Rampant Fiction
Rampant

A former top-notch thief reigns in a parallel universe. Immersed in a completely unfamiliar world, he strives to forge a new era, though such a story may seem cliché. However, in this case, I hope to inject some fresh elements into the familiar narrative. The protagonist, a thief in his previous life, retains memories he shouldn't have acquired due to not drinking the Meng Po's footwashing water before being reincarnated. In this new world, what can he accomplish? The only viable option seems to be to continue his thieving ways, but on a grander scale – stealing the entire world. Of course, in a YY novel, failure is not an option. So, as long as the readers find it thrilling, it's all good. If they're not pleased, the author can indulge in some appropriate consequences. No need to hold back. Author's self-defined tags: passion, adventure.
