The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized. This is also the best of times. All the extraordinary systems are just beginning. In this era, he is the only [Starfall Master] with the final version patch. While people are enthralled by the smoke of plasma guns and cannons, Li Zi has already torn apart battleships with gravity. While superhumans are smug about their awakened abilities, moonlight has already become Li Zi's servant. While the interstellar fleet crosses the Milky Way, Li Zi has just ignited the forty-second star, illuminating the entire universe. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long; they've forgotten that this starry sky should belong to all of us." —Facing the unspeakable aboriginal evil gods, Li Zi, holding a black hole, gently said.

The Dungeon. A harsh world where death is a constant companion. Powerful monsters roam freely, and every element—terrain, flora, and environment—conspires to eliminate intruders. The moment you step inside, there are no guarantees for your life. Many lose their sanity before their bodies give out, and even if they manage to survive, only a rare few escape unscathed. —At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. "Alright, let's have another fun day of solo camping!" Deep within the uncharted depths of an S-Rank Dungeon, a man casually streams his solo camping adventures. The man’s name is Shahzad. *** - "Wait, hold on. Did he just say he cleared forty floors of an S-Rank Dungeon? That’s a world first, isn’t it?" - "He just casually drops groundbreaking information like it’s nothing. This is why I can’t stop watching his streams!" - "Why does he never look at the comments? He always just streams one-sidedly!" - "Wait, did he just hunt a Three-Head? By himself? That’s the kind of monster even A-Rank parties immediately retreat from!" - "What even is this guy?" *** Every time Shahzad streams, the entire world is thrown into chaos. Yet, for some reason, the man himself seems blissfully unaware. Just who is he, really? [A/N: Also publishing in royalroad.com by the same context!]

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning.

The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

（Don't pay too much attention to the introduction. This is not an anti-intellectual or routine article. I will try my best to update at least one article every day, and usually maintain two updates a day.） A meteor streaked across the night sky from the depths of space, hurtling toward Earth. No explosion. No destruction. The next day, humanity awakened to supernatural abilities! Some could control fire, some could command storms, and some even woke up to find they could fly… Of course, some also awakened to more "unique" powers—like flipping tables with a single slap (yes, that’s you, Fatty). "Hmm… So your ability is… being as hard as iron?" "Yeah, I can’t die, but I also can’t hit back!" "Congratulations, you’ve successfully awakened into a living jade statue!" — Good news: I have an insanely powerful defense. Blades can’t cut me, bullets can’t pierce me, even lightning strikes do nothing—basically, I’m a walking shield. — Bad news: My attack power is literally zero. I’m basically an indestructible punching bag. And my best friend, Lin Yi? His ability is even more ridiculous. "Wait, you’re telling me you can travel briefly into the future?" "Yes! I just went forty years ahead… and the entire world was destroyed!" "…What?" "Oh, and by the way, you became the world’s strongest superhuman… AND YOU GOT NUKED TO DEATH!!!" "WHAT?!" From that moment on, my life completely spiraled out of control— I just wanted to be a normal guy, but… "Great God! Please guide us to the future!" "Hold up! I’m just a ridiculously hard-to-kill nobody!" "Western Corporate Federation: This man must be captured! He is the ultimate war weapon!" "Wait, you guys got the wrong person!!!" "Extraterrestrial Civilization: This being might be a divine entity! We must welcome him!" "A GOD?! No, no, no! Just let me go home!!!" I just wanted to live a quiet life… WHY IS EVERYONE KNEELING AND CALLING ME A GOD?!!!

But here's the catch—some of us survived... with powers. Sounds amazing, right? Too bad the world sees us as monsters.

The "Awakened"—that's us—are feared, hunted, and locked out. They built walls to separate us, but we could tear them down if we wanted. We’re not the enemy. But they’ll never see that. And as long as they keep us trapped, we’ll keep fighting.

Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.
