Eclair and Momon, you two go eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s name was Eclair, and the special chick’s name was Momon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having watched the *Fairy Tail* movie, Lin Cheng knew that Eclair and Momon were the heroine and an important character from the movie *Fairy Tail: Priestess of the Phoenix*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were among the few characters in the *Fairy Tail* world who existed in the present day but were from four hundred years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momon was a special creation Eclair had made using her unique ability when she felt lonely while alone—a living being with a personality and a soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a year ago, when Lin Cheng was at a loss for what to do, it was the chick Momon, created by Eclair, who invited him, and he was eventually taken in by Eclair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll come help Lin Cheng wash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Lin Cheng’s reply, Momon flapped its little wings and flew in front of Lin Cheng, helping him wash the clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the course of a year, the relationship between Lin Cheng and Momon had progressed very smoothly, and they had become very good friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Eclair, it was just average; she was basically a familiar stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of some past experiences, Eclair did not particularly want to have new friends; having already attained immortality, she was unwilling to go through the experience of gaining and then losing precious companions again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why, despite having lived together for a year, the relationship between Lin Cheng and Eclair had barely progressed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I'll head back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry back to eat once you've finished washing the clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eclair looked at Lin Cheng and Momon, who were huddled together, her expression not changing much. Without saying anything more, she turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Lin Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momon watched Eclair’s figure leave decisively and smiled apologetically at Lin Cheng, saying, \"Eclair is always like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, regardless, Momon and Eclair are both my saviors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng looked at the apologetic Momon and didn't mind, smiling, \"If it weren't for Momon and Eclair taking me in back then, I don't know what would have become of me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar yet strange world, penniless, and with laws that weren't exactly sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng really didn't have the confidence that he would have survived in this world until the moment his golden finger awakened. ===== CHAPTER 3 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Time quickly reached the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing all his tasks, Lin Cheng curled up in bed early, wrapping himself tightly in the quilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the area they lived in was a desert region, it was hot during the day and cold at night; if he didn't wrap up tightly and caught a cold, it would be a disaster. Half a year ago, Lin Cheng had accidentally caught a cold and developed a fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Eclair who took her savings and bought medicine for Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with Momon’s attentive care, Lin Cheng managed to pull through and make a perfect recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tucked away in his quilt, Lin Cheng once again focused his attention on his golden finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Strongest Puppet System】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Host: Lin Cheng】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Puppets: None】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Emotion Points: 21】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skills: Puppet Summoning, Puppet Recall (No cooldown for short-range recall; 72-hour cooldown for long-range recall.)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【One initial puppet draw opportunity available.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Can I draw puppets from all the heavens and myriad worlds?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the somewhat ethereal system interface in his mind, Lin Cheng was a bit excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the system introduction that automatically appeared in his mind when the system was bound, Lin Cheng had already roughly understood the system’s functions. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-16T11:12:19.181Z","2026-06-16T12:23:18.059Z","Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9fb252f486b4c5506960052a8985c4fa19fc3715332af210e63f8a75214a2902","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-2",null,660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
