[1. Necromancer's Experimental Notes: (False dnd)]
A necromancer who thirsted for knowledge walked on the path of forbidden knowledge with a long-winded dead head. He never stopped and never looked back.
Evil schemes, deadly tricks, the collision of wars, the temptation of demons, all of them were revolving under the gears of fate, causing him to be deeply trapped.
A hero of justice, a strong heart, a kind help, a heroic sacrifice, and the dazzling brilliance of humanity. How would a mage who studied death choose between good and evil?
It was a story of encounter, adventure, and growth.
"How are you going to affect the world? You are just a speck of dust in the tide of history."
PS: This book has no system, no level, the protagonist does not transmigrate, the combat and spell system mainly draws on the rules of the fifth edition of the dnd, but there are a lot of magical changes and village rules for the world background.

The seemingly calm continent was actually filled with undercurrents. Although the smoke of war had dissipated for a long time, this was not necessarily the foundation of a new wave.

The sky was the chessboard and the earth was the chess piece, jumping out of the three realms and five elements.
Lead condensed true mercury dragon and tiger appeared, thousands of tribulations refined into an immortal body.

Be the best in the world!
According to the records, those who wanted to cultivate needed a spirit vein, and this spirit vein was the prerequisite for everything.
The spiritual vein is strange and treacherous, and its source cannot be investigated.
Whether or not it all depended on whether the ancestral grave was emitting green smoke. For this reason, Xu Qing specially went to Black Water Town. He saw green smoke curling up from his ancestral grave, and clouds pervaded the air.
He couldn't help but exclaim. The records in this book were indeed true!
9."I Live Forever in the Fantasy World": Don't stop, the world is going to die.
For a thousand years, he resisted the fate written by the gods.

The only thing you need to remember is that you still have a soul in this long journey.

"The Archery God of the Great Han Dynasty" was an unforgettable novel. Zhuang Buzhou's works, a series of books from the Three Kingdoms to the Han Dynasty, made people feel as if they were in the Han Dynasty. The characters were vividly portrayed and did not fall into the cliché. It was fascinating. Especially the description of the main character. He was a military god, and Su Du was comparable to Li Guang and Huo Qubing. The story was very reasonable and had a beginning and an end. It made people feel the glory of the Han Dynasty and the weight of history. Although some of the plots were depressing, the protagonist always maintained his identity as an assistant minister and did not turn against the emperor. The readers could get inspiration from the book and think about their own lives and emotions. Old Zhuang's book was definitely worth reading!

Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' can be regarded as such a novel. There are long passages of characters' inner thoughts and observations of the ordinary. The journey to the lighthouse, which seems like a simple event, is actually a vehicle for exploring complex family dynamics, time, and the nature of art. And 'The End of the Affair' by Graham Greene also falls into this category. It's about a love affair, but not in a melodramatic way. The story unfolds through the mundane details of the characters' lives, making the exploration of love, faith, and jealousy all the more poignant.
Yes, often in traditional bedtime stories not much really 'happens' in a sense of high - action or complex plot twists. They are usually simple tales meant to soothe and relax a child before sleep, like a story about a little rabbit going to bed in its burrow.
It could lead to a cliffhanger ending or set the stage for a new beginning. Maybe the characters have to face unexpected challenges or find alternative paths.
You can start by exaggerating small details or creating fictional characters to add some spice. Use humor in your descriptions and make the mundane seem extraordinary.
A 'best nothing happens novel' can be defined as one where there's no grand adventure or huge plot - twisting events. It focuses more on the internal world of the characters, like their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. For example, in 'The Solitude of Prime Numbers', the story unfolds slowly, mainly revolving around the two main characters' personal struggles and their connection, without any big external events driving the plot.
The reason bedtime stories often seem uneventful is that their primary function is to soothe the child's mind. If there were a lot of high - stakes action, like in an adventure movie, it would be counterproductive for sleep. For example, if a story was about a battle or a race against time, it might get the child's heart pumping and their mind racing. But a story about a sleepy turtle slowly making its way to its shell for the night is much more conducive to relaxation and sleep.
