Wuxia
Cui Si had been out of luck recently. Her boyfriend decided to get a sugar mommy and he dumped her. Then, she was framed by her colleague and lost her job. Plus, her car was stolen and has not been found yet. Not only that, but she was also facing the pressure of mortgage and car loans. Today, her dad called again and said that the doctors found a tumor in him and he needed a lot of money for treatment, therefore, he hoped that Cui Si could help. However, Cui Si almost ran out of money for food too! In the evening, when Cui Si returned home in exhaustion, a cheerful voice suddenly rang in her mind. [Hello master! I am your Golden Bookstore System. From now on, you will get something in a book through me every day!] "System? What is a system?" Cui Si asked suspiciously. At this moment, her hand on the table felt like it was electrocuted all of a sudden. She hurriedly retracted her hand and then saw a fragrant lunchbox next to the supermarket discount brochure on the table! [Ding Dong! The host reads the supermarket discount manual and is rewarded a lunchbox for dinner!] Cui Si, "!!!" The next day, after Cui Si woke up, she solemnly picked up a book. [Ding Dong! The owner reads the car magazine and is rewarded a new BMW i3!] On the third day, Cui Si stroked a thick book expectantly. [Ding Dong! The host reads the ancient coin illustration book and is rewarded with a Lady of Liberty silver coin!] Cui Si quickly opened the book to check and she found that this silver coin issued in 1913 was extremely rare. Currently, each coin was worth more than 3 million US Dollars. It was sought after by all coin collectors and was known as the king of silver coins! After a guffaw, Cui Si asked, "System, if I give you a photobook of a celebrity, will you give me that celebrity?" [Ding Dong!]

Forged in Chaos: A Transmigrator’s Tale in the DC Universe

Waking up in an alleyway in Gotham City was not how Ethan Reyes expected his day to start. The last thing he remembered was crashing on his couch after a long gaming session, only to find himself in a world he recognized all too well—one filled with gods, monsters, and vigilantes dressed as bats. It took him a moment to realize the city wasn’t just a detailed dream. The distant sirens, the oppressive skyline, and the neon flicker of a nearby ACE Chemicals sign confirmed it. This was Gotham. And that was bad. Then came the pain. It burned through his veins like molten fire before settling into his fingertips. A strange, instinctual urge filled his mind. His gaze landed on the dumpster beside him. Scattered around were a broken switchblade and a rusty pipe. Before he could think, his hands moved on their own, touching both objects. A pulse of energy surged through him, and suddenly, the two items fused—the broken switchblade now embedded itself within the pipe like a makeshift spear. "Holy—What the hell was that?" Experimenting further, he picked up a discarded smartphone and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Another pulse of power, and—bam—a pair of futuristic-looking AR glasses now rested in his hands, displaying HUD information in his vision. That was when it clicked. He had a power—an ability that allowed him to fuse objects together. The results? Unpredictable. Some combinations worked beautifully, while others... not so much. And in a world where Batman, Superman, and the Joker roamed, a power like this was both a blessing and a curse. Survival in Gotham Ethan quickly learned that Gotham was not kind to the weak. Without money or connections, he had to rely on his ability to survive. His first breakthrough came when he fused a lockpick set with a stolen smartwatch—creating a device that could crack digital locks. He used it to raid an abandoned weapons stash, arming himself with gear of his own making. He also experimented with weapons. A standard pistol fused with a flashlight? Now it fired tracer rounds that illuminated targets. A crowbar fused with an electric baton? A shock club capable of stunning enemies. But Gotham was filled with predators. And soon, they noticed him. The Underworld Calls Word spread fast about a "mystic craftsman" who could create bizarre but powerful items. The underworld took interest. First came the low-level thugs, hoping to use him for their own gain. Then came the bigger players. The Penguin wanted to recruit him. Black Mask wanted to own him. And the Joker? He just wanted to see what happened if Ethan fused a grenade with a rubber chicken. It was Batman who intervened first. The Dark Knight, ever the strategist, saw the potential of Ethan’s abilities. But he also saw the danger. In the right hands, Ethan could change the landscape of warfare. In the wrong hands? He could unleash nightmares. The question was—whose hands would he end up in? Survive or Be Consumed As the months passed, Ethan found himself walking a razor’s edge. If he wanted to thrive, he had to be smart. He had to stay ahead of both heroes and villains, mastering his power before someone forced him into a corner. Because in Gotham, there were only two kinds of people: Those who adapted. And those who became stories whispered in the dark.
