The world has entered the age of horror instances. Every instance is packed with zombies, vengeful ghosts, locked rooms, and bloody escapes. People have long grown accustomed to defining fear through death and gore.
Lin Yan transmigrates into this world with a terminal illness that causes premature aging and only seven days to live. He's forced to bind himself to the Instance Creation System and must create a successful horror instance within seven days or his soul will be destroyed.
All the other creators are busy competing to make their instances more supernatural, more monstrous, and bloodier.
Only Lin Yan takes a different path: recreating the Chinese office worker's corporate hell.
Endless KPIs, all-nighters, workplace manipulation, cutthroat competition between colleagues, backstabbing and blame-shifting, crushing mortgage payments...
No ghosts, no blood, no death.
But after experiencing it, even the top-ranked challengers all break down, lose it completely, and have their minds utterly crushed.
