Hell Is Empty, and I Will Rule It

[Two Interwoven Main Plots] [Fairy-Tale Trio] [Identity Cards] [Humanity’s Self-Developed Supernatural Powers] I was thrown into hell because I was supposed to inherit some so-called legacy, only to discover that this place was a live-action game of Werewolf.

While everyone else drew identity cards like Villager or Seer, I drew [Hunter x Hunter], with one infuriating rule attached: whoever kills me has to die with me.

I thought I’d have to scrape by in hell, but instead I was dragged into Red Night in Luoxia Village.

The villagers wore numb expressions. Moonlight seeped from a dry well, and the werewolf elder cried out atop the altar: “On the seventh night, we welcome the descent of the Father God, [Crescent Moon Sky]!”

My lawyer patted me on the shoulder and smiled.

“Don’t panic. The final shot rule is now in effect. Hunter, please take one god with you.”

I raised a nonexistent gun and aimed at the incomplete blood moon hanging in the sky.

The whole crowd fell silent.

The Wolf King roared, the knight got lost, and the witch munched on sunflower seeds.

And I, a lowly first-tier newbie, was forced to take on the role of a god-slayer.

It wasn’t until I stepped into the Forgotten Castle left behind by “Second Uncle” that I began to understand.

The alchemical puppet butler was adorably stupid, the Hunter branch president wore a complicated expression, and the dark lawyer quietly pulled out a copy of The Complete Guide to Loopholes in Hell’s Laws.

Only then did it dawn on me:

This game had never been about survival.

It was about uncovering the truth behind the fall of the “Scarlet Catcher,”

and stopping two worlds from reuniting completely amid a web of lies

“Mr. Hunter, please choose who to take with you tonight.”

I looked into the void, where fourteen bloodstained identity cards hung suspended.

This time, I aimed my gun at the god dealing the cards.
