Playing a Background NPC in an Infinite World

[Welcome to Aleph's Infinite World.]

An eerie System announcement rang out across the globe, pulling countless people into a terrifying game that feeds on sin.

Here, unsolved historical cases become death-dealing instances, and the wails of the dead are the background music.

--Rule One: Good is rewarded, and evil is punished.

--Rule Two: Sometimes NPCs are more truthful than players.

--Rule Three: Beware the most perfect companion by your side.

(The rules above were issued by the supreme entity Aleph. We wish all players an enjoyable game.)

Lu Hengyue is the most inconspicuous background NPC in the Infinite World.

In every instance, she is the person locals call "so-and-so's wife" or "what's-their-name's fiancée," quiet and beautiful, with no presence at all.

Players hurry past her, busy solving puzzles, escaping, and fighting. No one gives her a second glance.

Until one day, a new player cries out to her in despair: "Help me!"

She blinks, then snaps the neck of the charging evil spirit with her bare hands.

Jiang Linyuan is widely known as the "lunatic Boss" of the Infinite World.

The completion rate for his instances is less than 0.01%. They're bloody and insane, and players tremble at the thought of them.

No one knows that he is actually the creator of this world.

And fewer still know that he created it for one reason alone:

To bring the evil of the real world to justice.

※ This story was inspired by a quick transmigration novel I read, though I can't remember which one.

※ Some of the Bosses are partly based on historical cases.

※ Good and evil intertwine within the elite player team, where trust and betrayal coexist.

※ This is not a conventional power fantasy. The main focus is the plot and an examination of human nature, with a touch of cosmic horror. Good and evil will always be rewarded or punished.

※ The heroine, Veritas, means "truth" and is the world's foundation and its greatest force. The hero, Aleph, is the god of creation and rules. The two powerful leads work together.

※ The romance centers on the protagonists' absolute trust in each other and their daily lives as hidden rulers. The secondary plot explores the lives of ordinary people. The satisfying moments come from seeing impostors exposed and evil finally brought to justice.

※ I'll add more if I think of anything else or write it later.

Theme: Evil may escape the laws of the human world, but it cannot escape the judgment of conscience and time.
