How do you survive when your dorm room becomes a playground?... more>>

In the dormitory building at 8 o'clock at night, the nightlife belonging to the university had just begun.

Suddenly, the lights went out. All universities in the world were plunged into darkness.

"Ding ding ding, dang dang dang"

"Dear classmates, welcome to [Dormitory Survival Game], happy dormitory life begins!" Blood flowed from the sink, the bed tent turned into a different dimension space, and the zombies crashed into the dormitory.

There are countless pairs of peeping eyes outside the door and balcony. Water shortage, food shortage, extreme environment, survival crisis.

"Instructions for students: The highest rule for dormitory survival—"

"First, the living cannot leave the dormitory."

"Second, please protect your dormitory."

"Third, please protect your roommates."

"Fourth, every weekend there will be an update in the global dormitory survival rankings, please work hard to rush into the double first-class, 985, 211*, and strive to be the world's top!"

Furthermore, the immortal world has been completely transformed by a plague!

Jin-ah dedicates her life to caring for her stepmother. ... more>>

One day, a peculiar lawyer pays her a visit, revealing the unfortunate news of her grandmother's passing and his intention to claim the inheritance as per her will.

The stipulation for the inheritance is that Jin-ah must ensure no one enters the mansion she is set to inherit.

Deeming it a manageable task, she agrees, securing the funds needed to make a fresh start.

Everything progresses smoothly—her business thrives, and her relationship with the once-strained stepmother deepens.

However, this harmony is short-lived when her stepmother embezzles funds and disappears.

In the midst of financial turmoil, Jin-ah is approached by strangers expressing a desire to film her grandmother's mansion, seeking her permission.

She rejects their proposal, as it is the only way to continue receiving monthly payments from the trust.

Subsequently, an arrogant and shallow man waves money in front of her, making an audacious proposition.

"With your permission, I'll give you a few more of these. One for every time we film the mansion, how about that?"

After refusing with profanity, Jin-Ah forgot about their existence.

That is until the police contact her, reporting an unauthorized entry into the mansion, resulting in a tragic accident— one dead and four injured.

Upon her arrival at the previously unvisited mansion, the rescuer makes an unsettling declaration.

"No! There's one more down there! There were six of us!”

***

"I understand that you think I'm weird. Until last year, I would have been an as*hole who believed in the money and the power of the family and did whatever the f*ck I wanted.”

It was such a perfect description that Jin-ah didn't need to add anything.

“I guess you could say that Kno-Dearg Manor gave me a new lease on life because I felt the need to change a lot since then."

The man, now an uncannily different person, extended his hand to Jin-ah.

"Consider the old Lan Isford dead.”

***

"I want to eat.”

I want to eat that.

So, I approached and grabbed her.

My stomach churned at the sight of the person looking at me in surprise.

Regardless of whether there were people around or not, I wanted to swallow her whole, leaving not a single strand of hair behind.

I carefully smelled it.

Mine. Something for me to eat.

My tongue, which had been suppressing hunger, eagerly twisted in the mouth filled with something sweet.

But then I found out.

[Infinite Knowledge Quiz]
Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.

It wasn’t until he got injured in a game, looking like he was about to kick the bucket, that Xia Bai unexpectedly emerged. His beautiful eyes gazed sincerely at Ling Jiangye and his tiny Adam’s apple quivered as he discreetly swallowed some saliva.

“May I have your corpse?”

Ling Jiangye: “?”

Xia Bai tilted his head, and behind him, a group of corpses materialized, staring at them with eager eyes. He asked politely once more, “May I have your corpse?”

Ling Jiangye fell silent.

Xia Bai and his companions found themselves locked in the morgue by other players. A ghastly wind rustled the white shrouds covering the room full of corpses.

Companion: “My heart is racing.”

Xia Bai: “Mine too.”

They exchanged a knowing glance. Companion: “On the count of three!—Run!”

“Ahhhh!” The companion sprinted towards the exit, eyes wide with fear.

“Ahhhh!” Xia Bai excitedly dashed towards the corpses, his face flushed with excitement.

“……?”

Xia Bai was thrust into a terrifying game.

System: [Scanning completed. Player’s soul skill is related to corpses.]

Xia Bai, who frequently dug up corpses and treated them as family, shifted his eyes guiltily.

System: [Player shall be known in-game as the Corpse Collector. Your skill is ‘The Living Dead’. We hope you can become a responsible corpse owner.]

As time passed, the number of corpses trailing behind Xia Bai grew. Most were players who had perished in the game. They entrusted their skills and bodies to him, protecting him, accompanying him, unconditionally believing in him. It was then that he truly understood the original intentions and lifelong responsibility of being a corpse driver.

Foolish beings! I could speak at eight months! I greeted my ancestors at a year and a half!
At two, I turned in a wanted criminal on TV with a single word.
At three, my words predicted the eruption of Mount Little Sun!
And that golden mountain decoration in my home that’s yet to be carved? Created by my very words!

I remained silent for the sake of world peace!

The second was forgetting about the first regret.
