3.33
"The world underwent a mutation that year. The game world appeared in reality and various disasters started to ravage the world. To resist all of this, everyone had to plan for their job choice, manically level up, and strive to become stronger. There were mages, warriors, knights, and summoners—over 100 different kinds of jobs. This was a job that a person would be stuck with his entire life. Thus, everyone chose cautiously. Out of this dazzling array of jobs, Moses picked Knight—which had the most average ability value—to be his job. At the same time, he also awakened the Hundredfold Increase System. ""Ding! Detected that the host learned Shielding. The skill has become Absolute Defense after the hundredfold increase!"" ""Ding! Detected that the host learned Defensive Domain. The skill has become No Damage Domain after the hundredfold increase!"" At the same time, Moses also discovered that his job could evolve infinitely! ""Ding! Detected that the host's Knight job has met the conditions for a hundredfold increase. The job has become Great Knight... Paladin... Impregnable Fortress!" -

3.73
"Su Chen transmigrated to a time one month before doomsday. It was an ordinary world, yet Su Chen awakened the Doomsday Login System! The system even reminded Su Chen that there was only one month left before doomsday. He would obtain rewards as long as he logged in every day, logged in naturally, and logged in at dangerous places. ""Ding! Your automatic login has been registered. You obtained the ultimate brawling technique!"" ""Ding! You successfully logged in at a volcano. You obtained Fire Fist!"" ""Ding! Your automatic login has been registered. You obtained doomsday resources—100 bottles of mineral water!"" After the catastrophic event, monsters roamed the world, and the space that humanity had for survival got infinitely smaller. Even those who were awakened felt miserable as they started to train. However, by this time, Su Chen had reached his peak and had nothing else to do. Even the refuge center he was rewarded with had become the safest place in the world!" -
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Idiot is a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger in 1868–69. The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince (Knyaz) Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness, open-hearted simplicity and guilelessness lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky set himself the task of depicting "the positively good and beautiful man." The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. Joseph Frank describes The Idiot as "the most personal of all Dostoevsky's major works, the book in which he embodies his most intimate, cherished, and sacred convictions." It includes descriptions of some of his most intense personal ordeals, such as epilepsy and mock execution, and explores moral, spiritual and philosophical themes consequent upon them. His primary motivation in writing the novel was to subject his own highest ideal, that of true Christian love, to the crucible of contemporary Russian society. The artistic method of conscientiously testing his central idea meant that the author could not always predict where the plot was going as he was writing. The novel has an awkward structure, and many critics have commented on its seemingly chaotic organization. According to Gary Saul Morson, "The Idiot violates every critical norm and yet somehow manages to achieve real greatness." Dostoevsky himself was of the opinion that the experiment was not entirely successful, but the novel remained his favourite among his works. In a letter to Strakhov he wrote: "Much in the novel was written hurriedly, much is too diffuse and did not turn out well, but some of it did turn out well. I do not stand behind the novel, but I do stand behind the idea. -
