What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

The previous sentences were all fine, but as soon as this sentence came out, Lin Qi, who had been sitting slumped like a cat, suddenly sat up straight and her eyes became incredibly sharp as she looked at the person.

That's incredibly menacing!

"I... I was just kidding."

The man was so frightened by Lin Qi's gaze that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing the other party 'begging for mercy', Lin Qi's eyes gradually softened, and then she slumped back down, letting out a long sigh.

"Perhaps it really is true that everyone has their own ambitions..."

Seeing this, the others were helpless. Even Lin Qi, Chen Xiao's childhood sweetheart, couldn't persuade him. It seemed that their 'shared father-son' relationship had to end here.

After they left, Lin Qi got up and left the coffee shop.

As soon as she stepped out the door, a thought flashed through her mind.

"Does Xiao already know?"

Chapter Two: My Figurine Came True!

buzzing...

Chen Xiao, who had just left the coffee shop, was now leisurely riding his electric scooter home.

This city is similar to the previous one, but due to the 'worldview shift to urban supernatural', there are many more advertisements about superpowers in the city.

[If your child's body inexplicably stretches and they constantly talk about wanting to be a certain king, don't panic; they may be awakening superpowers.]

[If your child suddenly gains the ability to scale walls and roofs, and says they'd break [something] to bring [something] back, don't panic. They might have awakened superpowers.]

[If your child often can't hear what others are saying and is waving a kitchen knife around, don't panic; perhaps he has awakened superpowers.]

[If your child suddenly stands on their desk and shouts, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," don't panic. It's normal for kids to be a little dramatic; a good spanking will do the trick.]

It is indeed difficult to find a clam.

However, regarding the superpower setting of this world, Chen Xiao initially thought it was a template for the revival of spiritual energy, where everyone used to be Muggles, but suddenly awakened as things like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to fill the world.

But after watching various superpower videos and reading official explanations, he realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Most of the superhumans have an excessive desire to perform, as if they have been holding back for a long time and are finally able to release it, which is not at all like someone who has just awakened.

Two years, three years...

Or even earlier?

They might pretend to be a complete newbie, but they could have secretly mastered a set of moves and were just waiting to show off their skills to the Muggles.

There are also demonstration videos that perfectly blend superpowers and martial arts.

Afterwards, the Taoist priest in the video solemnly stated, "We must believe in science," and then, with a flick of his foot, he soared away on the wind, flying away right in front of everyone.

You're telling me that it's a newly awakened superpower, not the effect of some cultivation technique?

This inexplicably reminded Chen Xiao of a certain Chinese animation he had watched in his previous life.

Under One Person

The extraordinary individuals (superhumans) in the story are said to have innate awakening and acquired training. They are defined as people who can perceive and use the energy (Qi) within their own bodies.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but suspect that this world actually had an extraordinary background from the beginning, but it was well hidden by the authorities, just like "Under One Person".

Then the problem is coming.

Why do governments around the world want to expose this underworld?

Moreover, they don't just expose it; they also want to integrate the inner world into the outer world, making superpowers common knowledge.

That urgent look seemed to say: The big one is coming!

"Forget it, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls anyway."

Chen Xiao shook his head, shaking off the complicated emotions in his heart.

Generally speaking, time travelers are the ones who rise to the top when the sky falls, and given time, they become capable of single-handedly defeating the entire world.

However, he has neither a cheat system nor is he a naturally awakened superhuman. Apart from his memories of his past life and the [abnormal existences] around him, he is basically the same as an ordinary person.

It's not enough!

The simple and ordinary is the true essence of life.

I, Chen Xiao, want to live a peaceful life with my 'wives'!

Thinking this, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, gave his right hand a gentle twist, and the electric scooter sped up, soon arriving at the villa community where he now lived.

Back home, the aroma of delicious food wafted from the kitchen, whetting Chen Xiao's appetite even though he had just eaten at a coffee shop.

Whether in his past life or this life, Chen Xiao has always lived alone in this house, and he would even notify his family in advance if they came to visit.

In theory, there is no second person using the kitchen.

But if it were a stranger, Chen Xiao would have been wary and pulled out a baseball bat from under the sofa long ago, but he went to the kitchen looking completely relaxed.

"Ah, welcome home, Xiao."

Hearing the sound at the door, the petite figure in the kitchen turned around, and when she saw Chen Xiao, a sweet smile as sweet as an angel bloomed on her face.

"...Yes, it's you today, Mahiru."

Chen Xiao felt as if his heart skipped a beat, and it took him a moment to come to his senses before he answered somewhat awkwardly.

His gaze flickered to the side, but he was involuntarily drawn to the beautiful woman before him.

Her long, flaxen hair cascaded loosely down her back like flowing honey. Her amber eyes held a hint of worry, and her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll in a shop window, but with a warmer, more vibrant quality.

Her posture was upright and elegant, as dignified as a lady from a prominent family.

Even dressed in simple home clothes with an apron hanging in front, like an ordinary housewife, she couldn't hide her pure and innocent perfect temperament.

