Leo, your average young guy with too much free time. Reads way too many online novels and watches way too much anime.

So what happens when he has the usual cliche death and resurection, but with a twist?

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!"



"According to your situation, I suggest you raise a British Shorthair," Zhang Zian said to a customer who was hesitating about buying a cat.
"OK, let me consider." The customer had not decided yet.
"Eeek!"
Zhang Zian was startled, and he looked back to the stairwell to the second floor. He saw Pi extend its little head and beckon to him quietly, and then immediately withdrew its head.
"What is that sound?" The customer looked around and wondered. "Mr. Store Manager, do you have other pets besides cats, dogs, and birds?"
"No, I don't. It is the old stairs that creak when they are stepped upon." Zhang Zian made up an excuse. "Feel free to look at the pets here, and if you have any problems, you can ask the cashier for help. Now excuse me, I need to go upstairs."
After he finished the words, he quickly went back upstairs.
Recoiling in fear, Pi was waiting for him in front of the living room.
"What's wrong, Pi? Did something happen? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He asked a series of questions.
Prior to this, Pi had never gone downstairs to find him. That was why he worried that something had happened to Pi. His greatest concern was that Pi may fall ill. He didn't know how to cure an Imaginative Elfin. Even if he could find a way to cure it, others would know about the fact that he was raising a monkey.
"Eeek!"
Pi pointed to the tablet computer anxiously, but it didn't look like it was sick.
Zhang Zian didn't understand what it was trying to say. "Go type on the desktop computer."
They entered the living room together. Pi jumped onto the swivel chair and typed in the Word document: I have tried several books, and only parts of the books could be read.
Zhang Zian didn't understand anything at first. He looked at the tablet computer, and he immediately relaxed and laughed. "Because the following chapters are only accessible until I have recharged my account. And I haven't, of course you can't read them."

Puzzled, Pi typed: Recharge?
"Yes, although web novels are not written on paper as the physical books are; just like rice, computers, drinking water, and clothes, they are also the products of the labor of others. Readers need to pay for most of the relatively exciting web novels. If the authors could not get paid for their labor, who would sit on the computer every night? Who does not know that playing games or watching movies is more comfortable than writing novels?" Zhang Zian explained.
Pi typed: Is it very expensive to recharge?
Zhang Zian said to himself that the price of reading online novels was indeed inexpensive, but the reading speed of Pi was too fast… However, he did not want Pi to have a psychological burden. So, he said casually, "As a pastime, reading online novels is very cheap, at least it is much cheaper than looking for a girlfriend... Pi, in which app do you mainly read online novels? I'll put some money in that app."
Pi was pointing at an icon on the screen of the tablet computer.
"Well, let me see how I can recharge my account in it." Zhang Zian took over the tablet computer, deliberately avoiding the eyes of Pi, and estimating how much money should be put in the app according to the reading speed of Pi. Finally, he made up his mind and added 1,000 Yuan into his account. 
"Well, Pi, you can choose whatever books you like." He handed the tablet back to it.
"Eeek!"
Pi took over the tablet and tried to open the previously locked chapters. Sure enough, it could read those chapters now. It immediately sat on the wicker hanging chair and enjoyed reading the novels.
Intimidated by the rapid reading speed of Pi, Zhang Zian felt sorry for his wallet. Pi really liked online novels so much that it actually went downstairs to find him for help.
Despite spending 1,000 Yuan on the reading app, Zhang Zian felt the money was well spent. Because Pi could read online novels from now on, it would not have such a great demand on physical novels, thus saving him a lot of time. He could devote more of his time to the day-to-day operations of his pet shop.
The only thing he was not sure of, was reading online novels a senseless measure for Pi? There were numerous online novels that even Pi could not finish reading in the foreseeable future. Would Pi increasingly isolate itself?

For the time being, he could not think of any other way. He had no choice but to let time tell him how Pi would turn out.
...
Pi gradually let its guard down in the pet shop. It no longer kept holding the untitled book all the time. When it was reading in the wicker hanging chair, it would casually put the untitled book next to the laptop on the desk.
Staring at the screen of the tablet intently, it was reading a wonderful part of a novel. It had just finished reading a chapter and swiped the screen gently with its finger as the page jumped to the next chapter.
"Pi, don't spend all your time reading books; get up and move around."
Pi looked up and saw that Zhang Zian had come to the wicker hanging chair and was looking at it with worry.
"Eeek!"
It waved its hand, suggesting that it would rest after finishing the current chapter. And then it lowered its head and continued reading. 
"Pi!"
Pi felt that Zhang Zian's tone sounded unusual. It looked up blankly, as if asking him what was going on. 
Zhang Zian said seriously, "Pi, you have been reading books for five consecutive hours, and you need to get up and move. Otherwise, you may be subject to some health issues. I'm playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy. Do you want to join us?"
"Meow!"
Galaxy appeared from behind him, staring at Pi with its silver-gray eyes.
"Meow! Pi, come and play hide-and-seek together?"
Pi looked alternately at both of them. Their expressions were very serious. Their eyes were full of fear and anxiety. They were clearly worried about Pi.
"Eeek?"
Pi stretched out a palm. It was asking if it had been reading for five hours.

