Legend of Mir: The Way Comes from the Heart

In the late autumn of 2001, a boy in a smoke-filled internet café clicked the icon that would change his life.

His game ID was “Dao You Xin Sheng,” and he was an ordinary Taoist player. Starting with his first deer hunted in Ginkgo Village, he entered the world of Mafa.
