Bai Lixin was caught in a strange game.... more>>

[Ding! Welcome players to the immersive escape game.]
[Ding! Let’s begin the luck detection. The luck will be linked to the player’s copy selection.]
As the other players’ tests were A,B,B..the detection system slowly pulsed on Bai liXin’s head.

[Ding! Congratulations player; your luck is F-, and the universe deems you unlucky!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the player. You have obtained the special title – “God of Bad Luck” (unique).]
Bai Lixin: “???”

Congratulations? Where’s the joy in that?

Soon after, the players trapped in the escape game found that there was an incredibly beautiful but tragic player in the game.

The face is unbelievable, the strength is unbeatable, but the luck is so bad that the copy he gets either has a bug or is a horror S level.

Just when everyone thought that the little beauty would certainly die, he broke through countless levels and embarked on the road to immortality.

Bai Lixin, the full-level boss, mistakenly strayed into a strange game to find his husband.

Later, he found that his old attacker had become all kinds of bosses in the copy and these big bosses were most often not human.

A water body, the true ancestor of the vampire clan, an undead knight, a dragon….

Well, he had to admit that each had its own advantages <<less

After four years, He Yiming finally became a Sect Master, activated the sect system, and received sign-in rewards!... more>>

The system summoned the souls of humans from Earth, reshaped their bodies, and  made them disciples of the sect!

With that, the sect's style of operation drastically changed!

Even though they couldn’t even kill the monsters in the novice village head, they just had to do a su*cide attack to defeat it. That, and a whole lot of shenanigans as they innovate the world of cultivation! <<less

This story is fiction. The characters, ideas, and events in the work are unrelated to reality.... more>>

Some games require agreeing to this statement in order to play.

Even if it's not necessary for the game, the game typically begins with a similar disclaimer guiding the player through the precautions.

Although the advantage of a game is the 'immersion' that no other medium can match, starting with such a statement disrupts the immersion from the beginning despite everyone knowing the work is fiction.

There is no mandatory need to include such a disclaimer, so why do it?

It is likely to emphasize a fact that everyone should always remember.

[The purpose of fiction is not to dictate beliefs existing in reality.]

This message is for the developer themselves.

[Nothing in fiction can replace reality.]

This message is for the players who will share the journey of the work's story.

So.

Do you agree?

The man with tattered clothes and an old sword said, "So, I *can* kill."

He did not have any particularly memorable appearance.

He was likely not a well-known person, at least, not to the mercenary he was killing.

The important fact was that the man who had been stabbed by the worn-out sword was now dying in front of him.

"Ugh..."

When the man pulled the sword out of the mercenary, the mercenary's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He no longer had the strength to resist.

He wanted to raise his arm to swing his sword, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He gritted his teeth and wanted to cast a spell, but he lacked the focus to do so.

"Why... you... how?"

Thus, the mercenary chose to give up on resisting and opened his mouth to speak.

Why had the man suddenly attacked him? He had only seen him collapse and moved him to a nearby cave.

What kind of person, what kind of thoughts had led him to do this as soon as he woke up?

The mercenary was so curious that he asked the question.

"How fascinating."

The man stroked his chin as he stared at the dying mercenary.

The sight of the man in his worn-out clothes pondering was somewhat terrifying.

Soon, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man broke his silence.

"I never knew I could attack an NPC. Is that how the game is made?"

"...What?"

The mercenary couldn't understand the man's words.

NPC, not knowing an attack would work, game. He couldn't make sense of any of the words the man said.

Having spent his whole life living as a mercenary according to his "setting," he could never understand what the man was saying.

'No, you must respond properly. Properly—'

But he couldn't continue his next words or even think about the meaning of his response, and the mercenary's consciousness began to fade.

A killing driven by nothing but curiosity, with no reason.

That was the first death experienced by NPC Aiden Oliver. <<less

Billions of humans have descended on the Boundless Continent to become the Lord of the Citadel and participate in a fair and equitable race for supremacy.... more>>

At the beginning of the landing, each Citadel Lord would randomly receive an Initial Barrack.

