Rule Horror: I Can Rewind Infinitely

My name is Chen Fan, and I'm an ordinary librarian.

Last night, after eating that piece of "braised pork," I was literally stuffed to death by "Mom," smiling all the while.

Then I opened my eyes and found myself back before dinner.

This is my power, and my curse: Desperate Rewind.

I can see the bizarre deaths of my teammates every time they break a rule. I can remember the human hearts, more terrifying than monsters, lurking beneath every hypocritical face.

In this bloody game, I die again and again, starting over each time, all to find the one path to survival.

But little by little, I realize something is wrong.

Why can I reload a save?

Where did these "rules" come from?

Who, exactly, is the one running this game?

When my analysis reaches 100%, and I finally touch the source of the rules, I understand...

I'm not a player. Every one of us... is just an NPC in this enormous prison.

And my ability to reload is the only BUG in this "world."

So it's time to let this "game" see what a BUG can do.
