Synopsis:
The Zhang Clan Patriarch died in an internal conflict in the ancient city of Sizhou. The bronze bell went missing, leaving the clan without a leader.
The world's will chose Zhang Ruilan, the Qilin girl with the purest bloodline.
But when she reclaimed the token of the patriarch, the clan elders only sneered. "What makes a woman fit to be patriarch?"
Zhang Ruilan looked up at the sky. "Heaven's will, what do I do?"
The world's will replied, "Easy. I'll launch a full-dive online game and let you summon help."
And so, A Clan Patriarch's Reign, the full-dive online game, went live.
Players from modern-day Earth flooded in, starting with the identity of Zhang Clan members.
Dead? Revived! After revival, they automatically received new identities and continued serving the clan.
Loyalty below 50%? Kicked out of the game and account deleted.
"The Zhang elders won't fall in line? Cut them down."
"The Bronze Gate needs guarding? Set up shifts."
"Not enough bloodline? The players will make up the numbers."
When Zhang Ruilan led a horde of players who seemed to have respawn armor growing out of them back to the Zhang family estate, the elders watched those lunatics die and come back, again and again, shouting, "The patriarch is awesome!" At last, they fell silent.
[No CP] [All-Player Cast] Zhang Ruilan: I only wanted to restore the Zhang Clan. How did I end up leading an immortal army?
It seems very silly, but in fact no one has even written down the precise target of loyalty. The player must also be given to those elders. It is also the only novel I have read that directly reveals the player's immortal state to the world.
