“You don’t believe what I say?”

Upon seeing Yin Suye’s expression becoming colder when he answered ‘Innocent passer-by’, Shui Ruoshan instantly understood that his words doesn’t have any credibility for this person in front of him.

“Don’t believe.”

Yin Suye narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at Shui Ruoshan who was standing inside the barrier.

“….” Could you please not say it so mercilessly ah?!

Shui Ruoshan also knew that for Yin Suye who had just suffered a betrayal, he won’t easily believe in other people but he(SRS) was really innocent ah! As an author, he don’t even know whose body did he transmigrated into. This only showed that this character is like someone from ‘Soy Sauce Society’^[1] in the novel [The Strongest King in History] and doesn’t have any ‘screen time’ at all ah!

1. For people who understands Chinese, please refer bottom for the LINK. For those who don’t understand, apparently it’s a famous keyword online back in 2008 for people who don’t comment about politics or sensitive issues; acting like everything is not related to themselves; really a random passerby online.

Such an insignificant and worthless nameless character; in his eyes, it’s existence was definitely be equal to ‘Passerby A’, ‘Passerby B’ or ABC.

And so, he who obviously should be very confident (of his answer as a ‘Passerby’) with himself but not sure why, Shui Ruoshan wanted to shift his sight away as if he was having a guilty conscience when his eyes met with Yin Suye’s lightless dim eyes.

“Whether you believe it or not, I really have no malice towards you. You don’t have to be hostile to me at all, really!”

Shui Ruoshan opened his eyes widely and stare straight into Yin Suye’s eyes to express his sincerity.

“Form a contract.”

There were no changes on Yin Suye’s grim face when he finally stated his condition slowly.

“You mean, as long as I agree to form a contract with you, you will believe me?”

For the first time, Shui Ruoshan felt that setting Yin Suye’s ways of talking to be ‘concise and comprehensive’ was somewhat inconvenient. He has to guess every single word, so troublesome and tiresome!^[2]

2. Banana : Probably because he was wondering whether there are other meaning in his(YSY) short and precise words.

“En.”

Yin Suye raised his right hand. His ring flashed with a silver light, and a scroll appeared directly in his hand.

“Space ring?!”

Although equipment-hoarding item like space ring was one of the necessary props in the parallel world setting, this was the first time Shui Ruoshan actually saw the real thing. He might looked shameful (for being excited), it doesn’t change his little excitement rush at all since he managed to see the legendary ring that always had been mentioned in the novels! The next second, his attention was quickly drawn towards the scroll in Yin Suye’s hand.

“This is a contract scroll?”

He never expect that he could immediately see another legendary item right away!

“Yes.”

Seemed to be somewhat impatient with Shui Ruoshan’s annoying behavior of asking questions about everything, Yin Suye opened the contract scroll without much delay.
He slid his finger on his sword and dropped a drop of blood onto the scroll.

Instantly, the scroll emitted a light magical light which proved that the scroll was taking effect. Yin Suye then raised his head and signaled Shui Ruoshan to begin (to drop his blood onto the scroll as well).

Under Yin Suye’s fixated gaze, Shui Ruoshan doesn’t dare to dally. He clenched his teeth and steadied his body, then with a I-am-not-afraid feeling, he fiercely bit his own finger.

Why is he so pitiful? He had just transmigrated and have to bleed and get hurt!

Only when Shui Ruoshan finally managed to squeeze out some blood from his finger, he realized he doesn’t know what to do with it! He was still standing inside the barrier so he have no way to drop his blood onto the contract scroll which was on the outside of the barrier.

Go out?

He don’t have such courage!

Shui Ruoshan still haven’t forget that the moment they met, Yin Suye already wanted to kill him. So before forming the contract, he doesn’t dare to risk his own life.

Fortunately, he is the creator of this story. He knew how to overcome the current situation. Just that, the only thing he couldn’t be sure was he doesn’t know if the current him could utilize ‘that’.

The easiest way to drop his blood onto that contract scroll is to use spiritual power.

The Tianyuan Mainland set in his novel was actually a mix-up world. Although it was based on swords and magic as the main element, there were also other side elements in this world. And spiritual power is one of the higher leveled skill in the system of strength.

