Luger was sullen. He noticed that he was losing some hair recently. But that's not important. The door to the extraordinary world is opening to him. He's going to become a powerful wizard and then make himself covered in scales like that annoying, terrifying twenty-eight-clawed earth-burrowing dragon. In his spare time, he often dreams, dreaming that he no longer has a dog-headed face, but has transformed back into the refreshing human being. He also often thought about letting his almost bald forehead grow into the slender and twisted horns of the advanced demon species. But that's not much easier than growing scales. The legendary dragon and powerful demon species will have a natural human form when they reach adulthood. Yes, a huge detour, just to become a human again and say goodbye to the smelly kobold body that only keeps shedding hair. At least at first, that's what he thought.

We are now living in the midst of major changes in history. The wave of globalization that dominated the first quarter of the 21st century is rapidly receding. It is still unclear what kind of future the world will usher in. The era in which this book is written was also a period of major change in Chinese history. In the middle of the second century AD, about three and a half centuries had passed since the Han Emperor Liu Bang established the Western Han Empire, and about one hundred and twenty years had passed since the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Empire. After the first four emperors, the Eastern Han Dynasty fell into a vicious cycle of emperors ascending the throne at a young age - dying young - ascending the throne at a young age - and dying young again. Since the young emperor was unable to handle government affairs, power fell into the hands of the emperor's mother and her relatives. This was called kinship politics. Under the corrupt rule of the foreign relatives' group, a crisis of collapse arose within the Eastern Han Dynasty. On the other hand, the trend of overthrowing the old kinship politics and reviving the imperial politics centered on the emperor, with the eunuch chamberlains serving the emperor as the core, was also growing day by day. Finally, on this night of the tenth day of August in the second year of Yanxi of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 159), the prelude to a long and turbulent era in the next four centuries was finally unveiled. When the protagonist of this book comes to this era and faces the oncoming tide of the times, what great achievements will he make? Reader group number 771361363
