Earth [Online]

[Infinite Flow + Single Male Lead + Character Growth + Vast Worldbuilding + Livestreaming]

When humanity thinks, God laughs. Fate itself is God's game.

He Jing was a psychological counselor until he was inexplicably caught up in a murder case. With nowhere else to turn, he made a pact and entered Earth [online] to take the place of the deceased. But in the game, he discovered that human existence and the meaning of life were themselves one enormous game. Everyone was inside Earth Online. Everyone was the protagonist of their own life and an NPC in the lives of others, while also serving as a little white mouse raised by the “mysterious ones.” We are “players,” but hidden among the mysterious ones are buyers. Our lives are turned into livestreams and screened in the game for the mysterious ones to choose from. These “chosen ones” are sent into the central game to fight for survival.

As He Jing cleared one instance after another, he gradually realized that neither his fate nor humanity's future was in his own hands. Losing his closest friends and family time and again, scaling peak after peak, and embarking on one thrilling adventure after another... all of it made He Jing stronger in both mind and body. He swore he would never be a pawn of the “mysterious ones,” nor lose himself in the game. He would master his own fate and become the game's one and only King. He would upend the entire world of the mysterious, fight his way through the whole game, and seize control of his life!

[The male lead starts out very weak and gets bullied, but grows stronger and stronger.]
