In a small, dark room,
the computer screen lit up.
The slightly dazzling content made the young man sitting in front of it a little restless.
"Congratulations to Jujutsu Kaisen for becoming the most popular anime globally, defeating strong opponent One Piece, replacing the retreating dwarves, and earning a Guinness World Record."
Su Chen read the words on the computer screen, word by word, his expression twisted, manic, yet with a hint of enjoyment.
It was as if... he had swallowed a pile of excrement, but then found that it tasted quite good.
"...Phew, so next, is it going to predict that Jujutsu Kaisen is about to receive a resurrection award?" Su Chen muttered indifferently, while editing the latest episode.
As a full-time anime editing blogger, waiting for the Author's updates every day and complaining on time was Su Chen's exclusive task.
Ever since Gege Akutami first serialized Jujutsu Kaisen in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, he had a premonition that this manga would be popular.
Sure enough, it became a huge hit, and he earned a lot of money from it.
And because of this, he truly fell in love with this manga, even the Author himself.
But at some point, everything changed... When did it start?
Was it Teacher Gojo's 'I'll win'?
Was it the Shinjuku decisive battle being cut short?
Was it the constant praise for Sukuna in the flashback?
Was it the weekly resurrection battles every Wednesday and even Thursday?
Was it the corpses that were already rotten, yet repeatedly brought back for cameos and to generate hype?
Was it Sukuna constantly taking out loans? Sukuna wasn't tired, but the audience was?
Was it Kinji Hakari, the strongest abacus, already having three children with Rime?
Was it the long-dormant athlete's shocking revelation, transforming into Sukuna's uncle?
Thinking of the Author's increasingly deranged actions, Su Chen's mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
"What! What the hell! Gege Akutami was actually controlled by Sukuna? It was Sukuna! So that's how it is, hahahaha!"
"What's next? Taking out new loans to pay off old ones? Sukuna expanding his domain at the cost of skipping breakfast tomorrow? King of Loans? I think if you were put on a credit blacklist, you'd behave!"
Su Chen edited and narrated, and after seeing 'next week: hiatus', he thought it over and made a prediction for the next chapter.
"Next chapter: The strongest athlete is left with only one leg, Sukuna stands proudly.
The greatest battle record is etched in Shinjuku, this battle, Sukuna won!" — Bilibili 'Lao Da'
After uploading all of this, Su Chen remained silent for a long time. Once upon a time, he was also a fervent fan of Jujutsu Kaisen.
When Teacher Gojo was in danger, he roamed various short video platforms, bravely confronting and debating against all odds.
After all, who would flip the table right after eating?
And then... then he became a clown, not only mocked by fans but also looked down upon by his peers.
Until now, having become a hater, he had seen the light. Aren't haters also fans?
So, being famous for controversy is still fame, he thought. He turned to creating drama, which could both increase his popularity and earn money. Why not?
Moreover, to bring a dying or soon-to-die character back to life, isn't the greatest hope to make that character popular?
But now, Teacher Gojo is probably already rotten. I wonder if he can still be saved.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" The computer chimed. The views and comments on his newly released work were growing like crazy, but chillingly, there were few likes or donations.
Su Chen opened the comment section.
'What King of Curses, clearly King of Loans' (Guaranteed to win)
'...Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, forgot the end, Octagon Black Flash activated!!!'
'You're right, but Genshin Impact is an open-world adventure game independently developed by miHoYo... What did Genshin Impact ever do to you?!'
'Narrator: The athlete, after two months of preparation, still lost. The next one to appear is — Lao Da! Will he win?'
'He'll die, and Lao Da is up in heaven growing cotton for God~'
"Heh, a bunch of haters, watch out or I'll elbow you!" Su Chen's mouth twitched as he cursed with a smile.
He knew opening the comment section was never a good idea.
"But these views..." Su Chen looked at the backend, and after a quick calculation, his heart immediately sank by half.
A small blogger like him, who couldn't get advertisements, was already just scraping by. Now that things were this bad, how could he make a living?!
What should he do next? Go to an electronics factory to screw in screws with three diplomas?
Su Chen picked up the cold rice noodle roll takeaway box that he hadn't had time to eat, opened it, and took a bite.
Hmm... He silently put it back down.
Those who haven't eaten shit can try it.
Su Chen sighed heavily, slumping weakly into the sweat-soaked chair, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
"My life, like walking on thin ice..."
"Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining the ten thousand worlds golden list. Do you wish to bind it?"
"Bind... Huh?!!" Su Chen's dead fish eyes suddenly widened. What was that just now...?!
"Ding, congratulations Host for binding the ten thousand worlds golden list."
"Indeed, indeed! My fate is in my hands, not in heaven! Hahahahaha!" Su Chen burst into maniacal laughter in his cramped rental room.
"System, introduce its functions," Su Chen asked excitedly.
"Ding, this system is a feel-good web novel system. It can directly cultivate the Host into a Lord of the Ten Thousand Worlds. The Host only needs to enjoy himself and edit videos to be released into the Ten Thousand Worlds."
"When the Host creates the first video, he will immediately obtain the power of a Lord."
"Not bad, not bad, this kind of lazy system is perfect," Su Chen's eyes lit up, saliva flowing wildly, making his speech a little unclear.
This kind of invisible, behind-the-scenes life, while watching the reactions of everyone in the Ten Thousand Worlds, and occasionally giving them a tiny surprise, isn't that a thousand, ten thousand times better than his current life?
"So now it's time to consider the first video. What should I edit..." Countless worlds flashed through Su Chen's mind, and finally, his gaze slowly fixed on the screen.
"It's you!" With a thought from Su Chen, a short video immediately came into being.
Countless golden threads emerged from the void, winding and coiling, carrying an ancient and mysterious aura, piercing through space, traveling to countless worlds and connecting with them.
Finally, countless sky-covering screens formed... In the Pirate World.
"Whoa! What, what is this?!" Usopp stared in shock at the giant screen in the sky, his eyes almost popping out.
"Hehe, golden cotton candy? It looks so delicious," Luffy drooled.
"...Ah ah ah, the captain is an idiot who only knows how to eat. Is it too late to get off the ship now?!"
...In the Naruto World.
Rain Country.
"Food, is it food...? I'm so hungry, can someone save me?"
On the corpse-strewn land, Nagato stepped over bones, rain wetting his cold face, silently sliding down.
He looked at the golden screen in the void, his eyes subtly changing.
"Ten Thousand Worlds... Golden List. Perhaps it can bring pain to the world."
...In the Puella Magi Madoka Magica World.
"Madoka, remember, you must..." Akemi Homura's voice abruptly stopped. The girl's amethyst-like eyes reflected a golden glow.
ten thousand worlds golden list...?
No... Why has it never appeared before? Could it be that damned Kyubey again?!
Akemi Homura's eyes suddenly filled with endless killing intent, and she charged towards Kyubey.
"Madoka, no matter what, I will save you!"
...Ke Xue World
"How is this possible, Haibara? Did you give me a hallucinogenic drug?" Conan shouted, hitting his head, unable to believe it.
"Heh, the great detective really needs some medicine," Haibara sneered, walking towards Professor Agasa's house, but her trembling eyes betrayed her unease.
Could it be... The Organization's...? No, The Organization couldn't possibly have such capabilities.
"It's not a hallucination, but... but this isn't scientific!" Conan yelled from behind.
