Techno-Heretic

Techno-Heretic

Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.

A novel as good as The Heretic Mentor
There were novels similar to 'Heretic Mentor': Book of Troubled Times, Author: Ji Cha 2:"Spiritual Realm Walker", Author: Xiao Langjun 3: The Tang's Table, Author: Jie and 2 4."King of Familiars", Author: Light Spring Flowing Sound Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation, Author: Mi Tian Building National Forensic Medicine, Author: Zhiniao Village 7:"Wait, Heroine." Author: Guan Guan Gongzi 8: Mantang Colorful, Author: Weird Cousin 9:"Hidden Dead Corner", Author: Get Lost Final Divine Duty, Author: Tuoba Goudan Beyond Time, Author: Er Gen This Game Is Too Real by Chen Xing LL Red Heart Sky Patrol, Author: What's the Matter? Ring of Destiny, Author: Squid Who Loves to Dive National Master of Ming Dynasty, Author: West Lake Encountered Rain Choose a Day to Ascend, Author: Otaku Pig 17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?" Author: What's Wrong? Deep Sea Ember, Author: Yuantong Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts, Author: Wenplagiarism 20:"Who told him to cultivate!" Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a very good fantasy novel. It is definitely not to be missed by readers who like fantasy novels. The author's writing style was excellent, the plot was also very exciting, and the creative setting was also very innovative. The supporting characters were also very lively and interesting, leaving a deep impression on people. The Almighty's work could be said to have written the Jianghu in the hearts of some people. Even though the later stages of the game inevitably moved toward the middle and high martial arts path due to the background setting and plot development, the first and middle stages were still dominated by Jianghu and Wuxia styles. On the whole, the book brought joy and pleasure to the readers, and occasionally (often) brought some happy elements to the readers. The protagonist was controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes and led to a martial arts world with broken pieces of the secret realm. He rode a horse in the martial arts world and rebuilt the country. For the sake of some female confidantes, he also discovered the secrets of the past. In this world, every movement in the martial world, the emergence of newcomers, and the evolution of prodigies would be broadcasted in the sky in real time. This was the Book of Chaos. In addition, the description of the female characters in this book was also very good. It was full of the aura of the female protagonist and left a deep impression on people. In general, this book was more relaxing and enjoyable than the previous two books. It seemed to be alright. 2."Spirit Realm Walker": The newspaper seller wrote about his sister, great-grandmother, and sister. Now, he finally made his move on his sister-in-law. The style of the new book is the same as always. The opening and deciphering routine is tried and tested. Anyway, I'm quite excited. In addition, the comments of the idiotic readers were the essence. 3."The Tang's Dinner Table": It's written very well. I'm a godly author, and the content is guaranteed. There's no need to talk about the writing style or the plot. It's just that the updates are a little slow, and the story development is also a little slow. Anyway, I'm just keeping it for now. I'll read it when it's published. (I've been reading it for more than a month. I feel that there are more and more problems with the writing. I can't even understand what I'm writing.) 4."King of Familiars": Qing Quan's new book: In this brand new era of familiars, who can become the well-deserved King of Familiars? 5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": It's not bad. It's a little interesting to see for yourself. You've transmigrated to a game world where the imperial court and the sect are opposing each other. You know the general direction. The main character is the son of the prime minister. He has an invincible brother who protects his children, a father who has power over the government and the people for the country, and an idealistic sister (not his biological daughter, adopted daughter). Now, the main character has a big ice block, a direct disciple of a large sect. Doesn't she know common sense? Probably. A Holy Maiden of the Fraud Sect, could she be Luo Yu or a young girl? Originally, his attitude was not good. In the last Acacia Faction inheritance, they had experienced decades of illusions together. They probably had a good time there. After they came out, they had an argument and parted on bad terms. There was also an undercover girl with a succubus physique. There wasn't much storyline, so the rest was boring. National Forensic: National Forensic is an amazing novel. The author perfectly combined the knowledge and interest of forensic science, making people feel the charm of forensic science. From daily life to solving cases, the author's description made people feel particularly comfortable, allowing people to experience the unique charm of forensic science. The short stories in the story were also quite interesting, which made people interested in the skills and settings of forensic doctors. Even though some skills were no longer relevant to the practical application of forensics, this did not affect the reader's interest in the story. In addition, the book seemed to have completely abandoned the emotional line, and there was almost no related plot, which made the whole story even more interesting. Overall, National Forensics was a novel that made people's eyes light up. It was worth recommending to everyone. Rating: 7."Wait, Heroine": Quite chivalrous and tender, well written. 8."Mantang Colorful Colors":"Mantang Colorful Colors" is a fascinating novel about the power struggles of the Tang Dynasty. The author, Weird Cousin, brought the readers into a prosperous and dangerous Tang Dynasty with his unique writing style and rich plot ideas. The story began with the protagonist waking up from a dream. He saw the prosperity and crisis of the Tang Dynasty and was determined to save the Tang Dynasty that was about to fall. The story was thrilling and fascinating, making it impossible for people to extricate themselves. The author's description was exquisite, and the characters were vivid, making people feel as if they were in the Longevity City of the Tang Dynasty. The whole story was compact and full of suspense. It made people look forward to how the protagonist would survive in this dangerous Tang Dynasty and how he would face the upcoming An Lushan Rebellion. The author's writing was smooth and the plot was fascinating, giving people a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty. In short,"Colorful Tang" was a fascinating novel about power struggles. It was worth recommending to readers who liked the history of the Tang Dynasty. 