From the King of Earth and Metal, the Tyrant who controls flames and magma,

to the Supreme King of the Supreme, Great, and Greatest Kingdom,

or the Dragon of the World, the Dragon of Thousand Faces and Thousand Aspects...

These titles are just embellishments on the crown of power of this red dragon.

The world has changed because of him.

Cultural thoughts and ideologies are his fluttering flags;

Mage towers and floating cities are his war fortresses;

Countless races and strange creatures are his soldiers;

The dancing dragons are his commanders;

This is a civilization established by a dragon, a dragon kingdom that commands the multiverse.

In 1785, in order to open up the vast wilderness in the west of North America, the independent American Federation passed two bills that shocked the Old World: One is the "Opening Act" - do you want land? Come to North America. As long as you can afford it or can cultivate it for five consecutive years, the corresponding area of ​​land in the West will belong to you forever! The other is the "Autonomy Act" - do you want to build your own home? Come to North America. If you can attract enough residents to live in the West, you can establish a new state and county there. The managers here will be selected by you, and the laws here will be made by you! Speculators, ambitious people, fugitives, gold diggers, heretics and believers, old nobles and new capital, and more ordinary people with dreams, all with different purposes, rushed here from the Old World, wanting to start a different life and future. Steam, guns, gunpowder, cowboys,

gangsters and bounty hunters, immigrants and natives, churches and "degenerates",

people outside the sight of civilized society began a new round of barbaric growth,

and... the law of the jungle.

The extraordinary people are of course no exception.

Ordinary and abnormal overlap, just like the deep sea and the sea surface.

Above the sea, tall buildings stand in rows, the world is normal, and mortals operate as precisely as gears, and their lives are in order.

Under the deep sea, there are upside-down doors, secret histories, and countless taboos sunk in the sea - thaumaturgy, memes/anti-memes, reality distortion, narrative layers, pataphysics, divinity/supreme divinity...

Only a very few people can glimpse a corner of the truth. Is it lucky? Or unfortunate?

Xia Shou traveled to this magical world, and countless possibilities unfolded in front of him.

…

"The indescribable and incomprehensible are everywhere, but fortunately, humans still have a tightrope to walk."

TRPG, which refers to the role-playing game on the table, the feature of the game is that you can play your own role in an immersive situation, and within the scope allowed by the rules, you can have various open-ended story development according to your actions to achieve different ending.

The Cthulhu running group is a major category of TRPG. The explorers played by players are just ordinary people, but they want to explore mysterious events, face unknown mythical creatures, and unknown fears. There is only one piece of advice here, that The less you know, the longer you live.

And Liu Xing just wanted to run a Cthulhu group online because of curiosity, and ended up straying into the real Cthulhu running group game. . .

Autumn of 1840.

The world is like a whale floating up, igniting a fire in the eyes of the boy.

A letter from more than ten miles away, a traveler from a foreign land, and several wonderful and fantastic stories.

Ritualists, strange objects, alien species, invisible techniques;

Cursed secret texts, pointy-eared cats and dragons, little people under the floor, castles walking in dreams;

Science and mystery, fantasy and reality.

The boy tapped his cane, staggered with the times, and his black hair flew and melted in the laughter behind him:

"Those who are against us are bad guys!"

The monsters said.
