Mechanical Competition

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

The grand tournament of mages to become the successor of the Great Wizar A.Veli will take place in the world of AinVeil. 250 contestants chosen from earth will participate in this competition for the ultimate prize- the strength of a god and a wish granted by the great wizard himself. Airon accepts the invite to the tournament for one specific reason and that is to save his younger brother. No chapters on Sunday :)

Join Stanford "SK" Kirby, a mild-mannered deliveryman and amateur comic book writer, as he fights both the monsters of humanity's past sins and the machinations of their future mistakes.

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. The split, though small at first, quickly widened. Within a few short hours, these beasts had overrun the world. Countries, even those who had been enemies for centuries, sounded a global alarm. Political differences were cast aside as humans scrambled to find a solution—any solution—to what became known as the Great Disaster 1.0. Human experimentations began, first in reluctance, then in earnest. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, failure rates remained high. Desperate for results, global authorities started turning a blind eye to how experimental subjects were sourced. Countless victims were kidnapped and trafficked to state-run laboratories. Shi Tian was but one of them. But unlike those who died nameless, in pain, and unrecognizable, he had the fortune of surviving after being injected with humanity’s last hope—an integrated chip. Except… the chip remained dormant. It seemed that certain circumstances must be met before the chip could be activated. What those circumstances were, even the scientists in charge could not answer.

Lin Lang was originally an ordinary young man, but his sister Lin Yao was targeted by the mysterious organization "Dark Abyss". In order to save his sister, Lin Lang encountered a fatal crisis while chasing clues. When his life was on the line, he accidentally activated the wolf system. The system gives him the ability to control wolves and share senses with wolves, allowing him to gain strength, speed and keen perception far beyond ordinary people. After obtaining the system, Lin Lang formed his own wolf pack. In the wolf pack, there is a brave and fearless wolf "Jifeng", which is extremely fast and charges forward in battle; there is also a "spirit sniff" who is good at tracking, which can capture the slightest smell and find clues for the team. Lin Lang shuttled around various worlds with wolves. These worlds are full of strange things. There are cyberpunk worlds with highly developed science and technology and rampant mechanical life; there are also fantasy continents full of magic elements and dragons soaring; and the ancient world full of primitive barbarism and giant beasts dominate. In every world, Lin Lang and the wolves are involved in complex disputes. In the Cyber World, they fought against the evil AI that tried to rule the world. AI sent a mechanical army to block it, and Lin Lang commanded the wolf pack to use the terrain and mechanical weaknesses to launch a raid to destroy the AI core. In the fantasy continent, the dark magician tried to release taboo magic to destroy the world. Lin Lang and the wolves joined forces with local magicians to fight hard and thwart the conspiracy. In the ancient world, fierce giant beasts threatened the survival of primitive tribes. Lin Lang led wolves to fight against giant beasts to protect the tribe. As the adventure deepened, Lin Lang found that the tentacles of the "Abyss" organization were all over the world. They secretly manipulated the event and tried to control the energy core of all the world. Lin Lang realized that only by completely destroying the "Dark Abyss" could he truly protect his sister and the world. The final battle unfolded in the core place where all the world's energy converged. The "Dark Abyss" organization poured out, and the powerful dark forces made Linlang and the wolves fall into a desperate situation. However, with the deep bond with the wolves and the ability of continuous evolution of the system, Lin Lang realized the trick of integrating the power of the world. He joined hands with the wolves to defeat the "dark abyss", saved the world, and successfully saved his sister. Lin Lang became the guardian of the world and opened a new chapter of adventure.

The Great Qin Empire is a sweeping historical novel chronicling the rise and fall of the Qin state. Emerging from the ferocious competition among rival warlords, the Qin Empire established a powerful, unified dynasty and pioneered a new Iron Age civilization. Yet it lasted only 15 years, vanishing like a fleeting meteor. Within this dramatic historical arc lie countless legendary tales of heroes, statesmen, and their intertwined fates-noble or wicked, heroic or ordinary-all composing a grand historical symphony. The social framework and cultural traditions forged by the Qin Empire continue to shape Chinese life today, forming a cornerstone of the nation's spiritual identity. The Qin Empire rose through ruthless competition, embodying the pragmatic, innovative spirit of its era. It championed legalism, sweeping reforms, centralized governance, and relentless state-building. Over 160 years and six generations of rulers, it achieved a revolutionary transformation, unifying China and ushering in a new Iron Age civilization that redefined agricultural society. This monumental literary work vividly portrays Qin's arduous journey from near-collapse to dominance during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Beginning with Duke Xiao of Qin, the state pursued reforms and modernization through generations of unyielding effort, ultimately conquering rival states to unify China.

Lin Ziyin, modern day mechanical professor especially hired by the school, had the potential for great achievement in her field. However, due to family reasons, she could only treat her mechanical research and teaching as a secondary job, pouring all her energy into the farm and the food business before. Despite her low-key approach, she was unable to suppress her sister's rage, and a furious car crash sent her straight to ancient times. Indeed, she had excellent character, so why did the heavens send her to the sparsely populated Northern Land. Known as the death zone, those who were banished to this borderland would spend their lives and perish there. However, Lin Ziyin was quite satisfied with her own identity. Even if she had lost the protection of her parents, she still had the protection of her siblings and grandfather. Of course, she also had her younger brother and nephew at home who needed her protection. This abundance of familial love was enough to compensate for the hardships caused by poverty at home. Poverty, she wasn't afraid of, as she had experience in farming. With large swathes of uncultivated land, the Northern Land was practically custom-made for her. The heavy workload didn't matter either, she was proficient in designing all kinds of small tools. Whether it was the emperor's absurdity, not providing aid to the border king, or the shameless Tatars that would rob them frequently, none of these posed a problem for her. She could think of solutions for everything. It wasn't uncommon for the border king to tell everyone how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful queen!
