Dancing on the edge of a knife, strolling in the shadows. He is a solitary king, an apostle of death, and the glory of thieves! Reborn to play online games, always one step ahead! I have an incredible ring that allows me to not only be a rogue but also learn druid skills. Walking in the shadows, I can ambush and take down enemies; transforming into a seal, I can dive into the water to open treasure chests; and when I'm bored, I can even turn into a cute little leopard... I have only ever been true to myself. All the choices I make are voluntary and the result of my free will. I have never been enslaved or controlled by anyone or anything. Even God couldn't do that! I can bow down to others out of admiration and respect. But we will never bow down in submission! P. S.: This book is dedicated to the World of Warcraft journey we've shared over the years, and to the online game novels we've read together.

Curator note

For in-game currency to be exchangeable for real-world currency, a powerful economic entity must guarantee its convertibility. This entity can only be a country's government. But why would a government guarantee the convertibility of a game's currency into real money? War can be fought this way. A country can be wiped out without bloodshed. A game that can be exchanged for real currency, a super money-making machine. Its name is "Zero," a complete financial bomb. Notice: The author information on Baidu Baike is incorrect. Do not believe it. My name is not Wang Shiwei, and the school listed is also wrong. Other information is basically correct.

Curator note

The martial arts lineage originated from the rise of the human race in ancient times, with the human emperor Shennong possessing the martial arts heritage. In ancient times, before the human race was born, there were also people with great supernatural powers who created physical supernatural powers called "Law of Heaven and Earth". They gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one body, and could pluck stars, seize the sun and moon, and move mountains and rivers. They competed with the witch and demon races and were the true scriptures for tempering the body with innate spiritual fire. Those who possess innate spiritual fire can comprehend the true meaning and understand the true law, thereby attaining the Great Dao, known as the Great Luo Scripture. It embodies all things, illuminates one's own body, can defy the celestial order, overcome calamities, and attain great freedom and ease. Therefore, the true scripture should not be lightly transmitted. My new book, "The Primordial Lotus Path"
