The Phantom Realm Isn't a Game

No System, no transmigration. A sci-fi apocalypse with wastelands, superpowers, and interstellar adventure, somewhat similar in style to Spirit Cage, and centered on psychic powers.

The impoverished boy Lin Fan uses the money he earns by risking his life on adventures in the Illusory Realm to buy medicine for his mother and cover their living expenses. Though he fights only to protect himself, time and again he turns the tide at the edge of life and death, saving humanity from dire peril.

This novel has no particularly hilarious antics or over-the-top wish-fulfillment moments. It simply tells a steady, eventful story that blends science fiction and fantasy. It offers the vastness of storms sweeping across mountains, seas, and forests, and sandstorms veiling deserts and wilderness. It features all kinds of starships traversing the cosmos, as well as bizarre, fantastical alien realms... This is not a feel-good power fantasy, but a sweeping chronicle of adventure and desperate struggle, set in an immense world.