Zhang Zian nodded. "Yes, when I got up in the morning, I discovered that you were reading. At that time, it was before 7 o'clock. Now it is 12 o'clock noon. I have just finished lunch and you haven't moved for at least five hours."
"Eeek."
Pi put down the tablet and jumped off the chair. Suddenly, it staggered and almost lost its balance. 
Zhang Zian rushed to support it. "Pi, are you okay?"
After reading books in the same posture for a long time, Pi found that the joints all over its body were stiff, especially the joints of its neck. Every time Pi moved its neck, it would creak like a rusted bearing. Its legs were already numb and couldn't move freely. 
"Eeek…"
Leaning its whole body against Zhang Zian, Pi put out a finger and wrote words in his palm: I'm fine. I will recover after taking a rest.
Zhang Zian looked at the frail Pi and could not help secretly regretting his choice. Why did he let Pi read online novels? Since Pi had nothing else to do, it would be fascinated by books. If Pi finished reading the limited number of physical books, it could take a rest. However, there were too many online novels. That was why it kept reading one book after another without resting.
He helped Pi into the wicker hanging chair to let it lie down and rest. He and Galaxy stood next to it to guard it. 
"Eeek."
Pi turned its head inwards, covering its face with its hands.
Zhang Zian guessed that it was saying "I'm sorry". So, he comforted it, "There is nothing to be sorry for, Pi, you just need to pay attention to the time you spend in reading."
Pi nodded.
After a while, the numbness in its legs vanished, and Pi jumped up from the wicker hanging chair despite Zhang Zian's concern.
"Eeek?"
It repeatedly raised its hands to cover its eyes and then removed its hands.

"Pi, do you want to play hide-and-seek with us?" Zhang Zian guessed its meaning.
Pi nodded, looking at Zhang Zian with uncertainty. "Eeek?"
"Of course, you are welcome to join us at any time." Zhang Zian laughed. "Right, Galaxy?"
"Meow! Welcome!" Galaxy said happily. "Let's play hide-and-seek together!"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask Famous to play with us. That guy has been sleeping all day long. It's time for it to wake up." Zhang Zian rushed downstairs.
After a while, he returned to the second floor with the sleepy Famous and asked, "Who is going to be the seeker? Let's decide by playing rock-paper-scissors! Ready? Rock, paper, scissors!"
Before anyone had time to refuse, he had arbitrarily decided that the seeker would be selected through rock-paper-scissors.
"Meow! Paper!"
"Eeek!"
"Excuse me?" said Famous. 
As a result, both Zhang Zian and Pi formed scissors with their hands, while Famous and Galaxy formed paper with their hands.
"Wow, ha-ha. Either of you will become the seeker!" Zhang Zian smirked.
Famous stared at its claws helplessly. "You're cheating! Galaxy and I can only form the shape of paper with our hands..."
"That I don't care!" Zhang Zian scoffed. "Anyway, which one of you will be the seeker? I don't think you two can decide by playing rock-paper-scissors. Would you like to flip a coin?"
He magically pulled out a coin and bounced it into the air. The coin fell back into his palm and was covered by his other hand.
"Heads or tails? Who will guess first?" he asked.
"Meow! Heads!" Galaxy answered first.


