A gothic novel is a subgenre of fiction that originated in the 18th century and quickly gained popularity. It is characterized by its dark, mysterious, and often supernatural elements, creating an atmosphere of suspense and terror. With a focus on the macabre, gothic novels often feature haunted castles, eerie landscapes, and tormented protagonists. One of the most renowned gothic novels of all time is "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. Published in 1818, this classic work delves into the themes of scientific ambition, mortality, and the consequences of playing god.

This iconic tale follows Count Dracula, a vampire from Transylvania, as he attempts to spread his curse in Victorian England. Stoker's mastery of suspense and his vivid depiction of the undead have placed "Dracula" at the forefront of vampire literature.

As a transmigrator, Blueze's greatest cheat is not the ability to replicate all beings, but the ability to acquire a relative power template simply by introducing a film of a specific genre. The most notable characteristic of these templates is that they have a limited lifespan, and all abilities loaded onto the template can be seamlessly fused together. Imagine combining the Sting from The Lord of the Rings, the Kryptonian physique from Superman, the exponential growth of Ant-Man, the enhanced rage of the Hulk, the super-speed of the Flash, and the regenerative speed of Wolverine. All superheroes would be nothing compared to the strongest being in this world, which is undoubtedly me! PS: Uralala's small group on QQ has been created. Feeling cute and adorable
