Several hundred thousand players are trapped in a gritty zombie apocalypse survival game just after game launch. There are hints that deaths in the game might be serving some other terrible purpose in the background of reality…
The main character, Liu Gan, is a quadruple amputee in real life. A quirk in the server code recognized his prosthetic limbs as ‘real limbs’ in game, giving him ‘normal’ arms and legs that nonetheless have the strength and power of steel limbs, and thus far more power than a normal player. With this minor cheat helping him survive the early stages of the game, Liu Gan sets out to find out what exactly is going on, and to endure as long as he can.
Lu Jiangxian died suddenly after staying up late, but his remaining soul was attached to a cracked blue-gray bronze mirror and fell into the vast world of immortality.
In the dangerous and unpredictable Dali Mountains, in a small village beside the Meichi River, a small family picked up this mirror, and then spread the immortal way and taught the immortal method, ushering in a magnificent new era.

Chen Yuan had transmigrated. He crossed over into the role of a villainous cannon-fodder family head in a fantasy wish-fulfillment novel. Yes, exactly that type of endlessly self-destructive antagonist. When a female member of the family fell in love with the protagonist, he would scheme relentlessly to obstruct it. Whenever the protagonist encountered heavenly treasures or earthly wonders in a secret realm, he would devise ways to seize them—yet never act personally, only dispatching family disciples to serve as "experience fodder" for the male lead.
Now, the heaven-blessed genius girl his family had painstakingly nurtured for years was preparing to sever all ties with the clan and elope with the protagonist.
"Family Head, our love is true. I implore you to grant us your blessing! If you refuse, I, Shen Xiao’er, vow to leave the Shen family forever and cut all bonds with it!"
Chen Yuan remained impassive. After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke, his voice deliberate.
"Since that is your choice... you will return the family’s Spirit Pupils. Guards—gouge them out."
