Tobias' Coordinates

​ Sons of the Sea: The Curse of the Unknown Horizon ​Captain Leoo, a man of Greek descent nicknamed "Son of Alexander the Great," commands his legendary ship, The Blue Mercury, and his loyal crew, the "Sons of the Sea," on an adventure that transcends the boundaries of maps. Leoo is a unique mix of brilliant intellect, shrewdness, and cunning, yet he is beloved by his crew, who consider him their true family. ​Leo does not settle for ordinary piracy; his grand goal is to find the lost cities beneath the waves, foremost among them the mythical Atlantis. But his path to glory is fraught with dual peril: ​The Eternal Chase: He must survive the relentless attacks of the vicious pirate Ryce, leader of the despised gang "The Homeless," who seeks to destroy Leoo and steal his glory. ​The Deadly Challenge: Leoo uncovers a terrifying secret at the heart of the sea: a hidden location ruled by an enigmatic king who imposes a difficult riddle on every visitor. Leoo has only one day to answer; he will either be rewarded with precise information that brings him closer to Atlantis, or be brutally killed. ​As the cunning captain navigates between naval battles and deadly puzzles, the image of his beautiful daughter, far from his reach, remains his sole anchor and motivation. ​Can Leoo decipher the sea's code, escape Ryce, and achieve the legend? Set sail with the Sons of the Sea on a journey full of surprises, where the secret lies in information, and failure means death.

Regicide: Variation I

Niu Wang Maitian's Assassinate the Qin: One Style takes Zhang Yimou's film Hero as its spiritual matrix, forging the trembling arrows, overwhelming ink-wash, and splitting zither strings from the silver screen into a subversive poetic experiment. This poetry collection is not a retelling of the plot, but rather uses the sharp edge of language to dissect the philosophical core of the historical proposition of "assassinating the Qin"—when swords are deconstructed into ink dots, chessboards collapse into metaphors, and colors alienate into execution grounds, the martial arts epic completes a thrilling reincarnation in line-broken text. Niu Wang Maitian tempers the film's visual symbols into poetic weapons: the ink traces of Can Jian's calligraphy in Brush Kill transform into "the sound of bones cracking through bamboo slips"; Feixue's壮烈 death in red clothes condenses into "cinnabar scabs凝固 on silk"; the Qin palace's black hall collapses into "an iron coffin devouring light". He further reconstructs the essence of assassinating the Qin through three paradoxes: Wuming's宿命 of killing within ten steps is dismantled into "when the dagger reaches the throne before language, the king has already died by his own shadow"; Can Jian's concept of "天下" (All Under Heaven) manifests in the trembling of the pen as the ultimate question of "killing without killing"; and the cracking warp and weft in Chess Language prophesy the trap of historical cycles—when black pieces devour white ones, the spark that burns the classics crawls out from the crevice. The collection achieves genre explosion through three avant-garde poetic techniques: sword moves are compiled into line-broken grammar (long sentences sweep like pikes, short phrases stab like arrowheads), artifacts carry Zen wisdom (broken strings extend into an acoustic canyon贯穿 the poems), and history is reconstructed in liquid form (Qin seal inscriptions collapse into nebulae within ink drops). These explorations allow the martial arts soul to break free from narrative shackles and transform into a poetic vessel for Eastern philosophy. Ultimately, Assassinate the Qin: One Style carves a sharp blade mark on the landscape of contemporary Chinese poetry—it declares: the true assassination of Qin is not a flesh-and-blood struggle, but a rewriting of power narratives with the blood and bones of失败者; when poetry becomes the final weapon, "one style" is an eternal rebellion against all established boundaries.
