[The latest masterpiece by the author of Reverend Insanity] In the heart of a volcano, the mechanical fairy palace left by the ancients longed for a successor. The mother sacrificed her life to obtain the treasure seal of the fairy palace, entrusting it to Ning Zhuo on her deathbed. Buddha Heart Demon Seal! To deliver oneself to enlightenment, and others to demonhood. The bearer of the seal, by lightly engraving the Heart Demon Seal, could control mechanisms as if they were feathers. While others wielded it, exhausted in spirit and heavy in mind; Ning Zhuo could command it with ease, light and graceful as in a dance. Ning Zhuo said, "Mother, your child will surely fulfill your trust and claim that fairy palace!" Indeed: The chance encounter with a spirited secret, where skill merges with supreme logic. Universes open to new realms, where natural beauty rivals the heavens. Ancient bells transmit the law, dancing under the moon's pure radiance. With the true form embodying myriad things, who in the world could contend!

A veteran player of "Starry Abyss" and a Meteor Fall Master known as Ace Bro, Li Zi came to the game world with his system template, arriving at the era of the game's beta version. This was the worst of times. Cosmic forces and financial magnates colluded, causing The Gate to the cosmos to be shut, planets' resources exhausted, even sunlight monopolized. It was also the best of times. All the Extraordinary Systems had just started, and in this era, only he possessed the final version patch as a Meteor Fall Master. While people reveled in the smoke of plasma cannons, Li Zi had already torn apart warships with Gravity. As Special Ability users proudly indulged in their awakened abilities, Moonlight had already become a servant to Li Zi. When the Interstellar Fleet crossed the Galaxy, Li Zi had just ignited the forty-second Stellar, illuminating the entire cosmos. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long and have forgotten that this Starry Sky should belong to us all," he said gently, holding a black hole in his hand while facing an indescribable native Evil God.

In the vast universe, the birth and death of a galaxy is nothing more than a flash of mottled light. Looking up at the starry sky, there is always a sense of sadness that the ending is predetermined. Where will you and I be thousands of years later? The country, the fire of civilization, and the earth are nothing more than a speck of dust in the deep space. The starry sky is a moment, and the human world is a thousand years. The chirping of insects is only autumn, and you and I are fighting for it. What is at the end of the deep space?

For thousands of years, high science and high magic have been waging an underground war for dominance. Both of these sides have the backings of Systems that allow them to conjure mechanical and scientific marvels or demons and miraculous fears. But during the modern era, a newcomer has arrived to the scene, and he is going to flip the entire board. "Looks like there's a fire happening in China Town...I'm going to need some help!" [Hero System: Online! Manifest Protocol, ready!] "Let's go, +#?#;_man!" "No worries, Illustrator! I am here!"

In a distant future, a man awakens to discover he's been brought back to life after being dead for over seven thousand years. With most of his body replaced by mechanical parts and his memories fragmented, he learns he's the first successful resurrection in history. But as he struggles to accept his new reality, he uncovers an unsettling truth: this isn’t the first time he’s awakened. Time and time again, he has died, only to be brought back, each resurrection eroding pieces of his soul and sense of self. While clinging to one certainty—his deep love for the wife and daughter he left behind—he begins to question the motives of the mysterious organization that keeps pulling him from death's embrace. Why do they need him alive, again and again? Forced to cooperate through pain, manipulation, and the terrifying possibility of being erased completely, he must confront the haunting question: if he can never truly die, is he still human? Set in a world of advanced technology and moral ambiguity, this story explores themes of love, identity, and the price of immortality—and the harrowing cycle of life, death, and resurrection that binds them all.

In the year 2139, the world changed. Fundamentally and irrevocably. Everything happened too quickly. The sky cracked like an egg and armored dinosaur-like monsters lurched out of the fissure.
