[The Strange Tales of Tian Xing / Kyushu] Beads of Fire and Scales

Nan Ke's dream-talk is entirely fictional.

An imagined ancient-style setting, borrowing the Kyushu, Nine Wilds, and Seven Clans concepts. I'm only borrowing the premise to fulfill my long-held wish after years of reading Kyushu. It may be laughable, so please avoid nitpicking and don't be too harsh, esteemed readers.

A wild-imagination series: my first attempt at a brainless Jack Sue story, drawing on some elements of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, designed to satisfy my dark little fantasies.

The characters belong to the original author, Hei Yi. Any out-of-character behavior is my doing.

A little long: an 18,000-character short story, possibly with bonus chapters.

That's all.
