Chi Yu looked down at his task: "This is a hidden mountain village, and you are a widow whose husband just died. Although you are sad, you still have to feed the pigs."

Side quest (1) — Feed the pigs.

In each instance, Chi Yu was forced to live as a widow. At first, he thought it was just a cruel joke by the game creators. Later, he realized it was the echo of a monster from beneath the abyss, longing for him.

Xiao Huai wakes up to find himself in a bizarre game. Everyone around him feels immense terror, yet he finds it boring and just wants to sleep.... more>>

He doesn’t remember his origins or his past; he only remembers his name. The chosen ones are forced to participate in a horror game, while a group of gods watches them from the outside. These gods can leave messages for them on the system and grant them blessings.

Unfortunately, these gods are nothing like the legends. They prefer to witness bloodshed, violence, and the ugliness of human nature. Countless horror games are merely a means for the gods to pass the time.

Xiao Huai undoubtedly becomes the most interesting presence in all the live streams. <<less

Xia Tianqing transmigrated into an infinite flow novel and was assigned the role of a villain. However, the deceitful book transmigration system that brought her there abandoned her and ran away.... more>>

To survive, she had to follow the rules and play the malicious villain who tripped up the male and female protagonists during challenges and sabotaged their romance. By making players experience negative emotions, she could accumulate villain value to exchange for survival items.

Xia Tianqing smirked: Things are getting interesting.

Entering the script.

In the cold, desolate wilderness filled with graves, the male and female protagonists tightly held hands, encouraging each other while cautiously exploring the environment under the oppressive aura of resentment. Xia Tianqing swept past them like the wind and dashed straight toward the mound exuding the most sinister energy. With a single swing of her shovel, she dug up the boss’s grave, and in an instant, a bloodcurdling wail shook the heavens.

Male protagonist’s heart rate skyrocketed: Thrill Value +100

Female protagonist’s extreme fear: Fear Value +100

Both protagonists’ mental breakdown: Frenzy Value +100

…【You have exchanged for the item: Terrifying Chainsaw】

…The boss wailed at the deafening roar of the chainsaw right in its face.

…【Congratulations on clearing the level. Xia Tianqing has earned the MVP achievement and set a new record for the fastest completion.】

*

A long time later, the book transmigration system finally remembered Xia Tianqing, whom it had left behind, and decided to check on her.

The protagonists followed Xia Tianqing step by step, arguing over who got to accompany her to make chaos. When Xia Tianqing fought the boss, the female protagonist handed her a knife. When Xia Tianqing leaped over a wall, the male protagonist pulled the rope. Their emotional states were fluctuating like a rollercoaster.

System: What the hell is going on?!

The script the system gave Xia Tianqing: Seduce the male protagonist, sow discord in front of the female protagonist, deliberately drag them down during challenges, be a disposable villain and barely survive off the disdain given by the protagonists.

Xia Tianqing’s free-spirited approach: Forget the script, nobody’s escaping! Hype up your emotions and follow my rhythm, challenge bosses under their menacing gaze, and clear with max rewards!

Female protagonist: Who has time for romance? God Qing hates it when romance gets in the way of clearing levels and earning rewards!

Male protagonist: Just keeping up with God Qing’s pace takes all my effort. Stay focused!

System: Do you guys even realize you’ve all become her score-farming tools?! <<less

Su Yuexin was a staff member of the support department of an unlimited flow game.

She spent her work days bringing water, electricity, Wi-Fi, and love (?) to the grateful ghosts who’d stare at her with appreciative eyes. ... more>>

Occasionally, she would also receive other tasks, though the process was always rife with unexpected twists.

When posing as a player, Su Yuexin blended in with a group of players, trembling as she joins their nervous cries of “Ahhh!”

A passing evil ghost enthusiastically greeted her, saying, “Teacher Xin, are you hungry? I have some snacks here. Our boss actually specially prepared this for you!”

Su Yuexin: ‘…?’

When disguised as an NPC, Su Yuexin mingled among a bunch of wailing spirits, wearing a sinister look and screeching alongside them.

A passing high-level player’s eyes lit up and the player thought, ‘What a cute wild monster! I’ll just pick it up and give it a rub…’

Su Yuexin: ‘…???’

The real problem? Not only did he pet her, he even wanted to take her home afterwards!

Su Yuexin clenched her toilet plunger harder than ever.

What on earth did these people want? She was just an ordinary maintenance worker!

In the beginning, Bai He simply assumed that his crush was a newbie player on a special mission.

Later, he thought she might be an overworked and exploited NPC.

That was, until he saw a certain boss cradling a broken router, addressing her with reverence as he called her ‘Teacher’ over and over.

After her parents disappeared, Xiang Ya was left with a huge debt. When she had a headache on how to pay back the money, a job posting was shoved into her door.... more>>

A mysterious website recruits hotel testers and offers extremely high salaries, she only needs to hand in the her accommodation experience and propose a solution at a designated hotel. Her heart moved and submitted a resume, and received an invitation from a hotel that night.

