Hundreds of years ago, Earth was stirred by forces from the depths of the universe, and its spiritual energy was revived.
Things were not as wonderful as people imagined.
The spiritual energy contained a strange power that caused the corpses of all things that had died to be resurrected and transformed into ghouls.
Above the corpse demons, there exists something even more terrifying...
There are no ancient methods of cultivating immortality, nor any legendary awakening of supernatural abilities.
But within the spiritual energy, there was also a ghostly aura...
And so... the magic runes appeared.
Some people carry mountain patterns on their backs, which enable them to move mountains and overturn seas, and suppress turmoil.
Some people possess the patterns of rivers and lakes, and can make the long river flow backward with a wave of their hand...
This process also requires a special profession to help these practitioners of magical runes to continuously modify and inscribe the runes.
This makes their runes more perfect, even more complete...
This profession is also known as engraving.

After Xu Shen found a small black knife in the sewer, his life trajectory quietly veered off course...
[Engraving points +100...]
"I've never seen any other engravers use this engraving tool."
"You'll get tetanus from that cut, won't you?"
"Aren't you an engraver? How come you killed a ghoul with a single punch?"
My name is Xu Shen.
My principle in life is to eliminate threats first, right?
Besides, the world is so chaotic, what's wrong with me, an engraver, carrying a knife with me?
"I'd much rather kill these ghouls here than inscribe magical runes on them!"

(This story has a lot of funny and romantic slice-of-life moments in the early stages, and it's not just a pure wish-fulfillment story with constant showing off. You can read it if you think it's worth it.)
In the year 1485 of the Solar Calendar, a shocking scandal broke out in the Famia Empire—
That human genius scholar who improved the calculation formula, invented soul-sensing magic, and ended the elves' more than 100-year reign in the "Strongest Magic Brain" competition.
He doesn't know any magic at all; he's a complete low-magic user!

Reincarnated into another world, Owen became a useless young nobleman.
Despite lacking magical talent, he unexpectedly discovered that magical theory was quite easy to learn, even less difficult than calculus in his previous life.
"Perhaps I can change my fate through the exam?"
Thus, Owen rekindled his test-taking spirit and gradually emerged on the academic stage as an unconventional genius.
"Orc, so what if you're strong? Can you solve problems as fast as I can?"
"Elf, so what if you have a lot of magic? You'll still beat me on the exam first, won't you?"
"So-called genius is nothing more than one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
At the graduation ceremony of Vilia College, outstanding graduate representative Owen delivered a passionate speech on stage:
"Even if I'm just a country bumpkin, I'm determined to go and snag a cabbage in the capital."
“Fira, Tomman, and Rice, who created the magic formula when he was 9 years old because he wanted to get out of school quickly—heroes are as numerous as fish in a river.”
"Please remember the name Owen."
"Because one day, I will, like my predecessors, make it resound throughout the world!"

