(Nontraditional survival-game fantasy + cultivation + a touch of Lovecraftian horror + mystery + strong heroine + no romance pairing + emotion + ensemble cast)
[I lost my memories for ten years. Was I a trial participant all along?]
Yuan Tan lost all her memories of the Infinite Trials while taking part in her very first instance. She struggled to survive in the cultivation world for more than ten years, only to fall there after an assassination attempt.
When she finally awoke and recovered all her memories, she discovered that her homeland had vanished completely, and that the sister she had depended on was separated from her by galaxies and time.
To uncover the truth, Yuan Tan cuts through the rules with her blade and sees through illusions with her spiritual sense.
But the sister who was once her only support has become the heart of the mystery. Everyone she meets is a piece on her sister’s board.
To reunite with her, Yuan Tan must uncover the truth behind the instances. To find her lost family, she must shatter the shackles of the forest’s faith and rebuild her broken home, one step at a time.
Amid the tangled mysteries, some clear a path for her while others guide her onward. And in the hearts of all the wanderers, she lights an undying beacon, keeping the hope of civilization alive.
This is an unending quest across time and space, and an outright rebellion against rules and fate.
If one person cannot be shaken, then let a spark set the forest ablaze with its funeral song, burning every branch in the rift.
PS: The pacing is deliberate, with an emphasis on logic and characterization.
