Background / History

An Yang becomes a “Chosen One” when his smartphone reveals itself as a gateway to infinite worlds. His first mission sends him to Léon: The Professional, granting him beginner combat, firearms, and English skills, as well as a system of physical attributes, skill points, and item abilities 1 2.

He invests early rewards into combat ability and physical conditioning, then gains Portable Space and Skill Stealing. His travels through supernatural worlds lead him to obtain the Kunlun Art, Cosmos Borrow Law, and Demon Body, establishing cultivation as a central source of his growth 4 6 28 564.

In the Apocalypse World, An Yang builds authority through the Space-Time Force System. He grants retainers power through An-character badges, creates private-army marks, and develops the foundations of a military and political power base 60 91. His influence later expands across the real world through the An Shi system, which combines commercial expansion, intelligence gathering, personnel from other worlds, and concealed armed power 678 679.

His later travels broaden his power beyond cultivation. He becomes a Scholar in the Land of Origin, studies magical and technological systems, receives the Ancient God Scripture, and ultimately gains World Attachment—the ability to establish a permanent connection with a world 654 835 1109.

Personality

An Yang is calm, analytical, and highly adaptive when confronted with unfamiliar worlds or sudden losses of power. Even when placed in Aine’s injured and paralyzed body, he remains focused on gathering information and surviving until his abilities return 596 598.

He is strategic in both power acquisition and governance. He studies the principles behind technology, cultivation, and magic rather than treating them as isolated tools, and he seeks to combine the strengths of different civilizations into a broader system 451 678.

He can also be ruthless. He uses coercive badges to bind retainers, suppresses investigations into officials’ deaths, and is willing to abduct or intimidate powerful figures when protecting those close to him 60 118 556. In contrast, he shows patience and care toward companions such as Xiaochán, the Rabbit Demon, and Xiao Qian 346 706 878.