Famous was even more speechless. Isn't it obvious that I will lose to Galaxy when it comes to guessing heads or tails? The probability of me winning is simply zero!
Zhang Zian looked at Famous mischievously and asked, "Famous, so you will choose tails?"
"No, I don't choose either side. I admit defeat." Famous sighed. "Forget it, I'll be the seeker. Why are you bullying me today?"
"What are you talking about? We were not bullying you! You lost in the rock-paper-scissors!" Zhang Zian laughed. "Just go to count—right, you must not use your sense of smell to seek us, you will be cheating if you do!"
"You are in no position to accuse others of cheating!" Famous reluctantly found a corner. Facing the wall, it closed its eyes and said, "1,2,3,4..."
Galaxy first sought a place to hide. Zhang Zian squeezed its eyes to Pi and gestured that they should hide in different places.
Pi had seen Zhang Zian and Galaxy play hide-and-seek before, but it was the first time that Pi personally participated in this game. It had been staying in the living room almost all the time and was not familiar with other rooms. Since it did not know where to hide, it finally hid itself under the desk.
After counting to 100, Famous opened its eyes and looked around. If Famous could use its sense of smell, it would be very easy for Famous to find the hiders. Even if its sense of smell was not allowed in this game, Famous just needed to spend more time to find them. After all, the pet shop was not a very large space. 
Famous had a bright idea. It yelled, "Stop hiding, I saw you!"
"Eeek!"
Since Pi was playing hide-and-seek for the first time, it didn't know that Famous was playing tricks. Believing that Famous had really spotted it, Pi got panicked and got out from the desk. Bang! It moved too fast and its head slammed into the desk.
"Eeek!"
Pi was in so much pain that it fell and sat on the ground, grabbing its head and sobbing.
The desk swayed twice, and the untitled book at the corner of the desk fell to the floor and spread out.


