After the spirit energy explosion, Earth was covered in primordial qi. The continents broke apart, resources grew desperately scarce, and the surviving humans awakened their spirit centers by inheriting astral souls, then built floating cities to survive.
Everyone else awakened powers like “Blazing Sun” or “Destiny,” while I got the most useless rank of all: “Fading Ember.”
Just as everyone was laughing at me, my golden finger finally arrived!
[Ding! Host has returned to the room they were in before transmigrating. The “Gate of Return” is now active!]
[Quest: Kill a boundary beast. Reward: +100 points!]
[Congratulations, Host! Points have unlocked the Equivalent Exchange mod from Minecraft!]
While other city lords fight tooth and nail for a single “spirit core,” I quietly pick up a stone.
[Ding! Conversion successful. Spirit cores acquired: 999!]
While the Starfall Consortium shows off its floating-city modification technology, I quietly unlock the Protoss tech from StarCraft.
[Warning! High energy detected ahead. Your floating city is deploying a “Photon Cannon Array”...]
And so, a floating city with a style all its own rose to prominence.
“Wait, why are his city walls made of bedrock?!”
“Run! That guy's dragged the sun down to use as a power core!”
It feels a little weird, and, well, it could be better. How to say it? Goodbye.
It's a bit hard to chew in the middle, but the more you read, the more exciting it gets.
