Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day.

Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state.

You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome."

After traveling for three years, his hidden cheat finally awakens, and he purchases a long-neglected, barely functioning ranch in the Kalos region. The Pokémon on the ranch soon begin to undergo wondrous transformations. A kindhearted battle god Kangaskhan that can send a Snorlax flying with a single punch; a soft, sweet-smelling, universally beloved Cinccino with MAX beauty; and a Cyclizar suspected of being a reincarnator, wielding extraordinary abilities… … That year, Ash had just set out on his journey, and the gears of the world began to turn… That year, Team Rocket dominated Kanto and embarked on a campaign to expand into other regions. That year, Lance became the champion of the first-ever Pokémon World Championships. That year, Silas became a proud ranch owner and began a brand-new chapter of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TN: This fanfiction is heavily inspired by Pokemon A New Path/ Pokemon Not A Trainer this Time, so you will find quite a lot of similarities that the author copied but this novel is more of a Slice of Life, Cooking and interaction with the ranch Pokémon as the story goes further. Also so the female lead is probably Diantha but I'm not really sure of it yet even though I'm pretty far off in the chapters since the romance is really thin.

(Daily life, transmigration. The protagonist has the superpowers and appearance of Saiki Kusuo, but he is not completely Saiki Kusuo—this setup feels more relatable.) Due to a small accident, he transmigrated to another world and inherited the Saiki Kusuo template in a somewhat well-off family, discovering that he possessed superpowers. From the initial excitement, it gradually faded away. Later on, he just wanted to live a normal daily life, but unfortunately... Shiina Mahiru: "Saiki-kun is really such a gentle person."

Kitagawa Marin: "Whoa, I didn't expect Saiki to like cosplay that much too!" Shiraishi Junta: "Saiki-kun is the only one who notices me every single time, and he's so nice to me." Izumi Yuu: "For some reason, being around Saiki-kun always gives me this strong sense of security." Saiki Kusuo helplessly shook his head.

I've traversed into Genshin Impact, but the time of traversal is a bit too early. Hiss... Perhaps it's not necessarily too early. Everyone when they were young is also very cute. As for me, my communication skills aren't that great, but fortunately, I still have the ability to communicate with children. Although I couldn't immediately see them in their prime, being able to witness their childhood, isn't that also very good? I am a very ordinary person, without a system, and without any special abilities. But, at least I can still do some things that I am capable of doing. Make this world better, let each child's childhood have an extra wisp of beautiful and gentle breeze. I like cute little creatures, like the touch of purity in people's hearts, like leisurely daily life. My story should be very ordinary, not as magnificent as other traverser predecessors. But it should also have its own unique aspects that belong to me. The story originates from ten years ago, Genshin Impact's main storyline should be far off in the distance. So, before the main storyline arrives, do you want to come with me on a journey that lasts for ten years?

What if Madara at his peak couldn’t just blow up an entire country but an entire planet? What if Madara was as powerful as Shibai the Otsutsuki God? Haruto Hayashi, an ordinary child from our world, unfortunately transmigrated into the body of a young Haruto in the Shinobi world, an orphan and also a student at the shinobi academy who had zero talent for the way of the ninja unable to even knead a minuscule amount of chakra in his body. Afraid of the woes of the shinobi world, and afraid of Danzo capturing him if he shows even a modicum of talent, Haruto joins the I.T department as a civilian staff in the work force, working as a data logger by day even though he has a powerful template system with several powerful characters backing him up from various worlds like Megumin from Konosuba, Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, Unohana Retsu from Bleach and Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen. As Haruto faces the horrors of the shinobi world through his data logging job, he suddenly awakens a connection to the mysterious Dark God who provides him with the one thing he lacks, talent. Now unafraid of being stomped back into the board as a wild nail before he even shines, Haruto moonlights and raises terror in the Shinobi world through a different identity, Ultra fighter, inventing so many wild jutsu that Madara is forced to admit that Haruto is the strongest. “You have a Rinnegan? I have Domain Expansion Palm Of The Dark God.” “You have a Susanoo? I have the Dark God’s Descent.” “Come here now Madara…. you’ve been a bad boy… I must spank you until you admit that the Dark God is your father.” Along the way since everyone is hugging Haruto’s thighs he carries the Shinobi world along with him sending it into a new age of progress. ==xXx== "I Madara, declare you the strongest!"

War between the different races almost destroyed their planet. Because of this, an agreement was struck that all major conflicts from then on would be fought in the alternate world of Genesis. A massive world spell was cast with the help of the Elves, Dragons and Fairies; while access bands that allowed people to enter Genesis were created by the Dwarves and Gnomes. However, since its inception, Genesis became more than just a replacement battlefield for the races to fight their wars; the advanced AI Tia turned into a true second world, a place where people could live, relax and go on adventures.

:::: In the middle of a RE-WRITE :::: :::: original chapters will stay up as i update however you many find the re-written chapters dont match up with the original :::: :::: Chapters 1-74 have already been re-written :::: On January 1st, 1973, a girl is reborn into East Texas—carrying the full knowledge of a life that ended in 2025, when she was murdered in a classmate’s arson fire. She remembers everything… but the memories have no emotional weight. No grief. No nostalgia. No “I miss my mom.” Just facts, skills, and a terrifying calm. Her name is Noelle—raised by Jolene Buyers, a fiercely determined mother who refuses to let her brilliant daughter become a social casualty like the boys in town who get labeled “weird” and then trapped. Jolene builds Noelle’s life like a fortress: college classes, piano, dance, extracurriculars, and the kind of structured pressure that makes prodegies… and creates ticking clocks. Then 1985 hits. Jolene dies in a car crash— and George Cooper learns he has a daughter. Noelle moves into the Cooper household under an ironclad contract George already signed earlier that year—forcing the family to maintain the exact academic pipeline Jolene engineered. Mary is horrified: not because George cheated (he didn’t—this happened before their marriage), but because the town will still call Noelle what it always calls girls like her — bastard. And worse? Noelle is smarter than Sheldon, and she can pass for perfect in public. By the time the Pilot rolls around, Noelle has become the Cooper family’s “perfect problem”: • Sheldon finally has an intellectual equal who doesn’t cater to him. • Missy finally has a sister who sees her and chooses her. • Georgie gains an older sibling who respects hustle and teaches leverage. • George gains a second chance he doesn’t know how to earn. • Mary gains a living contradiction to her identity as “Sheldon’s protector.” • Meemaw gains a partner in crime—turning pattern recognition into profit. Together, Noelle + Meemaw gamble their way into legitimacy: two thriving gyms, a third location in progress, and a plan to rescue a drowning legacy family restaurant—all while Noelle builds her own future: cheer captain, nutrition certification, and a “sanitized-for-Bedford” debut novel that might survive the Baptist gatekeepers. In Medford, Texas, everyone believes the Cooper family is predictable. Noelle doesn’t. She’s the constant that changes the entire equation.
