【Welcome to the Peculiar Games】... more>>

【Once you pass Instances, you can obtain everything you want—wealth, authority, health...anything】

In the thirty-sixth year of the Peculiar Game's descent into the world, Qi Si was pulled into an instance.

Grey fog and yellow clouds blanketed the sky, demons and monsters roamed the streets, withered trees rose from the ground, and piles of skeletons and rotting flesh littered the landscape.

This is not reality; morality and conscience hold no sway here. This is not chaos, for there are inviolable laws and rules.

Qi Si investigated these rules closely, uncovering numerous loopholes to exploit.

——

The rules feed on the gods, and the gods use all beings as sacrifices.

The Peculiar Games is a snare, with the eerie resurgence as its medium.

Beneath the cold, austere veil lies unspeakable horror.

Unwilling to be bound by fate, Si Qi broke free from his shackles.

He tore apart morality, dancing alone on the borders of black and white; he defied the rules and built his own throne.

In this world, he is not a god, yet the Peculiar Games has long prepared a divine seat for him, welcoming him with a feast of death.

TL's note:

Instances, sometimes known as dungeons, are environments in games to which players can travel in order to encounter various enemies, bosses often included. (Giant Bomb, 2024) <<less

The thousand-year-old ghost Ren Li has always been the final boss in the last level of the escape game “Dream Control”. But one day, he suddenly became a player, breaking his way through with humans.... more>>

In the game dungeon, Ren Li educates various bosses, slaps players who have bad intentions, and blinds everyone with various simple actions.

But… there is always a person, no matter how cruel Ren Li is, he will remain unmoved, and even dare to hold him and act like a baby.

That person is Pei Jingling.

*

Pei Jingling acting like a baby: “Brother Li, gimme hug.”

Ren Li immediately had black lines on his face: “You stand up straight for me, don’t rush on me! Don’t you have bones?”

Pei Jingling became more desperate: “I still want a kiss…”

“Shameless…” Ren Li scolded him fiercely and embraced the person tightly in his arms, “Come, kiss me.” <<less

1. Yan Wei entered a black tower that disappeared into the clouds and accidentally entered a world inside the tower that was filled with all sorts of instances.... more>>

In the instances, there were puppets leaning over to kiss a statue, paintings of people without eyes, a pale and dishevelled female ghost with a mouth filled with blood….

Each floor was a level; if you don’t enter, you die. Only those who reach the top can live.

After Yan Wei thoroughly understood the rules, he found that he had a skill called “Half Immortal” —- As long as he was in an instance, he would acquire an immortal body every second day.

2. Yan Mingguang who was ascending the tower took off his glasses and held a cigarette as he leaned against the wall watching the young man not far away slowly approach the boss.
The young man was calm and composed. With one hand in his pocket, he used his other hand to grab the boss’s hand and carefully examined it. His clear voice carried nonchalance: “Don’t move. Let me see what clues you have on you……Hey, stop struggling. You can’t kill me anyway……..”

The clock ticked past midnight——–

The young man’s calm expression changed immediately. He looked at the boss with eyes filled with fear and turned and ran towards him.
Seeing that the boss was now charging over, Yan Mingguang tossed his cigarette aside, frowned and said coldly: “Let go.”
The young man clung tightly onto him: “No! Save me!!!”
“Not saving.”
The young man’s eyes brightened: “Thank you!!”
Yan Mingguang who found that he had already crushed the boss’s head, “……..”

3. One day, while the instance was being broadcasted.
The players who were watching the broadcast found that the thigh-hugging, weak and useless player Yan Wei had suddenly appeared before the boss all the other players were trying to avoid.
The audience: “??? Is he in a hurry to die??”
The next moment, the young man chased after the boss, shouting, “Stop running, I won’t be too mean!!”
The boss’s face was filled with panic, the audience’s faces were filled with confusion.
This was different from what they had in mind?

