Chapter 35: Money to Burn
You just received $ 1 Million! What would you do?
OP's Answer: spend it all on anime tiddies (especially on mobage).
"What the heck, that's so friggin idiotic. If I were to get them, I'd upgrade my gaming gear."
"I'd buy a luxury condo and live the rest of my life as a NEET, haha!"
"Yep, with that much, why bother working. When it runs out you can just return to your parents' basement anyway. Or you know, go to another world."
"Hahaha."
"Just think, how many hundreds of thousands of Instant noodles could I buy with it."
"Why must settle for instant noodles when you could just go to an Italian buffet or something?"
"Instant noodles are the best tho."
"As for me, I'm thinking of buying all the marijuana I got and smoke it in front of the presidential building."
"As if the president weren't high already, lol."
"Any newfags thinking of investing in stocks or real estate better forget about it. You don't have enough brain to best those money-grubbers."
"I don't really need that much money. I live in a third-world country where I could just download everything. One million dollars in here already made me a billionaire lol. Maybe I should just put it in a bank or something and just live out of the interests."
"...and then someone stole it all from you one day."
"C'mon man, no need to be such a spoilsport."
"These anonfags think they already got the money. Go get a life."
"If we had one we wouldn't be lurking on this thread."
"I had a full-time job but I hate my life, can I join in?"
"I already have a girlfriend."

"Go kill yourself, riajuu."
"It's a lie, the only girlfriend he'll ever have is his right hand."
">tfw someone actually believes it."
"Hello, I'm a girl."
"Tits or GTFO."
"Yes yes, we're all girls here. Am I kawaii enough uguu?"
"We all know everyone on the internet are anime girls."
"Sage."
"It goes in email field you dumbass."
...
One million dollars huh.
If I got one, I could just quit my job and live my life without a care. I didn't have to waste every day working on a job with minimum wage, yet the work hours were long af.
Sometimes I thought, why didn't I have any talent to make money? I wish I was like Kram Bucker Zerg of the Zerg race or Adun Gates from the Protoss race. As a lowly Terran, I could only buckle on my mobile suit and do tons of hard labor, every single day.
Yet, what did I know about those two billionaires? I knew from the very start they were very intelligent and had supreme talent compared to a pleb like me. They seem to live their life in Easy Mode like they had a Cheat or even an unfair System.
Why did they deserve to live like that, when I have to spend so many years like this?
"Because you suck."
Deep down, the only answer I could think was this.
Yet, I know, I no longer wish to continue on this kind of lifestyle. It's draining me so much, I'd feel like dying.
As per the consultation with my unreliable folks at TerranChan, I quit my job to became a librarian and study a lot of things.
Even if I was an idiot, a snail pace for learning, knowing and experiencing was a lot better than nothing.

I might not be able to make billions of dollars like Kram Zerg or Adun Gates but I did not need so much money.
It's enough for me to just live leisurely making few bucks and be satisfied with what I got.
Those billionaires might live a life filled with satisfaction, but no matter what, it's their own life—not mine. I still got my own.
Maybe I just did not want to see the struggles they had to face on rising to the top and continuing to sit down on such pedestal, nor I plan to do so anyway. They live in a completely different world from me. No matter how much I tried to, I sure as hell would not understand.
They had their own role and it's not my duty to understand them.
I'm on my way to find my own and hopefully, I'd find it soon.

Spirit of the Gamer
Waking up in a new world with a odd Gaming power? Not the worst thing... Waking up in a world of hungy ghosts, genocidal reapers, and things not quite covered in manga? Well, that was a little harder to adapt to. Story is OC inserted into pre-canon Bleach. This story will be a massive derail from normal Bleach. Expect random ideas, extremly slow start up, and more focus on characters and trying to be a better person. I don't own Bleach. The who does is Tite Kubo, please support the offical Manga/Anime.

The Arduous Path
Life has never been kind to Alex, but today, today was just one of those days where life sought you out, bent you over, and had her way with you until nothing but a jumbled mess remained. Today was one of those days. Just as the small housewarming party for one of Alex's friends was taking place in the dead of night, the starry sky opened its cosmic jaws and thrust upon the world its wonders and terrors. Frantically trying to make heads or tails of the situation while not dying is going to prove itself much more of a challenge than Alex ever expected to encounter in his miserable but safe life. Still, behind all the adrenaline and danger of this fateful event, Alex feels there may be more awaiting him than simply a grim future, and he will not let this opportunity escape his grasp. P.S - I'm aiming at making this a pure cultivation story, so no blue boxes, I'm sorry. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Party Leveling
{A new notification has arrived.} In front of a few people, these hologram-looking messages appeared and changed their lives in entirely different forms. Things such as growing stronger, becoming smarter, feeling more agile, became possible within short periods of time from that point onwards. The one who regretted his weak healing abilities for years began to chase after the magic powers that could turn reason and sense upside down while keeping his goal, this duty to the wrongs he committed. The other one, who complained about his lack of strength, strove towards the path of an unbeatable champion to protect those he held dear. When the person who had everything found a path to desire for more, not fearing the consequences and the obstacles, he also began to walk onwards to a new life. And among them, the one who walked aimlessly but also never stepped down on the choices he made along the way, was the one who couldn’t be ignored nor disrespected by anyone. The “Player” system that they all obtained, and which granted them several abilities, knowledge and directions, was also the beginning of an entire new era in this world where monsters, magic and technology, were already common and wide-spread. There’s not a single hero, but after committing mistakes after mistakes, learning from the painful and thorny path that they take, and growing as people with the people that surround them, then someday... there will certainly be saviors. [Quick reminder that this novel is also being published in Webnovel(dot)com and ScribbleHub(dot)com]
