Look at this. This work uses a fantasy style to write the heaviest history of class struggle in mankind. In the collision of star chains and great achievements, it reflects the blood of a hundred years from the Paris Commune to the October Revolution. When Qiu Jiefang's public support was extinguished by the trampling of the masses, the novel completed the most tragic question about the revolution: Can we stop forging new shackles after smashing the chains?

In this world, the magic system is complex and fascinating, with the divine purification of light magic and the treacherousness of dark magic. Different magics collide with each other, bringing shocking visual and imaginative impact. The settings of each ethnic group are also very ingenious. The dragon tribe is proud and powerful, controlling the power of the elements; the dwarf tribe is good at manufacturing exquisite machinery and has reached the pinnacle of mechanical craftsmanship. The protagonist, Sen Helkin, is the son of the blacksmith of Sunset Castle. He has a timid character, but he has a dream of protecting the world. His fate was rewritten after entering Holy Mountain College. In the college, he met the bold and affectionate Herri Risao, the extremely intelligent fire magician Shan, and the righteous and brave Ed Xiaohua. They formed the "Heaven-Defying Alliance" to jointly fight against the oppression of the nobles. As the plot progresses, Sen is caught in the dilemma of choosing between light and darkness. The breakdown of friendship, confusion of love, and conspiracy and frame-up follow one after another. In a crisis that threatens the survival of the world, his partners fall one after another, and he has to face a powerful enemy alone. But it was these hardships that allowed Sen to grow from a cowardly boy to a resolute and brave hero. In the novel, every plot is gripping, including the fierce confrontation between magic and swords, the thrilling exploration of mysterious ruins, and the power struggle between various ethnic groups. The author's delicate writing style perfectly integrates the grand world view, complex character relationships and ups and downs of the plot, presenting readers with a wonderful novel.
The metaphysical is the way, the metaphysical is the tool. Science, metaphysics, philosophy, focusing on abstract thinking. Let's take a guess. I'm tired [cover my face]
Brothers and sisters, some of you are reading this book, "Is Money Useless?" "I risked my life to lead them through the Long March" has a refreshing setting, the characters are flesh-and-blood, and the story is thick and contagious. It will be hard to put it down after reading it for a long time.

Every step of the heroine's struggle in the deep house is hidden with metaphors. It is only after reading it for the second time that you realize that all the details are foreshadowing. The whole book revolves around the saying "if you put in the effort, you will fail", which is an ancient saying that truly explores "letting go" rather than "winning". The tragedy has a profound background and great staying power. The shocking twist at the end will make people immediately want to reread the beginning. I've done it three times.

Read this book: From a rural girl to an urban beauty, she thought she had found true love, but she didn't know that a hunter had set his sights on the prey. When love, family ties, and friendship all collapse, where should she go?
Dear friends, each of these four absurd stories is worthy of your careful reading! Hey, dear readers! If you clicked on this article, it means that you, like me, have a little bit of unrealistic fantasies and vague doubts about the world - no more, no less, just a little bit. Have you ever thought about it while scrolling through your phone late at night: What would happen if you could choose your own subjects for exams? What if knowledge could be poured directly into the brain? What would happen if fans of classical music and pop music started fighting? What happens if a screenwriter can't write? Don't worry, these four stories are just for you. Recently, I quietly launched four "Absurd and Humorous in the Workplace Series" stories on Tomato Bookstore, each of which is nearly 20,000 words long. Each one is wrapped in absurd skin, stuffed with reality, and dipped in humorous sauce. If you take a bite, you are guaranteed to laugh out loud, then suddenly freeze, then fall into deep thought, and then - you may want to send me a razor blade, or you may want to send me a pennant. Anyway, let me first take you to see what these four stories are about. The first story: "Music Genre War" Fans of classical music and pop music are fighting. It's not an online scolding war, it's a real fight. Have you ever seen a murder caused by a comment in Moments? Have you ever seen the aunts from two communities start a dance battle with "Radetzky March" and "Little Apple" and alarm the street office? Have you ever seen the "Classical Music Crusaders" and the "Popular Music Popular Front" confronting each other with "musical weapons" using subwoofers and subwoofers? It's all there in this story. A programmer posted a message on Moments, saying that classical music is like a "Manchu-Han banquet" and pop music is like "instant noodles." Then, the