This world is called the “Gray Realm.”
On the surface, it is a terrifying world corrupted by rules.
In reality, it is a “Gu breeding ground” created by a higher-dimensional civilization.
Every so often, people from the real world are chosen to enter the Gray Realm.
Each of them is bound to a System.
For example:
Sign-In System
Fortune System
Show-Off System
Demon-Slaying System
Romance System
Livestreaming System
Infinite Resurrection System
The Systems tell them:
“You are the chosen child of destiny.”
“Clear the dungeons, and you can become a god.”
But no one knows.
The so-called Systems are really data parasites deployed by a higher-dimensional civilization.
They use their Hosts to grow.
And Chen Mu is the only one who has broken free of their control.
Chen Mu was originally a transmigrator, too.
He was once bound to a System.
But in his first dungeon, he discovered something.
Rules eat people.
Systems eat people, too.
The so-called rewards are actually a slow form of corruption.
The so-called leveling up is actually a process of mutation.
So Chen Mu turned the tables and devoured his own System.
The result was a transformation.
He didn't die.
Instead, he became the most unusual being in the world of rules.
He is both “human”
and “the rules themselves.”
Later, the Gray Realm gave him a title:
“The Faceless Bell Ringer.”
Anyone who hears the bell will trigger a death rule.
