"Don't go out after dark. There have been a lot of fake people showing up in the city lately," my brother—the infamous Rainy Night Butcher—warned with a serious expression.

"Your brother's right," Mom—the Original Fake Person—nodded with concern.

"Bro, can you pick me up after school? I’m a little scared." My little sister blinked at him. But in truth, she was an A-Rank Hero from the Hero Association.

"Your brother’s just recovered from a serious illness. Let him rest at home, I’ll go get you." My older sister, the Captain of the Night Watch from the Special Operations Bureau, took on the task.

Qiao Qingshan, who knew all his family’s identities, said nothing—he just kept fiddling with his phone.

And so, my peaceful daily life began...

"Due to the recent outbreak of fake person incidents, we interrupt this program to bring you an emergency notice from the Special Operations Bureau."

1. Fake people often take over the bodies of those who’ve just recovered from serious illnesses by using a technique called 'soul possession.' If someone who has just recovered begins acting strangely, pay close attention.

2. There are no such things as 'transmigrators' in this world. Anyone claiming to be a 'transmigrator' can be immediately classified as a fake person.

3. Fake people who claim to be 'transmigrators' are considered extremely dangerous. Do not trust any information they provide, including but not limited to emotional expressions, identity claims, or cries for help.

Faced with the suspicious looks from his family, Qiao Qingshan could only sigh.

Alright then... so much for my peaceful daily life.

How unconventional can a chef be when he starts to stray from his proper profession?

Wielding the Demon Blade Thousand Blades as a kitchen knife, it can transform in countless ways! Holding the fiercest kitchen knife while doing the most leisurely things! Taking it easy is the right way!

A swordsmanship that's astonishing! A shrewd and calculating swindler!

He occasionally plays the detective, sometimes goes to the heavens to save the world, but most of the time he just stays in the shop and slacks off!

In short, there's nothing I haven't done, only things I haven't thought of!

Strive to become the most powerful (and talkative) chef, possessing both knowledge and skills (and perhaps not doing his job properly)!

Who says chefs aren't strong? I'm just too lazy to do it!

As a chef, how can you not even beat the ingredients?!

(This is a slice-of-life story. The various worlds are just a side job, cooking is just a hobby, and slacking off is the norm. The main world is currently tentatively set in Detective Conan, Food Wars!, Master Boy, and Little Fortune. I may wander around other worlds, but they will not be part of the main storyline.)

Lords + nobles + armies + conquest + magic + knights + orcs + elves + dwarves + dragons + giants + hobbits + demons + Middle-earth, emperors, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and the protagonist.

Introduction to the continent of Atlas

The continent of Atlas is vast and rife with conflict. Its core of power is the Augustan Empire, an ancient kingdom ruled by humans and ruled by noble fiefdoms. The empire's territory is expansive, but imperial power is unprecedentedly weak due to an aging king and an unresolved succession issue. True power lies in the hands of eight hereditary marquises, who vie for control of their own territories, forming alliances and maneuvering between "royalistism," "neutrality," and "separatism," posing a severe challenge to the empire's unity.

Other intelligent races and civilizations on the continent are equally important: the Elven Empire in the west lives in seclusion in the Eversong Forest, guarding ancient magical secrets; the Dwarven Empire has established a magnificent underground kingdom beneath the Broken Blade Mountains, and its people are excellent craftsmen and miners; the Orc Empire in the Crimson Wasteland in the east worships strength and has been fighting against humans for thousands of years; the Swamp Kingdom in the Weeping Swamp in the southeast is mysterious and xenophobic, believing in the life force of corruption; the sea creatures of the Ocean Kingdom rule the endless deep blue; and the legendary giants, dragons and other ancient beings remain aloof, quietly observing the changes of the world.

Currently, the continent is on the eve of transformation. Within the Augustus Empire, the "magical steam engine" technological revolution initiated by Leon von Hohenzollern is challenging the traditional magical power system represented by Elisa Windsor. The clash between old and new forces, intertwined with imperial succession, noble intrigue, and racial grudges, is about to unleash a sweeping wave of destiny across this ancient land.

By chance, Lu Lin gained the ability to travel between two worlds. Steam, shipping, reform, the past, wondrous artifacts, wizards, supreme divinity… Beneath the vast industrial smoke, amidst a bizarre and romantic history, a strange traveler arrives, bringing money, honor, status… extraordinary power seems within reach. —I am a wizard, from Earth. (Also known as: This Wizard Came From Earth)

I was the first extraordinary person in the world, a pioneer into the unknown.

When I returned from two hundred years of being lost, times had changed and the strong were rampant.

They said that I was just a remnant abandoned by the times and a remnant of ignorant fantasies.

There is no place for me in this new world.

They don’t know—

I have witnessed the wildest horrors and the greatest falls.

What is dormant within me is the supreme being that causes the rules to collapse!

In the first year, Princess Li Qian first met the "gentleman". The man was upright and fair. She sneered: "Hypocrite."

In the third year, the battle for the heir to the throne was lost in one step. He closed his eyes and begged for death. The man was the only one who stepped forward and risked his life to protect him back to the capital. She sneered: "He is still a gentleman."

In the fifth year, the coup d'état ascended the throne. The empress came to the court and offered the man high positions, generous salaries, noble ladies and beauties. She refused them all. She frowned slightly: "He is indeed a gentleman."

In the tenth year, she woke up in the morning with soreness all over her body. She gritted her teeth and cursed the man beside her: "You are unworthy of being a gentleman!"

...

...

"Three things can make the empire great again: swords, humble officials and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."

He said to the empress.

Xu Tianshun travels through the world of Zongwu, wanting nothing more than to slack off and live off his ancestral inheritance as a slacker detective. But a crappy system forces him to do the job: If I don't kill Yu Canghai, I'll be three centimeters shorter?! From then on, the martial arts world erupts: We agreed to play soy sauce together, so why did you kill Tian Boguang with a sword, toy with Cao Zhengchun, and even attract fairies? My slacker character is completely shattered!

A powerful mercenary, as aloof as a dragon, travels thousands of miles to Night City, searching for the girl who dreams of reaching the moon. Just like the White Wolf of Kaer Morhen years ago, he resolutely crossed the world to find the swallow in his life. Also known as: "Night City's Strongest Dad" or "I Formed a Legendary Mercenary Team"

Moreover, heaven and earth are the furnace, and nature is the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper.

One day, I will let the furnace fire that refines the world be replaced by the flame that belongs to me
