Searching for My Moonlight in a Death Game

[Infinite flow + imaginative, mildly spooky + light brain-teasing + team + ensemble cast + romance]

Have you heard of the Tower of Judgment?

Li Zhi has congenital heart disease. In her twenty-five years of life, she has endured twenty-five years of torment.

After finally dying from her heart condition, Li Zhi thought she was free. Then she turned around and saw a man in white with the word “System” written on him.

The System cackled at her. Li Zhi just wanted to run as fast as she could.

Li Zhi: “Thanks, but no. Are you here to take me to the underworld?”

System: “No. I'm here to invite you to hell.”

Li Zhi: “...Polite, but not by much.”

In this deadly game, players must endure endless brain-teasers and hunts just to barely make it out alive.

Every time they win a bloody game, they get a chance to see someone they miss. Is this a blessing, or endless torment?

As players face increasingly deranged game NPCs, Li Zhi leads her squad in sweeping through the instances and charging straight for the final boss.

A brash, white-haired young man asks, “How did you even survive?”

A former star, cool on the outside but sweet inside, answers with a straight face, “Li Zhi killed the NPC.”

The squad members scream in unison: “Who did what to whom?!”

Li Zhi: (smiling) “Killed them! Ask again and I'll turn you all into gerbils.”

Her teammates: “You're incredible. Everyone else is trying to figure out how to survive, and you just killed them.”

Meanwhile, the unrequited love who watches Li Zhi grow closer to someone else sniffles quietly:

“My dear Lychee, do you still remember me by Daming Lake?”
