When homebody Lin Fan transmigrates into the standard villain, Patriarch Xuangu, in a xianxia game, a cold warning arrives from the "Game Character Maintenance Organization": Follow the script and die as you should, or the world will collapse!
Lin Fan decides to cooperate and do as he's told. But the script has been wrong from the very beginning...
The righteous protagonist, who should have been standing tall and noble, suddenly sheathes his sword and kneels, excitedly grabbing Lin Fan's hand. "A fellow transmigrator? I've finally found my people!" Then he pulls out a battered copy of the OOC Survival Handbook.
Right after that, thousands of NPCs behind them awaken all at once and cry out in unison: "We welcome the savior who will break the fourth wall!"
The System alarm instantly blasts across the heavens.
Lin Fan: "..." Wait, weren't we supposed to follow the story and wait to die? What's with this completely out-of-character turn of events?
From then on, Lin Fan is forced off script. He is forced to team up with the former child of destiny in a "Daredevil Brothers Brigade," repeatedly dancing on the edge of a derailed plot and a System hunting them down.
The plot is novel, the rhythm of the plot is comfortable, and the theme of the second dimension is rare. I haven't seen such a good-looking novel in a long time.
