How to Survive in a Horror Game

The overworked wage slave Xin Yun tripped over her own feet on her way home from work and fell into a horror game called Seven-Day Reincarnation. From the start, everything was stacked against her: zero combat power, zero weapons, and zero chance of survival.

Submission: How can a top-tier wage slave survive after transmigrating into a horror game?

Answer: Keep your emotions steady and communicate properly.

Because completing the beginner's village quests properly lets you open a mystery box, and the odds of winning a grand prize are as high as 0.0001%.

The players rubbed their hands together, eager to give it a try, hoping to be the legendary lucky one.

[Congratulations, Survivor Player No. 2333, you obtained an F-rank skill: Escape.]

[Congratulations, Survivor Player No. 8886, you obtained an F-rank skill: Vortex.]

[Congratulations, Survivor Player No. 1111, you obtained an A-rank skill...]

[Congratulations...]

Amid the chorus of announcements, Xin Yun became the center of attention.

The next second, the System announced: [Congratulations, Survivor Player No. 7444, you obtained a 3S-rank divine skill: Reset Anything.]

In an instant, the players all looked at her differently. But once they saw what she was holding, their gazes cleared again.

Xin Yun smiled. "Can you keep your emotions steady and communicate properly?"

A top-tier wage slave can thrive anywhere.

Step one: Volunteer enthusiastically.

Step two: Get the job.

Step three: Listen to Xin Yun share her experience.

Xin Yun: "I'm just an ordinary wage slave. My daily life consists of being tormented by idiot bosses and idiot coworkers, so I learned to immerse myself in my work."

The players watched her physically exorcise the ghost NPCs, so terrified they turned pale.

Player 1: "I apologize for badmouthing you before."

Xin Yun: "It's fine. I'll badmouth you too from now on."

"Then, can we be friends?"

Xin Yun was unmoved. "You can be my enemy, too."

Player 2: "Heh, who dreams about getting killed by a ghost in their dreams?"

Xin Yun: "...You'll be punished for that."

That night, Player 2 was pulled into an NPC's pocket world and turned deathly pale with fright. "Xin Yun, help!!!"

Coming Soon: New Novel

Xin Yu, who earned the legendary title of King of Slacking in the Seventh District, swore from childhood that she would never become a wage slave. And if she had to, she would be the most shameless slacker of them all.

To put her vow into practice, when choosing a major during freshman registration at her new district's new campus, she proudly chose the healing department, a field with a severe shortage of talent and absolutely no importance whatsoever.

Then everyone looked down on her.

The legendary King of Slacking didn't care at all. Let the storm come even harder!

During an open team-based mock assessment held on campus, Xin Yu was unfortunately assigned to the strongest team on campus. Everyone except her was a hardcore overachiever.

When the roster was announced, the campus forum was rocked by a storm of heated discussion.

[This healing freshman is doomed!]

[I'll bet a pack of spicy strips she'll be eliminated in one second.]

[The legendary King of Slacking from District Seven is about to bring down the strongest team!]

[Woohoo! Our team has this in the bag!]

Before long, a post titled [You Don't Need to Heal Yourself, Your Healer Is Here] broke through the chatter and went viral. Posted by: Keep a Low Profile.

Post: I won't take the nasty things you all said to heart, because I'll write them down in a notebook, keep it on my bedside table, and read them once every night before bed.

Theme: Never give up, and keep searching for yourself.