Jingchen, an eminent monk selected by the system to join the game, is young but has experienced nine reincarnations.... more>>

System: Mage, you may be involved in many killings in the future, and you may also lose your life. You won’t blame me, will you?

Jingchen closed his eyes and smiled lightly: How could it be? It's not too late to thank you. This is a good opportunity to accumulate merit. Please be sure to let this poor monk participate, Amitabha.

System: Master is worthy of being a master!!

As a result, soon after the game started, the evil ghost was directly purified by him, his teammates were saved by him, and a large number of players felt at ease because of his Buddhism.

Until he met an evil god—

The evil god sitting high on the throne held his jaw with one hand, his face was handsome and cold, and his voice made people's ears numb: Monk, where do you come from?

Jingchen: This poor monk came from Xinshou Village to ask the god to raise his noble hand.

The evil god smiled lazily, stepped down from the throne, held Jingchen's chin and slowly came closer, with a bewitching light in his eyes: Ok, but everything has a price, and this price... is you. <<less

Lu Qingjia, once a slag provoked someone who he shouldn’t have. With great difficulty he saved his dog life, on the premise he would never appear before the other.... more>>

He entered a horror game and unexpectedly they had a chance encounter.

The man in front, a resentful bloody ghost crawling out of a closet to his back rushing towards him to take his life.

The situation was life threatening. Naturally, he didn’t have time for hypocrisy.

Lu Qingjia stepped forward and pulled out the ghost slowly crawling its way and yelled: “Why the f*ck are you so slow? With your sluggish and foolish manner you won’t even be able to eat sh*t while it’s hot and you still want to eat people”. Then, he hid inside the closet and refused to come out.

Ghost: ……?

The next time they met, the person said towards him: “Either come out or just sleep in the well together with that water ghost in your arms.”

Lu Qingjia; “This isn’t a matter of self esteem, it’s just that we hit it off, I want to chat with him all night and let him feel the long-lost warmth”

Water ghost: ？？？Don't touch Laozi! <<less

The Rule of the Ghost Story descended upon the world.
Everyone had the chance to be dragged into a bizarre game and experience life and death.
...Everyone wanted to live.
Unfortunately, Xu Siyan, who had drawn a special talent, found that the Rule of the Ghost Story was also a torment even if he didn’t die.
...Until he met Quan Zhenghao, a mad dog who treated the Rule of the Ghost Story as a game.

A mad dog top who loved playing thrilling games more than his life X a bottom who had died too many times and was tired of living.

If Ke Xun could do it again, he would have never left his house to go out and flirt with guys, even if it would mean getting beaten to death.... more>>

Weren’t they supposed to have just been taking shelter from the rain in a museum and looking at some erot*c paintings while they were at it? Why…did they enter the world inside a painting?!

Mu Yiran: Every single one of us is acting out a role in the painting.

Ke Xun’s eyes lit up: How do we get into an erot*c painting?

Mu Yiran gave him a long, drawn-out look: Shut your eyes and lie down. <<less

Tragically, Shan Ziwei was hit by a car, and when he woke up, two hundred years had passed. Even more tragically, he still had his strange variant of hypersexuality.... more>>

“I’m very sorry, but we are unable to cure you.”

“W-wait! Even AIDS can be cured now, how come hypersexuality can’t?”

“Ha… haha…”

There was no other choice, Shan Ziwei could only return to his old job of being a quiet, peaceful gamer. Though, the games nowadays were a bit… strange…

[System: Dear player, you must stay in character, adhering to what is described in the following scenarios.]

Scenario 1: You like to shake hands with strangers.

Scenario 2: You like to hug friends.

Scenario 3: You’re a bottom.

Scenario 4: You’re a bottom.

Scenario 5: Important things should be said twice.

Shan Ziwei: … How am I meant to play a game like this?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ <<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.

