Yu Xiao, a terminal stage cancer patient with an incurable condition, had reached a point where she had accepted her fate. Living each day with indifference, she had already made peace with the idea of departing from this world.

One day, her phone automatically downloaded an app called ‘Four Hospital Patients’ Discussion Forum’.

“Fourth Hospital? Isn’t that the local psychiatric hospital?”

Curious, she tapped into the app. The top post read: 【Guide for the Morgue】

Yu Xiao:???

Second post: 【Cataloguing the Ghosts I’ve Encountered Over the Years】

Yu Xiao: No wonder it’s a forum from a psychiatric hospital.

【Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Talisman Master!】

This one seems quite intriguing!

That night, terror descended, and the hospital was engulfed in a crimson hue. Unnameable horrors lurked outside the wards, murmuring by the rooms, “Let’s see who’s been naughty now?”

————

During rounds that night, the inspection ghost lifted Yu Xiao’s blanket and stumbled upon the talismans by her pillow. The ghost was amazed to find high-level talisman.

The inspection ghost cried, “Why would advanced talisman appear at a beginner’s level?!” <<less

In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack’s aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.

But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack’s consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse — a magical one.

In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.

And now this new life — his last life — is the one he must lead… <<less

There was a prophet who declared, “A hero who will defeat the Demon King will appear from this village.” The village believed in the prophecy because there was a boy who was skilled in swordsmanship and magic.

Eight years later, the boy became a hero and defeated the Demon King. However, at the same time, he became a person who would never return.

Why did the hero die?

Four years after his death, as his achievements were being compiled into literature, the truth behind his death was about to be revealed. <<less

First Senior Brother is a hopeless romantic, Second Senior Brother carries a deep-seated blood feud. Third Senior Sister is caught in a love-hate cycle with the Demon Lord across three lifetimes, and Fourth Senior Sister is a femme fatale.

The Sect Leader left the sect for love, while the Martial Uncle fell into demonic cultivation for the woman he loved…

Neither immortal nor heroic, just handsome men and beautiful women playing house.

Only the Little Junior Brother is reliable, upholding the sect while dedicating himself to profound cultivation.

The heavens stretch vast and mighty, my Dao shall prosper!

With righteousness in his heart, grand ambitions, and the fate of the world as his responsibility—

“Disciple Li Xuanxiao, requesting the Sect Leader to die!!”

“……”

The Empress: “Open your eyes and look at me. I don’t believe your eyes are truly empty.”

Li Xuanxiao’s eyes widened like bronze bells.

The Empress: “For you, I would rather bury the entire world with me.”

Li Xuanxiao backhanded her with a slap: “What did the common people do to you?!”

“…….”

Blood Demon Patriarch: “Should evil truly deserve death?”

Li Xuanxiao: “If you don’t die, then do I have to?! Hurry up and die!!”

“……”

By chance, he encounters a gravely injured demoness—stunningly beautiful.

Li Xuanxiao: “Let’s see if my poison can’t kill you!!”

“Take my sword and feel a thousand holes piercing through you!!”

“…..”

Li Xuanxiao transmigrated one day—no system, no chosen one destiny, only the relentless pursuit of immortality.

But the sect is a bit unreliable.

First Senior Brother constantly attempts su*cide because of unrequited love.

Third Senior Sister brings the Demon Lord right into the sect.

His master, stuck in puberty, ran away for love.

Little Junior Sister is determined to seduce him.

The Empress sees him as her dream lover. <<less

What is it that makes a man fall in love with a woman at first sight?

Appearance? Aura? Wealth?

No, when campus prince and gaming expert, student Xiao Nai first saw Bei Wei Wei, what made him fall in love was not her extraordinary beauty; but her slim and slender fingers that were flying across the keyboard and her calm and composed manner!

Embarrassing, no?

At the same time, gaming expert Bei Wei Wei was on the computer methodically commanding a guild war and won a perfect and glorious victory despite being at a disadvantage; completely unaware of the fact that cupid is nearby.

Soon after basketball player; swimmer; all-around excellent student; and game company president, Xiao Nai, uses tactics both on- and offline to capture this beauty’s heart. Therefore this romance slowly bloomed. <<less

Before long…

A Wicked Witch, trailed by vengeful spirits and curses.

“Hey, Tin Can! Did I not tell you to stop causing trouble?!”

A Courageous Lion, descended from the bloodline of a hero.

“Uh, no matter what, this seems like a bit much, no? Huh? Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger? Um, Sir Knight? Sir Knight!?”

A Scarecrow, sealed away for pursuing the taboo.

“Despite appearances, I’m quite capable from the shoulders up. Below that, you say? Let’s see, if I had to give a cold self-assessment… perhaps an emergency shield?”

A Solitary Tin Knight, forever barred from human warmth.

[The ‘Tin Knight’ urges everyone to initiate the boss battle, saying the cut scene is over!]

This is a cruel, fairytale-like adventure story told by twisted protagonists.

…Maybe! <<less

He refines in the Yin-Yang Furnace, the Great Dao path resides within his heart.

Luo Chen traverses through the cultivation world with a proficiency panel, refining pills, mastering techniques, and studying arts, step by step advancing on the path to immortality.

