Right when Drako Yau, the chairman and game designer of a game company, is about to release the open beta of the game which he has been developing for years, things go awry.

While Shen Huai was still acting in the entertainment industry…... more>>

Anti-fans all over the internet: Flower-vase actors should just get out from the entertainment industry!

Later, he switched tracks to play e-sports instead, and his team’s fan club collectively protested

―― “E-sports do not need flower vases!”

Before the game, Shen Huai said calmly, “This match is mine.”

The audience: Bah! If you win, we’ll eat our keyboards!

After the game, Shen Huai won the award for MVP.

The audience: Keyboards are really tasty! Boss, when will you reactivate your Weibo?

The fans from the fan club: E-sports don’t need flower vases, but husbands are welcome! Hubby, please be sure to come at me from the front!

This is the story of a small movie star who had his career in e-sports delayed by acting, who finally became a big shot in his own right. <<less

One day, gates opened, and the world descended into chaos. At the same time, Sa-yoon found himself face-to-face with a bizarre system window.... more>>

"You have been selected as humanity's 'evil.' (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b"

Forced into the role of a villain and driven to the brink of insanity, Sa-yoon kidnaps Han Geon-joo, the key to escaping the damned system.

"...What's your objective?"

"Recruiting talent?"

"By kidnapping someone? What are you, some kind of gangster guild?"

The trait that could help him break free from the system: 'The Resister.' To activate it, Sa-yoon aims to raise Geon-joo to S-rank while maintaining a close relationship with him...

After lavishing Geon-joo with praise and nurturing him, just as he was on the cusp of reaching S-rank, he vanished without a trace. Eventually, he reappears before Sa-yoon as an S-rank hunter.

"F*ck, what the hell are you doing?"

"You think it's okay to discard people like old shoes?"

Who was the one who abandoned whom first?

"If you want to know what it feels like to crawl on all fours, go ahead and try running away again."

A precarious reunion and ominous signs from the gates. Can Sa-yoon truly break free from the system? <<less

‘Fortunately, there's a solution.’

In this world, a master's talent doesn't limit their summons, and equipment can be augmented. And the class capable of summoning the most powerful allies is…

After the end of the game “D-Rank Hunter’s Regression,” Yeon Seonwoo awakens under a strange ceiling, only to discover he’s been transported into the game itself as a minor, unseen character. Desperate to return to reality, his plans are thwarted when he’s unexpectedly kidnapped by Lee Jehee, the formidable S-Class hunter and protagonist, plagued by insomnia. Jehee seeks Seonwoo’s mentalist skills for relief. But the term ‘help’ is a stretch for the mentally strained Jehee, leading to Seonwoo reluctantly signing a dubious contract as Jehee’s exclusive supporter – or more accurately, a servant. Bound by this agreement and summoned at will, Seonwoo finds himself entangled in a world of intrigue, power, and unpredictable challenges.

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?

Fu Anan thought that it was just a dream, and that she wouldn’t be affected by it once she woke up.

[Board Game Playing Guidelines]
Using magic to break dice or tokens does not result in a draw.... more>>

Hallucination spells are not tolerated during the game. If caught, the consequences are your responsibility.

Asking spirits to peek at opponent’s cards is cheating. If the spirits are not participating in the game, kindly let them watch quietly.

Making noise by ringing a bell with your hand is acceptable. Using a bell to strike your opponent and make noise is not acceptable.

There is absolutely no racial discrimination, but when playing with Dwarves, please check the game board in advance. It may be a ‘special’ board game. <<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

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

[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.