Gu Luo unexpectedly transmigrated into the world of One Piece and became Luffy's twin sister, Monkey D. Luo.
He was completely dumbfounded at the moment of birth. How could he, a handsome and dashing man, turn into a little girl?
Years later, the world has undergone earth-shattering changes. Ryo becomes the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Luffy becomes the Pirate King, and Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Blackbeard: "The whole world is taken over by that family, what are we supposed to do?"
Kaido, with tears in his eyes, said: "We're all just tools to help them ascend the throne!"
Buggy the Clown: "I would call Rosa a god, and as for Luffy, get out of here, he's not worthy to be Rosa's brother!"
This era will be rewritten by the Monkey D family!
One day, Luffy said to Ace, "Let's stick to our own way. I'll call you 'brother,' and you'll call me 'brother.'"
Shinjiro was transported to the world of Bleach, becoming a human without spiritual power, unable to even defeat an ordinary Hollow. Fortunately, he obtained the [Life Simulation System], allowing him to experience the lives of different girls, change their life trajectories, increase their affection, and obtain rewards. He thought that since it was a simulated world, he could save girls but not take responsibility, and he was just a legend. But unexpectedly, one day, they all came knocking on his door? Rukia grabbed Shinjiro's collar, her little boots stomping on his chest, "Bastard! You've lied to me for so many years, and you think you can just walk away?" Retsu Unohana smiled and drew her sword: "How's your swordsmanship improving?" Rangiku Matsumoto squinted, "You used to say you only loved me, what's with these people now?" She glanced at Momo Hinamori, Soi Fon, and Ori Inoue behind her...
[Early Teyvat, later Teyvat + Earth] [The Four Shadows will have more and more screen time and become T0 contenders, don't worry] [The issue of not retaliating has been initially fixed, but there may be omissions. You can tag the author to let them know so they can be corrected.] He transmigrated to Teyvat, becoming the younger brother of one of the original Four Shadows, and intended to groom him as his successor. However, Zhao Ziying only felt oppressed here. Because none of his four older sisters were normal. One was always busy with work, loving humanity and offering help, but was beaten by her boss and later tried hard to save the family. Another was possessed and became obsessed with creating strange creatures in her space, destroying them if they weren't suitable. Another was clearly powerful, but pretended to be stupid and slack off all day. Another took advantage of her boss's absence, saying she was going out to work and then never returned. He didn't want to live like this for a second longer. So, when no one was paying attention, he went to Teyvat to find the purple-haired older sister from before. At first, the four of them didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a child throwing a tantrum and that she would come back after her anger subsided. But when they heard that Zhao Ziying was going to inherit the throne of Narukami, they panicked and rushed to the castle tower. "Stop fooling around, Xiaoying, come home with me. How can a mere mortal ruler be worthy of you?" At that moment, a woman in a white dress and an eye patch approached him, smiling, "Come with me, I can show you the inner workings of the moon." Just as Zhao Ziying was completely bewildered, a pair of slender hands rested on his shoulders, and a gentle yet terrifying voice came from behind him: "Xiaoying, you promised to stay with me this life, right?"
During the 1,356th year of the Daqian calendar, the emperor was obsessed with immortality and neglected state affairs, which led to instability in the court and chaos in the world.
There were numerous sects within the country, and each king established his own kingdom. There were also powerful enemies all around, which led to the people of the world living in misery and starving people everywhere.

A thunderous roar echoed from the sky, making the coffin lid rattle loudly.
Jiang Nuan: "I think I can still be saved."
Jiang Nuan was resurrected from the dead. The god of time travel not only gave her memories of her past life, but also a palm-sized divine beast, Bai Ze, to accompany her.
Bai Ze: "Your family is too poor."
Jiang Nuan put her hands on her hips: "How about you conjure up a few hundred taels of silver for me first?"
Bai Ze jumped up and down: "I am a divine beast, not a turtle in a wishing well."
Jiang Nuan: "That's fine then. Stop dreaming and do more work, and wealth will naturally come rolling in."
From then on, the poor owner and the lazy, gluttonous, silly mythical beast baby joined hands to venture into the world.
While making a fortune, he also enriched his neighbors and helped his younger brother rise to prominence.
The Jiang family's daughter became famous for her beauty, and the emperor summoned her to the court.
Emperor Mingguang: "Why does she seem so kind to me?"
The Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin: "Is it possible that she is our lost sister, Nuannuan?"
Prince Shi Changkong, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask—"
Emperor Mingguang roared: "You dare to be so audacious! I'm sure you're doomed. If you dare to utter another word, I'll beat you up and send you packing!"

(Urban slice-of-life, snuggling, just like the title suggests, the synopsis is misleading... but I guess it's not really.)
Having inexplicably arrived in this bizarre world, when she first saw familiar people, Buguge thought she had traveled to a world she knew well.
However, after a while, she realized that this world seemed a little abnormal.
Why are there so many other people?
A merged world? Or did she not travel to another world, but instead travel to the people she knew?
"Hey Pigeon, what are you thinking about? Come help us quickly, or we'll both miss the concert!" Robin's voice came from the dressing table.
"Coming, coming. It's just a little makeup, no need to rush." Pigeon hurriedly walked to Robin's side.
As soon as I walked over, the robin pinned me down in front of the dressing table, saying, "Because, it's not me who needs to put on makeup~"
"No! Wait!"
"You can't resist~" In order to shut up the pigeon's mouth, the robin had no choice but to use its own beak to block it.
