[The Six Kingdoms Reduced to Ashes, the Library Opens]
Skulls piled into mounds, blood soaking the soil of Xianyang. The severed heads of nobles from the Six Kingdoms hang before the battle lines, their fury soaring to the heavens. It awakens the Golden Xi Library Spirit, lying dormant in the depths of the earth's spiritual veins.
“Burning books and burying scholars? Then you will see for yourselves that ten thousand volumes can never be destroyed!”
As the spirit shrieks, phantom bamboo slips tear through the air. The classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought transform into streaks of light and pour into your sea of consciousness.
You stumble and brace yourself against a bloodied head. Your fingertips brush the ink-black seal script that has suddenly appeared on your brow.
The secrets of the Hundred Schools, lost military strategies, visions of the future... Pages roar as they turn inside your mind.
“The tyrannical Qin may burn bamboo slips, but how could it burn the wisdom that opens the heavens?”
Thus begins the game of defying fate.
