Full-Time Martial God

Full-Time Martial God is a long web novel by Liulang De Hama, serialized on Qidian from July 2018 and about 1.45 million Chinese characters long. Its core premise: humanity long ago discovered an alien spacecraft whose interior forms a world of its own, known as the "Thirty-Three Heavens"; ancient families involved in the research have entered it for generations to cultivate and explore. To reduce losses among their kin, they developed the game Full-Time Martial God, releasing a mobile version to the public, while advanced players holding a "Martial God Key" can use "character cards" to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens in person. The protagonist, Yu Wenhui, is an urban young man from a computer science background who is connected to the system through an odd mobile phone; guided by his ex-girlfriend Kou Xiaohan, he receives the "White-Robed Scholar" character card and enters the game. An accident in the starter village, Huangjia Village, drags him into a chain quest of "village massacre" and the village chief's trial, and he obtains a reward device that can be brought out of the Thirty-Three Heavens. Thereafter, with the Mukezhai stronghold he builds, he plays different identities in layered instances—the Yangtze River Gang martial-world dungeon, Genghis Khan's historical battlefield, the foreign pantheon of the Sun God Cult, and the final realm of the Xuantian World—collecting character and martial arts cards, bringing abilities gained in the game into real life, and gradually touching the secrets hidden by the ancient families, the development team, and the system itself. The book stitches together martial-arts moves, card-based progression, instance role-play, and urban reality, with a brisk pace and playful language; it is one of the representative works of Liulang De Hama's "wild-idea" style.
