When the clock strikes midnight, a bizarre horror game descends upon the city, randomly pulling people into dungeons where survival is all but impossible.
As players around the world tremble before vengeful ghosts and fight with everything they have just to stay alive, Qin Fan discovers in his very first dungeon that the world looks different through his eyes.
[This corridor looks safe, but more than a dozen severed fingers are lurking beneath the floorboards.] [The stone statue will snap your neck the instant you turn around, unless you spit on it first.] [The Split-Mouthed Woman up ahead is actually painfully shy. If you offer her a red flower, she’ll show you a shortcut out of the dungeon.]
Armed with these absurdly powerful hints, Qin Fan roams unchecked through countless forbidden dungeons, turning a terrifying fight for survival into his own resource-gathering playground.
While top guilds are wiped out in A-rank dungeons, Qin Fan is picking out gear in the final boss’s private chamber. While other players fight over a bite to eat, Qin Fan is sharing a candlelit dinner with the Ghost King’s wife.
The players are breaking down: “We’re all playing a survival game, so why does it look like you’ve come home?” The ghosts are in tears: “Can someone please ban this ridiculous guy already?”
But Qin Fan doesn’t know that behind these hints lies the ultimate secret of the horror game, as well as a cosmic contest that will determine Earth’s fate...
