A strange rumor has spread through the martial world: a ghostly creature is said to live in the mountains and forests.
When it comes across a lone traveler, it quietly follows behind and whispers in their ear, luring them deeper into the endless mountains. But if they turn around, it vanishes without a trace.
The truth:
“Stop hiding in the mountains and forests just because you can!” the System cries in despair. “Your friendship achievement points are in the negatives! Go make some human friends!”
Mo Mo: “I tried asking, but they all ran away!” (Extremely wronged, extremely loud.)
System: ...You mean your mosquito-like buzzing and your species' ability to teleport away the moment you see someone?
The exasperated System opens the block world's skin shop:
Shulkers, ghasts, Ender Dragons, slimes, pillagers... For just 998, take home a gorgeous skin.
Put on a secret identity, and you'll never be that socially anxious kid again.
[Fragrant Footsteps Beneath the Moon x Shulker]
Xiang Shuai: I stole a white jade clam shell and brought it back to the boat to raise.
In the middle of the night, the shell opens. A young man lies sleeping inside, as pure and clear as a spring flower.
[The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng x Ghast]
Lu Xiaofeng: I found a frail beauty, dressed in white as pure as snow, and brought him back to Baihua Tower to pamper him.
Ten days later, his slender fingers turn, and flames pour through the air, making him a walking artillery platform.
[The Legend of the Condor Heroes x Ender Dragon]
Peach Blossom Island Master: I found a huge black egg and brought it back to the island for a close examination.
A month later, a black dragon hatches, with wings on its back, strange and beautiful.
The young dragon guards a deserted island: The island is my treasure, and the people on it are my treasure too.
A few things to know before you dive in:
1. The protagonist isn't human. He's an Enderman from another world, the block world. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.
2. Expect the characters to act out of character.
3. The protagonist is a nonhuman from another world and knows little about human society when he first appears.
4. The details of the historical periods aren't meant to stand up to scrutiny. Just treat the stories by Cai Gu as set in fictional dynasties.
