A Taiwanese gamer gets dropped into the middle of a whole new world—Lone Star City, a parallel American metropolis. It’s full of strange adventures, but the weirdest part? He wakes up in the body of his parallel-world self, with no memory of his real name, and just barely escaping a plane crash. To make things even crazier, the richest guy in the world—an American military tycoon—seems super interested in this totally ordinary Taiwanese restaurant chef. Add to that, his Russian roommate is deep in gang drama, and his fiery Taiwanese supermodel friend might just be the best partner he could ask for. As fragments of his predecessor’s past begin to resurface and more bizarre monsters appear, Nemo realizes his greatest challenge on the path to becoming a superhero is… the painfully tight uniform! About the Author The author, a Taiwanese writer, focuses on fantasy, supernatural themes, and other imaginative genres that defy easy classification. This work was originally written in Traditional Chinese and translated into English using AI, with minor manual edits (apologies for my limited abilities). The fiction remains purely original, created in my native language. If you’d like to read the original work, search for the Chinese title 尾刀俠 (Kill Steal Man) by 林賾流 (ZeLiu), or visit the serialized novel column here:https://home.gamer.com.tw/profile/index_creation.php?owner=laterne What to Expect: *The everyday life and rise of a superhero. *The practical inconveniences of being a superhuman. *A variety of monsters and kaiju encounters. *A touch of geopolitics and jokes about the United States (friendly teasing from an ignorant Taiwanese author). *English swearing (yes, we use them) + Taiwanese swearing (uttered as naturally as breathing by both genders, but it will not be used extensively in the story.) The author mostly uses English swear words since they sound "a bit more polite," even though the meaning is basically the same. *Promoting Taiwanese cuisine + Quirky Taiwanese habits. *Urban fantasy + Soft sci-fi elements. *Deep, gender-neutral friendships. *A hint of bromance but no romance (friendship takes over everything). MC is aroace. *MC navigating gray moral zones, focusing on teamwork—even working with villains. *The nuanced mindset of a transmigrator and the MC's slowly revealed past. *A period of daily updates, until the author runs out of steam. Some of the stuff you’re thinking about might show up in the story, yet the things you can't imagine now are definitely in there Author’s Note Actually, this story was created for my own mental peace, somewhat like the idea of "making and using it myself." That’s why you’ll find many parallel world concepts and subtle details, as I’ve always loved world-building ever since I started sharing my stories online. (Self-record, December 2023) I’ve always said that Kill Steal Man is a story I created as a way to help myself. But what can it offer to readers? Well, I hope that when someone feels down or needs to escape, they can find a quiet corner, grab their phone, and dive into this story. You don’t have to force yourself to feel happy or moved, and you don’t even need to escape the tough, reality of life. Just take a break from your worries, and lose yourself in the chaos of this alternate world. And who knows? You might even find some joy in the interactions between the characters.
