Going home late at night, Gu Xing found a hole in the wall at home. When he stuck his finger in, the whole city changed forever. Grandma Satomi who refuses loan sharking, Fujino who carries a wood chipper, Naya, the immortal avenger, Haye, the Thousand-Faced Man who likes to wear red dresses, and the hellish couple on the trial bench. One by one, bizarre stories are constantly being played out in reality as described by Gu Xing. What remains unchanged are the rules of "No one can kill Kaidan" and "Only Kaidan can fight Kaidan". (Weird + strange stories + regular novels, with a small amount of behind-the-scenes elements and a small amount of emotional drama. The author has already completed the book "Fu Erdao" with orders of 6,000 each and the completed work "The Monster Illustrated Book of the Tang Dynasty" with one million words. The character is reliable, the appearance is correct, the jade tree is in the wind, honest and trustworthy, please feel free to enter the trap)

Is magic really just a wish machine? No, in a universe where magic truly existed, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magic war tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic. But so what? Just like a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, a magician does not need to understand its nature to use magic. Knowing the ultimate nature of magic also does not mean that the tool man can transform into a great magician. But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Even if it is magic that should have no reason at all, humans still hope to understand its inner operating rules. Exploring the ultimate nature of magic requires no reason! The story in the book takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is approximately the 16th century of our universe. However, due to a bit of a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are different from our geographical environment. Here, muskets are on the rise, but armor has not yet come to an end. Military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are endless. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic. The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.

This time, I don't ask about my grades, I only ask about my heart. This time I just want to write a book. This time I write about hope and the deepest dream in my heart. I really want to seriously travel through time and live in a dream. I am ordinary and mediocre, but my dreams are not mediocre at all. Before falling asleep every day, I will enter the space of my dreams, and live in that space bit by bit, inch by inch, starting from my bare buttocks, to create a dream space that belongs to me and belongs to everyone. However, this space seems more real and operable than any other space in my novels before. This was not originally an introduction to the book. The introduction I prepared was much better than this one. I just didn't know which drunkard who came home late outside the study was singing "Herding Horse City" and how many wives he had run away from. His singing was so heartbreaking. Somehow, it actually made me, a heartless fat man in his late fifties, burst into tears. People, the older they get, the less promising they are. Then, the introduction becomes like this. You just have to read it. If the book is not good, just scold me in the book review area. I am still in the habit of listening. In addition, if you like the passion of young people, please read "Tang Brick", "The Wisdom of the Song Dynasty", "Silver Fox", "Hanxiang" and "Tomorrow". The books with the least subscriptions are more than 25,000, and the quality is guaranteed. This time, please allow me to travel slowly, happily, and with style. Sincerely, your old friend Jie 2

A humble beggar, a holy and noble prince, a monster who is the enemy of the whole world - if there are three paths in front of you, which one will you choose to be happier? Thales had no answer. He only knows that he has arrived in a magnificent and different world, facing a nightmare-like future: the glorious empire has been destroyed for thousands of years, the decadent royal family is hard to recover, the legendary holy war is full of shady stories, and the divided world is in turmoil. And Thales had nothing. All he has left is his unshakable self, the courage to survive, and the creed of never compromising. "Kings are not honored by blood, but blood is honored by kings." Darkness washes away light, fire forges real steel, and the story of the forbidden prince begins. PS: Prize-winning quiz for this book: Who is the heroine? Are you really living in ED?