world was in chaos. Weibo hot searches, Bilibili battles, Zhihu debates, variety show "music genre wars" - everyone is involved, and no one can stay out of it. Capital smelled blood and launched the "Genre Confrontation" function and the "Faction Battle" live broadcast, allowing fans to vote for gifts, turning a discussion about music into a traffic-harvesting carnival. Some people have been kicked out of school due to cyber violence, some have been isolated because of their "ambitious" status, some symphony orchestras have split due to this, and some music festivals have been cancelled. In the end, who ended the war? It was a twelve-year-old child who asked everyone a question: "Why do you have to choose one? Isn't music used to make people happy?" There was also an old man selling pancakes and fruit, who pulled a banner in front of the pancake stall: "There is no winning or losing in music, only stories." Is this story absurd? Absurd. Is it funny? Funny. But if you smile, you will find that this story is about us - in this era torn apart by algorithms and labels, we are forced to choose sides, forced to take sides, forced to swear, forced to become a "warrior" of a certain camp, but have forgotten the reason why we like music in the first place - it makes us happy. After reading this story, you will ask yourself: When was the last time I listened to a song without any prejudice? Search "Music Genre War" on Tomato Bookstore and read 30% for free. A feast of absurdity with nearly 20,000 words is waiting for you. The second story: "Artist's Blockade" cannot be written by a screenwriter. Then the whole world went crazy. Chen Mo, 38 years old, has been in the industry for fifteen years. He has written a drama that scored 8 points on Douban and Waterloo, which was criticized as the "bad drama of the year". He was recognized as a "stable output" in the industry - until one day, he sat at his desk and his mind went blank. The inspiration is gone. Like a river suddenly without water. Then, he encountered the "goodwill" of this era - someone let him drink, someone asked him to meditate, someone recommended him an "Inspiration Restart System" worth 380,000 yuan, someone introduced him to a "Creativity Management Platform", and someone set up a "Bottleneck KPI" for him - Can't write it? Then we will put pressure on you, give you assessment, and give you punishment. He went to the "Inspiration Restart" studio and saw that they broke down inspiration into five modules: "information input", "pattern recognition", "cross-border association", "emotional activation" and "output expression", repairing the brain like a car. He met the "Creativity Management Platform", who told him: "Creative bottleneck is not a state, but an indicator that can be quantified and managed." He spent 380,000 to learn an "Inspiration Management" course, and then found that he could indeed write - but what he wrote had no soul. Just like a person who has learned to breathe but has forgotten how to live. Finally, an old man watching the gate saved him. The old man said: "Young man, are you waiting for something? Let me tell you, you take yourself too seriously. Can't write? Then don't write. Let it go completely. Go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, chat with the security guard, and learn Tai Chi from the old lady. When you no longer want to write, it will naturally come back." He tried. He went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and met the security guard Lao Li, the hairdresser Xiao Wang, and the old lady doing Tai Chi. He no longer regards himself as a "screenwriter", he is just a human being, an ordinary person. Then one day, when he was cutting cucumbers in the kitchen, he thought of his deceased mother, the way the sun shone on his mother's hands, and those cucumber slices like pieces of emerald - he picked up a pen and wrote six thousand words. It's not a script for Party A, it's not a project for the market, it's just for myself. About his mother, about the cucumber, about the sunshine. Those 6,000 words have a Douban score of 9.2. Is this story absurd? Absurd. Is it funny? Funny. But if you smile, you will find that this story is about us - in this era driven by KPIs, efficiency, and "productivity", we have turned ourselves into a machine. We dare not stop, dare not "write", dare not admit that we are tired. We spend money on various "efficiency courses", "inspiration courses" and "management courses" in an attempt to make ourselves run faster, but we forget to ask ourselves: Why should I run? After reading this story, you will ask yourself: When was the last time I did something purely, without purpose, just for myself? Search "Artist's Creation Bottleneck" on Tomato Bookstore and read 30% for free. Nearly 20,000 words of soul torture are waiting for you to read. The third story: "Direct Knowledge Infusion" You no longer have to study. For forty minutes, knowledge is poured directly into the brain. Then what? In 2031 AD, Zhinao Technology Company released a product - "Zhinao Imprint". Put it on, select the knowledge package, and forty minutes later, the knowledge is in your head. No need to read books, no need to listen to lectures, no need to do questions, no need to review. A programmer used it to