Wu Xie, an NPC security guard who could never survive more than three chapters in the supernatural game, suddenly awakened to self-awareness after being killed by the Ghost Bride for the one hundred and third time.
He looked at the familiar game world in front of him, the plots that were set, the deaths that were arranged, the fate that was destined - they were all lies! Those superior players are just bastards who abuse NPCs by relying on their status given by the system.
But after awakening, Wu Xie found that not only could he remember all death experiences, but he could also see the plot prompts above the NPC's head and the player's weakness marks. What's even more outrageous is that he discovers that he is actually the core easter egg of the game - as long as he gathers the abilities of the seven vengeful spirits, he can become the real world master.
While the players were still complacent about conquering the Ghost Bride dungeon, Wu Xie had secretly conquered the red-dressed nurse in the hospital; while the master anchors were still showing off their achievements in cracking the ghosts in the mines, Wu Xie had already acquired the ability to peek into the mind.
But he wasn't the only one to wake up. The NPC colleague Wang Lei who always snatches his flashlight, the female ghost programmer who always encounters bugs at critical moments, and the mistress who pretends to be a player but is actually a GM are all making secret moves.
This game world is far more complicated than he imagined. And are these real "players" playing games, or are they being played by games?
