You can find the new book. The sapling has just sprouted and is in dire need of everyone’s watering, care, and support!
Without further ado, the game began. The thrilling journey in the world of magic, from a boy to… a man’s legend!
—
In the 40,000th century of Cultivation, a few years after the battle of the ‘Heavenly Palace’, an ancient relic, ended.
Far away from the Pangu Universe, in a distant space zone, in an unknown world, in an ancient and mysterious magical universe, in the middle of countless space folds, there was a boundless continent.
The Sunset Mountains were the most dangerous mountains on the continent named ‘Jade’.
The Fallen Forest was the most dangerous place in the entire Sunset Mountains.
It was said that this place was the boundary between the ‘glorious world’ and the ‘Bloody Demon Sector’. The remnants of the devils who had been defeated in the eternal bloody battles would crawl to the human world from this place, and the scumbags, scumbags, killers, gamblers, and desperate heretics who had pissed off the evil sorcerers of the Glorious Vatican and were hunted down by the bounty hunters and the legions of the Holy Church would flee to this place in a panic. They would find their own kind in the darkness where evil thrived and conspire again.
The most dangerous assassins, the most mysterious swordsmen, the most greedy hunters, and the most evil, the strongest, and the most marvelous sorcerers were gathered in this place.
Every day, every second, countless bloody scenes of slaughter, betrayal, pursuit, and ambush took place.
Countless brave warriors came to this place for their beliefs or their money, only to be buried in this place as dry bones. According to the legends, every tree in this place was piled up with dead bodies, and every leaf was uttering “Wu Wu” sounds when they were blown by the cold wind, which were the never-ending wails of the dead.
And of all the evil mages lurking in the Fallen Forest, Eric the Transfigurator could be called one of the most evil.
As his name suggested, Eric was a specialist in the most mysterious transformation techniques of the nine schools of magic. In order to explore the mysteries of the ancient transformation techniques, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his family, friends, disciples, and everything else in order to experiment on living humans.
At first, he melded a human body with a magical beast. Then he melded a human body with a demonic plant. In the end, he even tried to transform a human being into steel and rock crazily.
Thousands of brutal experiments had been conducted in order to ‘mutate’ the most perfect ‘ultimate body’ in his mind. However, nobody knew what the so-called ‘ultimate body’ was even when he fled to the Sunset Mountains in a hurry as a great sorcerer of the Keitel Empire. Maybe even Eric himself did not know, because it was just a concept that he found in an ancient magical book.
But now, nobody would ever know the secret.
Eric had been pierced through by a shining sword and pinned to a rock. All his magic had been swallowed by the sword and could no longer be transformed into anything.
The bounty on ‘Transformer’ Eric had been shelved in the Hunter’s Guild for half a year. Many people said that nobody would be able to hunt him in the radiation range of Eric’s magical tower in the depths of the Fallen Forest.
But ‘Jack Thunder’ was born for miracles. He was a hunter among hunters.
Three years ago, when he rose to fame like the rising sun, nobody knew where the mysterious young man with black hair and golden eyes came from.
Today, with his unique hair color as his nickname, the name ‘Black Jack’ was well known.
Not to mention that he had slayed 27 criminals on the bounty list of the Hunter’s Association with lightning-like sharp moves, and that he had won 33 matches in a row in the underground arenas affiliated to the Hunter’s Association and set an unprecedented brilliant record. Just by looking at the “harem group” of women around him, one could tell how outstanding this young man was.
Whether it was a princess of the ancient imperium, a female assassin of the underground world, a female captain of a mercenary group, a cat girl with sharp ears and sharp claws… Countless young girls had submitted to Jack Thunder and were loyal to him until death.
He was like a favored son of heaven who was born with the destiny of the entire world of magic. He was destined to create one miracle after another.
It was only natural that Eric, the ‘shapeshifter’, was killed. The best he could do was smile evilly.
And this smile caused the members of the harem group—the female assassins, female orcs, female dragons, female devils, princesses, princesses, female magicians, and female swordsmen—to scream.
Jack Thunder was already used to everything. He scratched his nose and unsheathed his sword from the dead body of the evil sorcerer. Then he strode into the magical tower of the ‘shapeshifters’.
The bounty was not enough to pique his interest, and justice was not his purpose in this place. He only wanted to know what the ‘ultimate body’ that Eric the Shapeshifter studied at all costs was.