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

Once he was done, Zhang Wang walked to the bubble tea shop next door and ordered a drink. As he drank, he observed the shared phone booth's situation.
Before this, when Ruan Guangjian was painting, many people had gathered around the phone booth. Now that the shared phone booth was done, people were hurriedly gathering to take photographs. 
All things aside, everyone behaved decently. 
They took initiative to stand in a line and took turns to take pictures with the painting of Modest outside the phone booth.
During this process, some passers-by came with the original intention to observe the fun. However, when they saw that several new facilities had been added to the shared phone booth, they became quite curious. 
"It looks like many things have been added to the shared phone booth."
"We don't have to pay to use the drinks machine as well, right?" 
"Do you think you can drink anything you want for ten yuan? Of course, you'll have to pay extra costs." 
"There's even a capsule machine and two microphones there! What does that mean? We can sing inside?" 
"What's that thing under the foldable chair? I've never seen it." 
"I think there are many more things inside now. Please excuse me, everyone, I want to go in and take a look." 
"Ai, ai, ai… here's the line." 
"Let's form two lines! We're not even queuing for the same thing. You're taking photographs, and we're going in to experience the booth. We don't have to interfere with each other." 
"What if we want to take photographs and experience the booth…?"
After discussing it for a while, everyone split into two lines. One line was to take a photograph with the painting of Modest. The other line was to enter and experience the shared phone booth.
Nobody had entered the phone booth before because there were too few facilities. There had been nothing to experience.
However, there were many more facilities now. There was even an artwork outside the phone booth. Now that it looked much nicer, more people were interested in entering. 
After all, everyone was interested in upholding their reputation; this affected even the way they viewed phone booths. 
The first people to enter the shared phone booth were a couple. 
It would be weird to go into such places alone. Not only would one feel lonely, but others would also be looking in from the outside. 
After the couple entered, they closed the door and pulled down the curtains. 
At the same time, the people on the outside saw the remaining time displayed on the screen: Fifteen minutes. 
That way, those in the line would have a rough idea of how long it would be before their turn. 
Of course, that function was still not up to par yet. For example, it could only tell how long the people in the booth at the moment had until they had to come out. However, it could not accurately tell how long someone at the back of the line would have to wait. 
Zhang Wang quietly noted this down. He considered including a function that would give the people in line a number or an estimated time before they would reach the front in the future. 
The couple began curiously exploring the shared phone booth. 
"Eh, we have two drinks each. We can choose cold or hot drinks as well." 
"We can even sing for free?" 
"Whoa, what a steal. We only need to pay ten yuan every fifteen minutes. It's so worth it!" 
"There's even a capsule machine. Unfortunately, that's not free." 
"What were you expecting? If the capsule was free, the manufacturer would suffer huge losses." 
"Should we sing one song?" 
"Can we do that? It's so embarrassing." 
"Don't worry; we can't hear a single peep from the shopping mall. That means the phone booth is quite well sound-proofed."
At first, ten yuan for fifteen minutes looked extremely expensive. However, now that so many new functions had been added, it did not look as expensive anymore. In fact, it looked worth it! 
Yet, to Zhang Wang, he could still generate profits.
He would only give one pair of drinks. Whether the customers chose to stay for fifteen minutes or an hour, the number of drinks they would receive would remain the same. Once they got thirsty, they would probably buy more. 
Further, the cost of operating the drinks machine was not much. Take the hot drinks for example. A bag of instant coffee or milk tea measuring one kilogram could make fifty 250 ml cups of hot drinks. That made the cost of each drink fifty cents. On top of that, the more that they bought, the cheaper it became and the lower their costs would be. 
Even if they added in the cost of water and electricity, a hot drink would cost two yuan at the most. The shared phone booth would continue to make profits.
Of course, customers could not choose their own flavors. 
Furthermore, customers would have to pay extra to play the capsule machine.
The couple picked up the microphones from the table and found a small box that contained free microphone covers. They received two for free upon entry, but if they wanted to use more, they had to pay. 
The melodious music sounded, and both of them started singing.
… 
At that time, outside the phone booth, everyone in the queue heard soft music coming from inside the phone booth. 
"Eh? Are they really singing?"
"How long… do they plan to sing?" 
"Holy sh*t, they've paid more to stay in there for longer. The remaining time has increased!" 
"…Let's go, let's go. How long must we freaking wait?!"
It looked like the couple that had just entered the shared phone booth was planning to stay in there for a long time. The timer on the screen started again at thirty minutes. Many people who had been queuing with the intention to try out the booth gave up and dispersed. 
However, a realization suddenly dawned on Zhang Wang—who had been sitting at the drinks stall nearby—once he witnessed what had happened. 
If everyone who went in came out again quickly, it would have been a bad thing. It would have meant that the phone booth had not been attractive enough! 
However, now the couple had decided to stay and sing for at least half an hour. That meant that the shared phone booth itself had no problem! 
The other shared phone booths would be done soon. Then, they would move into the various shopping malls in Jingzhou City…
