Qi Condensation. Foundation Establishment. Core Formation. In the current world, only these three realms are known to be achievable. Nascent Soul is but a legend and the realms above it lost to the the long river of time. The modern era is known as Cultivation Civilization, a balance of power and civility, excess and moderation. While cultivation remains a secret practice, it has long since exposed itself to the mundane world, quietly intertwined with each facet of society. While the world appears to be at peace, what lies underneath is a conflict between human, cultivator, and demon, brewing for ages and waiting to implode. Yet in the wake of humanity’s rapid industrialization, qi—and consequently cultivation—is dying.

Besieged on all sides by demon and human, Xu Yangyi, our protagonist, strives to reach the apex, armed only with esoteric knowledge and his cool pragmatism, and to avenge the unjust deaths of both his parents. Embroiled in conspiracy and with adversity waiting at each turn, he is undeterred in his conquest to seek the Grand Dao and break free of this world’s shackles, claiming his title as the pioneer of an era!

Chen Mo's grandfather died suddenly one autumn morning.

People couldn't find out the reason, but they found yellow paper covered with R'lyeh language on his desk.

Since then, Chen Mo often saw a mysterious world called Fantasy Dreamland in his dreams.

This phenomenon continued until he actually stepped over the ninth step and entered the dreamland.

In order to investigate the cause of his grandfather's death, Chen Mo became an investigator at Miskatonic University, but when he participated in his first investigation mission, he saw something he shouldn't have seen...

What happens when someone grows up without the essentials of life—health, intelligence, or luck?

For Natsume Naoki, the first 20 years of his life were dull and miserable.

Until one day, a girl who claims to be a professional maid shows up at his door.

“How should we explain our relationship to others?”

“Just say I’m your childhood friend.”