The first hotel was unbelievably popular. There would be elevator full of people going up and down in the middle of the night. There was always a woman who pushed the stroller, walking in the corridors, and sharp-teeth kid would stare at people for candy.

Xiang Ya tried to ignore these unscientific anomalies until she dreamed of a mu*der in her sleep, and three days later, her dream came true. At this moment, she believed that the job she was applying for was somewhat scary.

*****

Crime detective, Zhang Fanyu noticed a strange girl who always appeared at a hotel where a mu*der or an impending death occur.

With great difficulty, he finally caught the suspect in a remote valley.

In the end, the suspect climbed up from a grave with a pair of white bones on her back.

“I’m suspicious” is written all over her.

After resolving another hotel guest’s case, Xiang Ya wants to give it a honorable send off. Just that, right after she pick up the other party’s bones, an outrageously handsome policeman is standing solemnly in front of the grave.

Xiang Ya stared at the muzzle aimed at her, and pointed to the bones on her back: Uncle police officer, I’m intending to help her putting on a new dress, would you believe me?

But Tang Mo Bai couldn’t do any of that. After barely surviving a beginner-level instance and pushing himself to the brink of death, he finally accepted the truth—he was just a naïve and clueless university student.

So, he made a decision…

To surrender himself to the state.

Tang Mo Bai: Wuwu, dear country, I’m weak, please save me!

…

Mysterious disappearances were happening frequently across the nation. A special task force was formed to investigate, yet no progress was made. Just as national experts convened to discuss the issue, a single phone call revealed the true nature of the enigmatic space.

The talismans of the supernatural world? The country mass-produced them.

The black technology of the cyber world? It directly advanced the nation’s AI capabilities.

The causality-defying artifacts of the rule-based world? They secured the country’s international dominance.

While the rest of the world was still competing over limited resources, one nation had quietly and steadily pulled ahead, reaching a level far beyond what any other country could hope to match.

What is it like when your country itself becomes a cheat code?

Tang Mo Bai could answer from personal experience. At first, he wanted to die—his entire two-week stay was spent in relentless training. Combat, acting, persuasion, stealth—he trained with criminal masterminds and special operatives as sparring partners. And when they discovered he could bring personal items with him, they almost armed him to the teeth.

But in the end, it was also reassuring.

Because behind him stood the most powerful force in the world.

And they would always be waiting for him to come home. <<less

【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.

【You are a “dumb beauty,” and your purpose is to please the gods.】

【The god is your lover. You must find him, kiss him, seduce him. But remember one thing: the god is everywhere.】

Lin Qiao looked troubled. Should he act like a playboy or settle for an arranged marriage? Either way… this was going to cost extra.

The system went silent for a long time before responding: 【Fair enough.】

In a horror game, a “dumb beauty” suddenly appeared. NPCs were kind and patient with him, while high-level players carried him around to rack up points.

The other players waited for the “pretty vase” to fail spectacularly and die a tragic death.

Instead, they ran into the beauty in the real world.

From that moment, he began to see the game—and the world—for what they truly were.

A broken branch lying by the roadside?

Ordinary players: "Just a useless stick. Toss it aside!"

Zuo Chengan: "A hidden NPC is offering a feast of rare delicacies."

A suspicious dish placed before the group?

Ordinary players: "Don't touch it! It's probably poisoned!"

Zuo Chengan: "Completely safe. And utterly delicious."

A monstrous creature blocking their path?

Ordinary players: "Terrifying! Avoid it at all costs!"

Zuo Chengan: Silently studies its hidden weakness.

What began as a game to push humanity toward evolution revealed itself to be something far more sinister—a trap, a scheme of ruthless exploitation.

The desperate battles fought in the game's dungeons were nothing but a spectacle, staged for the amusement of another world.

With his all-seeing Eye of Truth, Zuo Chengan ascended through the 12 Heavenly Trials, dismantling the web of lies spun by the false gods. His piercing sight exposed the malicious truths behind the game.

Song Jinyi is a top player in love games. Among players, it is said that as long as Song Jinyi gets involved, there is no NPC he cannot charm, even the top NPCs in the highest-level dungeons have already fallen for him. ... more>>

After a joint event between two zones, players from the horror zone collectively petition for Song Jinyi to come to their area. Following some behind-the-scenes manipulations by big shots from the horror zone, Song Jinyi, who was supposed to enter a love dungeon, accidentally falls into a horror dungeon during a teleport.

Little do they know, Song Jinyi, who seems fearless in the love dungeon, is, in fact, extremely afraid of ghosts. The ghosts are all very interested in Song Jinyi as they want to know who it is that has charmed the top NPCs of the love zone. So they agree to meet at night to see what kind of person Song Jinyi actually is.

Awakened in the middle of the night, Song Jinyi sees a circle of strange monsters surrounding him and, scared to tears, he jumps into the arms of a nearby man. “I’m scared,” Song Jinyi’s voice trembles. The ghosts can’t see Song Jinyi’s face and, wanting to get him away from the man, scatter in fright when he looks up.

Aren’t you really scared of ghosts??? Then why did you jump into the arms of the top NPC in our horror zone!!!
