Jiang Mingyu, a struggling novelist, woke up to find he'd transmigrated into the unfinished, despair-filled world he'd created: *Black Tide*.
A mysterious Black Tide devoured the heavens and earth, while mutated monsters ravaged the land. Humanity huddled on floating islands, struggling on the brink of extinction. Two systems of cultivation had become the last torches of civilization: the “Black Warriors,” who combined genes with mecha, and the “Star Climbers,” who ascended the Star Ladder by elevating their minds to a higher dimension.
As the creator of this world, Jiang Mingyu knew its basic setting and key plot points. But he discovered that he was merely a mediocre talent, a cannon-fodder freshman in mortal danger. The only thing he had with him was a [Writer's Panel] that could analyze all things, record information, and even make minor “edits” to reality.
Confronted by the deadly Black Tide, bizarre mutants, and the power struggles within the academy, as well as “original characters” far more complex and powerful than he'd written them to be, Jiang Mingyu had his work cut out for him. Among them were An Muxiu, the “beloved son” protagonist with talents in both cultivation systems and a seemingly perfect nature, and his mysterious roommate Yun Ye, who appeared able to see right through his secrets...
Jiang Mingyu had to make good use of his only golden finger, carefully balancing spoilers against unforeseen changes. Could he forge a path to survival of his own between cold steel and dazzling psionic power? And how many secrets lay behind this world he'd created with his own hands, only for it to evolve on its own, secrets he didn't even know about, and powerful enough to drive people mad?
