In 2036, mankind steps foot on Mars for the first time.

In 2052, Earth holds the first World Martial Arts Tournament, a global martial arts competition watched by the entire planet.

Top professional gladiator, “Spear Demon” Xu Jingming, retires at the prime age of 26 with a body ridden with injuries.

One day, the United Nations announces that mankind would be ushering in a new era for human evolution. Advanced technology had been found on Mars, a secret kept to this day. Research had been carried out to use science to augment human evolution.

All of mankind can now evolve themselves by partaking in this VR experience using the freely distributed VR headset.

How will Xu Jingming use this opportunity for all mankind to his advantage?

The myriad races of the universe are constantly at war. In order to manage and expand their territory, the human race gave rise to the feudal system, which in turn gave rise to one of the five most powerful forces among the myriad races of the universe: the Cosmic Lord Academy.

The Cosmic Lord Academy, the cradle for cultivating human star lords, suddenly descended upon Earth, began its enrollment and selection process, directly disrupting Earth's existing order and ushering in a new era.

All-out: A trial of life and death? All wild civilizations in the primordial star field are participating, and there's even a live broadcast for everyone? Just pass one level and you can become a one-star lord and be granted control of an entire star system?

Other trial participants: How am I supposed to survive with a floating island at the start?

Xu Bai: Uh, with the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Technique, a god-level cultivation technique, and the Nine-Star Divine Artifact, the Myriad Beasts Tower, at the start, have I already won? Oh, and I also have divine-grade root bone and god-level talent.

Other participants: Holy crap, what's the point of this competition? Report him, Xu Bai is cheating.

Xu Bai: Cheating? That's slander, all slander. I was just lucky.

The public: With luck this good, are you sure you're not God's favorite?

Xu Bai: ...Well, you'll have to ask God for that.

Durin Kesma is the third child of the Kesma family. He has three brothers and two sisters beside two brothers and a sister. It can be said that it was one of the worst that Dulin’s family was born at least for the generation.

Luo Youyue, cosplaying as the gender-swapped Black Time Overlord, was thrown by Che Chuang.

I woke up to find things were really serious—something was wrong on set!

It's alright, at least I have a good neighbor.

But why is there a cursed spirit following my neighbor?

But! Who hasn't had a super-grade cursed spirit?

Look at your own cursed spirit, look at the other's, is this how you play?

This is written in elementary school style, so please be gentle with the criticism; any out-of-character moments are my fault.

[The author has completed 28 articles, adding one chapter daily at 6 PM. Drafts are available.] Arthur Rimbaud was born in France in the late 19th century. He loved poetry from a young age, joined the Paris Commune at sixteen, had a romantic relationship at seventeen, and broke up at nineteen, living a free and resolute life. His adventurous life was short-lived, as he accidentally fell into the sea and arrived in the 21st century. Rimbaud quickly accepted his place as a famous poet and wanderer in history, embarking on a new round of global travel. At a comic convention in Japan, due to his physical resemblance to the paper figure, he cosplayed the blond, blue-eyed Verlaine from "Bungo Stray Dogs." He arrived in the Bungo Stray Dog world in a white suit and suddenly developed gravity powers. Could this be a case of traveling back in time and becoming an assassin? To save himself, Rimbaud sought out Lantang, who had lost his memory due to a scheme by his former self, hoping to clear his name and have his wanted warrant lifted. But—I'm not Verlaine? Lantang's partner, is that you? Verlaine, you're my gene donor? My brother? The blond Rimbaud facepalmed. #Because I cosplayed Verlaine, I had to use my ex-boyfriend's name##After traveling through time, I actually have a younger brother! #★Based on three-dimensional historical facts, this is the main story. ★Rimbaud is known as "the unruly wind" and even "half a life of fire, half a life of seawater." While there will be a romance in this story, the ultimate ending is Rimbaud alone, with no real CP. ★Rimbaud thought he had traveled through time as the untamed Verlaine, but in fact, he was the real clone. ★This is a short story, expected to be around 200,000 words.</p>

[Naruto + Ghost King + No CP + Relaxed + Cool! ]

Amamiya Rei, who cosplays as Muzan Kibutsuji, was hit by a truck and traveled through time. As soon as he traveled through time, he saw a black object stabbing his heart...

This black group is really bad.

Amamiya Rei was not stabbed to death.

Almost starved to death.

When he was starving to death, he found that he could absorb Black Zetsu's chakra.

【bite!】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Black Zetsu Chakra Fragment" x 1]

【Parsing successful.】

[Abilities of "Black Zetsu Chakra Fragment": Mental Fusion, Elementary Wood Release...]

【Conversion successful.】

["Black Zetsu Chakra Fragment" x 1 = Primary Wood Release + 600min Sunlight Value + 6000 Chakra]

[The "Black Zetsu Chakra Fragment" has been judged to be a high-quality chakra fragment, and the reward is the awakening of the ability of Muzan...]

[Host, please work hard to obtain more high-quality chakra fragments! ]

Amamiya Zero widened his eyes and rubbed his hands together.

Black Zetsu was full of tricks. He pointed at Uchiha Shisui and said to Amamiya Zero: "Go seduce him and let him take you into Konoha. You can absorb as much chakra as you want!"

Amamiya Rei: “?”

A bad idea is still an idea.

…

Shisui dug out the only remaining Sharingan: "I hope this eye can protect you instead of me."

Amamiya Rei: "If you want to protect me better, then become my Twelve Demon Moons!"

…

In order to absorb the chakra fragments of different people, Amamiya Zero founded the Eternal Paradise in the Ninja World.

The Eternal Paradise Cult - Focused on absorbing chakra fragments for 500 years, all those who have been absorbed say it is good!!!

Isn't it true that these days, anyone who cosplays wears something?! Sakai Rie wanted to go in the water to cool down, but when she turned around, she saw the real person lying in the river. The two of them were speechless. "..." This is so ooc. Sakai Rie doesn't completely share the same ideas as Dazai Osamu, but they are similar in some aspects.

She created a battle-damaged Sora cosplay outfit, and the next second she was transported onto the train with a body covered in hideous wounds.

Faced with the terrified train crew and another living "self," he was completely bewildered.

Qiong: I'm fine, this injury doesn't hurt.

March 7 (bursts into tears): Waaaaah, he's been tortured to the point where he can't feel pain anymore!

Dan Heng (gripping his fist tightly): ...

Walter (adjusting his glasses): This child... has experienced despair that we cannot even imagine.

Qiong: I… (voice goes blank)

Himeko (feeling sorry for her): Stop talking, child, stop reminiscing. We all understand.

Qiong: (No! What do you guys even know?!)

The original, lively character, Qiong, with tears in her eyes, cornered him against the wall, insisting on touching him. Qiong: Why won't you tell me you're in pain? Why won't you rely on me! Don't hurt yourself anymore!

Qiong: ...Help, I'm really just a cosplayer!
