Su Nuo is a 22-year-old convenience store night-shift cashier, a socially anxious slacker whose dream is to keep her head down and make it safely to retirement.
That is, until she is dragged into the “Abyss Game”: rule-based horror, midnight taboos, and ghosts coming to claim lives. While everyone else is scared out of their wits, she stands behind the counter, scanning items and ringing them up with practiced ease, then casually hands a red-robed ghost customer a lollipop: “Buy one, get one free.”
Everyone is dumbfounded. Even more absurdly, she discovers that she’s bound to a “deleted max-level expert account,” with every stat maxed out and every skill unlocked. Her reaction? “The newbie benefits are this good?”
From then on, the whole server goes wild: sweeping monks, hidden bosses, and leaderboard veterans openly challenge her. Meanwhile, she mops the floor with an innocent look on her face. “I really just want to clock out...”
Only Gu Jin, the new convenience store owner, knows the truth. With tea-colored eyes and a cool, quiet demeanor, he secretly shields her from every pursuit in the instances. As her memories return, Su Nuo gradually discovers that the account was hers all along. She was one of the strongest players from the first wave, but after she stumbled upon the game's secret, the System erased her memories and sent her back to the newbie village. Gu Jin was the person she trusted most before she lost her memory.
When the final boss arrives, everyone waits for her to lay waste to the world. Su Nuo grips her mop and falls silent for three seconds:
“Can we change the rules? Make it so we don’t have to work overtime.”
A socially anxious cashier is forced to serve, and the max-level expert can no longer hide her secret identity. Even a slacker can turn the whole game upside down.
