You guys draw cards in anime, and you drew me out?

Beside Li Li were two people, one was from the anime world, and the other was also from the anime world.

Their hair was messy, and they were unkempt, wearing "itasha" shirts printed with beautiful girls. At their feet lay unopened body pillows.

Even among anime fans, these two were the epitome of otaku culture.

The 190-pound fatty's itasha featured a motherly, mature young woman.

She had long silver hair, wore a revealing long dress, and had a benevolent smile that seemed to encompass all things in the world. Her "breathing holes" were milky white.

The 190cm tall guy's itasha featured a motherly loli character.

She also had silver hair and wore the same clothes, but because her body was smaller, the originally revealing long dress had become a loose robe.

With Li Li's extensive experience, it was not difficult to see that these were two forms of the same character.

This was very common in anime mobile games.

Wait a minute!!!

Li Li suddenly realized something. His scattered thoughts began to focus, and he froze in place.

Where am I? He looked around blankly.

He was squatting in the corner of an exhibition hall. Nearby, cosplayers were resting on their luggage. In the shops ahead, posters of unfamiliar anime were displayed, and the air carried the scent of fried chicken.

"I didn't even drink that much?" Li Li was astonished.

He remembered he was supposed to be sleeping at home. How did he suddenly end up at an anime convention?

Did I transmigrate?

Li Li immediately stood up and walked over to the tall and fat duo, initiating a conversation: "Hey, man, mind if I ask where this is?"

The two otaku put down their phones and glanced at Li Li warily, not replying.

Seeing this, Li Li rolled his eyes internally and changed his approach:

"I think the characters on your shirts are pretty cute. I was wondering which game they're from?"

"You don't even know Azur Lane?" the fatty asked, confused.

"...Uh, which Azur Lane?" Li Li was taken aback.

"Azur World! Haven't you heard of this mobile game based on mythology and history, with character designs that adhere to historical facts, deep gameplay, and topped the charts with 13 cities in revenue on launch? It's hardcore and not pandering to otakus!"

Li Li glanced again at the large-breasted character on the fatty's shirt and nodded:

"Indeed, hardcore and not pandering."

"If you're interested, now is the perfect time to start playing," the tall guy added, recommending it. "It's just in time for the 10th-anniversary event."

The fatty immediately chimed in: "And the new final chapter's story is amazing. Humanity was on the verge of extinction, but who would have thought Lilith's sacrifice of her Divine Spark would directly reverse time and start a second playthrough!"

"Who could have imagined that the vase character who was always by the protagonist's side was actually Lilith, the Creator God? Apep is completely a clown now."

"That's the prestige of a Creator God!"

The two otaku spoke one after another, spouting incomprehensible nonsense.

However, Li Li still managed to grasp the key point.

—Apep!

Apep was the ancient Egyptian god of destruction, the nemesis of Ra, and a deity in the simulation game "Creator Simulator's" DLC "Ancient Egyptian Mythology."

The reason Li Li remembered it so clearly was that he had just started a game of "Creator Simulator" before falling asleep.

And to test his new computer's performance, he had added every possible DLC (game official content expansion packs) and Mod (player-made game modifications) he could find.

Li Li's idea at the time was very simple.

"Creator Simulator" was a simulation game where different heroes, factions, and races were placed on the same world map, and then the player watched these civilizations develop and fight each other.

He crammed all the monsters and gods he could find onto the largest possible map, maxed out all the map resources, and wanted to see what kind of "gu king" would emerge.

"So, I might have transmigrated into the world of 'Creator Simulator', right?"

The moment he realized this possibility, Li Li's body suddenly stiffened. Countless golden lights flooded his vision, converging into a field of golden wheat before his eyes.

At this moment, Li Li knew that He was the creator of this world.

He was the source of all faiths with followers, the destination of all unaddressed prayers.

These plump golden ears of wheat were the fruits of labor accumulated since ancient times.