Using Shui Ruoshan’s way to describe spiritual power is it was the ultimate expression of idealism. As long as your spiritual power is strong enough, you can achieve whatever you want to do in your mind using mental power.

‘Let’s do it then’^[3], Shui Ruoshan immediately stared intently at the blood on his finger, repeatedly issued the same order in his mind to fly over there, fly over there, fly over there….

3. 想到就做 – Technically, it means do it when you thought of it. For me, I think the modern equivalent term would be Like Nike said, ‘Just do it’

Upon seeing his drop of blood really flew over to the contract scroll outside the barrier, Shui Ruoshan doesn’t even have enough time to rejoice and felt like this world is trying to push him into a pit. At the lower left corner of the contract in Yin Suye’s hand was a chain symbol, that means the one who signed the contract would be bounded to the owner of the contract for a lifetime!

Can anyone tell him, how come the contract he would be signing is a master and servant contract?!

Banana : Here is the LINK.

“You’re that Yin Suye who was also known as ‘Light of Sun’?” Shui Ruoshan asked with doubt after retrieving back some shocked emotions in his eyes.

Right now, he need to confirm the situation whether he really transmigrated into his own novel. Or this is just a simple coincidence that he met someone with the exact name and surname.

The villain in the story had a head full of brilliant blond hair like the color of stars, blue-green heterochromia eyes and a flawless face…
Because the villain has a beautiful appearance like a child of the Sun, plus possessing a supernatural cultivation talent, he gained a nickname as the ‘Light of Sun’.

Coincidentally, this person in front of him possessed the exact characteristics.

“En.1”

Yin Suye’s expression instantly turned darker, at this moment his emotionless eyes were filled with distaste towards this nickname.

“…” He really transmigrated into his own novel [The Strongest King in History].

No wonder he could communicate with Yin Suye without any language barrier even though he doesn’t possess any memories from the original body. It was not due to his extraordinary talent, but because this world’s common language was Mandarin. This setting was specifically done by Shui Ruoshan, for the sake of letting the protagonist to be able to integrate better into this world. He just didn’t expect that this convenience would apply to him as well.

What you say? Parallel world using Mandarin as common language is totally illogical?
Do you understand what is fictional?

Even when something appeared to be unreasonable in the novel, it is understandable.
Even when a situation happened that goes against common sense and science, it is also understandable.
Even when something wasn’t quite center nor west (doesn’t look right), it is totally normal.

…..

In short, as long as it’s fictional, no matter how illogical it was, unscientific or unrealistic the places were, it is understandable. This is definitely the best universal reason one could use! And so because of this, Shui Ruoshan used fictional world as the background for this novel [The Strongest King in History].

“Name?”

Not getting replies for some time, Yin Suye who was waiting for a response couldn’t help but became colder when he saw someone actually ‘dazing away’ in front of him.
His voice became icier and his expression looked very unkind.

“Shui Ruoshan.”

Even though he was thrown into a savage and violent world where it is dominated by the strong and facing a volatile villain, whenever he remembered that this person standing in front of him was created by himself, the sense of fear fade away.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart. Yin Suye indeed deserved the title as the big BOSS, just a random sentence could cause people to feel a chill in their heart; unstoppable fear and horror making one wanted to surrender under his feet. Such an aura ah!

“Identity?”

His brows were slightly wrinkled, as he was very dissatisfied with this super brief answer.

“Innocent passer-by.”

Facing Yin Suye’s overbearing pressure, Shui Ruoshan could only innocently blinked his eyes in order to make himself looked innocent and naive. At the same time, he took in the scene of their surrounding and tried to figure out which part of the plot that he had transmigrated into.

As for the information regarding the villain Yin Suye in [The Strongest King in History], a simple summary would be Yin Suye went for a solo adventure to gain experience and bumped into the protagonist. Then they begun the days of traveling together as a team. In the middle of their adventure, they inadvertently gotten a piece of a treasure map. The other group who possessed a part of the map immediately invited them to join their group to treasure hunt together.

Just that upon finding the location of the treasure, that group of people did not immediately start the hunt but secretly planned how to kill the duo to monopoly the treasure.

“Who?”

