Chapter 1

"Damn... What kind of place is this!"

Looking at the unfamiliar historical introductions, celebrities, and songs and movies on the computer, Luoyang felt like crying but couldn't.

Luoyang used to be a web novelist, having written several popular books and earning a decent amount of money. He had just started dating a beautiful girlfriend, and life was full of promise.

But last night, a friend of Luoyang's broke up with his girlfriend and dragged him out to drink in the middle of the night. They drank until the early hours of the morning, getting so drunk they passed out. When he woke up, Luoyang found himself in a very miserable situation—he had been transported to another world.

Luoyang quickly went online to understand this world. It was a parallel world similar to Earth, with the same level of technological development, but the historical trajectory of its development was completely different from Earth's.

There were no so-called world wars here; everyone opposed war, and the world was a peaceful and prosperous place where people lived in harmony.

The country where Luoyang now found himself was called the Dragon Nation, ranking third in the world in comprehensive strength, with a population of six billion, several times more than his previous homeland.

Luoyang's current identity was that of an 18-year-old college-bound student in Jiangnan City, who had just finished the college entrance exam and successfully been admitted to the Art Department of Tiandu University in the Dragon Nation.

His parents were currently working out of town, so he was the only one at home.

In his previous life, as a proud web novelist, Luoyang had written many stories about being transported to parallel worlds. He never thought it would happen to him one day.

"Liuzheng, you really messed me up..."

Liuzheng was the friend who had broken up with his girlfriend and dragged him out to drink. If it weren't for Liuzheng, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Thinking about his girlfriend, whom he had just started dating and hadn't even had the chance to be with, Luoyang felt incredibly heartbroken.

What he missed the most were his parents from his previous life. But fortunately, his younger brother was very capable and could take on more responsibility. No matter what, life had to go on.

"I might as well continue my old profession..."

Luoyang was now a student from a working-class family, and university was starting in two months.

After university started, he would need money, and the best way for Luoyang to earn money was by writing books.

He quickly found a novel website called Star Chinese Literature.

This website was the largest original novel site in the Dragon Nation, gathering the most powerful authors in the industry, dominating the online novel world, and far surpassing other novel websites.

The website had a wide range of categories: martial arts, fantasy, mysticism, science fiction, history, urban, and supernatural...

Luoyang started reading the top ten novels on the click chart.

As he read, he began to feel something was off. An hour later, his expression was one of great shock!

"This... Why are the online novels in the Dragon Nation still at such a low level?"

"All the martial arts novels follow the same cliché of the protagonist's family being killed and the protagonist seeking revenge. Without Jin Yong and Gu Long, it just doesn't work..."

"The so-called fantasy novels are just about the protagonist flying and teleporting? Where are the ordinary people's stories, man!"

"And this mysticism? It's just martial arts with a treasure item setting, and you call it mysticism? Don't you know the appeal of mysticism lies in leveling up?"

"Also... Don't think adding an alien element makes it science fiction. If I wrote 'The Three-Body Problem,' would the science fiction writers in this world be ashamed to the point of suicide?" Luoyang was utterly speechless.

Strangely, these novels that he found boring and dull were highly ranked on the website, attracting the attention of all the novel enthusiasts in the Dragon Nation.

"It seems that for some reason, the cultural development in this world is not very advanced. This is the perfect time for me to start writing..."

"Should I copy my previous works, create new ones, or... directly plagiarize the classics of the great authors?" Luoyang was making a choice in his mind.

"Let's start with my own creation!" Luoyang quickly dismissed the idea of copying.

"The online literature in this world is just starting. With my skills, I can definitely carve out a place for myself. Why should I copy the works of the great authors?"

"Once my readers' tastes are refined, I can copy the great authors' works then!"

Luoyang had a clear plan in mind.

He knew readers were fickle. If his writing didn't improve, he might lose his status. So he decided to gradually release the classics of the great authors from his previous life once his readers' tastes improved.

He registered as an author on Star Chinese Literature and used his previous pen name: Baiyi Qincheng.

Then, Luoyang opened a document similar to Word and typed the title of his book—*Wushuang*.

Synopsis: A supreme master encounters an accident while transcending the heavenly tribulation and returns to the age of sixteen...

The title *Wushuang* was a bit pretentious, meaning "unparalleled in the world."

As for the synopsis, Luoyang didn't plan to make it too profound, just a simple line.

From the synopsis, it was clear that this was a typical story of a powerful master reincarnating. This type of story had been written to death in his previous life, but in this world, it was a groundbreaking innovation!

"Congratulations, your work has been successfully created!" With the ding dong notification, Luoyang's work was successfully created.

"Let's start writing!" Luoyang began the first chapter of his novel.

The plot of *Wushuang* was not complicated.

It told the story of a super-strong master who, while transcending the lightning tribulation, encountered an accident, lost all his powers, and returned to his childhood. This master knew that his family would be wiped out in a few years. So he began to train hard to save his family from the crisis...

As an experienced writer, Luoyang was very familiar with writing this type of reincarnation story.

"Drip, drip..." The second hand ticked, and time passed bit by bit.

Luoyang stared at the computer screen, typing away, and the sound of the keyboard filled the room. For a writer like Luoyang, who loved creation, the sound of the keyboard was the most beautiful melody.

He kept writing until 7:30 PM, and when he stopped to check the word count, he realized he had written over ten thousand words without even noticing...

"How come my typing speed is faster than in my previous life..." Luoyang shook his slightly sore fingers, feeling that his typing speed was indeed faster.

"Whatever, let's go eat. I'm starving."

After uploading the twelve thousand words he had written, Luoyang stood up and decided to go downstairs for dinner.

———————————

"Vast is the horizon, my love, and the flowers are in full bloom at the foot of the vast green mountains..." Luoyang hummed his favorite song, "The Most Dazzling National Style," as he went downstairs.

"Fiery songs are our expectation, and the most carefree way is to sing along the way. We want to sing to our heart's content!" A girl's voice joined in from behind.

"This girl sings so professionally!" Luoyang smiled, but his smile quickly froze, and he stopped in his tracks, as if turned to stone.

This is... a parallel world!

Why the hell is someone else singing "The Most Dazzling National Style" just like me?!

"Who... are you?" The singing suddenly stopped, and a trembling female voice came from behind Luoyang.

Luoyang turned around sharply and looked at the speaker.

It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a simple white shirt that loosely revealed an extremely curvaceous figure. Her face was so exquisite that it was breathtaking, and her eyes, filled with a certain spirituality, stared at him without blinking.

"Who are you!" Luoyang, recovering from the shock of her beauty, immediately countered.

"Luoyang...?" The girl tentatively asked.

"You... how do you know..." Luoyang was stunned.

"Damn, it's really you, you bastard!" The girl's eyes instantly turned red, and she raised a fist and punched Luoyang in the face.

Caught off guard, Luoyang was knocked to the ground, shocked and angry. "Why did you hit me? Are you crazy, woman?"

"Damn! You called me a woman!?"

Hearing this, the girl seemed greatly offended and pounced on Luoyang, sitting on him and punching him again, making him see stars and completely dazed.

"Do you know who I am!"

The girl's tearful expression was heart-wrenching, but Luoyang truly didn't recognize her. Could it be... a friend of this body's previous owner?

Seeing Luoyang's puzzled face, the girl was overwhelmed with sorrow and anger, and she shouted with a sob, "I'm Liuzheng!!"
