Synopsis

[Two male leads + Infinite Flow + Two equally powerful leads + Ensemble cast + Urban setting + Horror worlds + Alternate universe + Multiple timelines]

A friendly warning: This probably won’t break your heart. The top isn’t human, and is an avatar of an evil god with many forms. Is its final form a snake? The bottom is sickly and unhinged, so read with caution.

What fun things might happen when a sickly man enters a horror instance?

Liu Ye is perfectly normal in every medical examination, but his actual physical condition is terrible. When he enters an instance, his first challenge is simply whether he can stay alive.

Ten points of health. A monster could probably bump into him and kill him, right?

But there’s always a way out. His fragile body and powerful personal talent are a perfect match.

Liu Ye: What if I keep getting myself killed?

Immortal Body: Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

Liu Ye: I’m not in great shape. What if I’m gasping after every few steps?

Immortal Body: Relax. Keep walking.

Liu Ye: I...

Immortal Body: Shut up. Even if everyone else dies, you won’t.

Liu Ye: Now that you’ve said that, I feel much better.

His health might be poor, but his luck is the envy of everyone.

The first instance had two gods descend. The second was a life-or-death gamble. Liu Ye couldn’t help thinking he’d hit the jackpot this time.

When in doubt, leave it to luck.

Smiling on the outside, cursing like hell on the inside.

He seems to have an innate ability to attract monsters. God-tier monsters are always hanging around him.

Liu Ye: Who are you?

“Zhu”: ...

The storms of the perilous voyage can’t reach the door of the haunted villa, and no odds on the wheel of death can break the fate that brings us together again.

Between every breath, day and night turn endlessly. On the thirty-thousandth day since you left, I still love you.

“I’m Liu Ye. Liu as in willow, Ye as in leaf.”

“Just a sick willow, that’s all.”

Quality Novels Written by Middle Schoolers or Elementary Schoolers

Don't laugh, I'm serious. I'm an example myself. After seeing too much of life's harshness, I want to switch to stories written by pure-hearted angels. Also, are there any like-minded writers here? Authors under 16, stand up!

Ensemble Cast with a Team of Specialists, Where No One Is Just Background (Male Protagonist)

Both the main cast and supporting cast should feel significant, with vivid, distinctive personalities and a sense of camaraderie. The teammates shouldn't just be tools for the protagonist or background decoration. No women-only kingdoms, no tragic endings, and no romance drama. (Apocalypse, infinite-world, horror, and other genres are all fine.)

Any Well-Written Books? Any Genre Is Fine

I want to listen to audiobooks! Tomato's narrated books sound great, but the audiobook features on other platforms are so bad. The narration has no variation in tone at all. It's so uncanny.
