“I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee... so I had to give up following in his footsteps and give up learning about that incredible epic.”

—A bard said, pointing to the Legend of Lothlórien in his hand.

In 1881, at the height of the Victorian era, under the gaslight of London, crime and opportunity festered together in the thick fog. Arthur Collins, an impoverished former student expelled from Oxford University, had only his sickly sister and a mind full of literary memories from the 21st century as his only assets. To survive, he had no choice but to become a "fire thief"—stealing the sparks of thought from the next century to illuminate the obscure skies of this once-mighty empire. He introduced Edgar Allan Poe's dark poems to England as a "discoverer"; he became a "pioneer," making Sherlock Holmes's deerstalker hat and pipe symbols of reason; he founded "Arkham House," recruiting hidden talents like Lord Dunsani and Mr. James, building his own literary empire. He donned the mask of a "prophet," using...

—For those readers who want to avoid pitfalls, this is a mixed fantasy novel with a single female protagonist and a slice-of-life story. The author believes that magic is not something that can be accomplished simply by imagination. Otherwise, what would those legendary mages who have been studying it for so long be researching? Therefore, it will contain a lot of complex magical academic theories.

—If you don't want to explore how magic comes about or how it's used, and feel it's pointless, you can leave.

—Those looking for a harem story can leave now. This is a single-character story with a female protagonist.

—Those who wanted to become gods can leave now. I just wanted to live a simple yet fulfilling life.

—It's set in the Middle Ages, but not that dark. It just illustrates that the world had a low level of productivity. The style of houses, clothing, etc., conforms to "ancient Western times." Don't force reality into it. If you're looking for dark stories, you can leave now.

—The characters are good people, the king is a good king; not everything is about tyranny and slavery. Reality is already hard enough, so I like good people, and I like happy endings. Those who want to find fault with the protagonist can leave now, because no one is targeting the protagonist, and there's no face-slapping.

—This work references many other works, but it's not a fanfiction of any particular work. I hope that since you're reading a novel, you'll take my version as the standard, since many fantasy works are based on games, and games are for playing, not for real life. There are many things I need to rationalize. If you can't accept this, you can leave.

—The opening has a connection to the world before the transmigration. If you feel that the poison is gone, you can leave directly. If you want to continue reading, I can clearly see that this connection, apart from the divine consciousness, does not affect the later text. So there is no need to teach me how to write novels and say that this part is superfluous. I wanted it to be there, so I wrote it.

[An alien from another world playing Earth games] [No system/The protagonist is essentially the system himself] [Slice of life] [Entire group portrait] [A barely manageable story of opening a shop in another world]

The Illusionist faction is targeted by the Heavenly Dao. A genius Illusionist who transmigrated to another world has no choice but to become stronger and make a living by copying games in another world.

"If only I could come to Earth and play games..." Yao Qian thought to himself as he looked at these players who were engrossed in leveling up and fighting monsters.

Let "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" resound throughout another world;

Make gaming a form of entertainment for everyone;

Let Yagami continue to be imitated in another world;

Show the dwarfs "Snow White";

Let the gods watch "The Fairy Couple";

Let the warlike demons defeat the seven demon kings of Hell in Diablo;

[Brazilian gangsters + ruthless decisiveness + numerous unmarried women + wild samba]

They inexplicably appeared on a nudist beach in Rio de Janeiro.

How can one fight their way out of Rio with bare hands?

Rock's answer was: Robbery!

From having nothing on the beach to slaughtering his way through the slums and becoming a godfather feared by both the underworld and the legitimate world.

When no such person could be found on the other side of the ocean

Faced with a room full of stunning beauties and loyal henchmen,

Rock lit a cigar and laughed heartily:

"Since I can't go back, I'll turn the whole of Rio into my backyard."

Reborn

I'm happy with the transformation into capital, but the primary issue is getting out of the police station.

......

Hollywood godfather? Internet king? Tech tycoon? New energy leader?

This is not what I want.

Howard Hughes' successor, Hugh Hefner's successor?

No, I am who I am.

Ernst Garfield.

In the bustling tavern, a bard sang the legend of a dragon-slaying hero by the fire, while several adventurers gathered together to play monster cards. Mali finished the remaining capsule coffee in his thermos and said to the half-elf girl beside him, "Let's go, it's time to go," the kind waitress warned. "But there's a group of vicious snake-men bandits lurking on the road ahead. Why don't you wait a little longer? The Baron is already recruiting mercenaries." "No problem, we'll drive."

Els Lip's first thought upon regaining consciousness was to avoid dying a second time. Since immortality could be achieved through magic in this world, that was his primary goal.

There are many paths to immortality. He doesn't want to be a servant of the gods, a puppet of the dead, or a spirit of the past... He wants to enjoy the pleasures of life as the strongest being, and he wants to become an immortal dragon.

Such a dragon does not exist; he needs to create one for himself, but this path is not easy.

Outside of Wugang, Augustus, Iron Man, and Batman were running wildly through a cloud of gray mist.

"Imagine, between Wugang and Gotham, or even between New York, countless similar eyes lurk in the gray area, all watching you..."

"I have eyes too."

That's not what I meant...

"So what do you mean? Don't think I didn't see you grab that dog's butt just now. That's why we're being chased by dogs, Tony Stark!"

[Western Fantasy][Magic Academy][Romance + Leveling Up][Multiple Female Leads] (Rating just released, will increase later.)

When Chen Nuo woke up, he found himself transmigrated into a Western fantasy novel.

At first, he was extremely excited. He was familiar with the plot and knew that as long as the talent he drew wasn't too bad, he could cheat his way through and eventually stand at the top of the world.

The result was something he never expected.

"Congratulations on drawing the talent: Gunslinging."

Not only is it not a magical talent, but it's also the lowest level of melee talent.

Just as he was worrying about the future, the plot took an unexpected turn and fell apart.

Gracia, one of the protagonist's future heroines, secretly approaches him, her eyes filled with restraint and longing:

"Chen Nuo, please, let me stay by your side."

"……ha?"

"I'm willing to pay any price to stay by your side."

Even more outrageous is that the harem that originally belonged to the male protagonist all turned their attention to him one after another.

Chen Nuo was both amused and exasperated.

"I really didn't intend to steal the protagonist's woman!"
