Growing up with eccentric materialist parents, who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew, when one day at midnight, time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

Since childhood, Gu Wuji regularly encountered ghosts. One day, he was dragged into an infinite world of terror. But as a result….
I treat you guys as evil spirits, but all of you want to hug my thigh?


A Crowd of Evil Spirit Lines up to Confess to Me

Yu Xiao, a terminal stage cancer patient with an incurable condition, had reached a point where she had accepted her fate. Living each day with indifference, she had already made peace with the idea of departing from this world.
One day, her phone automatically downloaded an app called ‘Four Hospital Patients’ Discussion Forum’.
“Four Hospital? Isn’t that the local psychiatric hospital?”
Curious, she tapped into the app. The top post read: 【Guide for the Morgue】
Yu Xiao:???
Second post: 【Cataloguing the Ghosts I’ve Encountered Over the Years】
Yu Xiao: No wonder it’s a forum from a psychiatric hospital.
【Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Sealing Master!】 This one seems quite intriguing!
———— That night, terror descended, and the hospital was engulfed in a crimson hue. Unnameable horrors lurked outside the wards, murmuring by the rooms, “Let’s see who’s been naughty now?”
————
During rounds that night, the inspection ghost lifted Yu Xiao’s blanket and stumbled upon the talismans by her pillow. The ghost was amazed to find high-level symbols.
The inspection ghost cried, “Why would advanced seals appear at a beginner’s level?!”

She had a long talk with Mr. Ogre and actively solved his troubles about the work meals;
She had a drink with a high-risk mental patient, and fights against workplace bullying;

…
The bosses were grateful and said, “We have identified our sister-in-law!”
The young urban beauty Rong Yi: Where does this sister-in-law come from? !
Little Boyfriend: [Little Penguin blushes and scratches his head.jpg] Ah, that, this is my workplace. They called me big brother.

And so, he became a beast of burden for this family for nearly thirty years. By the time he was almost fifty, he had no house, no car, no savings, no wife, and no children. Even the so-called family affection turned out to be fake. In the end, his death was just as inexplicable.
He never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he would return to the time right after graduating from high school and become a permanent NPC in an infinite world!

[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?
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.

After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Bai Lixin was caught in a strange game.
[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.]

[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

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 amusement 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.

Dawn Break is a massively popular apocalyptic survival game where players passionately battle, compete, fight with zombies and monsters, and manufacture equipment and weapons.

Before long, a legend was born. He was the record holder for the lowest combat power in the game, but he was the richest merchant in the new world, and moreover… a savior.

A Very Simple Survival Game

Koushun Takami’s notorious high-octane thriller envisions a nightmare scenario: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where, as part of a ruthless authoritarian program, they are provided arms and forced to kill until only one survivor is left standing. Criticized as violet exploitation when first published in Japan—where it became a runaway best seller—Battle Royale is a Lord of the Flies for the 21st century, a potent allegory of what it means to be young and (barely) alive in a dog-eat-dog world.

[I agree, I don’t think he’s a bad person.]

But later, everyone flocked to the Weibo accounts of the people Ruan Qing had insulted: [You can’t even afford grapes, but you dare to eat steak. Do you still have any humanity?] 
People who were inexplicably insulted: “??? Are you crazy?”
If you discover a serial killer knocking on your door, about to break in within a few minutes, what would you do? If it were any other host, the audience would probably be excited and want to see various ways they would die. 
But if it were Ruan Qing… 
[Don’t open the door, Ruan Qing! Please don’t open the door! Run away quickly!!!]
Ruan Qing took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighbor across the hall (another serial killer), “Hello, your food delivery has arrived. Can you please open the door and pick it up?”
