[Infinite Flow + criminal investigation + livestreaming + progression + ensemble cast + no saintly characters + System + two powerful leads]
In terrifying scenarios where survival is a matter of life and death, some gain personal skills and rise to the top, while others meet their end in some obscure corner of the world.
In this world where strength and opportunity go hand in hand, Pei Nanyi applies to enter the scenarios to investigate the truth behind her sister’s death.
Additional details:
1. The world in this book is an Infinite Game that anyone can apply to join, so players and game masters do not need to hide their identities.
2. The story includes not only challenges in the scenarios but also some real-world events. Its themes are Infinite Flow and modern urban criminal investigation.
3. The worldbuilding is expansive, but the protagonist will never be made to feel like a “newbie” by suddenly encountering people far stronger than herself after she has grown powerful.
(More details to come.)
Scenario One: The Haunted Opera House
A century ago, this opera house was all the rage. Its enchanting, bewitching courtesan and sweet-voiced songstress were reduced to ashes alongside the theater in a sudden blaze, their deaths horrific.
Scenario Two: The Divine Messenger
When the bell tolls, songs ring out from the deserted village square. A strange girl dances gracefully among the trees. Each time her dance ends, someone in the village who has betrayed the gods disappears...
They pray to gods and Buddhas, but when have they ever shown the gods reverence?
After Pei Nanyi survives by the skin of her teeth and clears her twelfth scenario, she sees her long-dead sister, Pei Nian'an, standing before her.
Death, betrayal... In this bustling world of mortals, this still isn’t their place to call home.
