It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. But for Leon, it was the worst of times. Leon, a former emergency room doctor and now the only graduate of Arcane Medicine, has arrived in this world where Arcane and Steam coexist. He originally intended to use his advanced medical knowledge and Arcane productivity to casually play the role of "father of modern medicine". A shield spell from the Protection School? Perfect for creating a dust-free barrier. The Burning Hand of the Metaphysical School? Perfect for sterilizing surgical instruments. The material transformation theory of the transmutation school? Perfect for hand-rubbing saline solution. He also encountered a girl known as the "Sleeping Saintess," whose hands would cause any living thing to fall asleep peacefully and never wake up again. Leon's first reaction was: "Completely sterile?! This is an excellent surgical assistant." But he soon discovered— The soldiers who had been snatched from the jaws of death just a second ago turned around and fell on the way to charge. The factory owners remained greedy, the new aristocracy remained arrogant, and the common people remained silent. The world is terminally ill. So the physician put on a crown and prepared to perform the surgery himself.

2 冒 Adventurers Probably Don't Count as Heroes 冒险者大概不算是英雄 Ithaza's Redemption伊塔扎的救赎Western Fantasy742k WordsOngoing I transmigrated. But it seems like a lot of versions of me have been here before. Is this an adventure where, as long as you die, you become the next version of yourself's "experience"? "So this is why you bards are always trying to get yourselves killed? There's another you if you die? Or is this some brilliant new gimmick you came up with to save your mind-numbingly boring, clichéd story?" I don't want to die, and I especially don't want to end up embedded in a wall. Calder Ravenmill has no id 62Votes5.4kRecs16.6kFans

I've traveled through time. But it seems like I've been here many times. Is this an adventure where if you die, you'll become the next version of your "experience"? "So, this is your reason for courting death every day? That if one dies, another will follow? Or is this some new gimmick you came up with to save your utterly boring and clichéd stories?" I don't want to die, and I certainly don't want to be embedded in the wall. Calder Rowanmeyer didn't know whether this adventure could be considered a hero's journey. Note: There is no female lead or romance. The adventurer only needs to enjoy the battles, from goblins to Terasque.

The good news is that I was reborn in a familiar world; the bad news is that this place is called Argus. The good news is that the Dark Titan hasn't arrived yet; the bad news is that He has already set off. The good news is that he has gained the favor of a big shot; the bad news is that the guy's name is Archimonde. The good news is that you can be a prophet and charlatan; the bad news is that you're likely to be killed by Velen. The good news is there's still time to reverse the future; the bad news is the success rate... Well, not ideal. The good news is... Forget it, the rest is all bad news! So let's tread on the established history of the Mother of Goddess. The new history will be written by a "Holy Lance" garrison commander. This job is not difficult at all. Anyway, there are no annoying bronze dragons here, nor are there many stubborn and troublesome NPCs. So, please witness his glorious glory, or burn some incense in advance and predict how miserable his death will be. Dear audience, the stage is set, the lights are ready, and the curtain is drawn. The next performance is called "The Miracle of Holy Light" (crossed out)... Cough cough, we should call it "The New Miracle of Holy Light"!
