【Global Game + Infinite Flow + Farming Infrastructure + Healing System + Fluffy + DND-like】 Born through reincarnation and abandoned in the forest at birth, I barely survived into adulthood when the global game descended, and everything had to start anew as the scientific world suddenly took a turn. Killing beginner monsters, logging into the game, each person received a Player Manual and took on extraordinary Professions like Barbarian, Warrior, Wanderer, Martial Monk, Priest, Druid, Forest Patrol, Mage, Magician, and Bard—eleven core Professions to choose from. This is a mythical world teeming with numerous Races; humans are no longer the sole intelligent Race. Elves, mermaids, Half-Breeds, Mushroom Men, goblins, and Jackal Wolfmen each have their own way of survival—some are friends, others enemies. New players, along with the world, embarked on their evolutionary journeys. Mu Ying, holding the Lord Token, took on the role of an adept farm grower and jack-of-all-trades Druid, eventually becoming the first Lord and the first player in the deep blue. ………… This text contains slow-paced infinite flow elements, currently featuring Trial Worlds: Square World, Witch World, World of Gods. (There is a male lead with low presence, very limited screen time, in a relaxed, healing system centered around a strong female lead.)

People got a planet in the beginning and what to do with it was up to them. Wang Yi, a young man in the 21st century, coincidentally crossed his soul into a world where everyone had the opportunity to awaken a planet.

Some people obtained the planet's energy as " Martial True Qi" and used the creation sandbox to create a martial civilization, and the people on the planet were all martial artists. Some people get the planet's energy as "Immortal True Energy" and use the creation sandbox to create an immortal civilization, and the people on the planet were all cultivators! Some people obtained the energy of the planet as "Fighting Qi", and used the creation sandbox to create the civilization of Fighting Qi, and people on the planet are all fighters! Some people obtained the energy of the planet as "Soul Power", and used the creation sandbox to create the Soul Path Civilization, and the people on the planet were all Soul Masters! ... Everyone was struggling to evolve a magical civilization system. Wang Yi, however, used his past life memories to start evolving an "ancient" civilization! "Your world-extinguishing laser cannon is powerful, but I have the son of the Great Dao, Pan Gu! One axe will reduce your world to naught!" "Your thousands of angels are powerful, but I have three thousand Chaos Demon Gods to beat you in a minute!" "Your army of darkness is awesome, but I have the Buddha's Paramount Sage, who will defeat you in a minute!" "..." This was a story of how the ancient civilization crushed various transcendent civilizations.

Lan Sol was a beta tester for an open-world survival strategy game called *Global Ice Age Survival*. The game had only released its beta version over the years, with no sign of a public release anytime soon. The premise of the game was simple: Upgrade the campfire—the most crucial source of warmth and the heart of the territory—build various structures, recruit workers, and survive in the frozen world. Sounds boring? Not quite. The game featured monsters, magic, dungeons, and numerous kingdoms scattered across multiple continents. Players could ally with kingdoms, conquer them, or even dominate the entire world. The ultimate goal? Transform a medieval-themed kingdom into a modern, automated one. The game was difficult but oddly satisfying. Lan Sol had finally achieved a 100% completion rate. He eagerly awaited the official release, excited to conquer the game once more. But when he woke up the next day, he found himself in a snowy wasteland. A cold wind howled as the world around him lay blanketed in white. It was so cold that it felt as though the sun no longer existed. It didn’t take long for him to realize he had been transported into the very game he had played for over a year. And he wasn’t alone—every individual on Earth had been transported to this icy world. Waking up next to a campfire, Lan Sol began his journey by upgrading it, knowing it was the first step to survival. Before long, he discovered he had received an exclusive reward: an SSS+ ranked talent.

As Winter navigates the complexities of royal politics and supernatural threats, she uncovers dark secrets that changed her life forever. Extract.....

In the labyrinthine world of high finance, power, and hidden agendas, Jiang Ting, the enigmatic and ruthless president of Ying Group, shocks everyone by settling a staggering 30-million-dollar debt for a low-level trading analyst, Astra. What could drive a man of his stature to such an irrational act? The answer lies in Astra's carefully concealed secret — her ability to cast spells and foresee the future. Yet Astra is a woman of conviction, refusing to use her mystical talents to chase wealth. Unmoved by her defiance, Jiang Ting exerts his dominance, weaving a web of pressure, coercion, and calculated manipulation. But as sparks of defiance and dominance clash, an unexpected and forbidden emotion ignites between them, drawing them ever closer to a line neither thought they'd cross. Under the weight of Jiang Ting’s relentless demands and their volatile relationship, Astra finally breaks her vow and uses her spells to fuel Jiang Ting's ambitions, turning his already formidable empire into a financial juggernaut. But the universe does not grant power without cost. The karmic consequences of using magic for profit begin to darken their path, each success shadowed by an invisible debt they cannot repay. As they navigate a world of cutthroat real estate deals, volatile stock trades, and risky foreign exchange maneuvers, they are pursued not only by external rivals but also by the unseen forces that seek to reclaim balance. Amidst these dangers, Astra begins to unravel Jiang Ting’s true motivations — secrets that could shatter everything they have built and redefine the very nature of their bond. Together, they walk a tightrope over a chasm of power, destiny, and fate. The question remains: when the final reckoning comes, will their alliance be their salvation — or their ultimate destruction?
