Too fat? Lose it. Bad haircut? Replace it. Can't dress? Figure it out. No stamina? Breathe more. Skin's a mess? Wash it. No discipline? Borrow some. No plan? Make one. No money? Earn it. No skills? Acquire them. System: You change. I pay. Later— I looked back. Everything was different. Nothing felt surprising. They called it "male god." I called it… expected.

Su Bai has a 99% win rate. Nobody asks about the 1%. Not anymore. The last person who asked is currently serving four years for contempt, fraud, and a third charge that Su Bai invented on the spot and somehow made stick. He transmigrates into a parallel world on a Wednesday. By Friday he has won two cases. By the following Monday, his opposing counsel from the first case has been disbarred, his opposing counsel from the second case is under investigation, and the judge from both cases is in a holding cell thinking very hard about his life choices. Su Bai did not plan any of this. It simply kept being the logical next step. ~~~ "I strongly advise you to restrain yourself." Su Bai looks up from his notes. "From what, specifically?" The judge opens his mouth. Closes it. Opens it again — the universal expression of a man realizing, too late, that he has made a terrible mistake. That judge is in prison now. ~~~ There is an unspoken rule, passed between lawyers the way people pass warnings about bad weather — quietly, seriously, with the tone of someone who learned the hard way: If Su Bai is opposing counsel, settle. If you can't settle, flee. If you can't flee, at least update your will. Schedule: Saturday, Sunday

Alright, so I have a lot of stories... And frankly, I get a number of commissions for stories I don't want an individual story for here on WB due to the fact we can only have so many story slots so here is the spot where I will pile new stuff that may or may not get their own story space.

Subaru was just minding his own business when he suddenly found himself in another world... In a girl's body. A girl with an axe. And horns. What the hell?! Why? Why not as a handsome man instead? Well, whatever, he will face it all and become the ultimate iseaki protagonist, the gender bender is the only downside anyways. First of all, he should form a party with...a priest, a warrior and a mage. Hopefully there will be a cute elf too. [Poor, poor Subaru...] Also known as "LinieBaru".
