Synopsis

My great-grandson burns money for me, and I help him ascend to heaven!

Not a wish-fulfillment novel, or not entirely.

[This is not a rules-based horror story! The rules offer no way out; they're all part of the game and are basically meaningless.]

[Hell money can't be burned without limit. Later on, the protagonist will short the Underworld People's Bank.]

[The protagonist is a scheming old fox with no golden finger.]

[People will bicker among themselves early on; they won't unite until later.]

[It has all the usual national-fate-game pitfalls.]

[No heroine, no CP, no romance.]

[The writing is bad, unbelievably bad. It's a dull account, and the story drags.]

I've listed all the pitfalls up front. If they bother you, read at your own risk. If they don't, give it a try, but don't complain after reading (thanks).

In 2123, the horror world disguised itself as a “national fate game” and began its grand plan to devour Blue Star.

Are rules supreme?

No. The rules are just part of the horror world's sinister fun.

What the horror world never expected was that a young man with a knack for the occult, who had suddenly died, would transmigrate from a hundred years in the past and become an NPC in the first scenario.

Inside a national fate game dungeon.

Song Jun and his randomly selected great-grandson stare at each other.

Then... while the ghost mother is away, he teaches his great-grandson how to make a Bagua convex mirror and hang it over the door.

Ghost Mother: ???

Who else knows what it's like to get flung away from your own front door?

Audience: ???

From then on, Song Jun single-handedly turns his great-grandson into a cheat-level player.

There are no situations where side characters never die, the protagonist instantly becomes invincible, or he can obtain unlimited hell money. The author just likes to nerf the protagonist from time to time.

The protagonist has no golden finger, only access to the strange world that everyone will eventually enter.

Also, there are lots of people who ship characters, so male readers, be warned.

Tomato’s Masterpiece of the Apocalypse Genre: Don’t Recommend Anything Below 9.4

Zombies and natural disasters are both fine, but the self-sacrificing saintly types have to die. The protagonist needs to be smart. No System, and no ridiculous plots where they casually gather billions' worth of supplies and a whole arsenal. That kind of thing is insulting to the reader's intelligence.

The initial style is relatively lighthearted, with few jokes but well-placed laughs. The protagonist's actions are consistently stylish; while other protagonists might be overpowered and say "come at me if you're a brother," Song Jun simply resorts to underhanded tactics when he can't win, using an S-rank contract to his advantage.

Amazing!!! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt 😆 The author said there's no female lead and no male leads! I occasionally read male-oriented novels on Tomato, and I often see authors giving their female characters (you know what I mean) descriptions, which makes me, as a female reader, very uncomfortable. But this one doesn't!!! It's hilarious, the pacing is great, and I have to praise it just for the normal portrayal of women!!! Sisters who are interested can buy it without worry!!! 😘😘😘

Worth reading! Initially, the title made me think it wouldn't be particularly good, and the plot would be cliché, but I was completely hooked from the first chapter. After catching up, I felt great and looked forward to more updates! 1. Song Jun, a pure isekai capitalist. His IQ isn't high, but his mind is incredibly sharp, especially when it comes to exploiting loopholes in the rules.

The book is good, no female lead. In short, it's about Song Jun taking his grandson Song Qi through various levels of gameplay; it's lighthearted and funny, currently without any angst, and hopefully it won't in the future. It's good as it is now; hopefully it will always be without a female lead, but if there is... Well, I can accept it as long as it's reasonable.

The "brain storage" part at the beginning felt a bit redundant. It's very well written; I suggest more updates, kids love it.

The subject matter is very novel. After spending a long time immersed in ghost stories, this work was a pleasant surprise. …I consider this a comedic genre, with zero flaws, but it's worth reading with a critical eye. The author's character development is very three-dimensional, not like the formulaic or even somewhat stale characters found in typical light novels or other genres.

The writing style really improved a lot in the later episodes; many scenes were incredibly emotionally intense, and the plot remained very tight throughout.

It's quite good; I thought it would be a mindless, wish-fulfillment story. I really like the protagonist's attitude towards people from other countries. He's not the kind of character who's completely hopeless, nor is he a saintly figure. It's just that the author hasn't written enough; I hope there will be more updates.

Strictly speaking, this isn't a novel about national destiny; it merely uses the element of national destiny to make sense of illogical interpretations of the concept. Furthermore, the author heeded advice, and there are very few comments about national destiny later on… The plot flows smoothly, so you can read with peace of mind.

It's pretty good. I hope the author keeps it up. It would be best if there were no romance lines. The main character's character is quite good so far. It's just that this is a new book, and there aren't many chapters yet [currently working on the manuscript].
