Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

"She was a demon to begin with, how could she possibly be corrupted by encountering me, a human? Critics always talk about ludicrous things." In 1798, during an interview with the press, Cardinal Bishop Lanci was asked about his past with the exiled last princess of the Demon Race, as well as recent signs of the resurrection of the demons. He stated: "I have made too many efforts to defend world peace, I am quite sure, there is absolutely no possibility for the Demon Race to revive under her leadership." ...... In the winter of 1802, the revival of the Demon Race succeeded. [Based on the above information, please indicate who is the main culprit leading to the revival of the Demon Race, and explain why it is Lanci. (10 points)] —— excerpt from "Classic Examination Questions in Empire History."

Demi-human Girls Completion Manual

This is a century glittering with the brilliance of human civilization, a world where steam engines, magic, and demi-humans coexist, a chapter of complaints committed due to exploration. 'Red Dragon Queen rises first, annihilating all human affairs with her wrathful flames.' 'The mysterious child of the sea will raise great waves to erase the sins of humanity.' 'The god of the skies will leave no refuge for the remnants, nowhere to belong.' 'The immortal witch composes epitaphs for them with her magic.' 'And I, will write a new chapter for this world' ... ... ... ... Years later, Fisher, who has received the apocalyptic prophecy and the miraculous tool called the Demi-Human Girls' Completion Manual, wishes to be recognized as a pioneer in demi-human academia, a savior of human civilization, a dove of peace, and a messiah. Instead of being the person who is torn apart with the firewood knife, and the savior divided into pieces.

Welcome to Hell’s Game.

Forgot to make a review lol. The rarity itself would bump this ff up to a full 5-star, but that would be kinda fake. The thought of finding a way to use guns of Fallen of Human makings is kind of dumb because the Hive gets their version of guns later on, but because the MC does not know about the Destinyverse (I think it should be called Bungieverse?) makes it logical that he is comfortable with human guns. The writing is fine. The story goes at a comfortable pace for me. Updates have stopped for some time, don't remember why.

This is an interesting novel with a lot of dept to it. It is more than it seems and seems to parody societies flaws and paint a warning of the good and bad within human nature. I enjoyed it, although the reason is because I can sorta relate to the characters. It is like sushi, this book and writing style is an acquired taste.

An easy-to-understand book like Guns, Germs, and Steel?

😋I recommend the following books for you who like cold weapons and war novels: The Three History Swordsmen in Tang Dynasty tells the story of the Kuiper people who were awakened after the apocalypse on Earth and came to Tang. The plot is very exciting. The Global Ice Age portrays the world view of the frozen animals on the planet, and the struggle between Dongku and the beasts is exciting. Although the Sykes Empire is about war, it pays great attention to shaping the characters and has a deep discussion of human nature. I hope you like my recommendation.😗

I recommend a few novels: " The King of the Net: The Annihilator of Lihai University ", a light novel written by the ordinary Bell, and a derivative doujinshi novel. The main character was an extermination master. His transmigration to the world of the Net King had caused many changes, such as the three consecutive tyrants of the entire country, as well as plots such as the character's blackening. " The Beginning Became a Test Body ", a sci-fi novel written by a useless treasure. Ji Ming was unlucky enough to become a slave after transmigrating to the wasteland world. When the system came, he became a test subject. He was the male protagonist and had all kinds of interesting settings. This book was a slow hit. It was the author's new book," The Beginning of Magic." It was not popular at the moment and was also slowly updated. From Mountain Thieves to the Emperor of Heaven was a fantasy novel written by the feudal lords. Xu Boju had transmigrated into the second generation of the Mountain Thieves. He was facing internal and external problems, and he wanted to break out of this situation. There was also the female protagonist, Li Qingman. This book had many creative styles. " The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder " was a mystery detective novel written by an entertaining young lady. The female protagonist Ruo Shui was super strong and funny. She quickly crossed all kinds of worlds and made all kinds of funny things. The content was very happy. " I've Shamed My Rebirth ", an urban, youthful, and campus novel written by the Heartless Coin-Swallowing Machine. She talked about the daily life of high school. She didn't act pretentious and slap her face. She had two female leads. Her style was unique and she felt very immersive. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Cartoon germs are often exaggerated and simplified for visual effect. Real germs are much smaller and more complex.

Starting from a lone hero, the debt is at its peak.

Some people said that his novels and scripts were wonderful and that the world's famous works were nothing compared to them. Some people said that his composition and lyrics were top-notch, and even a dog standing on the stage could take off. Hearing this, Su Yuan only smiled knowingly. There was no such thing as a top class cultural figure in this world. There was only a diligent cultural porter who was heavily in debt. The story began with a lone hero…

When An Xizi and Xu Xingyi met for the first time as neighbors, Xu Xingyi spoke with confidence and confidence. He did not have the cold and aloof demeanor of a person on stage. … An Xizi sat lazily and charmingly by the table with her chin in her hands. She looked very much like the cold and sick beauty in the ancient painting. After Xu Xingyi talked to himself for more than half an hour, he finally couldn't help but interrupt him. "No, my hometown is Hangzhou. If you don't understand me, you can go to Baidu." Xu Xingyi replied with a smile on his face. Then, he deliberately added,"You can also ask me directly." An Xizi retracted his gaze that looked like he was looking at a retard. When he lowered his gaze, his lips curled up in a mocking manner." Since you're not from Dunhuang, why are you so stubborn?" Xu Xinyi was speechless.
