[Welcome to the Primordial Nightmare.]
[Rule One: You must obey the rules of the strange tales, or you will be erased.]
[Rule Two: Do not look directly at higher-dimensional entities.]
[Rule Three: …]
While all of humanity trembles under the shadow of deadly rules, desperately searching for a way to survive,
the veteran psychiatrist Lin Ji looks at the fine print on his retina and sighs in utter despair. Then… he unlocks the mental restraints deep within his mind.
The next second, everything changes.
Faced with a contract that forces him to sell a kidney, the [Outlaw] adjusts his glasses. “A deceptive boilerplate clause and a contract signed under duress. Excellent. This flesh-and-blood hospital now belongs to me, fair and square.”
Faced with the incomprehensible might of a higher-dimensional entity, the [Suit-Wearing Bruiser] yanks off his tie. “Truth is only within firing range. If it has a health bar, I don’t care if it’s a god, I’ll tear it apart!”
Faced with a situation where death is certain, the [Desperate Gambler] flips a coin. “A guaranteed kill? Not a chance. Let’s play a game with even odds! I’ll wager my life against tomorrow!”
Faced with an indescribable final boss, the [Mad Scholar] raises a bone saw. “What a perfect specimen. Let’s cut it open and see what it really is…”
Lin Ji: I wanted to treat you like ordinary people, but you forced me to let the lunatic inside my head out.
Higher-dimensional monsters: Please, just close the door to that asylum!
