Soldiers in gleaming armor, fields of green wheat seedlings, nettles climbing stone walls, and roses beside farmhouses. This is the Middle Ages. When the bugle sounded the dawn over the fields; when the warriors raised their tattered battle flags; when the farmers wept as they watched their land burn. Chaos has begun. This is an era of suffering, and this is an era of heroes. Having witnessed the horrors of war, the first lord chose to recuperate in the valley and create a paradise, calling himself the lord of the other side of the mountain. Disliked by his family, the second-generation lord left his hometown by chance. When the great era arrives, what will he do? How will "I," who recorded all of this, continue the legend of my fathers? Will I draw my sword and rise up, or will I forge swords into plowshares? This is a tragic tale spanning three generations of lords and a century. On the other side of the mountain, the lords struggled within the cycle of their own fate. This is the story of ordinary people, a story waiting for you to create miracles. Welcome to join our discussion group: 128600538. We look forward to your attention to "The Lord Beyond the Mountain"!

8 异 Mutation 异化 The Angry Banana愤怒的香蕉Urban974k WordsOngoing Flight: humanity's oldest dream. What does it feel like to have superpowers? I think the truest answer isn't that you can slaughter your way through the world or save it like Superman. It's that one day you stand high above the ground and look down at the world beneath you. Cities and landscapes seem to shrink before your eyes. Skyscrapers, roads and bridges, cars like little boxes, and crowds bustling along the streets: everything looks like an exquisitely crafted dream. It's like standing atop 0Votes460.9kRecs94kFans

Flying, humanity's oldest dream. What would it feel like to have superpowers? I think the most realistic feeling isn't about wreaking havoc or saving the world like Superman. It's about standing high in the sky, looking down at the world below. Cities and the earth appear shrunken before your eyes—skyscrapers, roads, bridges, cars that look like tiny boxes, and people bustling in the streets—like a beautifully crafted dream. It's like someone with acrophobia standing atop a hundred-story building looking down. That kind of perspective is absolutely different from what you see on a television screen. This is an urban fantasy novel that begins with flight. It will feature the most intense and exciting battles with superpowers, as well as the most heartwarming and down-to-earth urban life. I hope to use the most absurd framework to depict the most realistic life, blending superpowers and urban life as much as possible, so that readers feel: Ah, although there are superpowers, this is indeed how our lives are. It aims to allow readers to clearly see the protagonist's life and feel: He might be right next to us.