They would be money trees that raked in profits for a long time! 
Once all twenty shared phone booths had been set up and they had recovered their capital, Zhang Wang would immediately report the good news to Boss Pei!
… 
… 
In the afternoon, on a hired car heading from Jingzhou's airport to Shenhua View…
A young man accessed the author's platform application on his cell phone, created a new chapter, and then habitually typed the words 'taking leave' in the subject.
"I'm attending Zhongdian Chinese Network's first class for online authors in Jingzhou, and so I'm taking one day's leave—just for all of your information.
"On top of that, please vote!" 
He typed the entire message at one go. Then, the young man kept his cell phone and looked out of the window of the hired car, appreciating Jingzhou's views. 
A few minutes later, he took his cell phone out again and accessed Zhongdian Chinese Network's application to read the readers' comments under the chapter. 
"Pfft, I thought he updated the book!" 
"He's bailing on us again like he always does? Think about how many times you've taken leave in the past month alone." 
"Sh*t, it's only 3 PM. Can't you just write at night?" 
"Not bad, you've improved. You said you had to attend your classmate's weddings the past few times. I wondered why all of your classmates were getting married at the same time! Your excuse is not bad this time. Keep working hard!"
"Taking frequent leave is a sign that the author isn't going to finish the book. Tell us, are you going to leave this book incomplete as well?!" 
"Sh*t, don't do that! I just caught up, and you've only written about six hundred thousand words for this book. It's only a child!" 
"You're asking for votes even though you're taking leave… how shameless!" 
"Do you see this vote? F*ck, even if I have to waste it, I wouldn't vote for you!" 
Reading the angry comments left by his readers, the young man smiled. He was already used to this. 
Cui Geng was one of the students who would be attending Zhongdian Chinese Network's first authors' class. His pen name was 'The Tentacled Beast that Writes for His Life'. However, that name turned out to be perfectly ironic. 
He was known for updating his books very slowly and taking leave whenever he felt like it. Each time he took leave, he would also shamelessly ask readers to vote for him. 
He was also infamous for not finishing two or three online novels.
Yet, he always had good ideas for novels and a perfect grasp of writing and rhythm. He could always draw people in. Although his readers constantly cursed at him, even they could not help but keep reading his novels. 
Cui Geng sighed. "Ai, I'm telling the truth this time. I'm really going to take part in a class. Why doesn't anyone believe me?" 
Among online authors, there were hard workers and slackers. Authors like Cui Geng were especially slack. 
That was because he lacked motivation. 
When he graduated from university, he had immediately felt pressured by the real world's materialism. Thus, having had nothing to do, he began writing online novels to support himself. 
However, half a year after he had started, his house was demolished. 
Cui Geng had wandered around for some time and then had felt empty once again. Thus, he had decided to repent and turn over a new leaf. This time, he had decided to finish his book and become a novel god. 
In the end, several other flats belonging to his family were demolished as well. 
Cui Geng felt sorrowful. Life had a way of making a fool of people. Who would have had the mood to continue writing? 
Thus, Cui Geng left everything to fate now. 
This time, he had come to Jingzhou with the intention to go on holiday. 
He had no idea what he was going to learn in the class as well. He had signed up the moment he heard that he would receive a basic salary and that his food and accommodation would be provided for. 
He had not expected to be chosen immediately. 
It was probably because there weren't many successful authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network.
Cui Geng had started off by writing on Infinite Chinese Network. However, many readers heard about him having a habit of not completing his books. Even editors came to hear about it. Each time he started a new book, his old readers would comment on it to diss it. 
Helpless and not lacking money, Cui Geng had decided to change platforms and give himself a new lease of life. 
Thus, thanks to a freak combination of various factors, Cui Geng started writing for Zhongdian Chinese Network which treated its mid-tier writers quite well. 
"I heard that there are many fun places to go to in Jingzhou. It's just as well. I can use this class as an excuse to play here for a few days. 
"I'm taking leave for an official reason. The readers can't say anything about that, right? 
"I'm collecting material for my novel. What's more, writing novels requires a lot of brainpower. If I play more, I can refresh my mind and cheer myself up. That'll allow me to come up with more content. 
"They'll understand for sure!" 
After thinking about this for some time, Cui Geng arrived at Shenhua View. He alighted from the car and took the elevator up to the editors' department in Zhongdian Chinese Network.
Someone welcomed him warmly and led him to the conference room. 
A while later, Ma Yiqun entered the conference room, and the two men began chatting. 
From their conversation, Cui Geng learned that he was the first author to arrive in Jingzhou for the class. That surprised him. 
However, on further thought, it made sense. He had only received the invitation yesterday, and yet he was already here today. He had been quite fast. 
The main reason for his enthusiasm was that he wanted to find an excuse to take leave as soon as possible. 
After chatting for some time, Ma Yiqun retrieved an agreement. 
"This is the agreement for the online literature class. Everyone has to sign one. Please read the details in the agreement very carefully. Once you're sure that there are no problems with it, you can sign it. 
"We have some requirements, but you don't have to worry; those are basic requirements. We will not go overboard." 
Cui Geng was stunned. "Huh? There's an agreement?" 
It was quite formal.

