Chapter 1: Wealth Conversion System
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
2009?!
He had returned back in time by 10 years?
It took Pei Qian a moment of uneasiness before he accepted the truth with relative calmness.
Ever since he graduated in 2013, he had been in two industries and changed jobs through multiple companies, meeting with extremely horrendous bosses while enduring the politics of corporate life.
In any case, he was nothing but a slave of society.
He was naturally ecstatic for something as wonderful as transmigrating to happen to him. Restarting life from 10 years ago, this was something that everyone could only dream of!
Completely awake now, Pei Qian flipped and sat on his bed.
What should he do next?
Right then, a transparent screen appeared before Pei Qian as lines of words began to fill up.
“What’s going on?!”
Pei Qian was startled and overjoyed.
Indeed, there would always be a system after transmigration! His cheat had arrived!
Calm down, calm down! These were the usual patterns of how things went, it was nothing to fuss about!
Pei Qian composed himself before long and looked at the message on the screen.
This was a menu.
At the bottom of the menu was a dialog box used to display dynamic information – that must be the instruction manual.
“Woah? This is a sure win system!”
“You’re not only providing me with funds, you’re even giving me money? A system with a conscience!”
Instantly, Pei Qian understood the functions of the system.
Even though both the System Funds and Personal Wealth aspects referred to money, they were completely different concepts.
The 443 of the Personal Wealth referred to Pei Qian’s total amount of money which amounted to 443 yuan – this was money he could spend freely.

As for the 50,000 yuan, those were the System Funds. According to the system’s rules, that amount of money could only be for business activities such as incorporating a company.
After a period of time, be it whether he profits or loses, it will be converted to his Personal Wealth based on the set ratio and he could spend it as he wishes by then!
“Exciting! Let’s take a look at the detailed rules!”
Pei Qian continued tapping on the screen.
“Such strict rules.”
Pei Qian checked through the 200 violations and his plans were eliminated one after another.
Speculating in property and purchasing of cryptocurrency were all banned by the system.
He could engage in normal investments and wealth management but their annual returns were too little to satisfy him.
Through the 200 violations, Pei Qian was not only limited in Profit activities, he was also limited for the Loss activities.
All in all, he was banned from doing anything illegal.
Pei Qian continued tapping on the screen to head to the next step.
“Eh, hold on. This ratio…”
Pei Qian looked at it carefully, realizing that there seemed to be a bug.
Wasn’t the Loss Conversion Ratio overly high?
If he were to lose all of the System Funds, he could convert all of it to his Personal Wealth!
Losing money would be a winning situation for him!
“I was given such a great Conversion Ratio through a random generation? Lady Luck must be smiling at me!”
“It’s a pity that the Profit Conversion Ratio is a little too low. But oh well, losing money is much easier than earning it!”
Pei Qian felt as though his luck was off the roofs!
Pei Qian contemplated for a moment before filling the space with his thoughts: Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Tengda represented Soaring in ‘Soaring to meteoric rises’.
That was his wish – for the company to soar to great heights as soon as possible!
With the final step completed, the words on the screen disappeared and the menu returned to its initial state.
Pei Qian pondered over the meaning of the additional notes.
He can’t have any unannounced products a week before settlement.
That made sense.
If there wasn’t such a rule, he could dump any remaining System Funds before the settlement into the development of the new product, causing the System Funds to empty out and that would be a loophole.
With this rule, Pei Qian had to push out all his products on hand a week before settlement such that they would be accountable for any profits or losses – this was a step he couldn’t avoid anymore.
“Another loophole closed. But, it doesn’t matter.”
“So, what I have to do next is to turn the System Funds from 50,000 down to 0 while increasing my Personal Wealth from 443 to 50,443.>
“I just have to start losing money within the rules, right? That doesn’t seem too difficult.” Pei Qian was brimming with confidence.
Opening a company while creating value and new products in a normal way.
As the company’s boss, all he had to do was let that normalcy go slightly astray.
Wasn’t that all there was to it?
Of all the companies created, there were only few which had succeeded while everyone else failed. It’s clear which was the easiest path to go about!

8 301Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?
8 558Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
