Stranger's Handbook - Chapter 8: Magic Master

How long will it take for a murdered thief to distill into something monstrous? In this story the darkness only grows stronger, and its reach only grows wider as it expands by devouring the life that surrounds it. This is a dark fantasy where evil is a where, not just a who that focuses on slow progression, undeath, and atmospheric storytelling.

In the year 2060, a holographic game named Glory descended. Players discovered that the skills and equipment they acquired in the game could be materialized in reality.

Suddenly, everyone went crazy looting for resources in the game.

Chen Feng was one of the players. Moreover, right after he entered the game, he awakened a hidden attribute that everyone would kill to have – Top-tier Luck.

In the Beginners’ Village, all the other players chased behind the chickens in order to hunt them. However, things looked very different for Chen Feng. One by one, the chickens hit him and died. He acquired experience points just by standing still.

When the other players were grinding hard for resources, Chen Feng picked up coins for free as soon as he stepped out of his door.

When the other players were grinding hard in order to collect a good piece of equipment, Chen Feng was already garnered with all kinds of god-tier equipment.

Tired of the schemes and strifes of city life, Bei Feng finally returned to his hometown in the countryside

While picking asters ‘neath the Eastern fence;

My gaze upon the Southern mountain rests;

Rearing a few chickens and ducks, I shall lead a simple and leisurely life!

However, who would have thought that fate would play a huge joke on Bei Feng? All kinds of magical items and beings of the Myriad Worlds could actually be fished out of the Ancient Well in his yard!

Even a chicken reeled out of the well ended up chasing Bei Feng all over the yard and beating him black and blue! Speechless and aggrieved, he asked the Heavens: if, that day, he’d fished out a Dragon instead of a chicken, what would’ve happened to him!
