The Daoist Arts Editor

In 2026, bugs from the game Laws of the Phantom World begin to infest reality.

Taoist artifacts appear out of nowhere, ancient spirits roam the streets, and hidden paradises descend upon the city.

And I, a game tester about to quit my job, accidentally activate the "Taoist Arts Editor":

a System that can alter the world's underlying rules.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core... my cultivation keeps advancing.

Objects, spirits, environments, NPCs... concepts leak into reality as the system levels up.

Then the System tells me: this isn't a disaster. It's a test.

The ultimate test, one that will determine the future of human civilization.

Now, other "editors" are appearing one after another:

some want to create a perfect world, while others want to return to primal nature.

All I want is to find the middle path of "following the way of nature."

On the boundary between reality and illusion, I rewrite Taoist arts with code and explain cultivation through technology.

Will I edit the world, or will the world edit me?

This is my choice, and civilization's choice too.
