And in front of me stood a destroyed carriage and a group of oddly dressed people, who were unconscious!

“It’s just like a Murim world.”

As I hurry to perform first aid in an attempt to save even one person, I realize that this world is that of [The Supreme Demon King], a Wuxia novel I’ve enjoyed reading.

After meeting the rescue team of the ‘Three Great Doctors’, I found out that one of the person I saved was the protagonist of this novel, the future Demon King ‘Yeo Haryun’!

“Hey, since I’m indebted to you for saving me, call me ‘hyung’.”

For saving his life, I become sworn brothers with the future Demon King, and the White Dragon Godly Doctor, one of the most knowledgeable people around, recognized my potential and took me in as his disciple. This is the story of how I became the greatest physician in Gangho! <<less

As the apocalypse arrives, Song Ke, who grew up in the abandoned area, unexpectedly awakens her special ability. Within her field of vision, all objects can be transformed into handy spiritual tools with just a thought. She becomes the sharpest blade, now possessing the most flexible scabbard. Wherever she goes, zombies of all kinds cower in fear.... more>>

After wandering alone for several days, Song Ke encounters a troublesome man. The man has a broken leg, and speaks weakly as if on the verge of death, yet there’s a smile at the corner of his mouth that is strangely beguiling.

“Little girl, I have nothing to offer you in return. How about offering myself to you?”

Suspiciously eyeing him for a couple of seconds, Song Ke slowly summons her spiritual tool.

“Speak up, how do you want to… die?”

One thing leads to another, and her adventurous path… takes a peculiar turn? She ends up gathering a series of strange teammates.

A year after the apocalypse, a bizarre rumor circulates among the major surviving bases:

It’s said that the top-ranked awakener team “V587” on the scoreboard are all burly and sturdy, capable of frightening children with their bear-like physiques and iron-like strength.

Their name alone exudes power: V587, how commanding and domineering!

V587 punches the Zombie King, kicks mutant beasts, robs the Death Prison of Sin City, and KOs the tyrannical rulers of District C with one move!

No matter how difficult the mission, it’s flawlessly cleared when it falls into their hands.

Their feats become the talk of the Alliance, earning admiration from countless ability users.

Until the grand opening of the inaugural global awakeners challenge, the enigmatic V587 members gather, making their first appearance.

The crowd’s faces turn dumbfounded, “Wait, who are these elderly, young, sick, and two wheelchair-bound cripples? V587? Nooo!”

In Victorian England, occult practitioners and the Nightmen Police, who hunted occult practitioners, were at odds and engaged in a fight to the death. Legend has it that one of the occult practitioners was a mysterious merchant who ran the world’s largest underground black market in the occult arts, offering a variety of rare treasures. Word says that the Nightmen have a newly appointed young detective whose decisive actions have solved many cases, and occult practitioners are terror-stricken hearing his name.... more>>

Duan FeiZhou: Good, both are me.

He transmigrated to this era because he accidentally clicked on an email titled “Congratulations on your million dollar inheritance” and confusingly agreed to join the Nightmen’s side to fight against the occult practitioners.

Who knew that the next day he would inherit a mysterious inheritance from his uncle – the owner of the world’s most prominent black market of secret arts underground trading… This was a bit awkward.

Duan FeiZhou decided to stay away from the strife to avoid falling off the horse and became a salted fish.

On the one hand, crazy black market customers hope that the black market will close down as soon as possible. On the other hand, the Nightmen are negatively idle, hoping that he is quickly fired. However, the more he rushed customers, the more the business of the black market became red hot. The more negativity, the more he was promoted in the Nightmen.

Seeing that the double-sided was becoming a bigger hassle, he was afraid his mask would fall off..

The Scotland Yard’s NIghtmen Leader, code name Z, has white hair, blind eyes, mechanical prosthetics, metal spine, all from war damage; his hobby is hand-rolling cigars, and if he can not save the hostages, he will shoot them together with the criminals. His highest ideal in life is to exterminate all the occult practitioners in the world.

He thought he had a heart of gold with a painful past, but step by step, he was impressed and conquered by the new young Nightman… He also reformed him.

Until one day, he learned that the young man who tugged at his heartstrings was his lifelong enemy – the owner of the world’s largest underground black market for secret arts.

Z: Oh well. <<less

On the road after work, he was engulfed by darkness and opened his eyes to a frightening and dangerous survival game.

The app that can’t be deleted; the people it locked on to were unable to escape except through death.

Ordinary players: Save me, I don’t want to die!!!

Xiao Lan: Sorry, the phone is too broken and it froze. Can you wait a little longer?