They were quietly waiting for His harvest.

To put it in plain language, these golden wheat represented the [Faith Points] in the game.

As players progressed, any individual who prayed, regardless of who they prayed to, even an evil god who was an enemy, would bring [Faith Points] revenue to the player.

Players could then spend [Faith Points] to improve the overall aptitude of a certain race, bestow blessings upon an individual, directly unleash divine punishment, or assemble a Divine Army...

In short, with the player's favoritism and constant intervention, even a female knight could defeat goblins and become the ultimate winner.

However, the game Li Li played had too many strange things added to it.

And most of the Mods were bundled in "packs," so even he didn't know the specific contents.

As everyone knows, any game, whether it's the base game or a later DLC, is a product that game companies sell for money.

They still have to consider balance to some extent.

But the producers of those mods don't have to follow any basic rules.

God Realm, Cthulhu, Mecha Age, Magical Girl, Cultivation Sects...

The sheer number of mods Li Li knew of was abstract enough!

Who would have thought he'd actually transmigrated into one!

Turns out, being a war criminal in an electronic game really does cost you cyber karma!

After organizing his current situation, Li Li concentrated his mind and looked at the wheat field before him again.

He had an extremely close connection to this wheat field; no one else could touch it.

But that was all.

Li Li had no idea how to harvest the immense amount of Faith Points before him.

He could only stare at this treasure trove and fret.

After all, Faith Points in the game were automatically acquired. Players only needed to click their mouse to decide the fate of a civilization.

Perhaps he could find some inspiration in myths and legends?

With that thought, Li Li withdrew his focus and projected his consciousness back into his body.

The two otaku were still enthusiastically recommending the game, having already gotten to the optimal farming routes for dog food.

It seems the gameplay for gacha games is pretty much the same in any world... Li Li coughed lightly and interrupted, "By the way, guys, which mythology is Lilith from? I haven't heard of her."

"Oh, she's from a niche, obscure mythology, the Creator God from Fandou Garden Mythology, Li," the chubby one said.

"Yeah, Lilith's character design is amazing. Her true form is an older sister type, and after burning out her Divine Spark for humanity, her remnants transformed into a loli in the second playthrough. She's a T0-tier 'human rights' support in the current version."

"This perfectly corresponds to how Li in the mythology transformed his own body into the earth."

The two otaku went on, one after another, introducing the waifus on their phones, completely oblivious to Li Li's awkward expression.

Li Li's ID on the game platform was "Fandou Garden's Number One Breakthrough Li."

This meant that every game of "Creator Simulator" he started, if he didn't specifically change the name, the default creator would be called that.

So, the "waifu, waifu" these two were calling out, Lilith... was she really a gender-bent version of himself?

Never mind, he'd called out to King Arthur as "waifu" plenty of times himself. If she was gender-bent, so be it...

Li Li let out a breath and continued listening to their introduction.

"It's a shame you're starting now; you probably won't be able to gather enough resources for a full pity pull."

"But over at the main stage altar, there are quite a few cosplayer girls reenacting the legendary sacrificial rituals."

"Holding the fresh mud of the Primordial Land, they pray devoutly at the altar surrounded by golden wheat ears, and the Creator will personally descend to the human world and bestow blessings."

"Just now, a Beast-Ear Race girl, while reenacting an ancient sacrifice, caused everyone near the main stage to get good drops."

"While the event is still ongoing, you should hurry over and try it!"

"You know about metaphysics, right? Metaphysics!"

Li Li looked in the direction of the main stage.

Indeed, there was an altar made of wheat ears nearby.

Quite a few cosplayers with exquisite makeup were holding handfuls of mud, striking various prayer poses under the long lenses of photographers. They really looked the part.

Now Li Li finally understood why he had suddenly appeared at the anime convention.

So, you guys, the anime fans, in order to pull for characters, imitated the sacrifices in mythology.

And ended up summoning me?