That cold voice doesn’t have any fluctuations, seemed to be able to attack directly at people’s heart and cause them to shiver with chill. He had a look of bleakness together with a sloven expression, he also carried the aura of dignity and power; able to overwhelm others with its pressure.

Shaken by the other person’s aura, Shui Ruoshan lost his focus and forgot to react. He could only stood still in a daze as he watched the person turned towards him. He would never imagine that the man who felt like the blood-soaked Asura would looked so beautiful; so dazzling that it felt surreal!

A head full of brilliant blonde hairs, his hairs were tied high in a ponytail behind the back of his head. His brows and eyes were strict but charming. The man’s aura was overflowing with murderous bloodthirsty intent though it also carried hints of pride and dignity at the same time. It was as if he is the Death God who could control life and death.

That perfect face looked like it was meticulously carved out by God but at this moment, it was frosted over with fragments of ice (metaphor). Like icy cold ice blades, it could struck someone and freeze them all over from head to toe. With the color of blood as the background, the man looked like either demon or God!

With just a glance, it caused a great fear in Shui Ruoshan’s heart. His body began to shudder, he had to clench his teeth tightly to prevent his legs from going soft.

He need to escape, get away as quickly and as far as possible! Else, he felt like he would definitely be in a life-threatening situation!

Not waiting for Shui Ruoshan to do anything, the man who was standing on top of those corpses shifted and instantly arrived in front of him. The sharp sword in his hand was in a motion to stab at him….

Being in a close proximity with that harmful bloodthirsty aura of the other person, Shui Ruoshan could feel the blood inside his body froze for a second; even breathing became difficult. His body subconsciously retreated a few steps backwards because it couldn’t withstand the pressure.

He wanted to run but his body wouldn’t listen and became stiff, he could only stood still as he watched the sword stabbing towards him. Unable to avoid the inevitable, Shui Ruoshan subconsciously closed his eyes to escape from facing the immediate danger.

So unlucky, he bumped into a cold-blooded demon as soon as he transmigrated, and now he has to face the danger of being killed!

It was not like he don’t want to beg for mercy, just that he was choking from the intense smell of blood from the opponent. Opening his mouth would cause him to vomit, then he probably will die faster after that.

Waiting for a moment now but the pain he imagined didn’t arrive so Shui Ruoshan slightly opened his eyes to observe the situation.

What he saw was the sword has already arrived right in front of him, and yet seemed to be stopped by something in the air. Not only it couldn’t advance, the sword was strongly rebounded.

“Barrier?!”

The man saw that his attack was useless, he simply retrieved his sword. Though, that pair of bloodthirsty eyes were still coldly watching Shui Ruoshan who was standing inside a barrier.

The word ‘Barrier’ was extremely familiar to Shui Ruoshan who was used to mingle the world of novel. For example, places where any important plots occurred in his novel would be covered in layers of barrier so that other people couldn’t enter so easily.

It was such a coincidence that the small step backward earlier let him enter the cave behind him. This cave was obviously protected by a barrier and thus enabled him to survive the opponent’s attack.

Shui Ruoshan : “Violence cannot solve the problem, we can sit down for a proper talk.”

That pair of eyes used the gaze like looking at a dead person to stare at him, not only Shui Ruoshan’s tumultuous emotion didn’t ease down, it became even more uncomfortable. However, Shui Ruoshan had to harden his will and say something in order to disperse the thick tension between the two of them.

??? : “Who are you?”

Not sure if it was because the other person took Shui Ruoshan’s advice (to talk) or because they were separated by a barrier, the man went ahead and ask a question of doubt from his heart.

Shui Ruoshan : “Don’t you know as a gesture of politeness, you should first disclose your own name before asking for someone else’s name?”

Shui Ruoshan’s courage swelled because he knew he was not in any danger. Actually, he really didn’t mean to mess around/evade the question. Just that he doesn’t even know whose identity he is assuming right now. How to answer then?

Therefore, he deliberately misinterpreted the other person’s meaning and just ask for the name, not mentioning about other things.

“Yin Suye.”

Throwing an icy glance at Shui Ruoshan, the man slightly wrinkled his brow and revealed his own name with a stiff voice.

“….”

Upon hearing the other person’s name, Shui Ruoshan opened his eyes widely in disbelief, the shocked emotion in his eyes couldn’t be concealed. The only thing that keep reverberating in his mind was –

That man said his name was Yin Suye?!

