Ice and snow sealed away civilization, and storms extinguished steam—this was the post-Victorian era when a prosperous steam-powered civilization was destroyed by the harsh cold.

As a bishop banished to the frigid north by a mere decree, he fights for lost power, forging a fortress of faith amidst blizzards and apocalypse, guiding lost sheep through mercury and steam.

“I am not a shepherd, I am just a psychoanalyst who couldn’t find a job and was looking for another one.” — Bishop of the St. Lucia Winter Cathedral, Diocese of Speyside, the prayer master of the seven northern cities, the gatekeeper of Eden, the enemy of the frost giants, the remnant of the golden age, the keeper of the secrets of the old civilization, the spiritual mentor and psychiatrist of legendary knights, archmages, kings, popes, the poor, and wanderers. Siren Dellandt said this.

"High-level mages often only need the simplest operations." This is what the weapon master, the perfect assassin, the outlier among spellcasters, the promoter of the enhancement school, and the founder of melee mages said.

(Behind the scenes + no female lead + multiple identities + role-playing + fabricated power struggles + some Gu Master settings + multiple identities have their own side stories)

Lin Xu transmigrates to a fantasy world and unexpectedly awakens a system; as long as people believe what he writes in his novels, it will become reality!

During the sect competition, the auditing elder stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "What do you mean by 'innate, naturally acquired cultivation technique'?!"

A powerful cultivator of the Cosmic Path, initially dismissive of a junior named Hong Ting who also cultivated the Cosmic Path, suddenly changed his expression and frantically demanded, "Tell me what the Cosmic Path Killing Move - Future Body is?!"

Above a certain dynasty, countless hands with varying numbers of fingers flew in.

The emperor stood frozen in place, dumbfounded as a giant hand with eight fingers easily snatched the immortal sword from the core of the national protective array. He couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is this killing move? How can it be so sinister?!"

The Reverse River of the Heavenly Secret Realm rushes down from the Central Plains, blocking countless powerful cultivators outside the river.

Lin Xu, however, is carrying a dying girl (the protagonist's female alter ego) in his arms, and resolutely swims upstream in the river that can wash away all will.

As the saying goes: "Even immortals retreat in the river of adversity; perseverance cannot withstand the tears of love."

The first thing Costa Ries did after transmigrating was to top the police department's wanted list. Worse still, the "Tribunal," the supernatural organization the original owner had served, planned to eliminate him as a legacy issue. Fortunately, he possessed the ability to continuously level up by fulfilling contracts, and a reliable, wealthy female teammate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted long in this godforsaken place. ...New Lund, the steam-powered capital of the Beside Empire, a metropolis where progress and decadence coexist. Here, if you don't want to become a subject of astral magic experiments or raw material for bio-alchemy, it's best to stay away from the unlit streets at night.

A particularly nostalgic story. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Billy Wilder… Roman Holiday, The Seven Year Itch, Witness for the Prosecution… From black and white to color films, let's revisit that creative cinematic world and those old movies that still seem interesting today.

[Farm, Survive, Gather, Evolve, Grow] Overnight, an entire community was transported to a primitive wilderness teeming with bizarre creatures. Survival became the primary obstacle. Food, water, disease, wild animals, mutants... As residents struggled to adapt, they discovered despairingly that this was only the beginning. With each period of survival, the community would cross into even more dangerous territory. Fortunately, there's always a way out. Each home in the community is an expandable, foldable space. With cards, residents can construct buildings, cultivate farmland, tap water sources, raise pets, and even set up a recruitment station... Qin Ziwen awakened the "Daily Settlement" feature, allowing him to settle his daily balance after midnight and receive various rewards based on his score. "Survival game? I thought I was playing a management game..."

