Rule One: Never respond to any voice coming from outside your room, even if you recognize the person.
Rule Two: Every city has safe houses, but safe houses do not expand infinitely. If you see one that does, do not go inside! Do not go inside! Do not go inside!
Rule Three: If you discover that your own safe house is expanding infinitely, don't be afraid. This is normal.
When Jiang Jianyi woke up, he discovered that he was in a strange world where the uncanny ran rampant and all sorts of impostors and bizarre creatures lurked.
Even the room he lived in seemed to be not quite right.
Not wanting to stay in his room, Jiang Jianyi went outside and encountered his first monster...
Hmm, the monster was more fragile than he'd expected. Pretty easy to beat.
After defeating it, Jiang Jianyi heard a voice in his mind.
[Congratulations, Host. You have activated the Infinite Safe House.]
Following the instructions, Jiang Jianyi chose a small inn as his safe house and put up a sign.
"Infinite Safe House"
The small print above the sign read: Everyone is welcome. Our inn guarantees lights that never go out, hot water, instant noodles, and absolute safety.
Everyone is welcome to stay.
The small print below the sign read: All beings are welcome. Our inn treats everyone equally, provides water and food, and guarantees you a pleasant stay.
"Do you really have food here?"
Looking at the customer who had just arrived, Jiang Jianyi smiled.
"Of course. Welcome..."
Jiang Jianyi's safe house welcomed its first customer, then a second, then many more.
Everyone who came to the ever-expanding safe house loved it.
They loved everything about the place: the food, the lodging, the staff. Every detail made them feel at ease, especially the owner.
He was just so warm and approachable, so kind and compassionate.
When the safe house had grown to cover the entire world and all life had moved inside, Jiang Jianyi contentedly twirled the crystal ball in his hand.
Later, while fighting a monster outside to expand the safe house, Jiang Jianyi casually flung the chain in his hand at it.
The monster died, but the chain wrapped itself around him instead.
Jiang Jianyi silently watched the thing crawling all over him: ...
Bonus scene 1:
Jiang Jianyi had gotten used to the chain crawling all over him and was playing with it as usual.
Suddenly, the chain turned into a handsome long-haired man right before his eyes. Smiling at him, the man said, "Hey, dear..."
Jiang Jianyi: Turn back.
Theme: What you see is not necessarily real, and what you hear is not necessarily true.