As a corporate s*ave, Zhou Qian is relentlessly exploited by his unscrupulous boss during the day, pressured by his parents to marry at night, and berated by his night school teacher on weekends for his perceived lack of intelligence.... more>>

On the day Zhou Qian was pulled into the infinite game, he breathed a sigh of relief: Finally.
Goodbye, marriage-pushing maniacs;
Goodbye, 996 (the Chinese work culture of 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week);
Goodbye, damn night school.
Tonight, he’s setting sail!

In the first instance of his journey, Zhou Qian boards a terrifying bus with a group of players.
When the bus reaches its destination, Zhou Qian is shocked to see his mother.
“My precious son, did you think running away from home would help you avoid blind dates?” She grins: “Impossible.”
Soon, a terrifying monster NPC is thrown onto Zhou Qian's bed—his new blind date!

In the second instance, the eerie high-rise, Zhou Qian spots his boss among the players.
Shiny high-end leather shoes stomp on a monster’s head, and his boss strides towards Zhou Qian amidst the players' horrified gazes.

“Why did you disappear during overtime?”
“I heard that people who die here also die outside. Are you trying to cheat us out of death benefits?”
“Is the project plan done or not? I’m asking you, is it done or not?!”

In the subsequent instance, his boss slaughters all the monsters, and Zhou Qian burns the midnight oil working 996.

In the third instance, the endless (bloody) sea of learning, with a 90% death rate, Zhou Qian, who had skipped many classes, encounters his night school teacher.
“Qian, come to the teacher,” says the man with a pale face, extending his hand.

“!”
Zhou Qian abandons any thought of continuing his journey and retreats behind his teammates.
But as soon as he approaches, his teammates instinctively step back, creating a gap between them.

“?” Why does it seem like they’re more afraid of me?

Three years ago, a strange fog drifted through the city. Since then, Zhou Qian noticed that some people around him seemed abnormal.
Later, when he got pulled into the infinite game, all the players cursed the cunning, cruel, and terrifying NPCs.
Only Zhou Qian sighed with genuine relief:
“Finally, normal people.”

Yet everyone else looked at him with unspeakable expressions and nodded: “Yes, you’re the most normal.”

Outwardly honest and modest, but actually stunningly handsome and highly intelligent, the beautiful shou vs. the madman who’s consistently insane, the heretic gong. <<less

Other people’s escape games:
“Run!”
“AHH, I’M GOING TO DIE!”
“Help! Help!”... more>>

Gu Yian’s escape games:
The BOSS pets her head: “Be good, let’s watch the show together.”
Gu Yian: “???”
The BOSS smiles lightly: “Listen, their screams bring people such joy.”

In front of them, several players were either screaming or blindly running.

Gu Yian: “……” So, am I winning without doing anything?

In an era when holographic films are popular, the World Youth Championship's recurve bow archery champion, Ji Dong, saw a strange thriller trailer in the cinema.... more>>

After the movie was over, the maglev rail he was riding in was involved in a bridge accident.

When Ji Dong opened his eyes again, he found himself in the thriller world of the movie trailer he had just seen. What’s more, he has to do everything he can to survive before the playback bar reaches 100% progress.

Fortunately, he has a strong heart, and even though he is only a novice village player, he dares to participate at the top level.

Traveling around this strange world, even if you can’t win, you can at least bluff. No matter what you encounter, you are not afraid!

…Just this friend, what’s the matter with you?

As a horror film player, you are so delicate and weak that you vomit blood and faint at every turn, but you are handsome and beautiful, and you are also very charming…

Lin Huai personally thinks that he is just an ordinary college school student. He likes science, he likes life, he likes people, and he is also really stubborn about using novels and TV series to make up for his common sense.... more>>

Apart from being a ghost in a dry well, who has devoured all the other ghosts in the city, and possessed the cold body of a college student, there’s nothing special about him.

Now, he just wants to live a peaceful life with some occasional small events.

Until he found out that the doors of the apartment he was supposed to rent were locked. On the long table in the lobby, there was a note that said: “There is a ghost among you, if you want to survive, you must find out who it is.”

