The Eight-Hour Hero

[I’m really sorry. I wrote several versions of the blurb, but still wasn’t happy with the opening. I just couldn’t write it, so I changed it to this. If you don’t like it, feel free to remove it from your favorites. QAQ] Xi Miaoguang transmigrated into a book, accompanied by a comic protagonist System. He got eight hours of work a day, along with golden fingers like immunity to all poisons, accelerated healing, maximum reflexes, and mastery of all eighteen kinds of weapons. Then, five minutes from the start, he was surrounded by more than a dozen weapons. The System beeped frantically: [Host has eight minutes and fifty-seven seconds of life remaining!] Xi Miaoguang, empty-handed and issued a death notice by the System: “...” The stupid System hadn’t even given him the world background information. He didn’t even know who he was or what he was supposed to do. At the request of his younger cousin, Li Zhi galloped off to save the boy who had once saved his cousin’s life, a young swordsman. The young swordsman was astonishingly handsome and devoted to justice. He got stronger when faced with stronger opponents, and his true abilities were unknown. He had never lost. ...That was the version that later circulated through the martial world. In reality “Is it time? I should clock out.” The young swordsman flashed him a bright smile. “Want to grab dinner together?” The age of prosperity was gone, and the world was in turmoil. The martial world was in constant upheaval, while the northern tribes held territory of their own, alternating between war and peace, a thorn in everyone’s side. Li Zhi was ambitious and determined to bring order to the martial world, march north, and reclaim the lost lands. He simply hadn’t expected to meet Xi Miaoguang along the way. A sword that pierced the rainbow, a long blade that split the sky: nothing could compare. Li Zhi thought that whatever he wanted, he had to keep in his own hands. One blade held the pass; the mountains and rivers returned to its scabbard, and the world lay in his embrace.