This book is highly popular in China and has set off a new trend. Webnovel has very high expectations for this book and has gotten the author to refine the first chapter as an exclusive for global readers. We hope everyone will enjoy reading it.

George didn't know how he survived the past few days. Each day was like a year.
It wasn't descriptive but an actual experience. He was being dragged out by the Underworld creatures and put into a strange device. They didn't treat him like a commander. He was treated like the other soldiers.
It was the same during interrogation.
In the Mana Device, George saw his body immersed in an unknown liquid.
The strong George almost wanted to cry. When he thought of the life experience in the Mana Device, he felt hopeless. 
He called it life experience. Though he knew that it was a virtual world created by the Underworld creatures, the ultra-realism was like living a life. It was so real every day.
A day in the real world was equivalent to a year in the virtual world.
Every time, he would remind himself that it was a virtual world. But as the days went by, he would forget that it was a virtual world. Instead, he felt it was more and more real. 
He could recall the joy, anger, and sadness in the virtual world vividly.
Golden-haired George had wild imaginations while his sleeping body was immersed in the liquid.
Outside the huge device, Sherlock placed his hands behind his back as he looked on. In his mind, Bru said to him, "Lord Sherlock, you're a genius. Within three days, you've extracted thousands of Magic Stones from each Human. It's so much faster than the earnings of the gamers. With thousands of prisoners, we can easily earn millions of Magic Stones. It was a good deal. Why don't we let the two gamer factions fight again and capture more soldiers of the Godly Kingdom? Before long, we can accumulate enough money for our war effort."
Bru spoke excitedly. However, Sherlock wasn't as enthusiastic. He was pleased as he said, "The results are satisfactory. I'll observe for two more days. If there are no serious side effects, we'll purchase 1000 sets of the Mana Devices to extract Magic Stones."
"Yes. I'll make the arrangements. How do you intend to deal with the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom after all of this? Do you intend to kill them after extracting the limited Magic Stones from their souls? If you intend to kill them, I don't suggest that you sell the meat to the gamers. Though cannibalism sounds good, the consequences will be dire if we're discovered." 
Sherlock replied, "Why do you think I'll kill them? Though the Humans are decadent, they are still intelligent creatures. We don't have the habit of feeding on intelligent creatures."
Sherlock paused for a while and said, "I have plans for the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom. It's a good chance to develop a new game function."
"Wait? Game? Why are you still concerned about the game? Lord Sherlock, we're now at war. It's not possible for the Surface World or the Underworld to stop fighting. There's a possibility of millions of reinforcements coming to support you. Those observers and reporters aren't here for a tour. They will bring information out of Eternal Kingdom. The situation here will be reported to the entire Underworld!"
Bru said excitedly, "It's time to build your reputation and show your dominance. If you can make use of this chance to showcase the power of Eternal Kingdom, I believe you'll be able to conquer the Underworld…"
Bru spoke firmly, while Sherlock only nodded before returning to his office.
When Bru discovered that Sherlock wasn't interested in his speech, Sherlock was already seated at his computer table. Bru asked, "Lord Sherlock, may I ask you? Where did you obtain those life templates? I didn't notice you creating these life templates. Frankly speaking, I'm surprised by the Magic Stones extraction from the Human soldiers."
"I sought help on the discussion forum," Sherlock said casually.
"The forum members have good ideas, and they're efficient. I only expressed my ideas and requirements, and they suggested many novels. There are a few good novels."
"No… Novels?"
Bru raised his voice as he said, "Wait, Lord Sherlock! Since when are you reading novels? As your first secretary and advisor, I have to remind you that computer games are alright, as they will end. However, once you're addicted to novels, it will be a lifetime. I know you don't like to listen to me, but novels are addictive. When I was in school, the student behind me was a top student. He was reading novels every day, and yet his results were superb. That infuriated me… Yes, what novels did they recommend to you?" 
Sherlock didn't know what Bru had experienced. From Bru's words, Sherlock understood that Bru had a strong opinion on novels.
"They recommended Qidian, QQ online novel websites, and many others. However, they strongly recommended the first two online novel websites. They said that there are many genres and a large number of novels worth reading. I tried reading a few during my free time. They were good."
Sherlock responded as he typed furiously on the keyboard. On his computer screen were the words:
[Announcement of New Version 0.91 Updates]


Sherlock is a new generation Dungeon Lord whose ambition is to become the greatest Devil King and building up the greatest Dungeon in the Underworld.
He summons a group of other-worldly goblins who give themselves strange names, form cliques, engage in commerce, and even fight among themselves.
They call themselves—Gamers!

UP master: A newcomer's new online series with high CG sci-fi. It is to be uploaded with the novel at the same time.
It was really a CG series!!
This was Ding Yang's first time seeing such a thing.
He was also stunned when he saw the sentence about the novel.
Novel?
Uploaded with the novel at the same time?
What bull!
The speed of the novel was one thing, but CG episodes required a long time to be created, how could they be synchronized?
Even though this science fiction show had come out, Ding Yang still hugged his knees in disbelief as he searched for this novel.
He enjoyed shows but not novels. He always felt that novels were not as immersive.
But this had broken all precedence.
The search results were changed around because the title of Jun Ci's novel had already been changed by Brother Dog.
But the tyrannical pen name of Emperor.
Ding Yang was able to recognize it.
He entered the novel with his skepticism and saw that it was already collecting money.
The first 100,000 words were free to read.
Ding Yang held a 'try it first' attitude and entered the novel.
It was 12 midnight.
Ding Yang read rather slowly, and he only finished reading the free chapters at 12 noon.
When he reached the pay-to-read chapters, it was as though he a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.
It was not because he had to pay to continue reading, but the fact that the pay-to-read only started when it got exciting. It was too unbearable.
He suddenly regained his senses; this novel is rather interesting!
It was rare for him to find it interesting, and therefore he felt the need to continue.
He initially thought of looking for a pirated free-to-read version, but upon thinking about it, the UP master's decision to make the series meant that they would have invested financial resources and physical labor into it. A novel did not cost much, and supporting it by paying to read was nothing.
With that, Ding Yang opened up Luo Du literary site's VIP page and recharged it with Luo coins (currency to read Luo Du's novels) and purchased the book.
It was not until 1 AM, late in the night, did he finish reading the latest chapter.
Ding Yang felt that it was at a cliffhanger, and the need to continue was unbearable.
Who would have thought that there would be a day a novel could make him have such a feeling.
The itch clawed at Ding Yang's heart. It seemed the author had not left any message regarding the novel.
He immediately felt that it was inconceivable. By the time he reacted, he realized that he had awarded the novel 10,000 Luo coins (100 actual Chinese dollars), left a message: Very good, very good, D website's videos are catching up, the author is truly 6666666 [1]! Wasn't it said that the videos would be updated at the same time as the novel? I hope the author will start uploading them!
As an otaku living in a middle-class family, 100 dollars was nothing to Ding Yang.
He felt that it was worth it to support the author.
After completing this, he did not go to sleep in satisfaction, but instead opened his social circle of friends and shared the video.
When Jun Ci woke up, Gu Lu's voice contained a rarely heard excitement: "Your Highness, take a look at D website. Our viewership is not too bad, there were many people who actively promoted your videos, and the show has been played more than 3000 times. The number of comments are at a 3:1 frequency! Your novel is being supported as well, and as of last night, you've earned 2129 dollars worth of author's remuneration!"
Jun Ci was brushing his teeth when he heard the news and was shocked. "Where did that money come from?"
It was so fast.
"Of course, there is no need to discuss your highness' literacy. With Gu Lu's videography, it will definitely be welcomed by everyone!"

