  • After transmigrating to a parallel world, Chen Xu is delighted to discover that many of the legendary games from his previous life simply don't exist here. Just as he's ready to make a name for himself, he awakens the Emotion Collection System. The system allows him to grow stronger by collecting the emotions of players who experience his games—joy, sadness, excitement, fear, anger, and more. But there's one thing he just can't understand. Why is it so much easier to earn resentment than happiness? Staring at the mountain of points pouring in, Chen Xu is completely baffled. And so, his career as a game designer gradually takes a... rather questionable turn. In Undertale, countless players slam their desks in frustration: "Wait- the game was playing me?!" In Outlast, terrified players scream: "The locker moved! I'm done! I'm not playing anymore!" In Dark Souls, players begin their journey full of excitement... Only to end up yelling: "Get lost! Just leave! Take your First Flame and go! Leave the Fire Keeper behind—we don't want to link the fire anymore!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost fall in battle. In Final Fantasy VII, Zack dies, and Aerith is struck down. In Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed. Players around the world collectively lose their minds: "Damn you, Chen Xu! Can't you be nice to your protagonists for once?!" When a reporter asks him how he feels about the endless criticism from players, Chen Xu simply smiles. "Criticism? What criticism?" "This is the passionate encouragement of gamers around the world." "This is love." "Thank you, everyone. I'll continue working even harder!"

  • Some magic is taboo for a reason… the kind of magic that can be so dangerous and takes such an immense toll that it kills you the more you use it. But Feather has been handling the most lethal and forbidden of taboo magic for centuries, an unstable form magic known as the concept of anything. Which, as the name implies, lets him do absolutely anything he wants. Yet instead of seeking recognition for accomplishing the impossible, Feather spends all his time aimlessly wandering all the many pockets of the Udimeia, doing whatever silly things he pleases. He does whatever he wants, and only ever listens to himself. With his power, who could stop him? Luckily for the world, Feather has a hobby of helping people and causing mysterious miracles, a truly marvelous guy... if you ignore all the tricks, threats, and landmarks that have now been destroyed and wiped off the map. And, of course, he hasn’t died… permanently, at least. In another hand of cards, there is Cirrus Aixon, the crown prince of Lilino and future leader of the Central Domain Alliance. A man destined for greatness since the moment he was born, he's been prophesied to save the world and stop reality from breaking, but if he's honest, he'd never wanted that burden. He’d never asked for that role to be his. But he doesn't see any other options but to live by the oracle's words, with his lack of confidence and conviction being very ugly flaws. By the time he's sent on a wild goose chase on his grandmother's order and finds himself attempting to hunt down a miracle worker that no one is even certain exists, Cirrus is just trying to focus on what's expected of him, because the very last thing he wants to do is let people down.