***

Luo Chen awakens in a vast and treacherous cultivation world, frozen at the same age he was in his past life. Born with a terrible spirit root aptitude, his future as a cultivator is nearly nonexistent. With no sect to back him and no powerful lineage to rely on, he struggles to survive as a mere rogue cultivator, his path seemingly doomed from the start.

However, what he lacks in natural talent, he makes up for with sheer determination and intelligence. Gifted with an unparalleled talent in alchemy, he seizes every opportunity to advance. Yet, his abilities quickly attract the attention of powerful cultivators who see him as nothing more than a tool. They want to force him into a life of servitude, crafting pills for others while his own life is buried.

With unwavering resolve and a brilliant mind, he begins to climb the ranks, defying expectations and carving his own path towards the Great Dao. From an overlooked alchemist to a force to be reckoned with, his journey is one of resilience, defiance, and the relentless pursuit of immortality.

Will he break free from the chains of fate and seize his own destiny? Or will the ruthless world of cultivation swallow him whole?

“I knew it would turn out like this,” I thought even as I was involved in a hit-and-run accident.

At this point, it’s not surprising that all sorts of misfortune are heading my way.

However, everything changed from the day I encountered something after the accident. Coincidentally, through the opportunity I stumbled upon, I learned a fact.

“Hey, our genius actor! Since when did you become so good at acting?”

Choosing acting as my profession was destiny. I have to be an actor to survive.

More precisely, it’s to avoid misfortune. <<less

Xiao Yu was humanity’s greatest genius, a scientist whose intellect surpassed all others. He saw the signs of Earth’s impending doom a decade before it happened, warning the world of the catastrophe to come. But instead of being hailed as a savior, he was ridiculed, dismissed as a madman by his peers, and ignored by society.

Realizing that nothing could change humanity’s fate, Xiao Yu made a decision. He turned his brilliance toward survival. Using knowledge decades ahead of human science, he constructed the first true interstellar battleship—not for humanity, but for himself. And when the end came, he did what no one else could. He abandoned his mortal body, fusing his very soul with the ship’s central computer and escaping into the endless void.

Now, drifting through the vast and indifferent cosmos, he is the last remnant of a dead civilization. But he refuses to let humanity vanish without a trace. Why was Earth destroyed? Was it truly unavoidable, or was there something more sinister at play? To uncover the truth, he must push beyond the limits of human science. His battleship is just the beginning. Through relentless technological advancement, he will evolve, forging a warship that can traverse the stars, a fleet that can reclaim humanity’s lost legacy.

The universe is vast, filled with unknown civilizations, ancient mysteries, and dangers beyond imagination. But Xiao Yu will not stop. He will find answers. He will ensure humanity’s flame is not extinguished.

The journey into the unknown begins now. <<less

When natural disasters ran rampant, with extreme cold and storms spreading endlessly…

When the world mutated, zombies surged like tides, and eerie horrors emerged…

When the apocalypse descended, massive Devouring Abysses hundreds of kilometers in diameter began appearing around the globe…

When people looked up at the atmospheric cloud layers and saw the slowly emerging corpse of a colossal evil god…

From that day, people began to notice that daylight was arriving later and later, until the sun no longer rose, plunging the world into an unending polar night.

For survival, on that day, the Apocalypse Radio made its final broadcast to the world:

“Everyone, flee eastward—escape to dawn!”

…

Lin Xian awakened the [Mechanical Heart] ability. He could devour machinery to gain various mysterious skills, scan machines to obtain blueprints for manufacturing, and even use his thoughts to achieve unified control of different machines.

Thus, he found a 200-ton heavy gas-powered locomotive, towing specially modified storage, planting, production, medical, and living carriages, and embarked on a 320,000-kilometer journey along the planetary orbital rail—charging eastward toward the dawn! <<less

I became a staff officer of an empire whose defeat was certain.

The only way to escape from the empire with an 8-year mandatory service was through dishonorable discharge.

But then…

“You can be glad, Lieutenant. Thanks to your accurate instinct, our military could prevent damage in advance.”

The more I struggled to be discharged, the higher my performance evaluation became. <<less

“I saw with my own eyes that they used the finest, rustproof refined steel to make utensils and cans, filling them with just a little food, then casually throwing them away after eating.”

“I saw with my own eyes that they used giant beasts as tall as mountains to devour soil and rocks, digging out underground cities, just to park their steel carriages beneath the surface.”

“I saw with my own eyes that they fed glowing ores into an everlasting stellar furnace, unleashing a radiance brighter than the sun.”

“I saw with my own eyes all those indescribable things.”

“Their iron birds covered the sky, their steel ships filled the ocean, their war machines tore the earth asunder, and their gods walked upon the world.”

“You must think I’m mad.”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

“It has already seen you.”

***

Oil is Its blood.

Thick smoke is Its breath.

Ore and steel are Its food.

The countless cargo ships in the harbors are Its myriad offspring.

The place of origin stamped in the corner is Its silent mockery.

They claim they are mere mortals.

Child, you’d best not argue.

You must understand:

Their technology is beyond comprehension.

Their production capacity is unimaginable.

A mere glimpse of their creations will drive you insane.

Their morale surpasses even the most fanatical worshippers of dark gods.

How will you stop them?

With your sword, child? Or your flesh and blood?

You should be grateful that they still consider themselves mortals.

【A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady'!】

In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory.

“The universe is the abyss.”

Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars.
