Synopsis

[Infinite Flow] [Ensemble Cast] [Rule-Based Horror] [Extreme Survival]

The gods never lie, but they never tell you all the rules.

On New Year's Eve, the whole world witnessed a live broadcast.

A god descended and announced: Every quarter, ten thousand people will be chosen at random to take part in a game.

The winners will take home more wealth than they could spend in a lifetime.

The losers... will die.

That night, detective He Nian received a letter that had appeared on his desk.

He had lost his wife, and the only clue pointed to this bizarre game.

To find her, he had to survive the first round.

But there was more than one game, and more than one death.

A string of unsolved cases from ancient times, fifteen brutal years in the wilderness, a future city with no need for humanity, a multi-city struggle in the chaos of the Republic of China... and finally, a deadly game linking two timelines behind two doors.

Each time the world changed, a new group arrived, and another group died.

No one had a get-out-of-death-free card. The players clashed, and danger lurked at every turn.

Until one day, the god looked at He Nian and asked a question that made his blood run cold:

"Do you think this is your first time here?"

This is the story of an ordinary man risking his life to uncover the truth within the rules.

The god doesn't lie, but it will play you to death.

I’m Really Curious Why New Authors’ Stories Don’t Get Popular

Looking for stories similar to The Hidden Immortal Venerable: Bringing a Cat and a Pocket Dimension to Blow Up Another World. This topic comes from a frustrated author who's been working hard to update and promote their book, but still hasn't seen any improvement in its stats or earned a single cent. So I'd like to ask everyone for advice.