9."Hidden Dead Corner":"Hidden Dead Corner" is a book that scram. At first, it may cause some resistance, but his works are sometimes difficult to evaluate. However, this book was still quite suitable for reading. It was simple and easy to understand. It told the story of the main character fighting the dungeon. The main character also had a golden finger that could transform into an armored warrior. Get Lost's new book,"The Second Watch Beast," was also quite good. Although the beginning was a little poisonous, it gradually became fascinating as the story developed. The protagonist's cheat could absorb the words of different flowers to form a floral mecha. The content of this book was quite attractive. It was similar to the infinite style, but there was no exchange of combat power. The protagonist was also very special. His golden finger was a variety of armor that could be upgraded. The author's writing skills were outstanding, and the supporting characters 'IQ was barely acceptable. Overall, this book had a score of 80. It was a rather attractive work. 10."Final Divine Duty": A pretty good Deep Blue work. Goldfinger was a dark blue system that could add points to attributes and skills. If he was not mistaken, he was a smurf, and his writing skills were relatively skilled. The world view was set better, and the various concepts and factions were richer. The timing of the introduction was also good, and there would not be a stiff feeling of changing maps. Currently, the main character was about to change maps and enter the official faction for the first time. The next part would be more difficult to write. It was very easy for the main character to lose the challenge because of his unparalleled strength. Hopefully, the author had written a good outline. 11."Beyond Time": Heaven and Earth are the guest houses of all living beings, and time is a passer-by from ancient times to the present. The difference between life and death was like the difference between dreams and waking up. It was ever-changing and could not be questioned. Then, beyond life and death, beyond heaven and earth, beyond time, what awaits us? 12:"This Game Is Too Real": This is the first book I read by Chen Xing. At first, I felt that it had a faint taste of "Super God Mechanic". Perhaps it was because of the setting. In short, the content was good, but I felt an inexplicable sense of impulsiveness when I reached chapter 180. Perhaps it was because of me, so I should push this book to everyone. Those who don't like to follow updates suggest to wait a little longer. This book is a little short. "Red Heart Sky Patrol":"Red Heart Sky Patrol" is a novel that can be easily read. The story will not make people feel sad and it is very enjoyable to read. The author's writing style was excellent, and it could give the readers a particularly good reading experience. I highly recommend this book, especially for those readers who like to read light-hearted novels. This book is definitely worth reading. The story was about a young man who bore a blood feud. When he was faced with a disaster, he used a life-burning skill to save his sister. This immense sense of powerlessness made people feel extremely heavy, but it was also an emotional expression in the story, making people feel the pain and helplessness of the protagonist. The first time I heard of this book was when it was first published. I gave up after reading only one chapter. But recently, this book has been ranked first in the monthly votes, so I picked it up again. After reading the first two chapters, I felt that it was a little toxic, but then I stayed up for three consecutive nights, completely absorbed by the description of the story. The author's efforts and effort were evident. This book gave people a sense of epic, and it could be seen that the author had put a lot of effort into it. My evaluation of this book is an upgraded version of Da Feng's Watchmen. The mid-stage plot is very suitable for Buddhist reading. Reading a few chapters from time to time can bring some relaxed and happy feelings. Overall, I highly recommend Red Heart Sky Patrol. It's a novel that's worth reading. "Ring of Destiny":"Ring of Destiny" was a new book. Although it had not updated a chapter, it had already won the honor of the Hundred Leagues. The monthly votes had also reached more than 7,000. This caused the book reading circle to boil. Like The Lord of the Mysteries, this book continued the same worldview, but the way it was described was completely different. Squid's innovative spirit was admirable. He constantly tried new writing techniques, whether it was innovation or on the road to innovation. The Ring of Destiny was a fascinating novel. Even though it was still in the midst of being serialised, its number of readers was already very high. It had become a very popular book on Qidian's male channel. Whether it was praise or criticism, people could not deny its popularity. The book's rating was also very high, reaching 9.5. Personally, I don't think this rating is an exaggeration, because the number of users is amazing. The popularity and reviews of this book were very high. To the readers of Qidian Chinese Network, they should already have some understanding. Therefore, I won't introduce you further. However, what I want to say is that whether you are a reader of Qidian Chinese Network or not, I recommend you to read this book. It was not only a novel, but also a spiritual journey. It will make you think about the meaning of life, the value of emotions, the mysteries of psychology, the changes of society, and the lessons of history. Whether it's from the book's content or from outside the book to real life, this book can give you inspiration. Overall, the Ring of Destiny was a fascinating novel. It was not only a novel, but also a spiritual journey. Regardless of whether you like the squid's writing style or the storyline of this book, I strongly recommend you to read this book. It will give you a lot of inspiration and thinking, allowing you to gain more insights from the book. 15:"Great Ming State Preceptor":[recommendation index] [Key words] popular science It was worth a look to read about all kinds of economic, historical, and other related knowledge under the guise of historical literature. (Five stars because I like popular science too much.) Forgotten again. 