learn advanced Python programming, and smiled like he won the lottery: "I don't have to study anymore." A senior high school student used it to cheat, ranked third in the province, and went to Tsinghua University. Then the whole world went crazy. Parents buy the "all-school-age packaged version" for their children, and they can learn everything from elementary school to university in 40 minutes. The company does not look at academic qualifications when recruiting, but only "imprinted certificates". A new profession was born - "Imprinting Planner", which helps you plan what to imprint first and what to imprint later, with a monthly salary of 200,000. But the side effects came. Some people begin to have confused memories, unable to distinguish between what they have "learned" and what has been "imprinted", and even "recall" things they have never experienced. Someone suffered from "imprinting-related memory disorder syndrome" and was admitted to the hospital. What's even scarier is that people begin to lose their creativity and critical thinking. They can name all historical events but cannot make any insightful comments about history. They can solve all mathematical problems, but they cannot come up with an original mathematical conjecture. Their brains become a library - rich in books but without a single reader. The most terrifying thing is that people begin to lose their "ability to learn." Their brains "forgot" how to learn - because they haven't used it in so long. Then, the truth was exposed: When Zhinao·Engrave writes knowledge, it will leave a "backdoor" in your brain. Intelligent Brain Technology Company can remotely read, modify, and even delete the knowledge in your brain. You just "rent" the knowledge, rather than "own" it. The student who cheated and got into Tsinghua University with Zhi Nao Imprint voluntarily dropped out of school. He returned to his hometown and started from the primary school textbook, reading page by page and doing question after question. Two years later, he was admitted to an ordinary university. He wrote on his blog: "This knowledge is my own, not 'imprinted' on me by anyone. They may not be much, but they are true." Is this story absurd? Absurd. Is it funny? Funny. But if you smile, you will find that this story is about us - at a time when "quick fix", "shortcut" and "quick mastery" have become the slogans of the times, are we also "imprinting" ourselves in some way? We watch short videos to learn knowledge, listen to "Read a book in five minutes" and pretend to have read it, and buy various "crash courses" in an attempt to get rich overnight. We have more and more "information", but we are less and less able to "think". After reading this story, you will ask yourself: When was the last time I really tried to learn something from beginning to end? Search "Knowledge Direct Infusion" on Tomato Bookstore and read 30% of it for free. Nearly 20,000 words of future fables are waiting for you to read. The fourth story: "Select test subjects" You can decide what to test by yourself. You can take the math test or you can take the "Glory of Kings" test. Then what? The new test-oriented city was selected as a pilot city for education reform. The examination subjects are chosen by the students. You can take traditional subjects, or you can take subjects of your own creation - as long as you can clearly explain what is being tested and how. The students went crazy. Someone applied for the "Glory of Kings Advanced Strategy" - testing the depth of the hero pool, tactical awareness, and teamwork. Someone applied for "Cosplay Costume Design and Production" - which tests design drawings, sewing skills, and stage performance. Someone applied for "Milk Tea Preparation and Store Management" - taking into account formula research and development, cost control, and customer service. Someone else applied for the "Introduction to Fishing" - a test on how to relax your mind while maintaining superficial focus. A boy who likes astronomy can finally learn astronomy openly. But soon, he found that astronomy turned into a nightmare - he needed to recite the classification, spectral types, and evolutionary stages of stars, and calculated the distance, orbit, and mass of celestial objects. He no longer looks up at the stars, because every time he sees the stars, what comes to his mind is not "Wow, how beautiful" but "What is the visual magnitude of this star?" A child who likes to play games declared "Honor of Kings" as an exam subject and trained for eight hours a day, studying every data of every skill of every hero, and writing tactical reports and review summaries. He said: "I used to play games for fun, but now I play games for exams. Happiness? It doesn't exist." Capital took notice. Training institutions have launched "self-created subject customization services" with prices ranging from 50,000 to 500,000. They help students design "perfect" self-created subjects - they must not only meet the students' actual situation, but also have enough "gold content" and "uniqueness". A parent spent 300,000 to customize a "Shadow Puppetry Production and Performance" subject for his child. The child studied for three days and got full marks in the exam. Portfolio packagers, admission consulting