This story follows the journey of an individual known as "the fifth," who transitions from a rural village to the vibrant, yet sometimes daunting, urban landscape. Initially driven by the fundamental need to find a partner, the fifth's path leads them to the bustling atmosphere of a night market.
Working alongside the pragmatic "Li sister" at a barbecue stall, the fifth immerses themselves in the demanding rhythm of city life. However, the energy of the night market cannot fully eclipse the weight of their past and the lingering memories of a woman named "Mei." Fragmented recollections and a sense of helplessness intertwine with the present realities of labor and the search for connection in a new world.
As the fifth navigates the challenges and encounters of their new urban existence, the contrast between their rural roots and city aspirations becomes increasingly apparent. This is a tale of seeking love and stability amidst the bright lights and hidden burdens of urban life, where the past casts long shadows on the present.
A journey that has never been taken redefines the concept of life.
An unprecedented challenge and evolution opens up the thinking about life and emotions.
"Firefly City", the opposition between freedom and order, the unity of nature and technology, here, we can glimpse a corner of future civilization.
Xu Ke opened his eyes to the chaos of war. In a small corner of the Dragon Court, he struggled to survive. Fortunately, he had awakened his gift of resonance with all things. Secret scriptures, demonic essences, martial spirits and magical weapons... all treasures imbued with the labor and perseverance of their predecessors resonated with him. He could grasp the martial arts, artistic conceptions, and demonic abilities that others would struggle to grasp in their lifetimes. Facing a world of exploitation and oppression, Xu Ke initially sought to collect the remnants of the weaponry and demonic essences of the past and cultivate in silence. But then he discovered that the world's prodigies were unworthy of their reputations. The legendary heroes were but dead bones in their graves, while the demons and great monsters were savage and brutal, yet they still dreamed of controlling the human world. How could such a world be ruled by such a scoundrel? He mastered the ten transformations of the Immortal Martial Arts, becoming a pure and immortal immortal, the Creator of Creation, and eternal immortality! Amidst the turbulent times, Xu Ke rose from the bottom, slaying demons and evil spirits, restoring order and remaking the world.
“What? You come back from the world of cultivating immortals, can you cultivate? Can you make pills? Can make Qi? Among the martial artists, you are the master? Among the cultivators, you are the gods? I can’t offend you?” Lin Nan raised his mouth, showing a trace of disdain, big hands One shot.
The first person in Southeastern Province, the master of Jiangnan Budo, died!
“Oh, you come from hell, the lives and deaths of other people are between your thoughts? I can’t provoke you?” Lin Nan nodded lightly, eyes full of contempt, and curled his fingers.
Lord Yan’s worship, pawn!
“The king of mercenaries and the king of killers dared to pretend to be forceful in front of me. The immortal cultivation world in front has returned, and the return of hell is dead. Are you too unpretentious?” Lin Nan’s mouth twitched slightly and stared at him.
A certain mercenary king, death!
“Sorry, there is no one in this world that I can’t afford!” Lin Nandao, suddenly his eyes turned, his eyes filled with the smell of petting.
“Good wife, come, come and eat this bowl of chicken soup made with ten thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum, the child in your stomach, but the hope of the whole family!”
He has won some games, lost some games, but it always entertained him and made him happy. However, one day when DOTA is linked to his life, Zhao Dingguo couldn’t be calm anymore. Because in his PC, there was an unexpected DOTA battle platform!
If he lost a game on the platform, he could be obliterated!
However, when Zhao Dingguo was careful and triumphant, he found that the magical rewards he received were actually brought to reality. Whether it’s skills, equipment or bloodline, as long as he has survived a brutal Death Match, everything is possible! After many difficult battles, Zhao Dingguo finally could walk calmly on the narrow path between victory and obliteration. His unchanging pursuit is the victory!

As soon as the Skeleton King entered the tavern, he attracted everyone's attention.
Someone shouted: "Yohoo! Your Majesty, where did you get rich?"
The Skeleton King did not answer, but just gently put his hat down, took out three copper coins, and said: "Old rules, waiter, two...Pah, 0.2 taels of dark elements..."
When everyone heard this, they felt even poorer, so they laughed and said: "I heard that Your Majesty wants to challenge the Church! Is this true or false?"
The Skeleton King opened his eyes wide: "Can our undead affairs be called fighting? We ask the older generation to educate the young people who have only been in the country for a few hundred years!" Then there were difficult to understand words, such as "bullying the weak with the big" and "respecting the old and loving the young", which made everyone laugh.
The Skeleton King knew he couldn't win the argument, so he took his 0.2 tael of wine and started muttering in a low voice: "This is outrageous! How can citizens mock their king? This is outrageous..." After hearing this, everyone laughed, and the air in the hotel was suddenly filled with joy again.
Si Qingyan was left with only a lonely soul after escaping death. She was about to go out for a walk, but was stopped by an ugly thing who called himself the Demon King. The Demon King opened his bloody mouth and laughed: "Hmph! You are unlucky to meet this Demon King. You will have snacks in your next life!" Si Qingyan tore off one of the Demon King's legs, and his eyes lit up: "Snacks, what snacks?"...

Is magic really just a wish machine?
No, in a universe where magic truly existed, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magic war tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic.
But so what?
Just like a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, a magician does not need to understand its nature to use magic.
Knowing the ultimate nature of magic also does not mean that the tool man can transform into a great magician.
But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Even if it is magic that should have no reason at all, humans still hope to understand its inner operating rules.
Exploring the ultimate nature of magic requires no reason!
The story in the book takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is approximately the 16th century of our universe. However, due to a bit of a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are different from our geographical environment.
Here, muskets are on the rise, but armor has not yet come to an end. Military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are endless. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic.
The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.
