Being sickly weak, Wang Liu has a casual hobby of reading novels. Today, Wang Liu just half-way to finish a book. The story was so bloody it left Wang Liu in a daze.
The story is cool, Wang Liu kudos the author. But the fate of the protagonist twisted Wang Liu's heart painfully, is the author a sadist? Having fun torturing the characters and the readers?! Perhaps if he read it again and again for a thousand times he could achieve enlightenment and free from the shackle of mortal pain.... more>>

Fortunately for Wang Liu and unfortunately for everyone else, one day, the world turned upside-down. 'Crack' began to appear all over the world, reports of strange creatures coming out of the 'crack' and mysterious 'visitors' from another worlds. Amidst the fear and unrest of the world, a group of people who 'awake' their superpower one by one began to stand against the darkness.

Isn't this just like the novel Wang Liu read? Somehow, the two worlds have merged together.

No matter, this is his opportunity to change the protagonist's fate!

"I am going to save him."

Wang Liu: *rolling up sleeves* Come at me! Father is going to teach you a lesson! How dare you touch my baby (fatherly)?!
Huang Jie: He called me baby... *confuse, exasperation, and strangely fond(?)*
Wang Liu's younger brother: Brother is awesome!
???: Father, aren't we your children...

Wang Liu's dream in life is to be low-key and being unbothered, just be a salted fish after he finished saving his precious MC. Except, why are there many 'accidents' happened around him? Why are the Invaders and the Withers seem to appeared near his house so oftens? Seriously, maybe it's because of Huang Jie's protagonist halo? Wang Liu pondered deep in thought as he continued to piously crocheting a knitted hat to warm his beloved up, meanwhile in the background a large canine-like monster with jagged mouth pawing against the window viciously, its tail-- countless tentacles writhed about. Wang Liu glanced at it in confuse, "Why is there a dog here? Is it hungry?"
Huang Jie: ...I think so, but definitely not hungry for dog food.

Lately Huang Jie is in distress, his crush is so philosophical and kept pondering 24/7 about the meaning of life and humanity, yet he is so dumb when it comes to common sense... At first he thought it might be because his pitiful Wang Liu is just sick in the head--
'So how did it come to this?' Huang Jie's last thought as he stared at his boyfriend in a daze, the mask that adorned his face shattered easily like a porcelain. His whole being cloaked with crackling energy that threatened to tear the whole world into two, the surrounding distorted and melted like an oil painting on fire.
While everyone screamed for their lives, Huang Jie couldn't take his eyes off that figure. He took a step forward.

"I am going to save him."

Garett Fenralis was never meant to be a lord, a warrior, or a wielder of magic. Born into one of the most powerful noble houses of the Celestial Empire, he was cast aside—a magicless heir, exiled to a forgotten world at the edge of the universe. But fate had other plans.... more>>

Now, with the Azeroth Drive, his revolutionary invention that allows the magicless to wield power, he stands at the forefront of a coming war. The Verdant Vale is no longer an isolated backwater—it is the key to an ancient force long thought lost, a power that could tip the scales of the entire galaxy.

as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”.
now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel.
the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people.
i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen.
