In the Viscountry of Ryan, shrouded in thick fog, countless battles were fought against the city by demons. A young knight squire was severely wounded in his first encounter with a demon and remained unconscious for three days before awakening. These three days of unconsciousness became the starting point for the young squire's path to becoming a glorious hero, because no one knew that his heart had disappeared from his chest cavity and was replaced by a majestic and solemn castle! Holding the main human city in hand, establishing glorious achievements, darkness shrouds the world, but the heart of the castle never dies! I'd like to recommend my work from the same website to both new and old readers—Alchemy Blade.

This is the story of a mad lich with a game system, wreaking havoc on the entire world. "Let's take a look at today's daily tasks... It's that ridiculous two-choice situation again: Destroy any town with a population of over 30,000 and you'll get 10,000 evil points. Steal three children's lollipops and you'll get 1 point. If you fail to complete either one, you'll lose 2 points." "Pah! Do you think I'm stupid? If I really destroy a town, I guarantee a medieval paladin order full of epic gear will spawn to come and hunt me down. I'll make a profit, but I won't have anything to spend. I'd better just stick to being a lollipop thief." I've had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says a lich can't be a good person? I'm determined to defeat this damned system and become a truly upright and good person.

This is the story of a young man... Or an old man? A necromancer's adventures in an online game, a man who is used to solving things in the laziest way. This is also a web novel that follows the rules of Metamorphosis and D&D. Alternatively, you can treat this book as a fantasy novel, but with some game-related settings... P. S.: As is generally the case, the protagonist is always stronger than the average player, and might become even stronger at the end. However, in online game novels, the protagonist's strongest point is probably also the end... It seems... The old group (63095579) is full. New members, please join group 54959321.

Once ruthless, now stingy. Yang Hui, blind, can retire from crime, but he cannot live without the internet. Only online can he earn a living, enjoy the vibrant world like everyone else, and even subject his atrophied optic nerves to long-term stimulation, slowly embarking on a path of recovery. Escape the treacherous city of Menzoberranzan, traverse the tranquil and deep High Forest, cross the howling winds of the Icewind Dale, and cross the winding Sword Coast. Of course, Yang Hui's realm also boasts the bustling harbor of Baldur's Gate. But while treasure can be taken, enemies can be killed, and the world can be wandered, can Yang Hui reclaim his lost love and light? All the answers lie in "The Mysterious Emblem of the Forgotten Realms". I have some good news to share: the simplified Chinese version of "The Mysterious Emblem of the Forgotten Realms" will soon be available, published by World Affairs Press. It will be in stock at Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing this Friday, while other provinces and cities will have it next week.
