Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

One day, six towers appear on Earth. Each one stands hundreds of stories tall, and are invulnerable to all attacks. At the base of each tower is a portal, welcoming in all who dare enter it. All sorts of magical monsters can be found inside the towers. Even treasure, magic, and superhuman strength can be acquired. The problem is that the towers aren't a friendly place. Even worse, the towers sometimes release waves of monsters to attack Earth. In the year 2083, there are only a hundred survivors. In one last attempt, they challenge the final floor without regard for their lives.

Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Good very short supplement
By advancing the romantic relationship, it’s clear we’re beyond book 2 of the Thousand Li series. Once more we see the offshoots of the intrigues of Chinese society. I like where Tao Wong went with this story. I got it on sale and would never have spent more than $2 for such a short piece, but I’m glad I did. It would be good to label such stories with a sequence position (eg. Book 2.5)

short
not really sure what's going on here, but it was a chapter. I didn't hate it but I don't think it added to my life. I like the series, but I don't see any reason to read this apart from just supporting the author. I listened to it twice.

a fun tiny trip
A fairly fun little trip into a series I love.
I cant wait for the next full book, unlike the full thousand li books, I've decided to knock a point from story.
this is a side thing, well it leaves potential growth, it seems more of a set up for future works.

Cute little preview
While this is later in the journey, likely around the end of book 3, it gives you one fight, a taste for the writing style, and a good reason to start the whole series if you have not already. If you have, this is a cute side story, and you will enjoy it no matter where in the series you currently are.
