"Brother, why do we become adventurers?"

"The bounty for a goblin is three silver coins."

"No, you misunderstood me, man. I mean the ultimate goal of what we do. What's the point of working so hard all day long?"

"One goblin, three silver coins."

"..."

"Three silver coins."

"Okay, here's a task to clean up the goblin's nest, you..."

"Go!"

[Ordinary cultivation of immortality + Taoist immortality + avoiding danger]

In the world of cultivation, Lu Qing relied on the skills of avoiding danger to escape from dangerous situations time and time again.

He is low-key and just wants to live forever.

The peerless genius is full of vigor and vitality, and Lu Qing is practicing.

A peerless expert suddenly appeared, but Lu Qing was still practicing.

Later, the chosen ones of heaven, the most evil geniuses, and the most powerful men of the same period have all become dried bones in the graves.

Lu Qing, however, has transcended the boundless.

Disaster is always one step behind me. ——He said so.

In her third year living in this steampunk world, Ciel gained the ability to simulate both the past and the future.

These simulations turned into a game where she could act without restraint, and after countless trials, real life became a replica she could navigate as though speedrunning it.

Churches, potions, mutations, the Old Gods, witches, sealed artifacts… none of these have anything to do with Ciel. She’s just an ordinary girl who wishes for a peaceful life.

She just happens to be particularly skilled at snuffing out danger before it even begins.

After living in an ordinary life for more than ten years, one night, Ji Minghuan suddenly awakened a power that could "create game characters in the real world", and each character had its own main mission and unique skill tree system.

Since then, he has been uncontrollable. In the real world, he has constantly created new characters, developed skill trees, and cultivated character systems... As long as he improves the popularity of the character, he can strengthen the character's ability. So he began to make trouble. In order to attract attention, he did his best, like a shit-stirring in a group of superheroes. Repeatedly circling with the super villain.

When he came back to his senses, Ji Minghuan sat on the moon and stared at the blue star full of scabs. Behind him stood a group of full-level game characters. He couldn't help sighing innocently:

"I really didn't want to destroy the world at the beginning!"

Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the heavens.

Forbidden knowledge, sacrificial rituals, and forgotten histories—mystery is everywhere.

Dorothy, unexpectedly transported to this increasingly bizarre world, discovers that to survive and move forward, she must adhere to one principle:

Knowledge is power.

And forbidden knowledge?

That’s an even greater power!
