He gathers not gold, but the reverberations of ten thousand bells—each stolen secret a chime in the void. He fights not with steel, but with simulations. He seeks not power, but understanding. To covet power is to drink poison from a jade cup. He thirsts instead for the marrow of dao: the way a crane’s wing cleaves moonlight, how a single brushstroke births mountains in empty silk. He is the shadow in the library. Ghost in the archives. Inkblot in the dojo’s lamplight. He is the Murim Thief, and the world's secrets tremble before him. (Cultivation/LitRPG/Progression Fantasy)     Core Conflict & Stakes:   - Unique Mechanic: A "simulation core" lets Dan replay fights like a gamer, mastering techniques through trial and error—but each failure costs lifespans glowing like dying embers in his dantian.     - Moral Grayness: He’ll betray, bargain, or bleed to claim knowledge, even if it means allying with demonic cultivators or triggering sect wars.     Video Game Inventory: Stolen manuals, cursed blades, and elixirs fill a pocket realm—no "weight limit" tropes.      - Augmented Reality Combat: Simulate opponents’ moves, predict betrayals, or replay a sect leader’s duel 1,000 times until perfection.      - Qi-Sense UI: Visualize cultivation realms as storm tiers—Mid Foundation = thunderclouds, Peak Earth = hurricanes.
