Apostle of Dawn

[Characters with working brains. Ensemble cast. No System. Not invincible. Plot-focused. No formulaic tropes. Mild horror. No wildly unbalanced power levels.]

Carrying a bronze lamp passed down through his family, Bai Xuan enters the mirror world hidden within reality.

It is a playground for monsters, a hunting ground for the Sequences, the final resting place of legendary creatures, and the birthplace of gods.

Standing at the crossroads of fate, Bai Xuan chooses to shoulder the duty of a gatekeeper.

With a woodcutter's hatchet in hand, Bai Xuan dares to make a pact with the gods.

He cuts down every foe in his path and sets out on the road to become the strongest.

Years later, looking back, he realizes that what he opened was not merely a door. He had stepped into the beginning of a legend.
