Lower Moon 4

On a moon where everyone discards their past, some secrets refuse to stay buried. ​Noctis Reach, Level 1313. Amidst the thick acid smog and the ruthless reign of armed cartels, The Garage stands as an anomaly. It is nothing more than a humble scrap yard, and L is just a mechanic who prefers fixing engines over talking. But for the smugler, street kids, hoverbike racers, and bounty hunters who gather there, the grease-scented workshop is a sanctuary. A home. ​No one knows that beneath the lead-lined foundations of The Garage, L has buried a bloody past. He is a remnant of a fallen Order—the former apprentice of a Veilbound who once cloaked himself in black and hunted the assassins of the Imperium Nexus to the very brink of his sanity. ​He swore never to ignite his Arcblade again. He was finally making peace with the light side. ​But peace is a luxury in this galaxy. When a piece of salvaged scrap accidentally transmits a passive signal to the Imperium Nexus network, the shadows L left behind come knocking. An Eclipse Agent descends upon the streets of Noctis Reach, bringing death and ash, hunting for the source of the signal hidden right beneath their feet. ​To protect his new family from slaughter, L must plunge back into the darkness he has fought so hard to avoid. Igniting his weapon means bringing a war to the front doors of The Garage. But if he does nothing, everyone he cares about will perish. ​A single strike of the blade will start it all. The question is: can L end this hunt without losing his soul all over again?

In a land shrouded in mystical aura, where the very air tingles with the power of cultivation, a lone figure walks down a desolate road. Li Wuji, a hunter from the small town of Blue Carp County, finds himself lost in the vast wilderness of the Qianlong Province. He has been on a journey for weeks, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wrongfully imprisoned him in the dreaded Black Temple. As he wanders aimlessly, Li Wuji is drawn into a world of intrigue and danger. He soon discovers that his freedom is short-lived as the Six Sects, the most powerful and feared groups of cultivators on the continent, have set their sights on him. They are after a priceless treasure that he possesses, and will stop at nothing to get it. In his quest for revenge, Li Wuji journeys through the most treacherous places in the land. From the Sunken City, where the souls of the lost haunt the murky waters, to the Twilight Plains, where the shadows come alive and dance in the moonlight. He braves the Shadowy Forest, where the trees whisper secrets and the creatures lurking within are more than mere beasts. He crosses the vast expanse of the Pearl Lake, where the tranquil surface hides a deep and ancient magic. Along the way, Li Wuji encounters fierce creatures like Golden Lion and the Emerald Dragon, and mystic beings like the Moon Bear and the Shadow Lynx. He also meets other sects, some of which offer their aid, while others seek to hinder his progress. As he travels, Li Wuji's story will be whispered among the cultivators and ordinary folk alike. His name evokes a either sense of praise or disgust, for he is the hunter who dared to challenge the Six Sects

"Mother," I opened my eyes. Everything around me is a haze. I gazed at the candlelight. It was wobbling from side to side. I noticed a woman seated near me, but everything was fuzzy. I heard a voice unexpectedly. It was a woman's voice, echoing in my ear. She was singing a low-toned lullaby. "Mother, is it you?" I heard my name, "Maxilin, I am here." "Mother," I said with a tremble in my voice. I have no idea what's wrong with me. I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my reach. "Where are you, mother?" "Oh, my beloved, try to hold me, come here, " "Mother," Maxilin tried to stand up, but he was too weak. Maxi narrowed his eyes in an effort to see her face clearly, but he couldn't because everything was fuzzy. A woman in a white outfit moved in front of his sight. Maxi took a few steps forward while still gripping the chair. "Mother, don't leave," he murmured, dizzily. As he said, he saw in his fuzzy vision that someone had opened the door. "Mother, please don't leave me," Maxilin pleaded. He let go of the chair's hold and dashed behind her. "Mother, don't leave me. Wait." In his frail state, he shouted and followed her. "Huf". In the middle of his path, he stopped. "Mother, you've left me here alone," "Maxi," he heard the voice unexpectedly. Maxi glanced up and looked around. It's all clear now, but he's stuck in the midst of the woods. He gazed up at the sky. A giant moon was staring at him, and a horde of deadly, voracious creatures were roaring around him. "Son," someone touched his shoulder, he looked back, saw a terrifying creature standing in front of him. "Hello, dear."