16:"Ascending on the Right Day": The work of a great god, Qi Practitioner type, excellent writing style, very fat, can be started😊 The main character was a native, and his identity was not ordinary. Every once in a while, he would be fed some Meng Po soup to seal his memories. However, as the protagonist's cultivation deepened, the seal became weaker and weaker, and he began to think of his biological parents. The main character was initially an orphan adopted by a captured Naga. His adoptive father was oppressed to death by the evil Big, and he had been catching snakes to support himself since he was young.😞 Worldview: During the feudal era, humans could become stall masters if they mastered stall techniques. The yao race had yao arts, but they were inferior to stall arts and were suppressed by humans. At the same time, there was the Dao of Incense. After a person or demon died, they could be conferred the title of a god by the imperial court. They could be made into a golden body and worshipped by the common people. They belonged to the Yin Court. The Imperial Court, which mastered the art of stall, and the Underworld, which mastered the gods, were the two great powers of the common people.️At the end of the dynasty, the two great emperors fought for power and refused to accept each other. The main character was talented. He defeated the little yao in his hometown and stole many yao arts. He cultivated them himself and could even point out the shortcomings of the yao arts. Unfortunately, yao arts were all beginner level cultivation techniques and had no future. It was also because of this that it was better to spread the arts. After the protagonist was oppressed by the big shark god, he was no longer willing to tolerate it. He became angry with the shark god and began to escape. Accompanying him was a Hui Yao that he had captured. One man and one snake became best friends after escaping. After a fortuitous encounter, they even joined a seriously injured Zhong Ling. The three hooligans were officially established! With the addition of the bell, the truth that had been hidden began to surface. It turned out that demonic arts were the cultivation techniques of human Qi Practitioners, and the highest level of cultivation was to ascend to immortality. However, the path of ascension was blocked by a mysterious person, and thus, all the Qi Practitioners in the world could no longer ascend. As for the high-end Qi Practitioner techniques, they were all gone. With the appearance of the Tan Technique, the humans started to cultivate the Tan Technique, and the unnoticed beginner Qi Practitioner techniques became the main cultivation technique of the demon race, and they started to be called demonic techniques. However, there was no future for the Tan Technique, so the cultivators of the Yin Court started to study the Qi Practitioners 'techniques again, and those who were talented in this aspect became their targets. One man, one snake, and one bell slowly unraveled the truth of ascension while chasing and cultivating. The author played a very big game of chess, and his worldview was very big. Looking at the character list, it should be the female lead. The female lead appeared relatively late and was dressed as a man. He should have been born in a big family. I haven't seen the back yet The three main characters were quite funny. The villains were smart, but the supporting characters were not. Basically, there were no negative points. It could be considered a cool novel. The main character was a genius and had not suffered a setback so far. It's not a loss to study, my family! 17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Being Reborn": A 40-year-old worker was reborn. When the college entrance examination just ended, he was hooked by a green tea for 6.7 years in high school and university. He suddenly realized that a new Chen dog had appeared. There were quite a few jokes and many natural memes in the chapter. It looked quite happy. [Summing up: Food +] "Deep Sea Ember": Woke up in the room, abnormal state, unable to contact the outside world, no water and electricity, the lights are still on, the computer can also be turned on, but the power cord is unplugged. He tried his best to leave no marks on the wall. The absurd story really happened. Although it was creepy, there was really a person named Zhou Ming who was trapped in a crazy and strange space-time phenomenon. He opened the door of the white room and came out on a ship. He had become the captain and had to go out to explore the ship because he was running out of food. He was called Zhou Ming in the room and Duncan Abnomar on the ship. Why was he the only one on the ship? Where was the ship going? What if he didn't know how to sail? [Water] The article copies the new book, the fast food refreshes the article, the quantity is big, the tube is full. [Re-evaluation] It was on sale today, and the quantity was as large as before. If you like the longevity style, you can try it out. It's still satisfying to read it as a cool novel. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a novel that made people laugh out loud. The author used humorous language and unique writing techniques to create a different world of cultivation. After the protagonist of the story, Lu Yang, joined Dao Seeking Sect, he began a series of ridiculous immortal cultivation journey. From the discussion with his senior sister about how to cheat, to the fact that he and his three senior brothers accepted the Demon Sect's commission to infiltrate their sect as spies, to the accidental opening of the Internet Celebrity Barbecue Restaurant, Lu Yang's path of cultivation was full of jokes and accidents. The author's writing style was humorous and the plot design was reasonable, making people laugh. This novel was not only a cultivation novel, but also a work that made people happy. It was worth reading. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
