The Tang Sect's Venomous Wolf

After spending three years testing every last bone of the Tang Sect, Wu Chen is thrown out overnight with the words "inadequate testing." He buys a helmet and logs back in. On the first day of the open beta, the game recognizes him: Welcome back, tester.

Poison calculations, hidden weapon checks, drop rates, aggro mechanics: he worked through every line of the ledger himself. While others level up, he audits the numbers. While others seek masters, he hunts for bugs. The rules of the martial world are made by living through it, and he is the only one who knows how those rules are written.

From a scapegoated tester to a wolf wielding poison; from hidden accounts beneath a single lamp to the name of an entire city. Poison kills, and poison saves. Ledgers identify people, and lanterns guide them home.