Inside the dark and deep magical tower, pungent smells were everywhere. In the middle of the mist, hideous experiment subjects were appearing one after another. Some of them looked like human beings and beetles; some of them had metal armor growing out of their bodies; some of them had even stuffed magical equipment into their bodies to replace their internal organs. The so-called ‘transformation’ was truly cruel black magic.
Most of the experimental subjects were already dead.
Judging from their shabby appearance, they did not look like ‘Ultimate Entities’.
Without him knowing, Jack Thunder had arrived at the core of the magical tower.
In the mist, something was wriggling and moaning.
The members of the harem were all ready for battle. Jack Thunder also raised his sword high.
When the mist cleared, what they saw was beyond their expectations.
It was an extremely complicated rune array, as if hundreds of ordinary rune arrays had been overlapped and painted with the blood of hundreds of devils and powerful demons.
But there was nothing in between the arrays.
No. Not on the ground, but in midair. Four chains dangled down from the sky and tied up a young girl, who was hanging in the air above the array!
“Wuwu, wuwuwu—”
The girl’s mouth was blocked by the animal bone. She found it hard to breathe, and her face was twisted in tears of humiliation.
Despite the embarrassment, there was still nothing that could conceal the shocking beauty of the young girl. Even Jack Thunder, a legendary hunter who could topple half of the billions of young girls of the Jadeite Continent, could not help but be deeply moved by the young girl’s indescribable beauty.
Her beauty was soul-stirring and devastating. Even the glittering crystals on the continent were no match for a drop of tear in the corner of her eye. The infinite brilliance of the Holy City of the Holy See was no match for the smile that had not yet appeared on her face. Even ‘Lake Wald’, the fairyland of the elves that was as bright as a starry night, was no match for her shallow dimples.
In front of her, Jack Thunder’s entire harem was eclipsed. It was as dull and boring as being carved out of wood.
There was no need to mention her figure, which was the complete opposite of her pure appearance and was so popular that even the Queen of Succubi of the Blood Demon Sector was jealous of her.
Jack Thunder was completely dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but step forward and pull out the bone. He asked in a daze, “Who… who is this honorable lady exactly? Is she a princess of a certain country captured by an evil magician?”
“F*ck you, ‘Transformer’ Eric. I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you. How dare you treat me like this? Ahhhhh, I’m going to cut you into pieces, you sick pervert!”
The unparalleled beauty struggled hard and cursed so loudly that the chains were rattling. But what she cursed was in a weird language that even the knowledgeable Jack Thunder had never heard before and had no idea what she was shouting about.
“I’ve never heard of such a princess before. There must be something wrong with her for her to be tied up in this place so carefully. I might as well kill her!”
The members of the harem instinctively sensed the crisis. The female swordswomen, the female beastfolk, and the princesses all glared at the beautiful girl. Many of them even unsheathed their swords and bared their sharp teeth.
The beautiful girl sensed danger and was too scared to curse again.
Jack Thunder’s eyes suddenly turned into glittering red hearts, and he was drooling.
The beautiful girl’s eyelids were twitching, as if she could not bear it any longer.
However, seeing so many aggressive fans waving their weapons, he could not bear it any longer.
“This… this handsome hero, please save me. I am really an innocent girl captured by an evil magician!”
Holding her breath, the beautiful girl stammered in the common language of the Emerald Continent that she was not familiar with, “My name is Han Te… Han Tele… Theresa!”
“Teresa?”
Jack Thunder was fascinated by the rich expression on the girl’s face. He said in a daze, “It is indeed a good name. It’s a pity that even the most beautiful name is not worthy of one billionth of your beauty.”
“Yes. Her name is ‘Teresa’. She is… an innocent, pitiful, and lovely magical girl.
There was a complicated expression on Theresa’s face. She seemed to be regretting her decision, but she was even more desperate than before. Shame was written all over her face as she said, “I was captured by Eric the Shapeshifter and brought to this place. But he hasn’t had the chance to torture me yet. I’m still very… innocent. Please, save me. You don’t know my name, but I can tell that you are a strong, righteous warrior!”

The magical girl, Theresa, sincerely recommends every brave warrior to read the latest book of mine, ‘Energy Coercion’. It’s very, very good. I’m begging you to read it!