companies, "storyline" training classes... A new industry chain was born. Students began to frantically "package" themselves, write personal statements, make portfolios, and tell stories - telling a wonderful story about "how to discover their passion, how to overcome difficulties, and how to grow." Everyone forgets to ask one question: Is this story true? Only one girl chose silence. Her name was Su Xiaowan, and her grades were neither top-notch nor lagging behind. She was between 80 and 90 in every subject. She likes to draw and watch anime, but she refuses to declare these as exam subjects. "I don't want to turn what I like into a test," she said, "I don't want to be a packaged person. I want to be a real person." Her diary was posted online by her mother, triggering national reflection. Some supported her, some opposed her, some sympathized with her, and some called her "too idealistic." But she doesn't care. She continued to study, continue to draw, and continued to watch anime. Her grades aren't the best, but she's real. Later, her paintings were selected into the city's youth art exhibition. The title of the painting is - "The Real World". There is a passage written next to it: "The world is sometimes noisy. Everyone is talking, telling you what you should do and what you should be. But sometimes, the best thing is to quiet down and listen to your own voice. Be yourself. Be true to yourself." Is this story absurd? Absurd. Is it funny? Funny. But if you smile, you will find that this story is about us - in this era when "packaging", "persona" and "story" have become standard, are we also "packaging" ourselves in various ways? Have our resumes been "optimized"? Has our circle of friends been "designed"? Have our lives been "planned"? How long have we not asked ourselves: Who am I? What do I want? After reading this story, you will ask yourself: If all the packaging, all the stories, and all the characters were removed, would the real, naked, unmodified me still be worthy of being loved? Search "Exam Subjects of Your Choice" on Tomato Book Store and read 30% of the book for free. Nearly 20,000 words of realistic fables are waiting for you to read. --- Four stories, four absurdities, one truth Four stories, four different themes - music, creation, knowledge, exams - but they all tell the same thing: in this era, how we are coerced by the system, capital, algorithms, and other people's expectations, getting further away from ourselves step by step, and forgetting the original reason step by step. "Music Genre Wars" is about prejudice - how we are torn apart by labels and how we live in an information cocoon to become what we hate. "Artist's Block" talks about meaning - how we are driven by KPIs and how we forget why we do what we do in an era where efficiency is paramount. "Direct Knowledge Infusion" is about growth - how we are tempted by shortcuts, how to replace "becoming" with "having", and replace "thinking" with "information". "Optional Examination Subjects" tells the truth - how we have been packaged and alienated, and how we have lost the ability to tell our own stories in the era of "storytelling". Every story tells a cruel truth in a ridiculous way. Each story makes you laugh, then hurts, and then leaves you thinking about it over and over late at night. This is what I want to do - not give you a bowl of chicken soup, not give you a set of methodology, not tell you "how you should live." I just want to tell a story so that you can see yourself in the laughter, see the truth in the absurdity, and find your own answers in other people's stories. Dear friends, come to Tomato Bookstore and have a look! These four stories are already available on Tomato Books. You only need to search for the names of the stories - the four above - "Music Genre War", "Artist's Creation Blockade", "Direct Knowledge Infusion" and "Self-Selected Examination Subjects" - to find them. Each story is nearly 20,000 words long, and you can read 30% of it for free. In other words, you can read the first 6,000 words and feel the flavor, rhythm, absurdity and warmth of the story. If you like it, keep reading; if you don't like it, just turn it off, there is nothing to lose. But I bet as soon as you click on the first story, you won't be able to stop reading it. Because this is not just a story, this is your life and mine. Welcome to chat in the comment area!

Finally, let me tell you something secretly - these four stories are just the beginning. I have prepared more than 5,000 similar stories. You read that right, more than five thousand. Each one is wrapped in absurd skin, stuffed with reality, and dipped in humor. Each one is nearly 20,000 words long. Each one is about this era, about you and me, and about those things that we ignore, take for granted, and are horrified to think about. I will write them out one after another and post them on Tomato Book Store one after another. If you like these four stories, remember to follow me so you won't miss the next five thousand or so. More than 5,000 absurd stories, more than 5,000 realistic fables, and more than 5,000 opportunities to make you laugh and think.

And all this you are going through will one day become your story. I hope there is laughter, tears, absurdity, truth and you in your story.
