I never believed that there is an 'afterlife'. Similarly, I also never believed that reincarnation, rebirth, transmigration, or any other bullcrap related to it, were real either. I died as a loser, and that's my choice...well, not really, but I was never really the guy who aimed high, I just accepted whatever's thrown my way and made do with it. In my mind, life/living is already hard, why make it more complicated for yourself? Dreams? Lofty goals? Prized possessions? I never had any of those and I don't miss what I never had to begin with. With all of this, tell me why? Why, amongst all the damn people on earth who will be willing kill for this opportunity, was I the one to transmigrate? And what the hell is this situation? Why did I found myself transmigrated into a world, or more specifically - a story, that I'm familiar with? Wasn't this the world of the Inverted Spires from the 'Tales of the Martial God'? Out of all the worlds they could throw me in, it had to be this? What the hell? The entire plot of this story was 'crack treated seriously' or a 'random 3am thoughts'!! Why here! God! Come out an explain!? And what the hell do you mean by giving me this 'Unparalleled Comprehension' crap!? For free, too! What exactly do you want from me!?

They say meeting your soulmate is destiny, a beautiful collision of two worlds meant to be together. ...But why did my "fated encounter" have to be a head-on collision with Cassidy Valentine, the most hostile, entitled, and terrifying girl at Hartwell Academy? And why did it involve ruining her limited-edition blazer with cheap bodega coffee? I'm Isaiah Angelo. I run on three hours of sleep, instant caffeine, and the desperate need to secure a future for my little sister. I don't have time for drama. I definitely don't have time for romance. So, naturally, the universe decided to play a cruel joke. I didn't just make an enemy of one rich girl. I stumbled into the lives of four. The Valentine Quadruplets. Identical faces, four distinct flavors of trouble. Now, I’ve been hired as their live-in personal assistant. I’m trapped in a mansion with the four most desirable—and impossible—girls in the city. Cassidy, the "Problem Child" who has sworn to make my life a living hell. Harlow, the overly affectionate airhead who thinks snacks solve all emotional trauma. Vivienne, the ice-cold perfectionist who wants to micromanage my breathing. Sabrina, the silent observer who looks at me like I’m a puzzle she’s dying to solve. The pay is life-changing. The job is suicide. Can I keep my scholarship, raise my sister, and manage the chaos of the Valentine household without losing my mind? I have a mountain of debt, a schedule from hell, and four billionaire heiresses who suddenly seem very interested in the "scholarship boy." This isn't a job. This is a survival horror game wrapped in silk sheets. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Ecchi Situations: The Valentines have zero concept of personal space, and the "accidents" are frequent, spicy, and very visual. - Harem Romance: Four identical sisters, one tired protagonist. The competition is fierce, the tension is high, and the jealousy is real. - Competent Protagonist: Isaiah is smart, hardworking, and sharp-tongued. He isn't dense; he's just too exhausted to deal with their thirst. - Class Gap Dynamics: A gritty look at the difference between the struggling working class and the absurdly wealthy elite. - Heartwarming Family Moments: Because behind the fanservice and comedy, Isaiah is doing it all for his little sister.

Death was meant to be the end. Wu Ming, once a being who stood at the peak beyond gods, activated an incomplete forbidden technique-Return to the Origin-a final gamble meant to erase everything, including himself. Yet instead of annihilation, he awakens... alive. But this world is wrong. The spiritual energy is thin, the laws are incomplete, and the body he inhabits is frail-poisoned, broken, and abandoned. Once revered as a supreme existence, Wu Ming now finds himself reborn as the disgraced young master of the declining Wu Clan, a figure mocked, hunted, and presumed half-dead. Though his body has regressed, his soul remains intact. His memories, divine techniques, and understanding of the true nature of existence still endure. As enemies move in the shadows, ancient clans plot his destruction, and supreme powers believe him to be nothing more than a dying remnant, Wu Ming begins his ascent once more-this time from the very bottom. Not merely to reclaim his former strength, but to surpass it. To transcend gods. To rewrite destiny. And to uncover the ultimate truth- That all things, all laws, and all existence are... one.

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

Welcome to Eteliria, the Kingdom above the floating clouds. Let us push open the Gateway, pick up our staffs, and the adventure will begin from here— Through the hills of clouds and seas, like floating grass, the shallow rivers gleam; Across the meadows flowing with gold and honey, filled with laughter, beneath Rodell's cottages, a gentle song drifts. Through Egon's ancient forests, where dark vines grow rampant and whispers linger; Over ridges and between Chongshan peaks, shadows stir in the Underground World, danger lurks at every turn, and swords reflect light. The tale of a boy chasing his dreams, above the sky and cloud ridges, the Giant Dragon's Shadow, soaring with outstretched wings. And after time has been sealed away, the hearth fire still burns bright.
