“Commander! Outbreak detected in District C!” Commander Lionel narrowed his eyes as he glared at the massive screen before him where a map was displayed. A single pulsating red dot steadily expanded on the map, growing bigger and bigger as the clock continued ticking. “This… it’s the biggest one I’ve seen yet…” “What should we do, Commander?” A woman wearing glasses standing beside Lionel asked. “What’s the Ghosts’ archetype?!” He asked in a hurry, ignoring the woman’s…-

Because I just can’t find a good place to toss in a description of the world in the story without ruining the flow, I’ll just put one here. Bear with me. The reality plane of LGH (this novel) is one massive island. If you’ve read my other novel, Ascension: Online, then it’s similar to Ascentia… except instead of 8 continents, there are 26 ‘Districts’. For clarity’s sake, every District in this novel is just labeled from A-Z. Okay, that’s a lie, it’s just because I suck at coming up…

"Stop!" Zuixian regained his senses, but still burdened by the increased weight of his body, the Wine Eccentric struggled to keep up with Xiao Hu's extreme speed. 'I should leave this place, but if I do...things will only get worse.' In the blink of an eye, Haoyue assessed the situation, and despite her desire to escape Xiao Hu's murderous blows, knew that by doing so, she'd be doing the Myriad Beast Gang a service. This fight wasn't just about Haoyue, but the location of the formation's eye.…-

'I am your big brother.' 'I am your big brother.' 'I am your big brother.' Like the looping ballad of a talentless bard, Zuixian's words repeated in Haoyue's mind, following a grim and broken tune that made a mess of the Dongli princess' brain. All her life, Haoyue had been convinced of this one thing: her father was a loyal man. Loyal to his state, loyal to his vows, loyal...to his family, Shui Jiankang embodied loyalty, and despite the emasculating rumors circulating among Dongli royals and…

Equipped with the resilience of an adamantine surface, despite the ear-splitting impact of Xiao Hu's back crashing on it, the maze-block wall didn't fracture. The pipa sword demoness' body slid down, her bloodied back leaving a thick trail of blood as she dropped to the ground. As the primary receiver of Zuixian's herculean blow, Xiao Hu's face became a mess of blood and gore. But barely had she landed on the ground that the battered nose, bruises and broken bones, all regenerated — returning to their…

"You again?" Following her initial stupor at the uncanny resemblance between Zuixian and Haoyue's eyes, Xiao Hu regained her composure, sighing at the realization that she was once more crossing paths with the wine addict. "Come on, don't say it like that. Makes it sound like I'm some kind of creep that follows you around left and right, north and south, leaping out of shadows out of the blue to get a piece of...you." "You are a creep." "I'd rather think that you and I are just bound by the whims of…
