The blood moon hangs high, and eerie fog fills the air. Li Qingsong wakes to find himself a mine slave in another world, one who could die at any moment. In this world, warped whispers writhe in the shadows, and monstrous beings that prey on humans crawl out of the abyss. Humanity struggles to survive in the cracks, relying on awakened talents and climbing skill trees to kindle a faint spark of civilization.

Fortunately, he is not empty-handed. What came with him is a System with a "plain and unremarkable" set of features:

[Talent Copy] - Any talent he sees is his to use! From the lowest-level [Night Vision] to the legendary [Void Sovereign], the skill tree stretches without end.

[Origin Stone Appraisal] - Others gamble away their fortunes on stones, while he points a finger and the core of a mineral deposit or an ancient treasure automatically hops into his System space.

[Wide-Area Radar] - Scan anything and everything. Resource sites, secret-realm entrances, ancient exotic fruits... even potential "companions" appear on the map.

While others risk their lives for a single low-grade Origin Stone, Li Qingsong looks at the dazzling array of talents on his skill tree and takes stock of the rare treasures piled high in his space.