Lin Huai: ? I really just wanted to rent a house.

“Little newbie, don’t be afraid.” A hand was placed on his weak and helpless shoulder, “I will protect you.”

Then, the guy called Chu Tianshu gave him a hearty smile.

“I’ll help you hammer that ghost.”

Lin Huai: (Softly smiles) ……Can I hammer you first?

Later, Lin Huai tried hard to prevent the ghost who was screaming and struggling to escape from him and used his shoulders to knock on the door with difficulty.

“Help! It’s escapi- ……No I mean it’s chasing after meee!” <<less

The players were randomly selected by a being who calls himself "God". I was suddenly selected one day while watching a strange live broadcast of players from other countries competing against each other.

Qin Fei’s greatest talent is manipulating people. With just a few words, he can make the dead seem alive and white appear black. One day, he accidentally enters a live broadcast of rule-based ghost stories.... more>>

At his best friend’s memorial service, Bai Yan almost burst out laughing and got beaten to death.... more>>

Along the way, Bai Yan’s fits of laughter turned into ones of anger. His joy quickly turned to sorrow as he met his punishment that night.

He curiously opened the app that he had never seen before on his phone and was suddenly pulled into a terrifying world of reincarnation…

An infinite stream of horror flowed into his mind, ominous descriptions, breakthroughs, and storylines. <<less

There are many types of NPCs, including: black NPCs responsible for executing players, white NPCs who stand by and watch, and an unlucky clue NPC which is specifically responsible for providing clues with their deaths.... more>>

Players want to kill clue NPCs to get key information.The dungeon boss also wants to kill the clue NPC to obtain crucial items to become stronger.

Unfortunately, as soon as Mu Sheng entered the horror game, he played the role of this kind of brainless clue NPC.

As soon as the system enters the game: 【It is recommended that the player behaves low-key and changes their cannon fodder character to increase their chances of survival】

Mu Sheng curiously asks: 【How much can it increase?】

System: 【According to calculations, from 0% to 0.1%】

Mu Sheng: “What’s the difference?”

System: 【Die a little slower】

Mu Sheng: “…”

Players of the horror game find that the NPCs in this dungeon seem somewhat abnormal.

When a player violates the rules and the black NPC has mutated and is about to execute the player—

Footsteps approach.

It’s the ordinary NPC that players have been paying attention to since entering the dungeon:

Bad-tempered and not very bright, except for that face that seems useless but inexplicably captivating.

The monster suddenly stops moving, its appearance changing from horror to normal in an instant.

It turns its head, its appearance returning to handsome: “Sheng Sheng, why did you come over?”

The “ordinary NPC” Mu Sheng speaks naturally and imperiously, asking, “What was the commotion just now?”

Behind Mu Sheng, the black NPC reveals a terrifying appearance again.

But its answer to Mu Sheng is still gentle: “Of course… nothing happened at all.”

It stares coldly at the players, with undisguised killing intent and threat in its eyes.

Players suddenly remember a rule in the horror game that hasn’t been relevant for a long time:

Ordinary NPCs shouldn’t be aware that they’re in a strange dungeon, or they will collapse and then disappear.

This is probably a story about a clue NPC who wants to survive and be happy, so he tries to maintain his character as an ordinary NPC to blend in and eventually become the darling of the crowd (of ghosts).

Upcoming dungeons:

【The arrogant and insolent follower who Flatters superiors, bullies subordinates, trying to have the best of both worlds】

【Having a cold big brother above, a rebellious little brother below, a cold and violent boyfriend, and a semi-blind and cowardly bottom with occasional eye problems】

While others are scurrying about for items, she is leisurely having her beauty sleep.

Qian Yue, “What’s the hurry, didn’t it say you can clear this instance by living for 10 days.”

Her teammates, “….” You are hopeless!

Later on, for a certain instance, the game called for a restriction of slacking off—
