In the late autumn of 1900, the British writer Oscar Wilde passed away at the Hôtel d'Alsace in Paris. His close friend, Robert, handed the manuscript of his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, to a mysterious gentleman. Over a century later, a Chevrolet Impala galloped across the ancient lands of North America. A young man from London gazed up at the stars and began a long, endless hunt. Vampires, werewolves, alchemists, wizards—countless aliens and fallen creatures knelt before the black figure. Another late night, silver swords clashed with fangs, sparks flying. "Hello, my name is Dorian L. Gray, a hunter in the employ of the Conspirators." The young man smiled gleefully, decapitating the ugly head—and pulling out the arm that had pierced his heart. "As you can see, the only thing I have in common with my ancestors is this—we,...

In the vast and boundless Shenhuang universe, Fan Lingyi was once the supreme being, revered by all and powerful. His power was enough to shake the stars, and his reputation spread throughout the Shenhuang continent. However, the gears of fate were turning in secret. In the conspiracy woven by the people he trusted most, Fan Lingyi was betrayed, fell from the clouds, and the fire of life was almost extinguished. But fate did not abandon him completely. In the endless darkness and pain, Fan Lingyi miraculously survived. With a heart full of hatred and an unyielding will, he embarked on the difficult road to return to the Shenhuang continent. This time, he is no longer the supreme who simply pursues glory and power, but

First Encounter. In front of the teaching building, fourteen-year-old Xu Can sat on the steps, sobbing uncontrollably. Suddenly, a voice above her asked, "What's wrong?" Startled, she looked up, then was stunned by her beauty. Through teary eyes, she sniffled, held her breath for a few seconds, and, unwilling to tell the truth, said, "Teacher, I... I didn't do well on my exam." Tong Mingyue then sat down beside her and chatted with her. The next day, Tong Mingyue passed by the school's bulletin board. She saw Xu Can, the student she had painstakingly tried to comfort, ranked first on the grade's overall list, with almost perfect scores in every subject. "..." 2. Despite a lifetime of hard work, she couldn't overcome the burden of her background. Before being forced to jump, Xu Can's only regret was not being able to see Tong Mingyue one last time. When she opened her eyes again, her computer screen showed a blank document. She was back in her second year of university. Failing courses, no money, and two more professional exams looming... This time, Xu Can was gone.

A college graduate, unable to find a job for three years, had to take the postgraduate entrance exam. After another three years of unemployment following his master's degree, he was forced to pursue a doctorate. Under the relentless pressure of classmates who jumped to their deaths every year because they couldn't graduate with their doctorates, this unfortunate, PhD-level nerdy guy finally endured the final stage of his academic life. Just as he was about to land his first lucrative job, he was abducted by aliens for human experimentation. But that wasn't the worst of it. Even worse, after being ruined by the aliens, he was abandoned on a planet with an unknown environment… Prologue – The Birth of a Nerdy Guy "Ten thousand miles of wind and smoke rise, gathering into banners to slay the black dragon." Luo Yanqi is my name, but its meaning is definitely not as elegant as this poem my father wrote. My father was a heavy smoker, always puffing away. The first half of the poem, "Ten thousand miles of wind and smoke," is purely a figment of his imagination. The second half of the sentence refers to a dog older than me. My father liked to take a deep drag of smoke and then blow it into the dog's nose, amusing himself by watching the dog struggle. The dog died when I was five. Despite my mother's strict prohibition, I ended up being the one blown into the dog's nose, which is why I absolutely hate smoking, especially secondhand smoke. In middle school, I gradually developed a dislike for men who smoke, and by high school, I hated men altogether. Unfortunately, as a human whose gender symbol is upward-pointing, I'm not very attractive to women, which means I have practically no friends. Besides finding solace in novels, comics, and games, I'm seen as a very eccentric person by others. People like me have an unflattering nickname from the Land of the Rising Sun—a shut-in!

The silver sword slays demons, the meteorite iron breaks the shackles, and although the crow feathers are soaked in blood, they will eventually reflect the morning sun.

Closely adhering to the original Witcher universe, the game takes place after the main events of Geralt's story, with the Northern War drawing to a close and the world in a fragile state of reconstruction. Witchers are increasingly rare, their fear and hatred undiminished, but the potential for "monsters" persists. The protagonist, Leon, calls himself "Shadow Raven." He is not from any known school of thought, but an unexpectedly surviving experiment. A secret organization seeks to harness the mutant technology of witchers and combine it with other powers to create more powerful and controllable super soldiers/assassins. Leon is one of the few surviving subjects, but his control has deteriorated. In his quest to understand his origins and the meaning of his existence, Leon becomes embroiled in a new conspiracy orchestrated by his "creators." He must choose between saving the world and saving himself—to avoid becoming a complete monster or a tool.

After the Nine Kingdoms War, the delicate balance of Kalan Continent was restored.

However, the undercurrent of the times is quietly flowing, and countless conspiracies are being carried out around Ayukasi.

The gradually agitated Blood Abyss, the increasingly weak First Candlelight, the increasingly chaotic stars, the disappearance of the unknown mountains in the Far North, the drying up of the ancient sacred trees... All these signs indicate the arrival of a new era.

How should Ayukasi, who is in the hurricane, deal with all this that is coming to him?

Whenever you tear the chest of the melee profession with weapons, you will find that the spell-casting chanting of spells is a fucking thing. However, when the master doesn't need to sing spells, and he can release all the spells and spells in an instant, what will happen? At the same time, if this master is still cruel, cunning, evil in mind, dark and grotesque. So... I think you have understood what I want to write.