A hand reached out from inside an old-fashioned television; the people caught would enter its world.

Ordinary players: Ahhhhhhh! What to do?!

Xiao Lan: According to my many years of experience repairing old household appliances, it seems that this model can be opened like this…

Finally, the bosses gathered around Xiao Lan one day, prepared to deal with this (game) bug.

As an outstanding figure in the grim reaper industry, there were no souls under the heavens that Lu Xu could not collect.... more>>

One day, he was given an undercover mission to investigate the mystery of how Film Emperor Ji Xiunian managed to escape death so many times. Seeing that the Film Emperor was going to be a mentor on an idol survival show, Lu Xu had a flash of inspiration and signed up as a contestant.

He originally planned on taking this person away after completing his investigation. However, he accidentally ended up debuting in center position.

At the age of five, Ji Xiunian was prophesied to remain lonely his entire life. The people around him were either dead or grievously hurt.

He expected to be alone his entire life and never imagined there would be an exception—not only did his luck take a turn after meeting Lu Xu, the demons and ghosts by his side had dispersed.

Ji Xiunian had never dated in the ten years since he debuted. The only scandal he had was regarding Lu Xu.

Fans thought this was just a tactic to boost a newbie’s popularity. They never imagined that the cold Film Emperor himself would come out to clarify—it’s not a scandal, he’s my destiny.

Wen Shi unexpectedly got pulled into an infinite game.

【Congratulations to the player for awakening the ‘I Am Who I Am’ skill.”

I Am Who I Am: Spend one hundred points to summon another ‘me’ from a parallel world once.】

Wen Shi replied indifferently, “Summoning someone to their death?”

Until——

On the night of the horror castle, the castle owner insisted on finding the most perfect bride, eliminating one player every night until then.

The once unremarkable story took a drastic turn when Wen Shi summoned a girl with a long sword.

The girl affectionately called Wen Shi “Little Brother” while holding the sword’s tip to the castle owner’s forehead.

On that day, the castle owner became completely terrified of marriage. In the bloody dormitory, Wen Shi accidentally summoned a sickly heartthrob.

The sickly heartthrob knocked on every door with a smile at the indescribable residents. “Would you take care of me?”

On the night of Ghost Festival, when the gates of the netherworld were opened and the night was filled with spirits, Wen Shi and the summoned zombie stared at each other.

Wen Shi: “Come, follow my lead. The night of the hundred ghosts is dangerous. We should be cautious.”

Zombie: “H-hundred households’ meals smell delicious.”

Wen Shi: “Survive!”

Angry Zombie: “H-hungry, f-food, not picky!”

In the prosperous Jianglong City, women and children disappear every day, and strange clouds gather over the city.... more>>

A puzzle piece was sent to the police station, and the clues pointed to the recent frequent disappearances.

The police discovered that this was not an ordinary puzzle piece but human skin, and it came from the mu*derer of another case.

Is it the mu*derer? Or the victim? Who is the perpetrator?

Yu Jing, the leader of the Serious Crime Team Two, grew up among gangsters and made jokes on weekdays, but when it comes to serious matters, he immediately becomes serious and leads his men straight to the scene. He discovered that the clues in the case were very similar to an old case from fifteen years ago.

This case was inextricably linked to the major child abduction case fifteen years ago.

In order to solve the case faster, the city bureau called in a helping hand. They heard it was the forensic section chief from the city bureau next door, “Lu Yidao”*, who claims to be able to make the dead speak.

Accidentally, the two met at the crime scene, and both thought the other was a gangster. After a few rounds of fighting, both of them were impressed.

Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, the relationship was still forged.

The appearance of mysterious puzzle pieces actually formed a mysterious sun totem.

Although the two of them started fighting each other as soon as they met, in the face of the sudden case, they made a tacit agreement to temporarily reconcile and joined hands to face the sea of blood and avenge countless dead souls.

“The sun means rebirth and burns everything. I am willing to use my mortal body to withstand all kinds of difficulties and dangers. Even if it turns into embers, I will have no regrets.”

“Even if the night is endless, as long as faith never goes out, I will be the fireworks that light up the way forward.”

But as he looked at the stranger’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity.

The phrase “偷风不偷月” is a Chinese idiom, and its literal translation to English is “Stealing the wind, but not the moon.” This idiom is often used to describe someone who is content with small gains and is not greedy. It implies that a person is satisfied with obtaining just a small advantage or benefit, rather than trying to achieve something much greater.

The phrase also has a more negative connotation. It can be used to describe someone who is deceitful or manipulative.

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.

Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.
