[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.

The first time Ling Jiangye laid eyes on Xia Bai, all he could see was the captivating absence of his cerebrum. He couldn’t fathom how this man had managed to survive through the horrifying games.... more>>

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.

As his grandfather had once told him, “Miles I shall roam, to send all home.” <<less

After the massive invasion of the escape game, participants encountered a delicate vase of beauty.... more>>

He was afraid of the dark, ghosts, and was delicate, always hiding behind teammates who were tall and burly. Everyone took him for a useless burden, likely to lose his life at any moment.

Until they barely survived to the boss’s enraged phase, facing almost certain death, that vase boldly stood in front of everyone.

He moved unhindered among the ghosts, enticing them into a frenzy of mutual destruction…

He was unlike any mortal; he was like a god. <<less

Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game.... more>>

He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorious.

Before leaving the game, he set two simple goals for himself:

1.Find a job.

2.Be a better person.

The first goal was a cinch. Matching his expertise, Chi Shen effortlessly landed a job as a horror game designer. He joyfully went to work, sneakily slacked off, casually adjusted the company’s feng shui, exorcised spirits for colleagues, and even… occasionally took on the role of proxy head for several prominent spiritual clans.

But the second goal proved challenging. The love from his adoptive parents he once longed for, the recognition from his birth parents, and even the family’s exclusive exorcism techniques – all came pouring in. The imposter, who had once led him to his demise and obstructed his return to the family, was now kneeling, sobbing uncontrollably, begging for his life.

Chi Shen glanced at his birth family’s home, the debts of blood accumulated by the prominent spiritual clan, and the lost souls in the hands of the imposter. With a smile, he retracted his hand, “Do not disturb my daily life. This is your only warning.” Within his shadow, a catastrophic spirit opened its blood-red eyes, gazing at everyone, and slowly unveiled a menacing grin. <<less

Welcome to the grand real-life escape room - Thriller City, where everyone faces the judgment of death.... more>>

Nestled like a beehive, this place is home to countless endless stream players. They frantically grind through infinite copies, earning points in a desperate bid to survive.

Every day, ranking data is announced over the city's skies.

Copy hunting is broadcast live globally.

Pei Yi, a corporate s*ave in massive debt, in pursuit of his salary, stumbles into an old black building, where bizarre events unfold. Cold-blooded zombies fill the building, a woman crawls upside down, and death photographs abound...

At first, nobody had high hopes for Pei Yi - with mediocre education, brawny but often confrontational.

"Really too ordinary, has the vibe of a cannon fodder."

"Nothing to his name but a handsome face."

The whole world waited for his downfall -

Pei Yi, with a warm smile: "Heh."

Later, Pei Yi's name dominated all endless stream leaderboards, his name plastered on screens worldwide. Countless players looked up in awe as

a sweet mechanical female voice announced: "Thriller S City's 740th newcomer champion, Pei Yi, with an S++++ perfect performance in Black Tower Horror. Enjoy seven days of continuous screen display! Congratulations, Pei Yi."

The entire endless stream world thought they were welcoming just another prey, but they later realized -

He was their savior, the only one who could slay gods, a fallen angel, their deity. <<less

In the year 2060, the holographic game “Gods' Descent” swept the world, and a group of enigmatic higher-dimensional beings calling themselves [Priests] descended from the sky, trapping 2.5 billion players in the game.... more>>

Human players have a slim chance of survival if they win the game, but if they lose, it means death for everyone.

Just waking up from the hospital, You Rongyi is unwittingly drawn into this game showdown.

Starting at Game Level Lv.1 with an ordinary player talent (F), with physical and mental abilities that were severely damaged, everyone believed he would die instantly upon entering the game.

However, to their surprise, they witnessed You Rongyi’s calm and skillful maneuvers in the first dungeon, obliterating the B-grade boss monster effortlessly and nearly killing the top guild player, “Blood Chef.”

Everyone watching, including the monitoring agency and teammates, were left in shock and confusion.

At first, they thought You Rongyi was just lucky, but soon they realized the entire “Gods' Descent” holographic universe seemed to resonate with him.

The explosion of cyber fragments was just a background for his coronation; he was a weapon forged by death, an existence that all humans fanatically worshiped –

The first player on the server, “Traitor.”

—

Throughout his life, You Rongyi made decisive decisions and had few regrets, but there were two things he regretted in this lifetime.

The first was the kiss he shared with Qi Bing under the apple tree when they were young.

The second was forgetting about the first regret.

—

The in-game world draws inspiration from Egyptian and Greek mythologies, while the real-world setting adopts a cyberpunk framework.

Xu Xingzhi had penned in his original novella:... more>>

Over the mountains and across the seas, there was a posse of villains. They were clever and cute, they were peculiar and bizarre, they were diligent and conscientious, and they were planning a jailbreak.

And then, he transmigrated into this dramatic narrative.

The World commanded: Your presence has disrupted the balance of this world. You have to eliminate the villain boss who intends to break out of this cage and take over the world.

Xu Xingzhi replied: Sorry, I’m just a salted fish.

The World: Don’t worry, the villain is the shidi that you personally doted on throughout his childhood who hangs onto each and every one of your words.

Xu Xingzhi: . . . I never wrote such a character setting.

Boss with a gentle face: Shixiong, do you prefer this golden chain or this silver one? Take your time to choose, I’ll listen to whatever you say.

Xu Xingzhi: . . . I really never wrote such a character setting.

This milieu was all as you desired. <<less

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”

Song Ci, “It, it’s all a misunderstanding……” <<less

A 300-year-old 'ghost bride' who unexpectedly entered into an unwanted spirit wedding with an 8-year-old baby, Lucian.

The Repentance of an Evil Disciple: My Master Was too Delicious... more>>

Ten thousand years ago, there was once a sword cultivator named Lord Yunzhen. He caught hold of a little sword spirit with outstanding talent.

Filled with joy, he became a master for the first time, assiduously raising his disciple. He could be called the very model of the profession, so dedicated that it was a little weird.

His disciple found his master so sweet and delicious that his heart turned black, and he became the lord of all demons.

***

The process: all sorts of exhilarating thrills that can’t be described in Jinjiang Literature City.

The result: My account got deleted, and I had to start over.

***

Ten thousand years later, Lu Yunzhen was a broke college student studying computer science. He met a terrifying high-level demon with outstanding talent, who wanted to take him as a master, and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Mo Changkong swore, “I’ll listen to everything you say.”
Mo Changkong was a practiced salesman. “I can slay monsters and demons.”
Mo Changkong guaranteed, “I’d never lust after Master’s beauty.”

Lu Yunzhen believed him!

Then one day, he recovered his memories, and realized his disciple wasn’t a loyal hound, but a possessive freak.

Lu Yunzhen: “???”

Mo Changkong: “Sorry, no returns allowed.”

This is the story of a loving master and loyal disciple, who stay that way so long as they’re not in bed. They fight monsters shoulder to shoulder, protect the public, and become heroes of the nation. In bed, well, that’s a different story—pillows and sheets go flying, and they quarrel as lovers do.

Lu Yunzhen: I love the world, it’s happy endings no matter where you go.

Mo Changkong: Master and I are the world. <<less

“What are you talking about now…?!”

“Your servant’s wife.”

“She is also the wife of a subordinate whom she cherishes the most.”

“Wh-What…?!”

“Have you heard of my rumors?”

Camilla smiled and took a step closer.

Oh crap! My desires are being exposed!
