How the Extraordinary Is Made

Reborn in 2013.

That year, the Otherworld game had just appeared. The Calamity of the Green Wilderness, the Demonic Beast Disaster, the spiritual qi revival, the emergence of beastmen, the rise of the supernatural, and the founding of the Empire... None of it had happened yet, or it was only just beginning.

That year, the real world had just established its Supernatural Affairs Bureau, with eight regional branches, thirty-four provincial offices, and hundreds of city-level squads.

That year, Zhang Nan became a player in the Otherworld and set out on his path.

Many years later, Zhang Nan published his autobiography: How the Bureau Chief Was Made

An homage to the title of Nikolai Ostrovsky’s novel How the Steel Was Tempered.
