The Genius Gamer’s Unmatched Gamble

Urban realism | Urban suspense | Substitute identity | Identity swap | Father-and-son showdown | Disowned heir | Survival game | Rule-based horror | Mastermind | No romance | No System | One-eyed protagonist | High-IQ challenges | Last-stand counterattack | Borderland intrigue | Mining-industry cover-up | Environmental crime | Gray Crow mercenaries

The protagonist is Pan Xuanhua.

A ruthless man from the bottom of society, I became a stand-in for Li Tianlong, the disowned heir of a powerful family.

They told me it was just a game, playing a rich man for a while before collecting my money and leaving.

That was until they sent me into the abandoned “Blackwater” mine.

The air carried the sweet scent of cyanide, and radioactive waste flowed through the water.

The Gray Crow mercenaries had their guns aimed at my forehead.

That was when I understood: this wasn’t a game. It was a cover-up.

The medical officer shoved a journal into my hands as he lay dying. It revealed the truth:

“There was never any neural reconnection. Just poison gas... Li Guohao knew everything.”

The wealthy patriarch who treated me like his own son had sent me and his own son into a gas chamber with his own hands.

Now the rules of the game have changed.

I’ve crawled back from hell with bloody evidence that can ruin him.

Li Guohao, don’t you love playing games?

This time, I’m the one dealing the cards.