[Practice makes perfect!] [Today's effective practice reached 100 times, resulting in one "enlightenment"] In this high-martial arts world where fists can reverse mountains and rivers, and legs can shatter stars, Xu Wuyi, a martial arts student at Honghe No. 1 Middle School, unexpectedly awakened a panel called "Martial Arts Diligence Record": [Martial Arts Diligence Record] Martial Arts: Basic Body Tempering Method Current Realm: Beginner (97.3%) Martial Arts Characteristics: Not Activated Assessment: Weak foundation, untapped potential. This panel doesn't directly help him; its only function is to quantify and record every bit of his effort and provide the fairest reward. When Xu Wuyi practices the fist technique once, he only receives a slight improvement; when he practices ten times, his proficiency improves; when he practices diligently one hundred times a day, an "enlightenment" quietly descends; when he practices a thousand times a day...

—For those readers who want to avoid pitfalls, this is a mixed fantasy novel with a single female protagonist and a slice-of-life story. The author believes that magic is not something that can be accomplished simply by imagination. Otherwise, what would those legendary mages who have been studying it for so long be researching? Therefore, it will contain a lot of complex magical academic theories.

—If you don't want to explore how magic comes about or how it's used, and feel it's pointless, you can leave.

—Those looking for a harem story can leave now. This is a single-character story with a female protagonist.

—Those who wanted to become gods can leave now. I just wanted to live a simple yet fulfilling life.

—It's set in the Middle Ages, but not that dark. It just illustrates that the world had a low level of productivity. The style of houses, clothing, etc., conforms to "ancient Western times." Don't force reality into it. If you're looking for dark stories, you can leave now.

—The characters are good people, the king is a good king; not everything is about tyranny and slavery. Reality is already hard enough, so I like good people, and I like happy endings. Those who want to find fault with the protagonist can leave now, because no one is targeting the protagonist, and there's no face-slapping.

—This work references many other works, but it's not a fanfiction of any particular work. I hope that since you're reading a novel, you'll take my version as the standard, since many fantasy works are based on games, and games are for playing, not for real life. There are many things I need to rationalize. If you can't accept this, you can leave.

—The opening has a connection to the world before the transmigration. If you feel that the poison is gone, you can leave directly. If you want to continue reading, I can clearly see that this connection, apart from the divine consciousness, does not affect the later text. So there is no need to teach me how to write novels and say that this part is superfluous. I wanted it to be there, so I wrote it.

"From this day forward, you are the Sect Master of Qingxiao Sect!" After uttering these words, his master abandoned Li Qingqiu and his fellow disciples, descending the mountain to seek immortality alone. On this very day, Li Qingqiu activated his Daoist lineage inheritance. He could view his disciples' loyalty, aptitude, and destiny through the lineage panel. With each step Qingxiao Sect took in its development, he could also replicate the destiny of a disciple. Rising from the martial world, he cultivated immortality amidst the mortal realm. The world of martial arts was teeming with outlaws, their lives filled with vengeance and vengeance, while the powerful and wealthy sought immortality at the highest levels, disregarding human life. In these turbulent times, Li Qingqiu led Qingxiao Sect step by step upwards, transcending worldly concerns. In the vast world of cultivation, numerous Daoist lineages stood, vying for supremacy. Qingxiao Sect, originating from the mortal realm, became the immortal sect of longevity in the hearts of all. The cultivation world only knew of Li Qingqiu's ability to recognize talent, his ability to cultivate generation after generation of prodigies...

After traveling to another world, Su Wen found himself transformed into a skeleton. Being a skeleton was pretty good. He could patrol his territory, mine, play with slimes, and even piece together his own foes after being torn apart by heroes. Then one day, Su Wen encountered the dying Goddess of Light and accidentally caught a tiny bit of the power of light. Faced with the goddess' tearful pleas, Su Wen reluctantly agreed. Restoring the glory of light is our duty! … “You’re a skeleton, why do you glow at night?” “Why is your necromancy so blinding?” “Help! What did I see? A necromancer using holy light?” Research has revealed that death ray is an extremely rare offshoot of holy light. And holy light belongs to light!
