I don't sculpt stone. I sculpt the human heart. The day I was dragged into the Interlude Theater, my third work was nearing completion. Every script here has a corresponding "host."

   This is a self-proclaimed work, not a tabletop role-playing game with dice, but rather a tabletop role-playing game with a host and an infinite flow dungeon. The author is a KPL (King Pro League) enthusiast and an infinite flow fan, so I wanted to write something that combines both, so I'll call it "Host Infinite Flow." The concept is: God/Higher Being + Host + Reincarnator + Module-based dungeon interpretation + Protagonist's perspective + Non-dice randomness = Host Infinite Flow. It features a cold-blooded protagonist, mechanic-based dungeons, and isn't just mindless fun. Eight dungeons are already completed and are worth reading. Each dungeon has a unique mechanic and innovation: card-based survival, folk mystery solving, deduction plot twists, fantasy team battles, Kel'Thuzad cycles, ability clashes, rule-based supernatural tales, and horror simulations. The book is below. It's handwritten, not AI-generated, not purely log-based, and not purely tabletop role-playing. It's primarily an infinite flow story, but you can see Kel'Thuzad-style elements and ensemble interactions. Skipping dungeons is not recommended, as the cause and effect may be unclear. The synopsis is too long; you can read it in the book. I won't pad it out further.

   The protagonist is a tabletop role-playing game master who transmigrates into a cultivation world. He has a bunch of ancient god marks on his body, making him a veritable hodgepodge. He is also proficient in various Cthulhu-type summoning spells and knows all the Cthulhu mythos. So far, the protagonist seems to have a fairly ordinary personality, lacking extraordinary intelligence and prone to carelessness, overlooking details in the modules. His sanity appears to have deteriorated to the point of being a 3 or 4 level character in the tabletop role-playing game.

   *Hunter City, I, the Legendary Investigator!* In this mysterious and dark forest, a game of fighting against fate is unfolding. Here, there are no simple victories or defeats, only the merciless choices of life and death. Every player will become an "investigator," stepping into an unknown and dangerous world, struggling to survive in missions filled with bizarre and terrifying events. Death is true farewell—if you die in a mission, you will face permanent disappearance. There is no rebirth, no second chance. This is a tabletop role-playing game world, with cruel rules and missions full of unknowns. Hunter City is your only home, and you can only use your intelligence and composure to deal with every sudden danger. However, in this land where the bizarre and the strange intertwine, not all challenges come from humanity. Between the untouchable void and the boundary of reality, there exists a force known as "Gods." These gods are like ghosts, elusive and incomprehensible, controlling the fate of players and toying with human life and death. No one knows their true face; only through a contract with them can a glimpse of the truth be revealed. Among them is a figure known as the "Legendary Investigator," who, with his unique talent, repeatedly pushes the limits of missions, challenges the authority of the gods, and becomes a legend in the game. Qian Long is this legendary investigator. He once stood before the altar, facing the towering black mist, chanting, "Great Lord, I call upon your name, please grant my wish... Become a white-haired, beast-eared loli!" At this moment, the system calmly announced: "Charisma check in progress" "Check difficulty: Extremely difficult" "Check result: Great success!" At this moment, Qian Long's wish was granted by the gods! He became a white-haired, beast-eared loli—this is the legendary "Legendary Investigator"! (Note: The early game progresses normally; the loli form will gradually evolve as the mission level and difficulty increase.) In this extremely hardcore game, fate is always full of twists and turns, and every choice players make determines whether they survive. The gods are omnipotent, and the investigators will face ever-escalating terror and challenges. In the dark forest, only the most resourceful and calm individuals can find a glimmer of hope in this endless hunt.

    I finished reading it in two days, and it left me quite moved. Xiao Qi is truly capable of letting go—it's easy to go from poverty to prosperity, but incredibly difficult to go back to ordinary life. The ending was both unexpected and yet felt perfectly fitting for Xiao Qi. And the fact that evil ultimately cannot triumph over good is truly commendable. Reading the last chapter gave me a sense of grandeur, as if the events of Sanshan had finally come to an end, and the world had returned to peace and happiness. I sincerely hope that the children in the mountains can grow up well, attend school properly, and not have their lives ruined by abnormal corporations like Sanshan. I highly recommend this book!
