Horror game + irreverent humor + a protagonist who lives for the fun of it + building his own power base + no romance
Twenty years ago, the horror game descended upon Blue Star!
Su Bai, the protagonist, was accidentally pulled into the game.
And so began a wondrous journey!
On the Death Bus, everyone else treads carefully, afraid of angering the ghosts. Su Bai has already become a train attendant.
In the Lost-and-Found dungeon, while everyone else is still being chased down, Su Bai is enjoying life with skewers in one hand and beer in the other!
At the Clown Carnival, while everyone else runs around in terror, he presses a hammer to the clown's head and negotiates in a friendly manner:
“Hand over the emotional damages, damn it! Or I'll kill you!”
At last, Su Bai pulls out a hammer stained with divine blood and writes on the mottled wall of a temple, “Su Bai was here!”
Then he looks at the trembling ghosts below the steps, utterly confused. He was only playing a game! How did he become the Evil God they're always talking about?
So he pulls out his “prized possession,” expertly enters the next dungeon, and gets ready to reason things out with them!
