“Everything that sparkles is mine.”... more>>

It’s been 10 years since I took on the role of Gemma, a jewel-stealing thief in a game with extreme difficulty.

Today, I was doing the stealing that the system told me to do to avoid a bad ending…

“Gotcha.”

“Huh?”

I was caught by Inspector Raven Hunt, the investigator who was persistently pursuing me.

[Enter the bad ending route.]

‘System! Give me one more chance!’

However, it was not the system that gave me a chance to live, but the enemy.

“You choose. Prison or marriage?”

* * *

My fake marriage to the man who arrested me…

“We’re divorcing as soon as we get that damn ruby back.”

“I’m already looking forward to that day.”

We are just together to find the missing ruby…

“Our child. The responsibility is mine and yours together. So don’t think about running away again.”

The man who seemed to be disgusted by the idea of having fur on him raised my cat with me.

“The only jewel I want is my wife Gemma.”

He began to say things that made my heart flutter.

“Raven, if you do this, I will report you.”

“Marriage registration.”

I… Maybe I didn’t steal the jewels I was told to steal, but I stole this man’s heart? <<less

I’ve reincarnated as the reverse harem game’s villainess, the one and only adopted daughter of the ducal Eckart family.... more>>

But the difficulty just has to be the worst!

Everything I do will only lead me to death.

I must be paired with one of the main male characters from the heroine’s harem before the ‘real daughter’ of the duke family appears!

Two older brothers who always pick a fight with me on every little thing.

The insane crown prince whose route will always lead to my death.

‘I only see the heroine and no one else’s wizard, and also her loyal s*ave knight, too!

‘First, let’s take some of them which I see no hope in, out of the list!’

“I didn’t know my place up until now. From now on, I’ll live as quiet as a mouse so you wouldn’t care the slightest bit!

But why do their interests in me keep on rising every time I draw the line?! <<less

—— A stairwell that doesn't let you leave until you reveal its history.

In the 23rd century, the struggle between life and death was being played out worldwide.

People blessed with "good luck" were forced to wander through mysterious dilemmas and pay attention to its rules.

"—— Don't disturb the driver while driving."

"—— Don't push the lift button at random."

"—— Don't pile up your rubbish in the stairwell."

"—— Don't make a lot of noise in the library."

But all changed when someone finally noticed that amid all the recent spirit shenanigans, a person in a pink hoodie consistently strung out.

Xu Jin Yi, who had a sizable collection of single-player horror-themed RPGs, was pleasantly delighted to discover that several of them had been upgraded to a VR version.

Using VR's default avatar with a pink hoodie, Xu Jin Yi relied on her bountiful experience to beat bosses, break puzzles, and tease NPCs.

There was only one obstacle she couldn't beat.

NPC: "... I don't know your name yet, pink hoodie."

Xu Jin Yi hesitantly entered her ID: "... YourRealDaddy24K?"

You have become one of the unlucky ones who became involved in an unlimited game.... more>>

The corpses overflowing with blood at the beginning is the system’s warning to you.

The numb mechanical voice in your ear tells you the rules of the game. The system says that those who don’t follow the rules will be punished.

All NPCS stare at you with hypocritical smiles.

Looking at the fearful and desperate players 1, 2, 3, and 4 around you, what you think in your heart is—

Chi Ting: I can actually see so many human beings, and they are all alive!

Don’t ask. The answer was that he liked it here! He liked it very much!

---

The first time everyone saw Chi Ting, they thought he was a completely good person. He was gentle and approachable, responsive to every request, and radiated kindness to those around him. However, in the world of unlimited games, this type of person often became cannon fodder with the most miserable deaths.

This was until they saw Chi Ting wrapping a string of beads around his hand and mercilessly crushing the monster’s throat.

There was a new legend in the unlimited world.

Some people said that Chi Ting was an unattainable belief, and they desperately wanted to follow him.

Some people said that Chi Ting was a blood-stained devil. They hated him so much that they wanted to destroy him.

However, there was no doubt that in this world full of rules, it was the ‘gods’ who could play with the rules.

—Please follow the rules of the game.