Like an angel descended to earth!

"Ugh, staring at me like that... I get shy too, Xiao."

Perhaps Chen Xiao's gaze was too obvious (fiery), because the angelic girl suddenly blushed and turned her head away, gently tapping his chest with her small fist.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

After giving Chen Xiao a little "punishment," the girl named Mahiru didn't turn around to continue preparing dinner. Instead, she took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Xiao, your childhood friend asked you out because of the school entrance exam, right?"

Chen Xiao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

"You refused?"

"Yes."

Mahiru first frowned slightly, then relaxed and stepped forward to hug Chen Xiao. However, due to the height difference, her entire face was buried in Chen Xiao's chest.

"You didn't have to go to this lengths for us."

Chen Xiao: ————！！！！

Putting aside the irresistible warmth of the girl in his arms, the heat from her breath seeped through her clothes and gently touched his skin, the sensation of heat mixed with tingling almost made his face change drastically.

Fortunately, having lived two lives, he still possessed some willpower, at least he didn't go berserk on the spot.

A moment later, the girl took the initiative to break free from Chen Xiao's embrace, took two steps back to create some distance, and the unnatural blush on her face was perhaps caused by the dampness from her clothes.

"Dinner will be ready soon, I'll call you then."

After saying that, Mahiru turned around and went back to the stove, her ears, as red as her cheeks, faintly visible through her flowing hair.

She didn't criticize Chen Xiao's decision not to go to school; she was touched but also felt a little guilty.

If it weren't for protecting the still vulnerable girls, Chen Xiao, who could have easily made a name for himself on the academy's grand stage, wouldn't have chosen to give up such a promising future.

"what……"

Chen Xiao stood there for a long time before he came to his senses. Looking at Majutsu, who was standing in front of the stove with her back to him, he couldn't help but say, "With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?"

"Greedy, so smooth-talking!"

Since they were already close, Chen Xiao didn't mute himself, causing Mahiru to shudder as if she'd been electrocuted after hearing it, and then she retorted in a flustered tone.

Chen Xiao laughed and turned to leave the kitchen.

Later, as he was returning to his bedroom, he paused slightly as he passed a room with its door ajar.

Looking inside, you can see a lot of equipment and raw materials piled up, as well as semi-finished models and miscellaneous items from failed productions.

"I'm not in the mood today, I'll continue in a few days."

Chen Xiao went up and closed the door, then went straight back to his bedroom.

Upon opening the door, a huge display case occupying an entire wall comes into view, filled with figurines in various poses, all of which are exquisitely crafted.

However, one of the display windows marked [Shiina Mahiru] was completely empty.

"I'm back~"

Chen Xiao greeted the figurines as usual.

Although he didn't hear any sounds like the seven gourds calling "Grandpa," Chen Xiao could vaguely sense that they were responding to him, which relieved his depressed mood after refusing Lin Qi's persuasion.

Then she collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

The cause of everything.

It was four years ago, when Chen Xiao was still in high school.

Once, his deskmate was talking about his favorite anime. There was a white-haired loli elf mage in it who really appealed to him. She was strong and there was a big age gap between them.

At that moment, Chen Xiao subconsciously remarked: "Isn't that Frillie?"

The student was completely bewildered.

Who is Frilian?

Only then did he realize that there was no such thing as a "small life" in this world, only Yingzhou Province.

The anime and manga industry in my previous life took a long time to develop in this world, so the anime and manga characters I liked in my previous life don't exist in this world!

After returning home, he began to slowly recall his past life in his spare time, writing down the characters from his memories in a document.

He even studied painting for a period of time specifically for this purpose.

Just like women's clothing only has 0 times and no number of times.

After drawing his favorite characters, Chen Xiao became dissatisfied with just portraits and started learning to make figurines. He even consulted a figurine expert from his school.

Finally, in his first year of college, he successfully created his first figurine.

But things got weird after that.

Can you imagine?

Late at night, just as you're about to head to the kitchen to cook something, you discover a tall, slender, purple-haired woman with a high ponytail standing with her back to you, wearing only a bare apron and a dark purple thong.

Chen Xiao was terrified and quickly ran away from the kitchen.

But then he realized what was happening.

Isn't that Saeko Busujima, one of the heroines from the early crossover anime/manga series, the one who famously dodged bullets with her breasts exposed, from Highschool of the Dead?

You should know that in the early crossover anime and manga fanfiction, Saeko Busujima's appearance frequency was just like how Hannah Abbott was always the first person the Sorting Hat mentioned in Harry Potter fanfiction!

but why……

Why did she appear in my kitchen?

When Chen Xiao calmed down and returned to the kitchen to try to find out what was going on, he found that there was only a Saeko Busujima figure there.

What exactly is going on?

At first, Chen Xiao thought it was a superpower he had awakened.

However, he did not experience any signs of awakening superpowers, and his physical abilities did not change at all. Subsequent tests at school also confirmed that he had not yet awakened his powers...

Why do these figurines turn into real people?
