The Only Player in the Extraordinary World

The Great Zhou Dynasty has independently developed a thriving steam-powered industry under the reign of its emperor and the administrative oversight of the Grand Secretariat. Neo-Confucianism flourishes, dominating all other schools of thought and social classes. When Chen Zide transmigrates into this powerful empire, he discovers that supernatural beings lurk in its shadowy corners. His unique existence is confirmed when a system prompt appears before him: "Chen Zide has issued you a quest. Do you accept?" Puzzled by the notion of assigning quests to himself, he chooses to accept. Completing these self-generated tasks grants him experience points, skill proficiency, and analysis points. By analyzing mysterious artifacts, he unlocks various supernatural pathways, including foundational mystical linguistics, introductory talisman combat arts, secret recipes for special papermaking, and spirit mediumship. This story follows a progression system centered on accumulating proficiency points to master extraordinary abilities.
