Otaku Witch

And then, with that bit of the most basic magic knowledge, she came up with the first self-created spell of her life, the "Lazy Person's Dressing Spell," which would later become the "Witch's Dressing Spell."

The next day, she concocted the "Lazy Person's Washing Spell."

On the third day...

During that time, Dorothy, who found the creation of self-made spells unexpectedly fun, began to churn them out at the rate of one new spell a day, with a productivity that would embarrass a sow.

And, in the process of constantly creating spells, she thoroughly digested the principles of basic spells that she had previously only memorized.

Afterward, she began pestering Adam every day to teach her higher-level magical knowledge, but Adam, busy earning money for his daughter's baby formula and diapers, didn't have the time to play with her daily. In the end, with no other choice, he bought her a witch's junior spellbook (a witch's version of a smartwatch?) and let her learn on her own.

That was Dorothy's first spellbook in her life, and now her spellbook has been continuously strengthened and upgraded based on that foundation, although it had been modified beyond recognition long ago.

Honestly, that children's spellbook was really crappy, and although it had the feature to link to the Magic Network, it was locked in the teenagers' mode. Dorothy couldn't see the splendid world of adult witches at all, only able to access some childish forums for enlightenment.

Dorothy, who considered herself an adult, couldn't possibly be content mixing daily with real little kids, so she headed straight for the only all-age facility that the lousy book could link to—the Magic Web Library.

The first time Dorothy entered the Magic Web Library, she was as thrilled as a rat who had stumbled into a rice barn, but she quickly despaired to find that the library left no room for freeloaders—there wasn't a single free book, as all of them were for purchase.

Fortunately, they didn't charge Witch Gold Yuan but a type of virtual currency known as Library Points, which made young little Dorothy breathe a sigh of relief since, at the very least, she didn't need to ask her dad for money. Besides, her dad was also quite poor; she didn't understand how a high-ranking mage could be so miserable—aren't mages supposed to be rich?

However, as an adult in thought, Dorothy wasn't the type to only reach out for her parents' help; she figured she could very well be self-reliant.

And looking at the Magic Web Library's rules, registering new spells would earn her Points, and if someone else bought your spells, the Points from the sale went to the creator.

Upon seeing this, Dorothy was relieved.

So why wait? Self-created spells were what she had in abundance.

Therefore, Dorothy registered an account as the "Witch of the Forest" in the Magic Web Library and uploaded her Lazy Person series spells as the Witch series all at once.

Back then, she felt it was unlikely for anyone to buy a spell created by a one-year-old little witch, thinking her spells were too simple and crude, akin to the scribblings of a kindergarten child.

Besides, creating spells seemed so easy, something a year-and-a-half-old little witch could do; surely adult witches wouldn't find it impossible, right?

They probably had better spells, no need to buy hers.

So, after receiving the bonus Points for uploading new spells, Dorothy went off to find some magic books she could afford to learn from, feeling an urgent need to recharge her knowledge.

These past few days, coming up with new spells was getting harder. No matter how high her inspiration was, knowledge was needed as nourishment, otherwise even a clever woman can't cook without rice.

By the time Dorothy had devoured the newly bought magic books and prepared to go back to the library with a batch of newly-conceived little spells for more freeloading, she was stunned to find that her account's Points had skyrocketed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And upon checking, her previously uploaded Lazy Person's spells had climbed onto the bestseller list.

Dorothy was shocked at that moment, convinced that the world must have gone mad for so many people to rush to buy the doodles of a one-and-a-half-year-old little witch.

Then she curiously went to check out the buyer reviews below.

The first few comments were quite normal, just as Dorothy had imagined; the adult witches held them in contempt.

"Who in their right mind would bother with such a trick-level, zero-ring spell? And it's so lackluster in effect."

"Let's be real, it's quite pointless. Don't you have hands to dress and wash up? Why resort to magic?"

"Who would waste valuable points on such a thing?"

"Only an idiot with too much money would buy it."

...

However, these normal comments did not last long, and soon enough, things started to feel off.

"Sorry, boss, I take back what I said yesterday. Witch teacher, you are a god, this is the most practical spell I have ever seen in my life."

"Trashy Witch pays her respects to the boss, it was my narrow-mindedness. Who would have thought that not lifting a finger could feel so good."

"Boss, update quickly, take my points."

"That's right, I am that idiot with too much money, boss I want more."

"Came here recommended by a friend, and I declare, a new annual godlike spell is born."

"If Witch teacher isn't on this year's annual godlike spell rankings, I'm not interested."

...

As she witnessed the feedback make a complete turnaround, Dorothy had an epiphany once again.

Turns out, it wasn't just herself who was lazy, but the entire world.

And so from that day on, the Witch of the Forest began her slaughter on the Magic Network, giving rise to a new generation of academic prodigies.

However, over the years, not all the spells she created were for the sake of laziness or daily life.

Now, as she thought about the imminent onset of her second real-life battle, Dorothy sighed, flipped open her spellbook, and revealed a series of spells which, although also uploaded to the Magic Web Library, had never been offered for sale.

The Fairy's Duel King series.

This series was inspired by the intuition she had gained from her many years of experience in Magic Web Duels.

Although there weren't many, each one was a trump card she used to dominate the duel arenas of the Magic Network.

As for why this series wasn't for sale? Well, she relied on these unique secret techniques for her chaotic Magic Net Duels—if she sold them, wouldn't that be revealing her weaknesses?

If she really wanted to sell them, she would have to wait until she had developed the Duel King 2.0 version.

"Sigh, I really just want to peacefully be a Research Witch. These combat spells really disrupt the harmony, but I have no choice. For the sake of assessment, for the sake of rank points, today the Philosopher Fairy Boy, the King of Magic Net Duel, must return to the martial arts world."

Dorothy sighed, thinking to herself that today she might shed a layer of her alter ego.

...Trashy Witch's contemplation...
