Public Enemy: I Look Innocent and Become a Villain?

Li Dan, a recent graduate of a mining university, leads a double life as a low-level office clerk and a web novel writer. Outwardly gentle and refined, he hides a rebellious streak—and, by all measures, he is a complete loser. That all changes when, at a blind date, he is struck dead by a rusted hammer falling from the sky. But death is only the beginning. He is plunged into a brutal survival experiment: an endless cycle of reincarnation within eerie worlds forged by the "Huntian Hammer." Upon awakening, he finds himself wielding that very hammer—a tool capable of absorbing raw emotions. Now a "miner" scavenging across myriad realms, he collects "hatred," "confusion," and "hope" to feed his fracturing soul, all while struggling to evade the hunters from higher dimensions. Yet Li Dan cannot be certain whether his own awakening is merely another, deeper layer of the hammer’s cycle. Nor does he realize that every swing of his hammer to survive is a theft from the "gods'" authority, a disruption of "heaven's" order. Only when he uses this battered tool to pierce through the rules of world after world and shatter dimensional barriers does he glimpse the truth: the celestial pantheons are but constructs within an even grander existence. Raising his rusted hammerhead, he stands for every enslaved, pen-raised soul and hurls the ultimate question at the unknowable "Supreme Being" itself: "Who, then, gets to define the meaning of our existence?"
