Gold-Rated Designer of Infinite Instances

[Daily updates around midnight / chapter comments enabled]

The supernatural descends, and infinite dungeons open.

Zhu Li is selected to become a rookie designer.

[Welcome, rookie designer Zhu Li]

[The System calculates dungeon clear rates monthly, with ratings of F, D, C, B, A, and S]

[Designers who receive an F rating twice in a row will be eliminated. Overall, only one designer is eliminated each month]

Elimination means death.

And Zhu Li is the last rookie.

The other newcomers in the rookie zone: "Great, we've got someone to come last!"

[System Shop now open]

As soon as she opens it, it's refreshed with a bunch of junk.

[Iron Gate x1, 5 points]

[Empty Corridor x1, 10 points]

[Hard Bread x1, 1 point]

She takes a look at the list of items the other newcomers can get in the channel.

Chainsaws, daggers, crossbows...

Zhu Li looks baffled. "Is this really a shop?"

Her ID flashes with the dark, sparkling aura of someone cursed with terrible luck.

The other designers start gloating.

Zhu Li smiles faintly and places the door at the beginning. Just as the players think they're about to clear the dungeon easily, they step through the door and find an endless corridor with only one way to go.

It's pitch-black, so dark they can't see their hands in front of them. They can only feel the smooth walls. Then they suddenly spot a light and find hard bread?

Players: "There's hope! I knew this dungeon was easy!"

The truth is that the corridor ends in a dead end. The only way to clear the dungeon is to retrace their steps and leave through the door.

Who could have guessed that?!

The players hallucinate and break down in tears.

[Congratulations, designer Zhu Li. Your dungeon rating is: C]

Designers: "Seriously? She pulled it off?!"

"A mental dimension-lowering attack? You can design a dungeon like this?!"

Players clear the dungeon without a scratch? Zhu Li raises the difficulty.

Competition among designers is fierce? Zhu Li's dungeon clear rate is only 10%.

She leaps to the top of the rankings and becomes the only designer to unlock the card-drawing feature.

A common R card? It's fine, as long as it works.

She draws again:

[SR Bound Spirit]

Put it in a school dungeon: A bullied student, covered in purple bruises, sheds bloody tears and smiles as they guide players to the rooftop. Take one wrong step, and they'll regret it forever.

She casually draws another card, and golden light shines!

[SSR Woman in Red]

Put it in an ancient-era dungeon: A woman trapped in a grand mansion for her entire life invites players to "enjoy" her tragedy. Before they realize it, she is weeping blood and devouring their souls.

It turns out these supernatural NPCs aren't just tools. They each have a past of their own. Because of the Supreme God's greed, they've become tools for slaughter.

Only Zhu Li can see them. They treat her as family and willingly pledge their loyalty to her.

The card pool glitters with golden light.

Zhu Li sighs. "So many SSRs. When will I ever use them all?"

The other designers stare at their empty card pools, weeping with frustration.

-

And so, she succeeded yet again.

She has the most S-rank dungeons, creates the SSS rating, and stands undefeated at the top.

The second spot on the rankings is now everyone's goal, but no one can break her record.

Zhu Li: "This is so boring. Maybe I should... try becoming a god?"

After all, the so-called Supreme God is nothing special.

Thesis: Growth.
