Arthur Thorne rose from his throne of brass, corpses, and pipes, donning a crown forged from alchemy, steam, and blood, and taking up the scythe entwined with fate. He looked up. The twinkling stars in the sky were all enemies. But before that... Arthur Thorne, newly transported, faced a grave problem: how to hollow out his body and survive when alchemy, medicine, and conventional supernatural powers proved ineffective.

Transmigrating to another world, while other adventurers followed the ancient strategy of "warrior tanks, mage deals damage, priest heals," Renn discovered that he could obtain the core talent of every monster he killed, leading to a complete absurdity: the berserker's [Blood Frenzy], honed over ten years, was obtained by slaying a single goblin. The mage's prized [Fireball] was merely a generous donation from a mutated shaman. After slaying the Goblin King, he accidentally acquired the [King's Aura]. By swiping goblins, Renn successfully transformed himself into a well-rounded warrior. Until one day, the Demon King's army besieged the fortress, and the heroes trembled in fear. Amidst the despairing gazes of the crowd, Renn silently pulled out a manual that lit up all the monster icons. "Don't panic." "I'll go to their lair behind the camp and get some magic immunity..."

[Loading information... Today's keywords: Rich woman's happy ball, black stockings noodles...] In the blink of an eye, young Li Pu found himself transformed into "ingredients" in the kitchen of another world—bound hand and foot, with human legs hanging on the chopping board next door, and a mountain-sized female butcher wielding a steel wool ball, her laughter chilling. Good news: He has a cheat code! Tifa is also tied up next to him! Bad news: The information he obtained on the first day is a bit outrageous... [White information: You can have an in-depth discussion with the head chef about the principles of "being human."] Li Pu: "This is...!" [Red secret: To keep the "ingredients" happy during cooking, the kitchen keeps animal aphrodisiacs on hand, which can counteract Tifa's powerful anesthesia...] Looking at Jerusalem, her white vest cut open and panting, Li Pu felt that this information... might not be so bad after all? Thus, armed with absurd information, he began to struggle for survival in a terrifying world where flesh was distorted and evil gods were rampant! His only way to survive is to use the most outrageous tactics to conquer the wildest goddesses! Tifa is afraid of ghosts? Got it! Let her see what a kaleidoscope of ghost stories looks like!

Lin En felt that the sole main quest, "Make the Vampires Great Again," seemed a bit unorthodox—[Prevent extravagance and waste, improve Vampire cohesion, current quest completion 0.1%]. If that was still normal, what was next? [Induce the permanent death of a Vampire Earl, eliminate pests from the team, current quest completion 1%.] [Help the adventurer team break the 35-year-old death curse, increase the Vampires' reputation, current quest completion 10%.] [Make the Vampires' offspring charitable, become neutral, current quest completion 20%.] ... [Significantly increase their strength, become an elite adventurer, current quest completion 30%.] When Lin En was the only pureblood left—[Become the Vampire's Ruler, current quest completion 50%.] At this point, Lin En thought, "Since that's the case, can I play a little wilder? After all, greatness needs no definition."

Where can I find a high-quality workforce that's free, willing to endure hardships, and available on demand? After finally securing his own plot of land on the chaotic borders of the Empire, Damien, a Dragonborn night watchman with a lord system, fell into deep thought. A tide of golems? An army of the undead? Mass-produced servitors? The Fourth Scourge? After much deliberation, he arrived at a nearly perfect answer that capitalized on its strengths and minimized its weaknesses: sandbox isolation, allowing players to remotely screw in on their computers! Thus, a highly flexible, ultra-hardcore skeleton assembly game called "Bone Puzzle" was born. To prove they weren't cowards, millions of medical students toiled tirelessly. Then came the similarly named "Aoyao Yao," the bizarrely named "Zhenbi," and the nearly online-banned "Steel and Gunpowder"...

Chen Lin, a botanist from the Dark Academy , was reduced to a lowly apprentice at the predatory Thorn Garden, a Dark Wizarding Academy. Near death, he awakened the "Seed of Origin," granting him the incredible ability to analyze all things and control magical plants.

