Horror returns, strange tales descend, and Blue Star becomes a hunting ground for vengeful ghosts and forbidden zones.
Lu Yan is thrown into an asylum as a sacrifice by a cult. He should have died at the hands of the supernatural, but instead, he unexpectedly binds himself to a [Supernatural Instance Editor] on the verge of shutting down.
To stay alive, he has no choice but to take a risky approach:
He launches a game.
He presents Earth players from another peaceful world as the first beta testers of "Silent Abyss";
He disguises forbidden zones where people really die, bleed, and go mad as a 100% realistic, fully immersive horror game;
Then he gets this horde of fearless troublemakers, obsessed with loot and walkthroughs, to help him grind monsters, explore new territory, farm currency, defend the city, and maybe save this world that's on the verge of falling apart.
And so the forbidden zones that spell despair to Blue Star's natives become beginner villages to the players.
The feasts of flesh and blood that await wandering souls and vengeful ghosts become limited-time events where players scramble to score the first kill.
Even the rules of strange tales that could drive any sane person mad are gradually exposed, broken, and turned against their creators by players in the most ridiculous ways.
While the Investigation Bureau is still scrambling to deal with the supernatural resurgence, Lu Yan has already built the first Abyss Outpost inside the asylum, with the help of a horde of Earth players.
This is the story of a ruthless game designer who makes a fortune surviving the apocalypse with a “realistic game.”
It's also the story of a group of Earth players who keep charging to their deaths, while turning a terrifying world into a bustling city of fun.
