her potential as an explorer, her channel remained stagnant.

One day, while exploring the lower levels of a dungeon, Karlin spotted a peculiar man.

“Well, I’m gonna set off an explosion now~”

In his hand was a dangerous substance prohibited by the country, on the verge of ignition—

“What the heck are you doing? Geeez!”

Her ladylike demeanor forgotten, she delivered a swift punch. Along with her scolding, she promptly rendered the man unconscious.

“It’s fortunate I ended the stream before this. I can’t possibly broadcast such an indecent scene,” Karlin mused, carrying the man outside and taking him home.

However, behind the scenes…

“Who’s that high-and-mighty rich girl!?”

“Why did the rising star explorer get knocked around unilaterally!?”

“Seriously, why’s she wearing a dress in the lower levels!?”

“Isn’t she completely nuts!?”

The man Karlin had dealt with was a notorious troublemaking dungeon streamer. Her action of physically stopping his dangerous behavior was globally broadcasted. The video of the young, promising explorer being lectured by a mysterious young lady started going viral. Karlin’s account was swiftly identified due to her accidental failure to end the stream. By the next morning, she unwittingly became a legend.

In this manner, Karlin’s extraordinary strength and exceptional feats gained exposure and continued to trend. Her popularity and influence transcended the boundaries of streaming, evolving into something much bigger. <<less

Liu Zhenqing was a notorious powerful official in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.... more>>

It was rumored that he was ruthless, brought trouble to the Imperial Court, used the young emperor as a puppet, and had a disloyal heart.

However, heaven had eyes. In the end, Liu Zhenqing was shot through the heart by an arrow and died tragically.

No one could calculate how many sins he had committed. They only knew that after his death, a victim dug up his grave in the middle of the night, crushed his bones, and scattered his ashes.

After his death, Liu Zhenqing reflected on himself. He, a transmigrator, had been reborn as the favored eldest son of a prominent noble family. How had he become a treacherous official?

It was probably because he worked too hard.

He swore that in his next life, he would treat himself well. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he became a distant relative of the same clan eight years later.

Although he was still the eldest son, he was a love-minded cutsleeve. Moreover, everyone in the capital knew that he was frantically pursuing the man who had dug up his predecessor’s grave, General Huo Fenglie.

The people around him still had grudges against him from his previous life, and he was attacked from both sides.

Liu Zhenqing: ……How about I keep a low profile?

Thus, the traitorous official didn’t want to take revenge, but only wanted to stop trying, escape, and live a wonderful retired life as soon as possible.

But when he finally arrived in a carriage at the city gates, the city was sealed shut.

When he looked back, the God of War Huo Fenglie, who was supposed to be standing in front of thousands of troops without a change of expression, was in a state of disorder. As if he had lost his manners, he grabbed Liu Zhenqing’s wrist tightly and lowered his scarlet eyes, his voice slightly unstable: You…….where are you going?

He said: You can’t leave, come home with me.

Liu Zhenqing: ……

f*ck! He couldn’t have recognized him, right? According to the rumors, he was the villain who killed his brother, coveted his sister-in-law, and plotted against his country!

Thinking of the fate of his last body, he shivered.

The little wolf cub finally took home the bone he had longed for. Soon after, the gossiping souls of the people in the capital burned brightly.

Wasn’t it said that the General had a person he was deeply in love with, which was why he had refused the Emperor’s marriage offers several times? Why had he started to hide away a lover? Was he hiding that idiot who had originally harassed him?

Sure enough, a strong man could be won over with persistence! <<less

By training hard and using his weak skills in unorthodox ways, Makoto proves that, even when playing on hardcore difficulty, an RPG player always makes it to the end! <<less

Bao Ruan Ruan, after honing her survival skills to the max in an adventure-based survival game, reached the highest level of completion. However, she suddenly found herself in a showbiz novel, where she became a scapegoat for all sorts of scandals, a third rate celebrity, leading to her contract being terminated by her agency.... more>>

When Bao Ruan Ruan woke up, her original self was preparing to commit su*cide, standing on a ten-meter-high balcony. She immediately pulled her foot back from the edge.

—To live is the greatest wealth. Even if others are dead, she still wants to survive!

A month later, Bao Ruan Ruan, with a slender waist, long legs, fair skin, and a desire to stay alive, appeared on a program arranged by her new talent agency.

The audience resisted vehemently and wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

But:

In a restaurant program, while others were busy with their businesses, she downloaded 18 papers from CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).

Analyzing the data: The main component of dishwashing liquid, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, can cause harm when there is a residue of 0.5% on the skin. The Os brand dishwashing liquid has the least residue, so buy it!

Audience: ? Ordered!

In a wilderness survival program, while others tried to attract the audience, she checked if the doors and windows could be securely closed and if there were any illegal individuals on-site. She also took out a comprehensive vitamin tablet, gr*pe seed extract, cod liver oil, foot soaking bucket, traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking pack, and a neck massager, placing them devoutly by her bedside.

Audience: ?! Buy quickly, or it will be out of stock again!

When the media asked her how she managed to make the audience like her, Bao Ruan Ruan replied, "Misunderstanding, there's never been any. I just want to live for another five hundred years."

Audience: ??

Fans: "After becoming a fan of Ruan Ruan, my cervical spondylosis got better, and my asthma improved."
"This child reminded me, I almost forgot to turn off the gas last time; she saved my life!"
"The girl said to be cautious of strangers, and I successfully reported a fugitive!"
Audience: !!

Her manager, Xue Jing, one of the heirs of the three major families in Beijing.

He wanted to complete his legend as the "unrivaled talent agent" in the entertainment industry and then go back to inherit his family business, but he encountered Bao Ruan Ruan on the way.

Xue Jing: I've arranged for you to participate in a variety show. You'll go tomorrow.

Bao Ruan Ruan: Do you know the probability of dying on the way to work? Do you know the probability of having a workplace injury—

Xue Jing: ! Damn, she's sharp!

After (possibly) dying from overwork, the protagonist, Jiro Hasegawa, found himself reincarnated as a dungeon monster in another world. Through sheer effort and continuous evolution, he eventually rose to the position of the final boss, entrusted with guarding the deepest part of the dungeon.
