Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian era world where he sees a world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, difference machines, as well as Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, Sealed Artifacts… The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions.

Born into the prestigious Lu family, the eldest young master was foretold by a master that he would not live past the age of 25. This ominous prophecy clung to him for two decades. On his 20th birthday, fate took a dramatic turn when he accidentally hit a girl with his car. In a moment of compassion, Young Master Lu rushed the girl to the hospital, and from that moment on, their lives became inextricably linked. "Young Master Lu, could you do me a favor? Help me get my mom to divorce my good-for-nothing dad, please?" "Young Master Lu, I've been kidnapped! Do something!" "Young Master Lu, my head hurts..." "Young Master Lu, my stomach aches..." Lu Zechuan, known for his cold and distant demeanor, found himself softening for this petite and delicate girl. He treated her with utmost care, as if she were made of glass, fearing that the slightest mishandling would cause her harm. The world saw Lu Zechuan's unwavering devotion to Xia Mian, a love that penetrated to the very core of his being. Yet, what remained hidden from the world was the truth: it was Xia Mian who held the key to extending Lu Zechuan's life.

I was born in the 1980s, and officially stepped into the world of Feng Shui in 2006. Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed mysteries that most would never believe. In 2013, over 100,000 fish died mysteriously in Liaozhong Reservoir… In Tower Bay Street, spirits marched in a ghostly parade… In Wenguantun, shadowy markets rose at dusk… And in front of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, a ghostly princess once sat in her palanquin. Were these the workings of nature — or something far more ancient and unseen? In ten years, I’ve saved lives — and yes, I’ve ruined some too. Feng Shui is like a blade: it bears no evil or virtue. The darkness lies in the hearts of men. This book is not written to boast about my mastery or to chase after the sensational. I write to share a truth: Feng Shui can nurture life — or destroy it. There is no good or evil in the art itself. Only in the human heart.

In a world where martial artists reign supreme, strength is everything. Unfortunately, that logic doesn't apply to a certain Florida Man. Refined in the nuclear fallout wasteland, Leo was the strongest mutant alive. He carried an alien artifact, allowing him to exchange his lifespan for modern items. After 50,000 years of solitary life in a humanless world, he collected enough lifespan to transmigrate to another habitable world. Leo was later thrown into a mysterious planet. He soon discovered that his body produced radiation, and it mutated the surrounding plants and grasses. Worrying that he might ruin the beautiful planet, he chose to live in seclusion. Unfortunately, the local population soon discovered his existence, and a misunderstanding ensued.

Di dunia di mana seniman bela diri berkuasa, kekuatan adalah segalanya. Sayangnya, logika tersebut tidak berlaku untuk Florida Man tertentu. Dibentuk di gurun radiasi nuklir, Leo adalah mutan terkuat yang hidup. Dia membawa artefak alien yang memungkinkannya menukar umur hidupnya dengan barang-barang modern. Setelah 50.000 tahun kehidupan soliter di dunia tanpa manusia, dia mengumpulkan cukup umur hidup untuk berpindah ke dunia yang dapat dihuni. Leo kemudian dilemparkan ke planet misterius. Dia segera menemukan bahwa tubuhnya menghasilkan radiasi, dan itu memutasikan tanaman dan rumput sekitar. Khawatir bahwa dia mungkin menghancurkan planet yang indah, dia memilih untuk hidup menyendiri. Sayangnya, penduduk lokal segera menemukan keberadaannya, dan kesalahpahaman pun terjadi.

In einer Welt, in der Kampfsportler die Oberhand haben, ist Stärke alles. Leider gilt diese Logik nicht für einen gewissen Florida Man. Leo war der stärkste lebende Mutant, der im nuklearen Brachland entwickelt wurde. Er trug ein außerirdisches Artefakt bei sich, das es ihm ermöglichte, seine Lebensspanne gegen moderne Gegenstände einzutauschen. Nach 50.000 Jahren einsamen Lebens in einer menschenleeren Welt hatte er genug Lebenszeit gesammelt, um in eine andere bewohnbare Welt zu transmigrieren. Leo wurde später auf einen geheimnisvollen Planeten geworfen. Bald entdeckte er, dass sein Körper Strahlung produzierte, die die umliegenden Pflanzen und Gräser mutieren ließ. Da er befürchtete, den schönen Planeten zu ruinieren, entschied er sich für ein Leben in der Abgeschiedenheit. Unglücklicherweise entdeckte die örtliche Bevölkerung bald seine Existenz, und es kam zu einem Missverständnis.

I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?
