Please Stop Spreading Rumors About Me — They Keep Coming True

Lin Bo has one dream: open a small noodle shop and make sure absolutely no one ever learns his name.

This is a problem. Because in his world, fame IS power — the more people believe the stories about you, the stronger you actually become — and Lin Bo has just been cursed with a magic scroll that got FIRED from Heaven for making things up.

Now the scroll won't stop publishing legends about him. Ridiculous ones. “Lin Bo Killed a Demon Lord With a Single Sneeze.” “Lin Bo's Noodles Contain the Way of Heaven.” And thanks to one small rule of the universe — the harder you deny a rumor, the faster it spreads — every stupid story comes TRUE.

So now he's the most powerful man alive. He's also the biggest laughingstock in all the realms, with a fan club, a shrine, a pile of women who keep showing up for very different reasons, and a demon king out for revenge over the whole sneeze incident.

He just wanted noodles.

But the rumors are getting bigger. So is he. And something very old and very quiet has started to notice that the most famous man in the world might be the only thing holding the sky up...
