Disaster Players Don't Fall for NPC Savior

You may call the player an unreasonable lunatic, a despicable scoundrel, a mindless tyrant, an unstoppable natural disaster, or a god who saves the suffering.

You may feel fear, pain, sorrow, hatred, or ecstatic joy at the player's arrival.

[Welcome to the game, player Ling Lin]

[First Playthrough: The Strongest Class Has Turned Traitor, Every Last One?!]

Ling Lin (delighted): What's this? DC? I'll give it a try. Criminal Minds? I'll give that a try too. Oh, a beautiful, tragic, strong white-haired man. I'll take a big bite.

Ling Lin (not delighted): What? Who stole my mature white-haired man? Why is he a high schooler?

Ling Lin (angry): The player was just doing the main quest. Why is the whole map red now?!

Ling Lin: Let's see who else is still green. A self-proclaimed savior, a pointless martyr, a hollowed-out doctor... How can you talk about the player's friends like that!

[Ending Achieved: The Age of the Strongest Curse User]

Reality:

Ling Lin, having learned a painful lesson, decides to start the next playthrough in free mode and refuse the main quest. This time, the player comes first.

[Second Playthrough: The Decisive Battle at the Pinnacle of Ideals]

Ling Lin: A Demon Slayer instance? Let's go check it out. A One Piece instance? Let's take a peek. A Bungo Stray Dogs instance? Let's have a look. A Honkai: Star Rail instance... Seven-day holiday? Son of Heaven, you are my Son of Zhou! I have to hang out with him for a couple of days and see what he's like!

Ling Lin: Hm? How did I die?

[Ending Achieved: ■■]

Reality:

Ling Lin: Fine, fine, so that's how you want to play. Wherever I'm beaten, that's where I'll fall.

[Third Playthrough: Thirty-Three Heavens and the Endless Lamps]

Ling Lin: Beautiful, tragic, strong, white-haired mature man, here I come!

Ling Lin: What? Kid, do you have a lot of questions?

[Ending Achieved: ■■]

Reality:

Ling Lin: ...

(Silence speaks louder than words.)

[Fourth Playthrough: Day of Mourning]

Ling Lin: I'm gonna kill you.

[Ending Achieved: ■■]

Reality:

Ling Lin: The deadline's still a long way off. I'll start another round.

[Fifth Playthrough: A Genius's Game]

The flesh is weak; embrace mechanical ascension. / Don't be an electronic pet for humanity. Carbon-based life is the perfect form of evolution.

[Ending Achieved: ■■]

Reality:

Ling Lin: Busy. Don't ping me.

Ling Lin: Who are you? The apocalypse? Don't talk nonsense... My romantic debts have come knocking, so I'm leaving. Bye, bye, bye.
