Illusion Lamp

The cycle of life is not infinite—except, perhaps, for Elijah. At 122 years old, Elijah lived a long and successful life—until he woke up as someone entirely new. Now, an anomaly in a mysterious kingdom sustained by magic, he faces questions about his place in a world that doesn't defy the laws of nature, but take them to an entirely new level. For over six millennia, this isolated realm of 300,000 citizens has thrived, its survival bound to the magic that nurtures its air, water, and food. Yet, some whisper that a kingdom refusing to expand is doomed to fall. How, then, has this kingdom endured? As Elijah uncovers ancient secrets, dives into treacherous cave systems, and grapples with the fatal flaws of magic, he learns the truth about existence itself—forces that shaped the cosmos. New alliances rise to confront an ancient plague, and the kingdom's delicate balance teeters on the edge of collapse. In this world, the vibrant hues of freedom and potential are mere illusions, like sunlight filtered through stained glass. Elijah must decide whether to shatter the illusion—or embrace it. ———— This novel goes into great detail about the ways of the people and how it will differ from the suspected outside world.

Two wondrous fruits, one for immortality, the other for strength. After swallowing them, Chu Ning traveled to another world to cultivate the path of immortality.

A thousand years later, Chu Ning reflected, "Thank oneself, praise oneself, the struggle is the most beautiful." In this other world, Chu Ning had three famous sayings: The first, "Not driven by profit, one may miss some opportunities, but will never suffer a loss." Secondly, "longevity is just about living a life, so why not take life seriously from the beginning." Thirdly, "if you can get along, you can get along. If you can't get along, you can negotiate. If you can't negotiate, you should kill someone in the downwind of the wind, this way, the ashes can be scattered cleaner…"

However, his world is irrevocably shattered when he loses his only family member, his father, thrusting him into a chasm of grief. In a desperate attempt to bring his father back, Kaelan searches for the fabled "Grimoire of Revival," a mysterious tome rumored to possess the secrets of resurrection. During his relentless search, Kaelan stumbles upon an ancient library, where he accidentally activates the powerful magic within the book. To his dismay, he learns that the grimoire is not what it seemed—it is an ancient artifact of outworld magic that transports him to Starren, a vibrant realm brimming with magic and extraordinary beings, rather than providing the resurrection he sought.