Said his name was Yin Suye?!

Was Yin Suye?!

Yin Suye?!

This name Yin Suye, he was so familiar with it that he couldn’t get anymore familiar than this! Because the villain in his novel [The Strongest King in History] was called Yin Suye! Could it be, he didn’t transmigrate to any parallel world but into his own novel instead?

After Shui Ruoshan recovered his consciousness, he doesn’t have much spare time to care of his physical discomfort. He just stupidly opened his eyes wide, his mouth gaped open; he has a stunned expression like he just saw a ghost. He obviously fainted in front of his computer in his house, so how come he woke up in a totally strange place?

For Shui Ruoshan who writes online novels, this kind of situation was way too familiar!

Did he just transmigrated? Or transmigrated? Or really transmigrated?!1

No one told him that one could transmigrate just by writing novel at home!

This is unscientific!

Although the transmigration genre has been written to exhaustion, one would still feel incredibly unbelievable when it happened to themselves. He now only hoped that tomorrow will not appear such humiliating news of him in the community where he lived, like ‘A web author suddenly passed away from smashing keyboard (typing rapidly) for a few nights’.

Is it too late for him to request for a ‘high-end’ news now?

But it is not the time to sigh right now, he must first understand the current situation.

He seemed to be lying down inside a rectangular box made of crystal?!

When he finally climbed out and saw what exactly was the rectangular box, he was shocked still alright! It was actually a coffin?! Even if it is not covered with a lid, there was no doubt that it is still a coffin. Even if this crystal casket is very gorgeous, very luxurious, very valuable, very upscale, very mighty, very good quality…

It still doesn’t change the fact that it is a coffin!

This kind of situation where one transmigrated into a horror movie, what is going on?

Must be a bad one ah! (implying his transmigration was a low quality story).

He was inside a cave; not big but quite empty. Other than the crystal coffin and a luminous pearl for lighting, there were no other things in the cave. Therefore, Shui Ruoshan could only put the attention back to himself.

Not to mention that his ancient clothes doesn’t belong to the modern world, just by that pair of white tender hands in front of him which still possessed some baby fats in it, it is definitely not his original thin hands!

Right now, this pair of hands… seemed to be… quite small!

No! He should say his appearance overall is quite small right now!
As an adult, how could he transmigrate into the body of a child?
Even more sucky thing was he couldn’t find any clues of the original body’s identity in here! (from clothes or personal items with identification)

From what Shui Ruoshan could guess, the original owner of the body should have died and his soul probably has disappeared. Else, his body won’t be put inside a coffin and sealed in this cave. That’s why he couldn’t inherit the original owner’s memory.

As for how long the original body has died and why the body is still intact and whole, such profound questions were not within Shui Ruoshan’s current consideration.
Since he could even transmigrate, it was very normal to come across things that couldn’t be explained.

Just that, why usually protagonists in a novel could transmigrate and immediately understood the new world then proceed to play their role properly, while he -bitter laughter- don’t have anything at all?

This is not fair!

The only thing he could give thanks to was the fact that there was a door in this cave, not being completely sealed so at least he won’t become a corpse alive (dying slowly) here. Therefore, Shui Ruoshan unhesitatingly pushed open the door and headed outside. Outside the stone door was a narrow cave. Right before he went out, he took the night pearl (luminous pearl) from the wall with him . Not only the night pearl could be used as a torchlight, he could also exchange it for money.

Although it was quite a long walk in the cave, there was no danger so Shui Ruoshan smoothly reached the entrance of the cave. He has yet to walk out from the cave when a thick disgusting smell of blood wafted over. Shui Ruoshan strongly pushed down the urge to vomit. When he looked up, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of his eyes that looked like a picture from Hell.

What he saw was an upright figure holding a sword, standing proudly on top of numerous corpses; aloof and decisive, like the blood-soaked Asura! His clothes were stained with blood, making him almost blended into the background where the red blood flowed from the bodies on the ground. It was like the whole world is colored in scary blood red.

