Night Voyage of the Underworld
After a hapless gambler, Wang Huosheng, dies suddenly after winning the lottery, he becomes the captain of the ghost ship "Netherworld," incurring a "trillion-level debt" that affects all worlds. He must sail through the mists of time and space with a group of crew members who are also trapped in karma, confronting the corruption of the underworld, the mechanical cult, and fallen angels, and challenging the "Tower of Babel" gamble where the fate of all beings is the stake.
Old Wang ultimately staked his own existence, boldly proposing the concept of "Obsession Returns to the Boat," intending to transform the Netherworld Ship from a debt-collecting vessel into a true ferry ark, but in doing so, he triggered the Ruins Tide that devoured everything.
Can they guide millions of vengeful souls to the other side amidst the disaster? And what new adventures await in the depths of that mist?
The voyage never ends, the story never ends.

Generally speaking, Li Wuxiang will do a little maintenance on himself every six months or five thousand miles.
The main items are epidermal maintenance and internal organ renovation. According to the actual situation, see whether to add oil and body fluids.
Pay attention to the materials when painting the skin, otherwise it will burst or have small cracks in extreme weather conditions.
When renovating the internal organs, I am still used to using bamboo paper. Although I have betrayed my teacher and ancestors, I still focus on nostalgia and not forgetting my roots.
Adding to the old and repairing it like new every year, this is the way to longevity.

The short story "The Law of Immortal Cultivation in the Abnormal World" by Zhizhan Peak
The warm and pleasant fairy tale novel "The Heart Demon"
[Infinite Horror • No Heroine • Survival • Cold-Blooded Male Lead]
When humanity is suddenly thrown into a brutal survival game, Cheng Xu discovers something terrifying—
his name is listed among the game’s administrators.
By day, survivors scavenge for supplies, upgrade their shelters, and fight to grow stronger.
By night, nightmares descend: ghosts roam, disasters strike, and only fortified shelters offer a slim chance at life.
Competition is fierce. Corpses pile high. The throne is built from the bones of the fallen.
Trapped in this endless cycle of survival and slaughter, Cheng Xu evolves—
into an artist of carnage, painting with blood, composing poems in the language of death.
“Death... is the final reward for all survivors.”
When Ji He first transmigrated, she thought she had landed in a tycoon-building storyline. She threw herself into making money, dreaming of counting cash until her hands cramped.
But then—plot twist—it turned out to be an apocalypse survival script.
She wanted no part of it.
But what could she do? Better a miserable life than a glorious death.
So Ji He went full survival mode: working by day, digging tunnels by night, and diving into dungeons whenever she had time. Her motto? If it won't kill me, I'll scavenge it—if it might kill me, I'll still try. She crammed everything she could into her inventory space.
Before she knew it, she had somehow turned a doomsday survival game into a business management sim.
I was inexplicably drawn into this survival game. Perhaps it's just a game, perhaps it's more than a game. Perhaps I can complete it, perhaps I can't. Perhaps it's hope, or perhaps it's just the beginning of despair. I'm completely impatient and just want to get by one day at a time. But my amazing luck...
Zhou Chen traveled through a parallel world and became a national security agent, awakening the criminal king system.
He is very smart and irritable. When he gets angry, he doesn't even bother to say "what are you looking at".
He never talks when he can take action, and he never has any enemies.
Because he will beat the brains out of his enemies on the spot.
Criminal: Can't you afford it?
Spy: Excuse me, don't you have a backswing when you pretend?
Director of the Intelligence Bureau of Sam Country: Big brother, I will follow you in the future.
Queen of Intelligence of F Country: Please, can't you let me go, I'm still a child.
MI6 of Y Country: Have some martial ethics, we haven't offended you, why kill us?
Guoan of Long Country: Comrade Zhou Chen is really amazing. If he is put in the "Into Science", he should be able to shoot two episodes. He is worthy of being a role model for our generation!
...
My name is Zhou Chen, please take care of me.
If I do something wrong.
Are you going to beat me?
A devastating fire descended from the sky, transforming the entire Blue Planet into a doomsday game for higher-dimensional humans. All the native inhabitants of Blue Planet became NPCs and monsters in the game, destined to be hunted and enslaved by "players." Yunqi, who traveled from Earth, accidentally created the only professional Death Knight, possessing the ability to kill players that shouldn't exist. Can't gain experience and level up? It doesn't matter. As long as my monster affixes are high enough, my level will automatically surpass the top players. Your level will be my level, and you won't enjoy the bonus of equipment attributes.
