In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand slam, leaving countless fans feeling regretful and saddened.... more>>

During the same year, the KID base’s mecha mechanic had his team doctor qualification revoked for violating league rules. The base’s owner had no choice but to release a recruitment announcement, which instantly sparked a heated debate within the league.

“What? Hiring? How much is the salary?”

“As we all know, KID is very poor. Don’t bother applying.”

“There are so few mechanics, yet you offer this salary. Are you taking us as fools?”

Before long, the KID base actually recruited a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that obscured his face and loose long sleeves, revealing faint glimmers of cold light from intricate mechanical hand within his sleeve. He appeared frail and delicate, more like a vase than a mecha mechanic.

“Is his right hand a prosthetic? Mechanical hand? Are you kidding me? Can it be accurate?”

“I doubt he can even lift an outer armor plate.”

Two years later, the Mecha Alliance underwent restructuring, requiring the team doctors of the alliance’s base teams to participate in battles. The KID club submitted its roster, and there was a new ID on the list—[sink] .

The people in the league then realized that KID not only recruited a mechanic but also one with explosive combat power.

Ying Chenlin was reborn and returned to his genetically mutated 18-year-old self.

During that year, he had just won the first grand slam of the Mecha Alliance, following his heart and pursuing his dreams relentlessly. However, two years later, he suffered from genetic backlash, leaving him disabled in half of his body, leading a life confined to a wheelchair.

In his most difficult years, it was KID’s boss who took him in, giving him a chance, teaching him a new profession, and pulling him out of the abyss. Starting anew, he turned down offers from various bases, resolutely retired before his body deteriorated further, and applied to become a mecha mechanic at the KID base.

Repaying the debt, recovering his health, starting over again—he had experienced the pinnacle, and even if he was full of scars, he was determined to reach the summit once more.

At level 30, players can enter the dungeon [Tiandi Temple] , infamous for its brutal mechanics and extreme difficulty, making it a nightmare for solo players—a true battlefield for the new player servers.

On the 3145 Newbie Server, a makeshift raid team was formed. The team leader, standing at the dungeon entrance, casually picked up a newbie healer to fill the group.

The newbie looked gentle and composed, radiating the aura of a benevolent healer.

Until they faced the boss.

Swiftly maneuvering across the crumbling ground, flawlessly dodging lethal attacks, and dishing out a staggering 40% of the team’s total damage—

The teammates: “……?!”

“Boss, with skills like that, why are you playing a healer? Just roll a mage or warrior and dominate!”

Zhou Sui pulled up the combat stats and replied honestly,

“Healers have low base damage, but their speed bonuses are high. It suits me better.”

The teammates: “?”

Later, players discovered—

He used healing skills as crowd-control removals.

He used escape skills as dash attacks.

He used support skills as damage-boosting burst mechanics.

His skill tree and build felt eerily familiar…

Players: “Wait—Isn’t that an assassin’s skill build? This guy’s playing a healer like an assassin?!”

Zhou Sui, in-game ID: [Cycle of Eternity] .

A former prodigy of the Elite Training Camp, forced to retire under special circumstances at the peak of his prime, disappearing for three years.

Now, back in the public eye—

His dazzling skillset, god-tier mechanics, and an assassin-style healer build shook the entire gaming world.

On the StarNet forums—

A newbie player asked: “Has anyone analyzed [Cycle of Eternity] ‘s skill tree? It looks insane!”

Player A: “RUN. DO NOT LEARN IT.”

Player B: “Wait, you want to main ‘Healer Assassin’???”

Player C: “First, you need to be [Cycle of Eternity] . Second, you need to be [Cycle of Eternity] .”

Player D: “Lastly, if you want to dominate both PvE and PvP, you need a healer partner named [Yin-Yang Harmony] bound to your soul.”

Su Yu was blind and had lost one of his three hun.(1) From childhood, he’d gone without his parents' affections and suffered from bullying within his family. His body’s sole value lay in his spiritual marriage contract with the genius of Xize's Gu family. Alas, on the day he came of age, his spiritual contract was destroyed, and his last exploitable worth within the family disappeared along with it. After being pushed off a cliff, he fell directly into a profound abyss.... more>>

With this fall, Su Yu lost his memory, but his innate spiritual eyes awakened.