Even though he was quite far away, Shui Ruoshan still could see the bloody traces of blood on the glowing long sword in the man’s hand. He could also smell the bloodthirsty scent of blood, causing him to instantly stop breathing. Other than that, he could hear the slight sound of blood dripping onto the ground from the sword. The sound seemed to be able to strike directly on people’s heart, causing Shui Ruoshan’s heart to tremble.

Seemed to sense movement behind him, that figure who originally had his back facing Shui Ruoshan slowly turned around…

First arc : Author VS Villain

[Banana : This Banana only read until the end of free chapter which is chapter 58. The word count is low and the progress is slow. Heard of a danmei -> Spirit Hotel? Yup, our MC is just like Feisha :v Sexy time seems very far away, none in the free chapters though _(;3/ If it’s okay with you, then let’s start :3 ]

Shui Ruoshan is an online novelist, and he is currently publishing the 5th chapter of [The Strongest King in History] in the website.

This story was about a modern elite man who transmigrated into a world where swords and magic coexist; a world where different races exist side by side. The main character carried a strong ‘golden finger'(cheat) and went on continuous adventures, using his supreme charm to conquer beauties and recruit brothers; a story of a man dominating the world, fighting monsters and level up.

A standard ‘cool text’ on YY leveling (Meaning: A standard OP MC story).

This story with such a very common plot however has helped Shui Ruoshan to achieve an unprecedented success. For an online novel to get so hot, there must be something special and different in it. Shui Ruoshan didn’t attempt to write differently nor seek a breakthrough from that ‘transmigration’ genre which has been repeatedly used to exhaustion.

Car accident transmigration, illness transmigration, toilet transmigration, electric shock transmigration, falling down transmigration, sleeping transmigration, reading transmigration….

No matter how weird is the method of transmigration, how illogical or strange… one could still transmigrate. There’s no way you can’t transmigrate, only those you that didn’t think of. (Meaning, as long as you can think of a way to transmigrate, it can be used to write a novel)

That’s why Shui Ruoshan used the most common car accident transmigration at the beginning of his story, and let the protagonist cross to another world straight away without fuss.

The unique setting of [The Strongest King in History] was that the villain in the story is an epitome of beauty, wealth, power and wisdom; the representative of perfection.

At the beginning, the villain and the protagonist were even friends of similar talents. However, due to the villain experiencing various kind of betrayal, his theory and view of life clashed with the protagonist’s views.

Eventually, the villain began to move towards the road of blackening, causing the protagonist to counterattack in the end. Not even Shui Ruoshan himself could imagine that such a random idea would cause his villain to achieve a high popularity beyond imagination.

There was only one thing that he couldn’t quite figure out. Why most of the people who cheered for the villain were females? Plus he couldn’t understand most of the comments by these females at all.

For example :

Please write more on the interaction between the protagonist and his good gay friend!

Please increase the feeling between two main characters ah! (Protag & Villain)

Strongly requesting for both of them to achieve fruition (of their feelings)!

What mutual love and hate, good feeling!

Want benefits, got any?! ^[1]

1. Banana: No idea what this means _(;3/

……

For Shui Ruoshan, these comments regarding the relationship between the protagonist and the villain were baffling. It was until his rotten (fujoshi) editor explained to him what ‘danmei’ was, he suddenly felt like ‘being beaten by the wind’^[2].

2. 风中凌乱 – Not very sure the meaning, it felt like someone getting depressed and his hair became disheveled in the wind.

The protagonist and the villain only had a pure friendship in the beginning. Then in the end, the friendship was gone, leaving endless hatred to death! How on earth could these females pick out the non-existing forbidden love between the two main characters in the story?

But then, Shui Ruoshan won’t change the main points just because of these comments as he will only write the story slowly according to his own ideas.

Right now, he is working on a big climax of the story. This part was not only the most important turning point of the story but also the beginning of the villain’s blackening.

The writing was quite smooth because the story line was already in his mind. However when Shui Ruoshan was typing rapidly on the keyboard, he felt a sudden sting on his finger. His body trembled and he immediately lost his consciousness.

At that very moment of losing his consciousness, the only thing that Shui Ruoshan could think of was not ‘How come the plastic keyboard could conduct electricity?!’ such an unscientific question but …

Due to his occupational disease as a novelist, only one thought surfaced in his mind.

This feeling of being shocked, it is definitely the process of transmigration ah!
