As night fell, the tavern gradually became lively. The adventurers boasted to each other about their recent hauls, waitresses fluttered between the tables like butterflies, and bards played their lutes in the corners, singing suggestive tunes. Just then, the tavern door was pushed open, and a burly adventurer walked in from the darkness. "Hey, isn't that 'Feeder' Barrett?" Someone recognized the newcomer. "He's no longer the 'Feeder,' but the 'Undead Nemesis,' 'Demon Slayer,' 'Mage Ally,' 'Crystal Wall Guardian,' and 'Legendary Adventurer' Barrett!" Someone retorted loudly. "Barrett, tell us your story." The man named Barrett took a big gulp of rye beer and, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, began to recount his story, "It was a bright afternoon, and I was riding my horse, heading towards..."

Curator note

This is a pre-existing civilization and a generation after twilight, with beings called gods and stars. Humanity is striving to rebuild a second-generation civilization, discarding, or rather, replacing, outdated ideas. The Steam Age: Steel roared, cannons roared, and riveted warships traversed the oceans. The electrical age: electric lights flashing, airships and drones taking off in droves. And the glorious dawn of nuclear power. The Enlightened Generation: Finance is at work, and society is oscillating between cyber and socialization, with new ideas, new weapons, and new tactics. The Planetary Travel Generation: Battleship pilots, nuclear-powered fighter pilots traversing interplanetary space, and starboard commanders. What about the majority of ordinary people? The Great Time Calendar: In the natural state, human lifespan is no more than 200 years. What will humanity, with a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years, do when facing the vast universe? However, technological progress is underpinned by humanities, and every advancement in humanities comes at a price. Civilizations that cannot bear these costs will stagnate. May the world be more tolerant of 'new shoots'

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."
