LMFAO: Myths, Monsters, and Minimum Budget

Jaokhun is a broke university student in Bangkok whose biggest problems are paying rent and protecting his sneaker collection. Then he sees two mythical creatures bickering over the Chao Phraya River. He calls the police. Big mistake. Now a secret, comically underfunded organization called LMFAO wants to recruit him. They handle myths and monsters with paperwork, duct-taped equipment, and a soul-crushing bureaucracy. They make him an offer no broke schemer could refuse: sign a contract, and his crippling student debt disappears. Jaokhun signs on the dotted line, only to discover he's now trapped in a seven-year, metaphysically-binding contract. The termination fee? 847,000 baht. Now he's an intern on a 5,000-baht stipend, learning that saving the world isn't about fighting monsters—it's about filing their paperwork in triplicate. His supervisors are exhausted, his new "ocular implants" were installed by an IT guy, and he's stuck in the worst job in Bangkok... ...maybe the world.

THE BUDGET REALM

Kael Mercer dies on a Tuesday — nacho cheese involved, details withheld — and wakes up in Aethelgard, a fantasy world that looks like a classic RPG but runs like underfunded software. The goddess who was supposed to give him a Legendary Artifact sneezed at the wrong moment, handed him a glowing cabbage, and blocked him on divine messaging. His blessing is Inventory Organization. Everyone feels sorry for him. They're wrong. What looks like a sorting skill turns out to be spatial restructuring at scale — he can reorganize anything with contents, from a backpack to a dungeon trap floor, instantly and at range. The problem is he's Rank D, sixty-eight gold in debt from his first fifteen minutes, and saddled with the worst possible party: a paladin who charges first and thinks never, an archmage who spent thirty thousand gold in her first week, and a rogue whose escape teleport keeps depositing her directly into the people she's robbing. They fail upward. Quests go sideways and somehow complete. Debt clears and immediately returns. A dungeon contract with elite adventurers reveals something bigger: the Demon King doesn't want to win the war. He owns the dungeons, the equipment supply chains, the hero-summons ceremonies. The conflict is the product, and the reincarnated adventurers are the customers — possibly the imports. Then the sky turns green, an automated voice announces "Aethelgard has been patched to version 7.4.2," and the cabbage in Kael's pocket reclassifies itself as a System Access Key to something the developers won't name. The world isn't a world. And someone very powerful would prefer Kael not figure out what it actually is.

Take Senior Brother into the bag

" Complete manuscript, stable update." Everyone said that the eldest son of the Wanqi family was an immortal, but who would have thought that he would like a little beggar? Not only did he carry her on his back, but he also spoke ill of everyone in a serious manner. "Are they calling Chun 'er stupid?" "Chun 'er isn't stupid. They're the ones who are stupid. They're jealous of the candied haws in Chun' er's hands." Senior Brother, are they suspecting that Chun 'er used some underhanded methods?" "No way. Chun 'er is the kindest and most pleasant person. They're just jealous of Chun' er's ability." "Young Sect Master, no matter how powerful and powerful you are, you can't treat us as deaf! We're still here!" "Oh, I'm really sorry. So you're still here." It turned out that in this person's eyes, other than that ancestor, he couldn't see anyone else… Wanqi Chun had been reborn with despair and hatred. He had originally wanted to rope in some forces to improve himself and then take revenge. However, who knew that after her rebirth, things gradually deviated from the track of her memories, and her own background could no longer be confusing. The dream of chatting with the deceased ancestors, the heart demon that had disappeared thousands of years ago but was entangled with him, the treacherous turmoil in the mortal court... Everything made Wanqi Chun's heart float. She was easily gullible, and her mind would always waver, but there was only one thing that she was unwavering about. That was the senior brother who had rescued her from the dark swamp, pampered her, indulged her, pitied her, and loved her, as gentle as a banished immortal.

Before she took off her mask, her male god would spar with her every day, and she would be tortured to death under his clothes every day. Of course, she was ranked fourth on the leaderboard.

For him, she made an exception. …… He looked into her eyes. Little Yuan, you want to be the hero of this world, but I only want to protect you." Why was this man so damn flirtatious?
