The Literary Greats Save the World

Er Yetingming is an utterly ordinary book, yet he's forced to shoulder the responsibility of restoring the literary tradition and saving the world. In this patchwork world where literary masters have become ability users and blood and fire rule the day, the literary scene lies barren. The flowers of literature have withered, and not a single sprout grows in a thousand acres. Looking at the world-famous books on his shelves, Er Yetingming has no choice but to roll up his sleeves, fend for himself, and try to poach talent from everyone else's backyard. He picks up a former assassin who's gone straight here, and rescues a newly born gravity manipulator there. He even tends to a beautiful Frenchman who has lost his memory and ended up in Yokohama, ready to dig him up and plant him in his own little garden at any moment. He pitches the benefits of changing careers to the strongest Six Eyes user, and recommends human observation to the world's greatest detective. And Mr. Red King, please wait a moment. I can tell you have extraordinary talent. You simply must read my hundred recommendations for books on controlling your emotions. Hey, want to give Rashomon a try? How about No Longer Human? My place is huge and full of books. I guarantee you'll love them. Supernatural abilities can't save the world. Why not join me in creating literature instead? And then It was a golden age, when the light of literature shone brilliantly and countless generations looked back on it with longing. It was a literary world filled with dazzling stars and emerging geniuses, where ideas clashed at writers' fingertips, sparking a flame that lit the eternal night. It was a desolate, parched, deeply scarred world, ultimately saved by literature. Please note: 1. This story saves characters whose tragic fates upset readers.
