Grinding Monsters and Leveling Up in a Magical World

Chen Mo, an ordinary corporate drone, woke up naked in a deadly maze in another world. Two moons hung in the sky, and a System panel floated before his eyes:

“Quest 1: Find some pants (Reward: Coarse-Linen Shorts)”

“Warning: You have been marked as an ‘otherworldly invader.’ All living beings will hunt you down”

He was forced to bind himself to the [Abyssal Resonance System], but the abilities he awakened were downright sinister: controlling the undead, devouring shadows, and bargaining with demons. Use these skills to save someone, and your soul will be corrupted. Don't use them, and cannibals will tear you apart the next second. To make matters worse, the System's “beginner quests” dragged him into the political maelstrom of Greenstone City, while beneath the peaceful facade of his hometown on Earth lurked a deadly rift connecting the two worlds.

“Choice: Save a child with the power of shadow, at the cost of descending into madness”

“Choice: Expose the conspiracy to the nobles, but reveal your true ‘monster’ form”

When he discovered that the so-called “savior” was merely a pawn in the gods' game, and that the [World Phoenix Crest] he'd awakened was a seed of apocalypse, Chen Mo went completely dark:

“If saving the world means becoming a monster, I don't mind... going madder than every enemy.”

A wild feast of antiheroes

In this otherworld beneath the twin moons, the line between good and evil has long since blurred.

The only clear rule is this: whoever survives is in the right.
