[Urban Superpowers + Reimagined Mythology + Chinese-Style Cthulhu + Supernatural Campus + Sci-Fi Apocalypse]
[Fresh Twists on the Usual Formula + A Blend of Multiple Genres]
One day, I woke to the sound of a barrage of alarms...
An anonymous text popped up on my phone:
[Reach the designated exam hall within 48 minutes. Anyone late will die.]
A countdown began ticking across my retina.
At first, I thought it was just a prank. Then an unknown bell rang, and reality began to change.
Ghostly shadows wandered through the teaching building, sinister monsters hunted in the dormitory, and even the entire library seemed steeped in gloom...
Was I the only one in the whole world who could hear that ineffable bell?
The new principal opened a third eye on his forehead and asked me, “Sun Wukong... is inside you, isn't he?”
I had no idea what he was talking about.
I only knew the countdown was still ticking.
The bell would ring again...
As the Cthulhu Mythos begins to seep into reality, gods who vanished long ago gradually awaken, descending upon the world in the form of various rule-based horror tales.
In this despairing world, do your best to survive...

The frightening scenes are for storytelling purposes only. Do not imitate them. Sensitive readers should proceed with caution.]
After reading the latest update, let me tell you about my feelings about this novel. Uh... How should I put it? What surprised me most about this book was that it wrote a lot of settings and rules without giving people the feeling of "reading an instruction manual". The countdown is discovered along with the protagonist, and the rules are spelled out bit by bit during the escape, just as the reader and the protagonist always know as much, and are always equally likely to make mistakes. This sense of synchronicity of information makes each piece of decryption feel like a shared adventure, rather than passive acceptance of information. It is not satisfied with just writing about horror. The transitional chapters also have some funny clips and hot memes. It feels like there will be a lot of emotional scenes later on. This is more like a book about doomsday, countdown, and indescribable things. It makes me care about these things, which shows that it is more than just a "wonderful setting". I am already looking forward to the follow-up, the multi-party game that has not yet appeared. The author should keep updating more often!!! You will be on the top list in the future!
