Building a Broken World

Earth had always been peaceful, until one day it suddenly fell apart.

Warriors in metal armor wielded 800-meter swords to hack at abyssal beasts. Wizards rode brooms, casting blizzards and firestorms with their spells. Cultivators split the sky with a single finger, their sword light stretching for 100,000 miles across the nine provinces. Onmyoji were busy capturing eight million deities to serve as shikigami. Indigenous South Americans wielded stone spears to summon the Feathered Serpent God. European vampires descended on hospitals in groups to ask if type O blood was available at a wholesale discount. Walmart suddenly put a batch of enchanted shotguns on its shelves. Every day, people jumped off cliffs on Mount Hua, shouting, "I'm the protagonist! My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!"

Many people thought the world had become ridiculously unscientific, but scientists declared, "We've successfully used resurrection magic to bring Newton back to life! We'll leave everything else to him!"

Newton: "???"

Einstein: "Brother, give me a hand!"
