   Reader note

   This was an academy that had been closed for five years, finally reopening. On the eve of the semester, perhaps due to its long period of silence, or perhaps because only a handful of students had returned to campus early, the academy seemed to possess an air of loneliness and mystery. From the moment Chen Kai stepped through the academy gates all the way to the dormitory building, a vague unease and melancholy lingered in his heart. He couldn't tell if it was the atmosphere of the academy or just his own sentimentality acting up. In dormitory 404 of Building B, Chen Kai stood at the door, pulling his suitcase. He glanced at the dormitory list posted by the door: Zhao Zilong, Lin Feng, Wang Santang, and Chen Kai, before entering the room. The other three were already there. After introducing themselves, they began their own busy unpacking. Before they knew it, dusk was approaching, and Chen Kai was getting hungry. Just as he was thinking of suggesting they go to the cafeteria together, the chubby Zhao Zilong suddenly said mysteriously, "Have you guys heard why this academy was closed five years ago?" The other three shook their heads, signaling him to continue. "Tsk tsk tsk, you guys don't even know about such a sensational event? Then you probably don't know the story of Dorm 404 either!" "Come on, Fatty, stop being so mysterious, just tell us already!" Wang Santang was impatient and couldn't wait to hear the story. Chen Kai was also successfully attracted by this mysterious topic, ignoring his rumbling stomach. "Alright, then you'd better be prepared, don't be scared. This is a strange story involving a murder case. I applied for this dormitory in advance from the college because of this, my purpose is to explore!" Fatty's admiring look made everyone present roll their eyes. "Tch, I'm not afraid of anything, hurry up and tell me, I want to hear what could scare me." Lin Feng was also getting impatient. "Okay, then I'll start with Dorm 404..." Five years ago, Dorm 404 was home to four computer science students. They were very close, attending classes together, eating together, and were almost inseparable. Just as graduation was approaching, and they thought their vibrant and peaceful university life was about to end, one of them died mysteriously in a classroom at the end of a corridor, a place rarely used for classes. The victim's death was gruesome, with blood everywhere, clearly indicating a violent struggle before death.

His lies even manage to deceive the gods in the apocalypse! "My name is Cheng Shi, I never lie." "Panic as it was yesterday, scorn as it is today." The protagonist, a mortal, confronts the gods' absurd gambling game; failure means the world's collapse! A faith game every six days—what will Cheng Shi's fate be? Will he be a favored child or a sacrifice to the gods?

The second book features a protagonist who is an exceptionally intelligent con artist, wielding unparalleled skill with ease. Fourteen devilish games, fourteen life-or-death choices—is his unparalleled skill a cheat code or a curse that plunges people into the abyss? What is survival against all odds? I am survival against all odds! Although both male protagonists are con artists, the plots are completely different.
