Shen Ling has known since childhood that he's an unusual "monster."
He has always liked things other people fear, such as skeletons, zombies, tentacles, monsters, and more...
Suddenly pulled into a strange and terrifying otherworld, he is forced to face one terrifying game after another, each filled with eerie phenomena and calamities.
While everyone around him screams in terror, Shen Ling calmly surveys his surroundings. The world he sees is completely different from the one they see. The terrifying creatures that embody [Eerie] and [Calamity] look especially beautiful to him... tempting, even.
Like ripe fruit waiting to be picked.
His rational mind tells him the Eerie are extremely dangerous, but Shen Ling just can't resist!!!
After finally making it through a game while dragging his sick body along, Shen Ling swiftly packs up the dungeon boss's core and slips it into his pocket.
It's so tempting! He wants to turn all these bizarre, magnificent calamities into collectibles!!!
Shen Ling goes completely wild!
Eerie statues, roses with human faces...
While everyone else trembles with fear and risks their lives to clear levels just to survive, Shen Ling has only one goal: haul them all back!!!
Shen Ling puts his collectibles to good use, making them the cornerstone of the guild he builds.
Gradually, the most powerful guild in the entire game comes into being. Its members form teams to conquer one difficult dungeon after another, offering the glowing green calamity cores they find inside to their guild leader.
Before long, the Eerie game disappears from the entire world. All that remains is a gloomy, towering castle and its master, who has gathered every last Eerie creature and calamity into his collection.
The one who "saved" the world is revered as a god.
People sing of how the god has descended upon the world, collecting every calamity in an endless box of desire.
Including the traitor who once escaped...
Shen Ling's eyes darken as he grips his former lover's fragile neck and locks him in a cage of pure gold. "Chi Wu, your calamity index is too high. You're no different from a monster."
"So I hereby declare you one of my collectibles, too. If you try to escape again, I'll have no choice but to break your bones and keep you locked here forever."
But Chi Wu gazes fearlessly into his blood-red eyes, then obediently lowers his head to nuzzle Shen Ling's palm. "I won't run away again. I'll stay by your side forever."
