The concept of Creation encompasses the entirety of existence as well as non-existence, representing an intricate interconnection essential for maintaining balance within the framework of Creation itself. Existence embodies all that we have observed, including galaxies, universes, the theory of the multiverse, and beyond. Consequently, countless undiscovered truths remain as mysteries; even infinite celestial bodies represent only a fraction of the greater whole. It is understood that even the most potent celestial entities, including deities, may lack insight into the ultimate truths underlying Existence. Humanity has developed systems designed for traversing the cosmos in pursuit of knowledge; however, these explorations have often yielded little in terms of concrete understanding. Many have found themselves in a state of confusion, leading to a collective withdrawal from exploration. This trend persisted until the emergence of an individual driven by a profound curiosity regarding the truths of Creation. This individual, Jonathan, committed himself to extensive reading, which chronicled the journeys of those who had traversed the cosmos, thereby offering invaluable insights for humanity to reclaim its most illustrious era. In his quest, Jonathan stands before an ancient and imposing set of Doors adorned with unknown symbols, which resonate with immense power that defies quantification. Jonathan realizes that unlocking these doors entails solving a complex puzzle, prompting him to embark on an expedition to uncover the missing symbols. During his adventures, he encounters Mary Carter, a young woman possessing an obsession with literature containing information about the cosmos. They quickly form a partnership, united by their shared objective. A significant clue within one of Mary's texts directs them to Indonesia, specifically to the Candi Borobudur, where they believe a manuscript exists that contains the knowledge required to transcend dimensional barriers. This manuscript is crucial to solving the puzzle of the Ancient Doors. With this objective in mind, they prepare for their journey to Indonesia. However, one may question whether their expedition will progress smoothly or if they will find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances. Who knows, but we'll see it soon...

When I was seventeen, I left my village and went to Dongguan, chasing the kind of hope only a desperate kid believes in. The city didn’t welcome me. I was cheated, bullied, overworked, and nearly robbed— until she appeared. Li Yan. Twenty-three. Beautiful. Mysterious. Untouchable. Everyone in the factory knew her name, but no one dared to talk about her past. Our first meeting? She saved my luggage, shut up the supervisor who tried to bully me, and handed me a warm meal I hadn’t eaten in days. “Stick with me,” she said. “No one here can hurt you again.” People whispered that she was dangerous. That her background was dirty. That she had seen and done things she would never confess. But I saw her crying alone in a tiny rented room. I heard the pain she tried so hard to hide. I realized she gave me all the softness she denied herself. She wasn’t my real sister— but she treated me better than family ever did. And somewhere along the line… the way I looked at her changed. Until the night I discovered her secret— a truth that could destroy both her future and mine. She lives in a world of neon lights, smoky bars, and invisible scars. But she is also the woman who taught me courage, tenderness, and desire. And I made a promise: If the world refuses to protect her, then I will. Because the boy she saved has grown up— and he’s coming back for her.

This story charts a path to divinity within a virtual world, mirroring a legend of ruthless ambition in the modern city. Liu Yun was a scavenger, a nobody living in the city's darkest corners. While dying of a terminal disease, he stumbled into the mysterious online game Life’s Mirage. It was a gamble born of despair, yet it triggered a miracle: a complete bind between his soul and his game character.

From that moment, Liu Yun’s life split into two thrilling paths. Online, he built a faction with an iron hand, vying against powerful guilds for the ultimate prize: the "City Creation Token."

But power comes at a price. His anomaly disrupted the balance of the world, drawing the eyes of dangerous enemies. Caught in a deadly loop where virtual strategies decide real-world survival, and real-world dangers force desperate in-game progression, Liu Yun must dominate both battlefields.

He is now a Sporeborn, a mutated human living in the canopy of a Source tree called Heartwood Tree, surrounded by a world of acidic spore mists and zombie/ghost-like horrors.