(A refreshing novel about rebirth and disguise, with the male lead Jiang Yi and female lead Jun Ci)
The popular and magnificent ‘crown prince’ was reborn into a disfigured little pathetic girl whom everyone loathes.
The Crown Prince expressed that this all didn’t matter!
The body’s original appearance was actually a face that everyone, men and women, old and young, would go crazy for.
“He” was the perfect lover in the hearts of countless men and women.
Anyone would dream of marrying her!
But one day, the prince charming became a goddess?
Male fans: How explosive!
Jiang Yi: I’m not going to accept this, I am her husband!
Jun Ci smirked. So what exactly are you not accepting?

A twenty-two-year-old man by the name of Raymond Lee was sitting in front of his laptop and playing an MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game) called Eaion. He wasn't really bad nor was he that good at playing the game. In the gaming world, he was just slightly above average in skill. He once thought that he could become a pro-gamer, but his skills turned out to be pretty average.

It was back in high-school when his dream was formed. Back then he was a promising martial artist, he was fit, and was a rather studious student. Yet after a pretty bad fall, his body became unable to perform as well as before.

He could no longer win any tournaments, he couldn't even train as hard as before. He was still rather fit as a person, but that wasn't enough for him. As he tried harder than before, he just ruined his body even more. After being unable to continue doing the thing he used to love, he was unable to focus on his school work and was going under great depression.

Raymond's parents tried their best to help their son but it was to no avail. As his depression and his anxiety were reaching their peak, he started thinking about killing himself.


It was at that darkest moment in his life when one of his friends introduced him to the world of online gaming, manga, light novels, web novels, and anime. It was a world that was so new to him. It was like a book that came to life. In these vastly different worlds, there were many interesting things. In there, his character could do almost anything.

The thing he liked the most was the online games. In that world, he can once again be a powerful individual. He found it fun to play, and it was something even he could do in his current state. Though Raymond never recovered from his past injuries, and he never became the same again, but he was happy.

A few years later, Raymond who once had an athletic body was now a rather chubby individual. Though he wasn't too fat, he was still quite fat. Since he stopped exercising and focused all of his free time playing video games, he became a rather unhealthy individual.

...


At the moment Raymond was playing another MMORPG, and he has been playing for a few days straight. He hasn't been sleeping a whole lot not wanting to miss the events were he can gain event items.


Once the event was over, he could finally move from his chair. He wanted to get some water, but as he stood up he felt rather dizzy. His head felt like it was being hammered upon. He then tripped and fell face-first on the floor.

It seems like he hit something as his head started hurting even more. He could no longer move, and in the corner of his eye, he could see something reddish... Raymond then came to a realization. The thing that he was looking at, that was his blood!

Raymond got scared as he felt his body getting colder and colder. His vision slowly turning darker and darker.

'I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Not like this! I just got enough money to roll for an SSR GACHA!' Those were Raymond's last thoughts before his mind blacked out.


...

Raymond who felt like he was asleep for a very long time, could feel a warm feeling enveloped his body. He could then finally open his eyes, and once he did the first thing he saw was green. He was under a rather tall tree.

He then tried to get up, as he did he felt his body was lighter than before. In fact, the feeling he got was as if he returned to the time before he was injured. Raymond then looked down and saw aside from his shorts he wasn't wearing anything. But that wasn't the most surprising part, the most surprising part was his belly fat disappeared. What replaced it was a six-pack, his abs were back. As Raymond continued to be confused, a floating text box suddenly appeared before him.

