Hostage to All Humanity: From the Start, I Play the Black Blade Great Swordsman

On the vast Blue Star, humanity's rapid development has left resources severely depleted. Just then, a live broadcast from the Forbidden Zone of Another Dimension appeared!

Nations are bound to the participants in an exploration of the forbidden zone. Discover resources, and they will manifest a hundredfold. If a participant dies, the nation's resources are cut in half!

Lin Xuan, who had just activated his role-playing ability, became one of the 200 participants!

When the time came and the forbidden-zone exploration began,

everyone was dumbfounded by Lin Xuan's getup!

"You've got to be kidding! A long robe and cape, a feathered top hat, and that ridiculous black blade? What is this?! Our Dragon Nation's participant is some kind of weirdo cosplayer?!"

"Tom Nation sends its congratulations. Looks like the Dragon Nation is doomed!"

"Wait, the ferocious beasts are eyeing him from all around, and he's going to sleep right there?!"

"He's facing a giant beast over ten meters tall, and you're telling me he pulled out that tiny cross-shaped dagger to be funny... W-wait, you're kidding, right? He just swung it casually, like a basic attack, and that was sword energy?!"