***

In the middle of nowhere, in a strange and changeful, bewildering town...all were wandering ghosts with no place to rest. The ghosts stared at the newly arrived food as tigers did their prey—a blind mortal with soft skin and tender flesh, quite handsome to look at as well—but when they bared their fangs, they unwittingly became the blind man's underlings.

He was dressed in rags, his hazy grey eyes seemed to have no focus, and his words were merciless and ice-cold: “Want to redeem yourselves? It's simple. Work to atone for your sins.”

The ghosts later discovered the so-called redemption—

Lesser evils in one's lifetime meant labour for ten years.

Greater evils in one's lifetime meant rotting in prison.

Their black-hearted boss didn't only catch ghosts, he even caught demonic beasts from the neighbouring Xianling Township. In the end, he even captured Tianlu Mountain's head disciple!

***

Xize's Gu Zizhou, Tianlu Mountain's head disciple whom everyone respected, was a renowned young sword immortal in the cultivation world. Alas, when he was down and out, he encountered another’s machinations and fell into the Abyss of All Evil.

Yet when he opened his eyes, several forsaken souls gathered around him, skilfully jotting down with brush and ink in hand.

"Where's your ancestral home? What evil deeds have you done? Did you misstep or were you pushed down by an enemy?"

"You're foolish ah. Of course you must've been pushed down by your enemy. This sort of work won't last long. If it isn't up to the Boss's standards, you might even need to shell out money."

"Boss you're here, this is a newcomer, take a look at 'em!"

Gu Zizhou looked up, catching sight of a youth in blazing red clothes in the distance. His eyes were covered by gauze, and his complexion pale. With just a glimpse of the figure, the spiritual contract in the depths of his soul relaxed.

The blind youth: "What do they look like?"

A little ghost: "Boss, he's passable, maybe capable of acting as a watchman for our Abyss of All Evil."

Gu Zizhou: "?"

The business bigshot who covered the sky with one hand, Zhao Yao, died of an illness. Once he opened his eyes, he returned to the age of 23 when he was discharged from the hospital after a car accident. He was pushed in a wheelchair into a meeting where the family was fighting for power. Facing the Zhao family’s fighting, Zhao Yao moved to a comfortable position and watched the farce. “You are free to do as you please.”... more>>

In his last life, he was so powerful but he died of illness. In this life, he had no intention of entering the Zhao family’s bottomless family business. Facing a new life, Zhao Yao thought of the advice from his psychologist in his previous life. “Mr Zhao, perhaps you need to fall in love?”

Mr Zhao had been single all his life so he placed an order to buy highly rated reference books, including ‘The Guide to Love.’ He went through them one by one with the attitude of reviewing a 10 billion yuan project. “Step one, become a rich man.”

Zhao Yao frowned slightly. “So simple?”

After a while, the stars of a performing arts company shone, the performance of a live streaming company was rising and so on…

Zhao Yao, who was still single, asked his partner in a distressed manner, “Pei Mingzhan, have you ever been in a relationship?”

Pei Mingzhan’s gaze was deep. “It is simple. I’ll teach you.”

Later in the hotel’s business room, Zhao Yao finished reading the yellow book and casually shouted, “Pei Mingzhan, how are you?”

Pei Mingzhan calmly closed the notebook, his voice slightly heavy. “I’m fine.” <<less

At this time, his brother hadn’t experienced a car accident while his parents were in good health and weren’t seriously ill. The Chen family was still the prosperous Chen family and everyone thought he was a good-for-nothing who was useless and easily taken advantage of.

“He only knows how to quarrel with his older brother every day. He is arrogant and willful!”

“He looks good, but unfortunately, he is an idiot.”

“Isn’t he a useless person? Just serve him well.”

“It is a pity about that child of the Chen family.”

There were the group of scoundrel friends who were full of thoughts, the rats eyeing him covetously and the old, cunning people who were secretly scheming.

Chen Qizhao put on a mask of arrogance again. ‘Do you like acting so much? Why don’t we act together?’

It wasn’t until later that everyone discovered that at the end of the play, they would either go bankrupt or be imprisoned. <<less
