[Misunderstandings] [Live Streaming] [Feel-Good Story]
[True Boss Split-Soul Gong x Fake Boss Con-Man Shou]
Yan Congxue was timid, idle, and good for nothing. His actual profession was fortune-teller, commonly known as a street swindler, so he was very good at putting on an act.
One day, he took a job from a client. When he woke up again, he was already lying in a funeral hall.
Yan Congxue: ...
Which enemy of his was such a jerk?
Just then, an old voice came from nearby: "Mrs. Alice, please don't grieve too much. Today is an important day. You must welcome the guests who've come from afar in place of the Count."
He stared down in a daze. At some point, his Zhongshan suit had become a black mourning dress, and a broadcast voice rang in his ears:
[Welcome to the Dream-Making Game.]
[Please remember: You are a beautiful widow. Your husband, Count Montferrat, recently passed away. You live alone in an empty home, longing for company.]
Yan Congxue: Wait, wait, wait. That's not right, is it?
[After the seven days of mourning are over, you will choose a new heir from among the guests who have traveled from afar, as well as your next husband.]
[Your innate skill has been granted: Rabbit Hole (Incomplete)]
[Passive skill activated: Your chance of death is 90% (Friendly reminder: Your current Luck stat is -999).]
[Livestream started.]
Yan Congxue coughed, ignoring the blood on his palm, and slowly raised his head. The handsome count in the black-and-white portrait on the wall seemed to be smiling at him.
So when the players entered the castle, they saw the historically notorious Blood Countess, brutal and murderous, cradling a portrait with a delicate air. Sobbing, she said timidly, "You've finally arrived."
The players looked at one another in horror. "D-Don't come any closer!"
The livestream fell silent for a moment. Wait, don't let him fool you! He's not the boss! He's a new player!
After the dungeon ended, the players stared at the new number-one player on the rankings, looking at one another in confusion. Who is this?
//They say his real-world identity is the ace of a mysterious organization in the Otherworld, with power as formidable as a ghost or god;
//They say he has an unspeakable relationship with the founder of the Ghost Card Society;
//They say even the SS-rank bosses [The Clown] and [The Red Queen] fear him;
//They say his skill can change fate.
Yan Congxue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched his Luck stat plummet, smiling with composure. That's right, all of that is me.
The mark of [That One] on his waist burned hot, as if reminding him that the time they'd agreed upon was drawing near.
------ Dungeon Break ------
Dungeon One: Welcome to Montferrat Castle [Western Europe]
Which husband do you fancy?
The rotting one, or the one with long fangs?
Don't worry, you have seven days to take your time choosing.
Oh no, look out, Madam. Your husband misses you terribly.
Yan Congxue: Who says a count's widow can't inherit the title?
Dungeon Two: The Divine Procession, the Divine Procession! [Chinese Style]
Do you have faith?
Ping'an Village is a quiet, peaceful mountain village. Its people love life and revere Heaven and Earth, and generation after generation have worshipped their own deity. Every year on the day of the procession, every household sets out an altar and burns incense. The divine palanquin passes through the streets, while the gongs and drums never stop.
They believe that as long as their deity is willing to watch over them, Ping'an Village will remain safe forever.
So...
If you had the chance, would you want to become the object of their faith?
Yan Congxue: Hi, friend. Interested in joining the religion?
Dungeon Three: Spring Welcoming Festival [Eastern Europe]
Do you like spring?
Spring is the season when the snow melts and all things come back to life. Naturally, Visna, known as the "Snow Country," is no exception. Every year at the end of winter, the villagers hold a grand festival to welcome spring: a black bear leads the way, a bride sows seeds, the elderly bury the old year, and masked revelers go from door to door to bring blessings for the new year.
And of course, our sweetest little goat is there too.
Please don't be afraid of it.
It will lead you to the true spring.
Yan Congxue: Baa-ha-ha! Guess whether I'm a goat!