Since then, he has repeatedly teetered on the brink of life and death, avenging vengeance with delight in the wizarding world.

In 1408, the Timurid Khanate had fallen from its heyday, the Ottoman Empire was on the brink, the Byzantines had remained resilient for a century, and the Mamluks were trembling with fear as they recovered their lost territory. Peace seemed to have returned to the world, temporarily. However, this world was somewhat different from what Li Rufeng remembered—generals with horns, emirs with tails, sages with clairvoyance, and slaves who rotted but remained immortal... Having traveled to the Timurid Khanate, Li Rufeng was grateful for a cheat code for Mount & Blade II, allowing him to steadily advance as a shaman in a small steppe tribe, awaiting the right opportunity to "mount and blade" across this vast Central Asian landscape. [Note: The following appears to be unrelated and likely a separate topic.] Dear readers, I offer you a sincere chapter. Starting a new book is undoubtedly the happiest time, because it's time to dig new holes. This project is a foray into a new genre. My first book was a book-starved adventure, a mishmash of The Witcher set in the Warhammer 40k universe. The second, influenced by Cyberpunk 2077 and The Boys, aims to be a Punisher-esque story. If you're interested, check out the author's other works, "The Witcher of Games" and "I Give the World Destruction and Rebirth," on QD. This third book, "On a Young Dream," is inspired by a fictional scenario about the Roman Golden Horde posted on Bilibili. The early scenes will be set in the chaotic Timurid Empire following the death of Tamerlane the Great. Writing this story has been a self-learning exercise. Through this alternate history, I've been actively exploring the historical transformations of the Arabian Peninsula, Transoxiana, and even Central Asia from 1410 to 1500, filling in gaps in my knowledge. As for the introduction of the Faith of the Four Winds, it's purely a matter of personal interest. Some Warhammer experts have suggested that the Four Winds' name suggests a Warhammer origin, likely referring to a 40k short story describing the sudden rise of Chaos faith in a savage world. After all, introducing a completely new faith into a land already riven by religious conflict couldn't be worse, could it? Moreover, this faith carries with it truly transcendent power. How would those zealots who fought for Constantinople for centuries react? Creating a captivating, or at least intriguing, world through my keyboard is a deeply rewarding experience, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. P.S.: Finally, due to my own limitations and lack of accurate documentation, if anyone finds any historical errors in this article, please point them out and I'll promptly correct them. P.S.: The historical Turkification of the Timurid Khanate was very thorough, so the tribes I described earlier that still believed in the primitive belief of Eternal Sky probably don't exist. However, for the convenience of the subsequent plot development, I will assume that the Islamization of the Chagatai Khanate was not that serious, and that a large number of Mongol people in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate still retained respect for this primitive belief. P.S.: New books are not easy to write. If you are interested, please cast your valuable votes and feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.

The bells rang once more. The embers, devoid of fire, were awakened once more. "Spring has arrived, it's time to rekindle the fire again." Awakened by the bells, the ashes sat up, blinking as he gazed at the enormous golden tree. "Something seems a little off." The ashes, sitting cross-legged, wore a thoughtful expression. "But with such a bright and beautiful world, it must be a good world, right? We don't need to burn anything, do we?" The ashes hated tragic stories.

It's impossible to create the Holy Avenger with them. Don't waste any more time!" "...The blueprints are flawed?" The mage Emia blankly raised the five holy swords in her hand. "Then what is this pile I just created?" ******Second Edition Introduction************ The magic network has been dormant for a century. Mortal souls are gradually falling into the hands of demons, and the cycle of death is about to begin.

DND background + a lot of self-settings, no DND foundation is required to ensure reading experience——————"So you mean, we just signed a contract, you are now my master, and I became a magic contract master?" "That's right." "But, just now, you accidentally killed me in the process of signing the contract?" "Not quite accurate, you see you are still alive now..." The first time Cui Lin accidentally came to this world made up of countless adventure stories, he learned two pieces of news: the good news is that he became a professional and a magic contract master; the bad news is that his master seems to be a little abnormal.