The first thing to do was to recruit soldiers, plunder resources, build a dynasty and compete for supremacy over all races!

Lin Yi was surprised to find out.

The one he received at random was the unique Military Barrack - the [Angel Reincarnation Pool]!

Angels could be bred!

"Haha, mine is an Advanced Troop Type building that can summon Forest Elves!"

"Mine is a Top Tier Troop Building, capable of summoning Dark Dragons with ultimate potential to reach the Holy Rank!!!"

"I can summon Golden Behemoths ......"

Looking at these self-bragging messages, Lin Yi couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

His angels, holy beings, unique soldiers!

The weakest of the twin-winged Angel, in its full form, was also of demigod level.

The most powerful of all, the eighteen-winged Archangel, was even a terrifying existence of the Lord God level!

As soon as the Angel Legion comes out, who can compete with them?

Believe in the Lord, and you shall have eternal life! <<less

Having spent four years immersing myself in a game devoid of dreams or aspirations, clocking in twenty thousand hours, I suddenly find myself thrust into the shoes of a character within its confines. It's an unjust twist of fate, made worse by the abrupt demand to face the gallows in a mere three days.... more>>

The reason? Simply put, the original inhabitant of this vessel was nothing more than a discarded miscreant, shunned even by their own kin.

"This is utterly unjust. To be forcibly thrown into this predicament is grievous enough. Are they suggesting my fate will be sealed upon arrival?"

In a world I've never triumphed in,
a world teetering on the brink of oblivion, I vow to endure by any means necessary.
By any means necessary. <<less

Ning Shu had dropped dead. But in a burst of good fortune, she became a task-taker in charge of counterattacking for the pitiful cannon fodders. Thus, Ning Shu, in one world after another, took... more>> all kinds of life roles and encountered all kinds of “you’re heartless, you’re ruthless, you’re making trouble for no reason” people. She encountered all sorts of white lotus flowers, green tea b*tches, scheming b*tches, by the batch.

“Does any true beauty still exist in the world?!” Bellowed Ning Shu angrily. “You annoying tr*sh! I’m just here to counterattack, please don’t get in the way of me completing my task.” Transmigration main character, reincarnation main character. There’s only a lazy task-taker, no indestructible main character halo. Ning Shu had no choice, but to painfully gather moral integrity in each of the worlds. <<less

Before the return of spiritual energy and the awakening of all races, Ye Xuan died on the battlefield and unexpectedly returned to twenty years ago.... more>>

At this moment, before the returned of spiritual energy, the future lofty Red Lotus Empress was still just a simple and helpless little girl.
Ye Xuan seized the opportunity, deceiving the yet-to-awaken school beauty and deskmate Empress to become his wife, holding her in the palm of his hand, spoiling her to the skies!

A month later, when the spiritual energy returned, the school beauty awakened an SSS-class talent, skyrocketing to fame!

Passerby: You have SSS-grade talent, Ye Xuan is not worthy of you!
Red Lotus Empress: Get lost! Ye Xuan is my man, whoever touches him dies! <<less

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called "Destiny" was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game... Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

"I'm familiar with this."

Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent... No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

"A Tang Sword is not used like this."

"Protecting teammates? Not necessary."

"Isn't it enough to eliminate all the enemies?"

...

In the world of "Destiny," a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end...

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can't hit a single shot, earning him the title of the "Master of Human Outline Drawing."

Yang Yunchen, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

"Why need ranged weapons when I'm here?"

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like "Eternal Punishment," "Apex Legends," "Overwatch," and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn't follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

TN:

Title: The phrase "磨刀不误砍菜弓[电竞]" in Chinese is an idiomatic expression commonly used in the context of eSports. It translates to "Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the cutting of vegetables with the bow [eSports]."

This phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of preparation and practice in esports. It means that even though it is essential to hone your skills and improve your strategies, it should not hinder you from taking immediate action and engaging in competitive gaming. Just like sharpening a knife is necessary for efficient cutting, training and preparation are crucial in esports, but they should not become an excuse for procrastination or hesitation. It highlights the balance between preparation and execution in the world of competitive gaming. <<less
