GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

An Alchemist's Assistant

Jack Ryder is a young apprentice to a skilled but mysterious Alchemist in the towering city of Arcfall, a vertical metropolis divided into levels. Each level, from the dark slums of the Ankles to the sunlit Ribcage, reflects a starkly different way of life. For Jack, living and working in the Ribcage is a dream come true—a far cry from the harsh Ankles where he grew up. Jack spends his days gathering rare ingredients and delivering potions, always eager to impress the Alchemist and learn more about her craft. But during a routine trip to the Ankles, he finds the area eerily empty and is stopped by soldiers searching for a dangerous fugitive. While trying to escape, Jack and the Alchemist discover a strange, dark object hidden in an alley. It’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen, pulsing with an unsettling energy that neither of them can explain. As Jack continues his work, he begins to uncover signs that something is very wrong in Arcfall. The soldiers aren’t just searching for a fugitive—they’re guarding secrets that could upend the city. Strange phenomena are appearing in the lower levels, and whispers of rebellion are rising from the shadows. Jack must figure out the truth behind the mysterious object, the soldiers’ mission, and how it all connects to Arcfall’s future.

Back to 1980's to Enjoy

Lin Shirong was reborn in the summer of 1980. In his previous life, he had poor judgment when it came to people and relied too much on matchmakers. This led to his children having unhappy marriages, two useless sons-in-law, and several daughters-in-law who turned the family into a chaotic mess. Determined to change the course of his family’s future, Lin Shirong decided that in this life, he would personally find suitable partners for his children. Years later, during a gathering with old friends, the topic of conversation turned to their daughters-in-law and whether they were filial. The old men couldn't help but brag about their own families. Lin Shirong waited patiently for their boasting to run its course. Then, with a knowing smile, he took out his phone and posted a status update on WeChat Moments, writing: "I’m feeling restless staying at home all day—thinking of going out for a walk." The post barely had a chance to settle before his five daughters-in-law, scattered across different cities, started calling him one after another: The eldest daughter-in-law: “Dad, where do you want to go? I’ll pick you up right away!” The second daughter-in-law: “Dad, the Bird’s Nest Stadium just finished construction. Let me come get you so we can go see it together!” The third daughter-in-law: “Dad, among the Five Great Mountains, you haven’t visited Huashan yet. The weather is perfect right now. How about I pick you up and we go on a little trip?” The fourth daughter-in-law: [Her call was so enthusiastic it left no room for doubt.] The youngest daughter-in-law: [Equally excited and eager to make plans.] The scene left Lin Shirong’s old friends utterly speechless. Their earlier boasts paled in comparison, and their envy was unmistakable as their faces turned red!
