Empire at the End of the Road

Scog led a group of defeated soldiers fleeing through the occupied territories back home. After enduring countless dangers, they were surrounded once more. To keep his promise to bring them home, he sold himself to the Grim Reaper... Just when all hope seemed lost, he learned that becoming a necromancer would grant him eternal life, and cried, “Never die! Pick up girls forever! This is the life!”

Charles Dickens, the nineteenth-century English novelist and critic of social realism, vividly depicted the era in which Scog appeared in A Tale of Two Cities: “This is the age of Scog, and the spirit of fighting to the bitter end has changed this continent.”

The founder of modern nonsense philosophy, as well as an outstanding poet and essayist, Mad Sis, wrote on her Weibo: “Scog is the one I want to marry!”

Zhou Jielun, however, said, “We can clearly feel that Scog has changed the Chinese music scene.”

Those who know this history have reached the following conclusion: “The blurb is ridiculous, but the story is serious! Believe it or not, I do.”

Most of the English names in this novel are Chinese homophones, for easier memorization.
