Death Stares at Me, but I Can See the Odds in Supernatural Tales

On the subway ride home after working overtime, Jiang Che suddenly saw blood-red numbers appear before his eyes, visible only to him: 99.9%.

System prompt: That was his probability of death.

The passengers in the carriage had no faces. The old woman across from him asked, "How many people got off?" At the end of the corridor, a bride in red waited for him to say her name.

This wasn't a paranormal incident. It was a rules-based horror game.

Don't speak, don't ask, don't look back, don't look in the mirror. Break any one of the rules, and you die.

Jiang Che thought getting the System was a golden finger. Only later did he realize that everything this lousy System showed him was a dead end.

Until one day, the number before his eyes changed to 0%.

He looked up at the bride in red before him and finally understood one thing:

In a world ruled by rules, the one who survives isn't the strongest, but the one who understands the rules best.
