America, 1980. No sooner had Xu Yi transmigrated than he was put on the dissection table; then he gradually came to understand the true nature of this world. "Studying medicine can't exorcise undead demons; I must become an exorcist!" he resolved silently to himself. On a misty, rain-soaked night. "Miss Evil Spirit over there, the night is cold and damp; be careful not to catch a chill! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!" Xu Yi said, holding a lighter, as the pale gold flame slowly approached the other. The Evil Spirit shrank back, looking at Xu Yi with fear. "Don't be afraid, I just want to warm you up..." Xu Yi's face broke into a warm smile, "by setting you on fire!" Ding dong! Ding dong! "Sign-in at the Land of Fear successful, Resurrection Coin awarded!" "Synthesis pathway requirements met, do you wish to combine the following entries?" Psychic + Scholar + Painter = Psychic Painter! Saintly Offspring + Gunfight Technique + Revolver Mastery = Holy Gunslinger! Undead + Revelation + Holy Nation = God!

Leo Valentino was once an ordinary U.S. Navy major who narrowly survived the brutal battles of the Pacific Theater during World War II. However, after landing a furious punch on his superior—General MacArthur—he was dishonorably discharged. Once hailed as a war hero, Leo found that in post-war America, glory meant little. Stripped of his honor and resources, he returned to his hometown of Lynchburg with nothing. But no one knew the truth: Leo's soul came from the 21st century. Armed with a sharp understanding of modern economics, mastery of business models and investment strategies, and in-depth knowledge of real estate development trends, he began to forge a new path. After enduring one crisis after another, he entered the real estate market, gradually amassing wealth. With his unique foresight, Leo soon expanded into retail, finance, fast food chains, and entertainment. His rise, however, was anything but smooth. In New York, he crossed paths with ruthless mafia bosses, corrupt politicians, greedy capitalists, and even former comrades. Each carried their own ambitions and shadows in a land brimming with opportunity—and danger. Faced with threats from all directions, Leo was forced to make difficult choices between justice and pragmatism. Navigating both boardrooms and back alleys, he began to build a business empire of his own. From a disgraced veteran to one of the most powerful tycoons of his era, Leo Valentino’s story is more than just a tale of business success—it is an epic saga of survival, intelligence, and ambition.

While the dream of an adult, is to become a kid again. The dream of a poor person, is to be so wealthy and powerful, that the whole city would know their names. While the dream of a businessman, is to get the time in a day to sit and talk to his family for a second. Meanwhile, the dream of a missing or abducted person, is to go back home, to their family. And the dream of a teenager, is to simply be able to survive everything they are going through. Sometimes, people don't even know which category they belong to and move the way life moves them. Sometimes, they find a new path which leads them to even more difficulty. And in other times, they accept the hard truth, and choose to die. Thinking about the number of things that could happen instead, made her feel even more guilty for not listening to the advice of never wandering off alone. Now, she is homesick with extreme pressure of trying to grow strong, surpressing her from different direction. A normal fifteen years-old schoolgirl, comes across an opportunity to escape the hateful life she was leading. But the question is, was it really worst compared to the new life she was living? The competition grants her the things she wanted, but did it not have her pay the price for her choice? But of course, her reply would be, "I just accidentally joined it. It's no big deal compared to Earth." They are told that the worlds are all just novels they had read back at Earth, but if it were really true, why are certain things not matching with what seemed to be true in the novel compared to its world? As reckless she was, she got summoned into a different dimension where it was clearly uncertain whether she would ever be able to return back to Earth, to her previous life. But the more she got closer to Earth, the more the route got covered in blades. Turns out, the only way back, is to sacrifice the things that made her happy, and go on harsh adventures across the entire universe, while suffering threats from powerful enemies coming from the competition. (Author's note: I plan on making things more emotionally intense in the future.)