—What if I don’t? <<less

Wu Jin, as a trainee from a certain entertainment company, had a peerless, stunning face. He was qualified to debut as a lead performer even if he just sat there and did nothing.... more>>

After signing up for a certain talent show, the shining path to stardom beckoned to him––

Wu Jin: Hold on, why is this show different from what we agreed on? Wasn’t it supposed to be about jumping around, dancing, and singing songs? Why do you have to send me out into the wilderness…

Program Producer: You’re a once-in-a-century high appearance value competitor! We’re relying on you to save the program’s ratings!

Wu Jin: … I seem to be on the wrong show. Wait a minute, this isn’t an idol show, it’s a fighting survival reality show ahhh!!

Ten months later, the little cutie who had been thrown into the show––

Turned into a human weapon.

Powering up through various instances, slight entertainment circle elements.

Ge Xiu is a nefarious star criminal.

In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand slam, leaving countless fans feeling regretful and saddened.... more>>

During the same year, the KID base’s mecha mechanic had his team doctor qualification revoked for violating league rules. The base’s owner had no choice but to release a recruitment announcement, which instantly sparked a heated debate within the league.

“What? Hiring? How much is the salary?”

“As we all know, KID is very poor. Don’t bother applying.”

“There are so few mechanics, yet you offer this salary. Are you taking us as fools?”

Before long, the KID base actually recruited a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that obscured his face and loose long sleeves, revealing faint glimmers of cold light from intricate mechanical hand within his sleeve. He appeared frail and delicate, more like a vase than a mecha mechanic.

“Is his right hand a prosthetic? Mechanical hand? Are you kidding me? Can it be accurate?”

“I doubt he can even lift an outer armor plate.”

Two years later, the Mecha Alliance underwent restructuring, requiring the team doctors of the alliance’s base teams to participate in battles. The KID club submitted its roster, and there was a new ID on the list—[sink].

The people in the league then realized that KID not only recruited a mechanic but also one with explosive combat power.

Ying Chenlin was reborn and returned to his genetically mutated 18-year-old self.

During that year, he had just won the first grand slam of the Mecha Alliance, following his heart and pursuing his dreams relentlessly. However, two years later, he suffered from genetic backlash, leaving him disabled in half of his body, leading a life confined to a wheelchair.

In his most difficult years, it was KID’s boss who took him in, giving him a chance, teaching him a new profession, and pulling him out of the abyss. Starting anew, he turned down offers from various bases, resolutely retired before his body deteriorated further, and applied to become a mecha mechanic at the KID base.

Repaying the debt, recovering his health, starting over again—he had experienced the pinnacle, and even if he was full of scars, he was determined to reach the summit once more.

PS:

1. This story is about growth, strength, and coolness. It involves character development and progression with more focus on career and team growth than on romance.

2. The protagonist goes from being a mecha pilot to a versatile and composed mecha mechanic with unknown attributes and fighting abilities (Upstream).

Still, water once spilled can’t be recovered again.

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

Ning Su’s hair is soft, his skin is pale, his expression is slightly sluggish, his body is thin, and he is out of place in the crowd of passers-by.... more>>

He listened to the people around him discussing how to clear the level of this dungeon, and asked: “I survived the level, does it count as clearing the level?”

The people around looked at him like a fool: What a pity.

After entering the dungeon, Ning Su really started to live a life of his own.

If there is a gloomy skull on the castle, Ning Su will pick it up and make it into a night light to sleep beautifully.

The waterfall turned into blood, and he took the stew in a small milk pot, his eyes shining brightly.

Occasionally, he will also make small clothes for ghosts crawling on the ground.

Later, he really survived, the NPCs are sticky to him, the ghost master followed him and called him ‘mother’, and he still had the bloody heart of the flower god in his chest.

“…”

For Ning Su, there is food and drink in the infinite horror world, which is much more wonderful than his previous life.

He lived in the doomsday era and used to be a supernatural being, but his supernatural power is different. He is a special dark supernatural being who can absorb all dark things.

The person in charge of the base asked him to purify the zombies and sent him to the zombie group.

He turned into a little dark zombie.

Humans did not like him, all dark beings loved him. <<less

Shen Dongqing was a powerful, thousand-year-old ferocious ghost. He had just possessed a body and barely managed to relax for two days when he was pulled into a world where hundreds of ghosts were running amok.... more>>

On the first day of being pulled into the Infinite Nightmare Game:

Other players were trembling, crying and wailing about wanting to go home.

Shen Dongqing was eating, sleeping, and playing Fight the Landlord (card game).

