A Knife from the Start [Infrastructure Building]

[My new novel, Infinite Trial Grounds, is now underway. Please add my upcoming novel, The Real Heiress Is an Interstellar Healer, to your reading list.]

#Keywords: Global gamification + infrastructure building + post-apocalyptic wasteland#

[Ding! Blue Star is about to experience its third world war, which will destroy civilization. In response to a plea from Blue Star's own consciousness, a global gamification trial is beginning. Survive to live; fail and die.]

Humanity's recklessness had finally brought punishment upon itself.

Their planetary "mother" had lost faith in them, too...

The nations that had started the war were thrown into a panic, but no matter what they tried to do to make amends, it was already too late.

This was a global gamification trial, and an effort by humanity to save itself.

While everyone else was preoccupied with their own survival and preparing for the trial, Wu Xin hadn't even had time to react before a knife fell from the sky, hit her on the head, and left her lying in a pool of blood.

"..." Was she unlucky or lucky?

[Name: ** Knife]

[Grade: Divine]

[Note: Divine items are unique]

[Bind?]

When Wu Xin woke up, all she could say was, "Well, I'll be!"

"Yes." Once bound to it, she would kill any god or Buddha that stood in her way!

But...

Why was that sneaky guy always staring at her?

Wu Xin: Could he be after my knife?

Wei Lan: "..." That's my divine bone!

One-line summary: Armed with a knife from the start, the female lead uses her own abilities to turn a survival game into an infrastructure-building game.

[Reading guide: A progression fantasy. The female lead is a base leader with the highest combat ability. The male lead, Wei Lan, shares his name with Blue Star. He appears later, and at first has completely lost faith in humanity. It isn't until he meets the female lead and the people of Yun Country that he realizes not all humans yearn for war.]

Content warning [Key point: This novel is entirely fictional. Please don't map it onto real life. Much of it follows my own worldbuilding, and the setting is fictional, fictional, very fictional.]

(This is my first novel, so it may have flaws. Please be patient with me.)

My new novel, Infinite Trial Grounds, is a great read. Please add it to your reading list!

Synopsis: Jing Yu died in the apocalypse. When she woke up again, she found herself in a new world.

There was no apocalypse here, but a trial ground connected to a black hole hung in the sky.

The trial ground had numerous portals. Once people awakened their telekinetic powers, they would be pulled inside. They could survive only by completing the missions.

[Portal 01: Falling Stars, Invading Mutants] Currently being drafted

Upcoming novel 2: The Real Heiress Is an Interstellar Healer

The real heiress of the Qin family on the Imperial Star had been found. She was a foolish waste with an unsound mind and no awakened mental powers.

Ever since Qin Sang returned, the other families had been laughing at the Qins. The fake heiress, Qin Zhi, was ashamed of her, believing she was unworthy of the title of the Qin family's real heiress

Mother Qin: "Be a good girl, Zhi'er. Her return is useful to us. Let her fulfill the engagement with the Xie family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought her back to disgrace the Qin family."

Father Qin: "I don't have a daughter who's such a waste. Only Xiao Zhi is worthy of the Qin bloodline!"

Eldest Brother: "That idiot Qin Sang and the Xie family's vegetable are a perfect match. At least she won't bring trouble to anyone else."

Second Brother: "Qin Zhi is my only sister. Who's Qin Sang? I don't acknowledge her!"

Fourth Brother: "I don't have an idiot for a sister. Don't even think of using me to get attention!"

Xie Zhen was the youngest marshal in the history of the empire.

After destroying a bug nest and killing the queen bug in a battle against the insect race, his mental sea collapsed, leaving him in a vegetative state.

Now that he was gone, his family had lost his protection and was swiftly crushed by its former political enemies. To preserve the family, they had to honor the engagement with the Qin family

The Qins deceived everyone and married off their foolish daughter. Only after the truth came out did they explain that she was their biological daughter, then offered the Xies a substantial amount of compensation to keep them quiet...

The Xies couldn't swallow this insult. But wasn't their young madam a little too incredible?

A cultivation pod? What was that? It could grow spiritual plants that had been lost for ages? And it could soothe and heal the mental sea?

Ha ha, how could she be a foolish waste? She was a treasure!

The Xie family was overjoyed: The Qins had thrown away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed!

Upcoming novel 3: After the Summoned Players Are Reborn, a Fourth Calamity story

Synopsis: In the twenty-second century, a full-immersion game suddenly arrived, shocking the entire world!

(Self-indulgent writing. I'll post the complete synopsis when I start the novel.) I want to try writing a Fourth Calamity story from the players' perspective.
