TNT: I Became the Group’s Favorite After Giving Up

The sister story next door: TNT: Did You Escape Alive?

|A passion project. Infinite Realms. Ensemble cast. Survival games|

Lin Wanxing thought death was the end, but she was dragged into the Escape World. The stats on her screen from the start were glaring: Stamina 10, Sanity 250. She used to take death in stride. No one cared about her when she was alive, so what did it matter if she died here?

At first, she paid no attention to the blood seeping from the walls and only shrugged when doors slammed shut without warning. Then she met them: one person pulled her away from a monster, another pressed a lifesaving candy into her hand, and someone else scolded her for “holding everyone back” but always gave her the safest route.

These little moments made her fear death for the first time when a teammate was injured protecting her. She began to learn to run, memorize where the traps were, and rush to her teammates’ aid as soon as they were in danger.

After ninety-nine sunsets, she went from “It’s just getting dark” to “We have to watch the sunrise together tomorrow.” Someone asked her, “You weren’t afraid to die before?”

She looked at the seven people around the campfire and said softly, “I used to think no one would care if I died.”

“We care.”

She learned that being held dear by someone is warmth in a frozen wilderness. She no longer wanted to clear the game. She just wanted to see more of them.

// When death is no longer a release, meeting one another becomes the reason to keep living. //

She used to be an island, but seven rays of light joined her to the shore.