The second day:

Other players were covering their heads and scurrying away like frightened rats as they were being chased by ghosts, and they were crying out loud for help.

Shen Dongqing was eating, sleeping and playing Fight the Landlord.

The third day.

Shen Dongqing……

The ghosts finally set their sights on this lazy player. The other players were finding joy in his misfortune, but in the end, no one had expected that the slim and pale Shen Dongqing would throw down his phone and directly dispatch the ghosts with his bare hands.

Other ghosts: Can’t afford to mess with him, move, move. <<less

“Welcome to Apocalypse Cub Raising Game” ... more>>

Shen Cheng downloaded a game called “The Last Survivor.”

The protagonist is a pitiful little man with broken hands and feet, dying alone amid a pile of corpses. Shen Cheng really couldn’t stand it anymore. “Isn’t it six yuans! Who hasn’t spent game money before?” Then one six yuan, two six yuan, and lots and lots of six yuans!

While Shen Cheng was cursing and scolding herself that she will never spend money on game coins anymore, the protagonist of the game gradually ascended to the peak of the Apocalypse.

When she woke up one day, she actually appeared next to the little character’s bed?

Forceful dog game, game coins harms me!

Cheng Zhi Chu was pulled into an infinite stream of horror games. If he didn’t clear them, he would die.... more>>

But can someone tell him why others clear the games using violence and force but his method of clearing the game is by kissing the boss?!

Cheng Zhi Chu: I am a straight man. Even if I kill myself or am killed by monsters, I will not kiss the boss!

Boss: Be good. Kiss me and I’ll let you go.

Bai Yi had been trapped in the game for many years.

Rather than exploding in anger in the silence, he had turned crazy. And so…….he split himself. His soul was broken into many pieces and each of them became the boss in the games.

But, regardless of how the soul was split, from the beginning to the end there was one thing that didn’t change —–He, likes Cheng Zhi Chu.

Every fragment of his soul was utterly in love with him.

It was also because of this that he and every fragment of his couldn’t stand seeing people other than himself getting close to Cheng Zhi Chu —- Even if the other party used to be a part of himself.

Dark desire gradually surged inside him.

Anyone who gets between him and Cheng Zhi Chu——even if it’s himself —– he would kill them all.

“The person who you should really kiss……is me.” <<less

Chi Nan was the young man in one of the Top 10 forbidden paintings, the Crying Boy. It was said that he would bring disaster, so his memories were sealed and his soul was locked in the painting.... more>>

One day, Chi Nan entered the body of a blind young master who died accidentally. The young master was the owner of this forbidden painting. However, Chi Nan had stayed in the painting for a long time. He lost the happiness and sadness of human beings. The only emotion he could show on his face was: tears.

Chi Nan made three wishes to the gods: regain his vision, stop crying and get his memories back.

Thus, he was invited into the world of terror, the Nightmare Cycle. Break the nightmares to gain points and grant his wishes.

Ordinary players: Ahhh, it is terrible! I want to wake up!

Meanwhile, Chi Nan moved through the nightmares, grabbing small skeletons at the crane machine in the amus**ent park at midnight, building ice sculptures with corpses in a snowy country’s mass grave and dancing with a fierce ghost in a life-threatening waltz until dawn.

The dreams were really good. There were endless games, ghosts who tried to amuse him and a mysterious boss who sent him good medicine every day.

Chi Nan cried happily but when he cried, the ghosts of the world trembled.

***

The owner of the body was called You Yu and he suspected that he didn’t die accidentally. In order to understand the truth behind his death and be reborn in his body, he sold his soul to the world called the ‘Nightmare Cycle.’ He became the dream maker behind the scenes, conscientiously creating dreams of terror.

He didn’t expect that he would meet his body in the infinite nightmare he created with his own hands. The user of the body was a bigshot who loved to shed tears. This person was diligent in going through the instances to earn points and restore vision for him.

Thus, You Yu secretly added the sweetest honey to medicine and sent it to Chi Nan at midnight every day. So why did the little crybaby cry again after drinking it? <<less

I stand on the precipice of my final regression, and I swear, 'This time, I will conquer it. I will emerge victorious.'

I'm no longer the insignificant shuttle that I once was. Today, I shed my former self, the one who had reached the pinnacle of power. Today, I am reborn for the last time as Black Scythe, a rookie player, a novice that once again will be become the Grim Reaper! <<less