"System has successfully loaded."

A random everyday gamer is transported to another world. A world that is filled with ogres, dragons, and other dangerous fantasy monsters. In that world, he gains a system that forces him to create the strongest guild. Using the system he's able to assign the world's inhabitants as players, which are given skills to help him make the guild grow.

As he grows stronger, the local inhabitants weren't enough. So with the help of the system, he summons players from earth.

Greetings to all my readers, I wish to say something to you.

Firstly, I want to apologise to all of you. All those who have found this fanfic to be enjoyable, I truly apologise to you for not so inconsistent in writing the chapters of this fanfic or responding to you all. There have been multiple reasons for why I was inconsistent but it doesn't change the fact. I hope you forgive me.

Honestly speaking, I had started writing this fanfic with nothing concrete in my mind. I was just fed up of fanfic in those days that I felt that I must write something better than fanfics with those pussy main characters and all. I didn't expect you all to like this much, however, much can be contributed to the fact that it was one of the first Against the Gods Fanfic here. Nevertheless, I am very glad for all the support you have shown me.

Even before I had started writing this fanfic, I had been writing a novel. It isn't a lewd novel I guess haha... It's something I have been working on since 2-3 years. Its outlook is also not like that of an official novel but still, I have done all I can do alone, writing the novel, editing it and everything. Some friends helped me, but eventually, I completed it by myself.

I am from India, and in 3rd year of my Engineering. I guess I found my passion too late as I had already joined the college and wanted to graduate before working actively in the writing field. However, near the end of my first year, I had already started writing this Fanfic. Perhaps it was because of my lust of popularity or because I also wanted to write a Douluo Dalu fanfic, I started writing about it too. I guess I chewed off more than I could bite. Writing three novels at the same time was far too taxing. Especially when I had to give out regular chapters. I even started using p.atreon to collect money for advance chapters because I wanted to prove to my parents that I could earn through writing as well. My parents were convinced but I was seriously exhausted after a month or two. I couldn't go anywhere and spent all my time on discord or writing.

After that, I was interested in a girl I met online. She was from the same country as me. I was infatuated with her. The time talking to her was so relaxing that I slowly found myself getting out of writing. I slowly reduced my time in writing and started to talk with her more. However, she soon found someone else she liked so I got a little angry. We had a quarrel and I was pretty much pathetically depressed. I know I was in the wrong but I still couldn't control my emotions at that time. I was quite pathetic, I guess. Haha...

Anyway, I am out of depression. I had started watching animes again because of a bit of my free time and study for engineering. (I pretty much failed in quite a few subjects in a few semesters so I had to reappear in those exams again. Had to study all that too...) In a bit of my free time, I read some novels. I tried to improve my writing style and felt that it has improved a lot. During that time, I kept my mind focused on my main novel and kept everything aside. I just wrote something now and then for fun. It was to try out whether it would look appropriate in my main novel or not.

I have said it before but I guess I will say it again, I wish to turn this story into a manga story. I know I am not from Japan, it's probably a little preposterous for me to think of making manga and publishing it. Even after that, I have little hope of gaining popularity. However, I still want to make a manga. I am going to hire an artist and discuss a long term plan with him to ensure that it would come to reality even if it costs me a lot.

Currently, I have released my novel on the Kindle (Amazon), I won't say you must buy it. In fact, I urge you not to buy it if you do not like it. That will be your own decision. I just want you to read the free preview available on kindle, just tell me if you like it or not. I just want to know a bit of your viewpoint if you will like the story or not... I haven't asked anyone known to me to review the novel because the first few reviews I wish for are the true reviews. I just want to know whether my story is worth reading or not and let you be the judge of this fact.

This was what I wished to speak about myself and the story.

As for the questions concerning this fanfic, I do have a few ideas planned. My online classes are probably going to be suspended in a few days because of some ridiculous news in our country. I wouldn't want to bore you with details, but yeah, it is so ridiculous that I can't even speak of it here. So, yeah, I can continue this fanfic soon enough.

Just please read the free preview available on kindle, after that, buying or not buying is your own choice.

The name of the novel is [Rising Warriors] by [Anshul Gupta].

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089KRRZS5?ref_=kin_pc_dp

If this is not the link for your respective countries, you can redirect yourself to your countries server. I don't really understand how it works but it should be available in all countries.

Thank you for listening to my rabble. Sorry for making it so long, hehe...
