The story follows Felix, a player who is unexpectedly transported back in time to the period before the game's official server launch. However, instead of returning as a player, he finds himself reincarnated as an NPC within the game. Now functioning with all the traits and systems of an NPC, Felix becomes a legendary figure among players. To them, he is: A mysterious merchant, A dreamlike mentor, An unattainable ideal for countless female players. Within the world of Terra, Felix is more than just an NPC, for he is seen as a spiritual guide, a false priest, a dreamer, a philosopher, a reformer, a philanthropist, a loner, a seeker, an explorer, and a pioneer. "Let the players enjoy the game, and I shall profit from every second they do." Jeston: "I could take two or three punches from Saria, but I wouldn't dare take even one from Felix. Even if God ordered me to, I'd go to war with Him instead." Arturia: "Felix's presence makes me want to perform before him for three days and three nights, without rest." Patriot: "Your ideals... they are reality." MacArthur, a five-star American operator, once remarked: "All it takes is a single move from him, and he'll dominate the entire Terra Daily hot search list. The moment I saw Felix on the battlefield, I knew that there was no turning back."

Note: I do not own this book, this is a translation book. Unknown Hand is an outstanding novelist. His works include Arknights: Iron and Blood, Shadow Martial World, and others. Each book is a masterpiece, every word a pearl. The novels crafted by Unknown Hand are filled with suspenseful, heart-gripping plots, where both the storyline and the prose are of exceptional quality. [It is best to be an Arknights player before reading this book, as it features a large number of characters and plotlines directly tied to Arknights. Readers with a deep understanding of Arknights will have an enhanced reading experience...] ================================ "I am merely a doctor who wishes to perform surgery on this land."

Steven is a total newbie who just got isekai'd into the world of Terra. But before all this, he spent years surviving in the blocky world of Minecraft, living the slow and cautious life of a seasoned Minecrafter. Thanks to that history, he almost got forcefully ejected by Terra's world will the moment he arrived- "Don't just toss me back to the world where even the sun is a square!" In order to survive in this world-where at least the girls have pointy faces instead of square ones-Steven has no choice but to dive into one chaotic event after another, all to raise something called his "World Acknowledgement Point" and earn his stay. This includes, but is not limited to: Fighting infected; Fighting the Church of the Deep; Fighting eldritch horrors from the sea; And, of course... Fending off suspiciously grateful girls with very ungrateful intentions. . . . . . . . . . Gladiia: "Steven, why do you always get yourself involved in those troublesome land-dweller affairs? I find it... intriguing." Steven: "Hey, it's about the experience, you know?" Gladiia: "Then why are you always the one who ends up solving everything?" Steven: "Well, I'm already here, right? May as well go all in..."

Devoted, a hero ventures in pursuit of his ideals. A reluctant pursuer without changing his way of living hoping to reunite with the star that he had parted with. A world unlike his own that is in constant conflict. Stranded with no idea of how to get back home, he can only do his best. His existence catches the eyes of both allies and enemies alike, something that can be considered unlucky. But his luck has always been abnormally unlucky. This is not the first time the superhero has caught himself in such a scenario.

[Arknights x Male Reader story] "There is always light, even in the darkest of places. Extend your hand and march forward, for you see over the horizon, the light that brings forth hope." A helping hand in need is all that he is. A man with no identity. A human who simply goes by facing many different challenges and events every day. Some similar and some different. He also has the luck of attracting a lot of unwanted attention. Did he mention that he's not normal in terms of Terra standards?

Translated from "靛自将息" by Salion Miller, originally published on April 20, 2022. Translator's note: I read Joyce's The Dead a few days ago, which reminds this passage, which is also perfect in describing farewells and pursuits very well. To put this story in simple and easy-to-understand terms, it is essentially a decision about 'to act' or 'not to act.' One can either be content with the status quo, patiently waiting as time etches marks on both body and mind, eventually unable to withstand it and being ground into dust to return to the earth, or one can use their talent and ability to take a gamble, striving to accomplish the unfinished tasks that must be completed. I'd like to use the word I once heard below the original post: "Life is but a fleeting moment, so why not do things that you find meaningful, spending your limited time immersed in endless passion? It's a pity that there are too many attachments in the world. If I had the chance, I would also like to be like Lastwine - seek means in the world, earn a smile from a beloved, gain the satisfaction of my fellows, and find my own carefree joy." Hope you enjoy this passage.

Translated from "半线花火", A passage from Chinese Arknights doujin writer Salion. Originally published March 15th, 2022. Translated by Echoes, the owner of this account. It's a story about an accidental meets and remeets. P.S. The draft had been lying long in my draft folder. However, after a few years' thought, while reading Joyce's novel and learning more about literature (e.g., Dubliners and its structure, etc.), I suddenly realized that this piece itself is great enough, even ignoring its doujin-based background. Hope this passage, and my words, could bring you bravery and warmth.
