Classic of Mountains and Seas: Three Kingdoms Heroes

The Rift of the Guixu Sea opens, unleashing a horde of ancient alien beasts and turning the human world into a hunting ground.

Liu Zhao, an ordinary college student, stumbles upon a summoning device in a peach grove. Using a Liu Bei card, he awakens the Azure Dragon Armor and enters the battlefield where alien beasts are sealed. He joins a mysterious research institute and meets the hot-blooded and impulsive Wu Hui, the taciturn Zhang Tiandao, and Cao Ran, who is both an enemy and an ally. Using cards of the Three Kingdoms' generals as their medium, the four transform into the armor of the Four Divine Beasts: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Together, they fight alien beasts to the death amid the ruins of the city.

But peace is only an illusion. The true identity of Ma Rui, a senior figure at the institute, is none other than the ancient evil god Xiangliu. He founded the institute solely to collect cards and resurrect Guixu. When the truth comes to light, trust crumbles, and the four who once fought side by side are driven apart: Zhang Tiandao is manipulated into defecting, Cao Ran swallows an alien fruit and is completely transformed, Wu Hui dies of exhaustion trying to stop Liu Zhao from going berserk, and Liu Zhao ultimately falls into Guixu to face his fate.

From campus to the sea, from awakening to mastery, this is a tragic epic of power, bonds, and choices. When the final card is sealed, who will become Guixu's new master? And who can hold on to the light in their heart amid the endless darkness?

This is a novel that combines tokusatsu, the Three Kingdoms, and mythology. It's the author's first time writing, so please forgive the rough prose.

It's a tokusatsu story, folks.
