Rules Aren't Horror Stories: From the Start, the Weird One Sent Me to Take an Exam

Rule-bound secret realms have descended upon the world. People may stumble into one by accident. If they die, all is lost; if they survive, they receive the realm's rewards.

Xu Changqing has survived countless rule-bound secret realms and, after great hardship, become an S-rank Supernatural. But a companion ambushes him over an SS-rank item, the Void-Piercing Boat, and kills him.

Unexpectedly, he is reborn on the eve of the secret realms' arrival, with everything starting over. Armed with his foreknowledge, Xu Changqing always manages to get ahead by just a little.
