[Good News! Welcome to the Ruins World 🎉]
Congratulations on successfully moving into the Otherworld and officially bidding farewell to the Real World!
Even if you’re lucky enough to escape this Ruins instance, you can never return to your old world. From now on, you’ll be completely cut off from your family and friends.
There’s no need to mourn those you’ve left behind. You’ll find plenty of new excitement here.
You’ll meet a whole host of warmhearted, lively companions who will eagerly urge you onward to one ruin after another.
Pollution has already spread across the globe. There’s nowhere you can run to escape it.
Please make yourself at home. Don’t worry that your new friends won’t be able to adjust. These fake friends of yours will naturally turn into madmen and corpses, and learn to live here.
Go forth and explore without fear. Your lover and companions will thoughtfully prepare clues and hints for you:
Look, they’ve already come to pick you up :)

[Ruin Three: Swift Franchise Co., Ltd.] Ongoing, solo instance
In the company basement, a group of destitute young people are gathered together.
The company’s leaders express regret that these people once went astray, but assure them that as long as they work hard and keep their noses clean, they can earn back the money they lost with their own hands.
The company motto is:
Work diligently, for the company! Suffer now and suffer later, for the company!
Detailed Background, Romance-Focused Version:
Ruins of evil gods are encroaching on the real world. Those dragged into the Otherworld are forced to take part in deadly “performances.”
“Why should we let them slaughter us like sheep?”
“Then let’s all unite and make the evil gods our ‘kindling.’”
The call to resist gave birth to the Church.
But as time passed, the Church’s influence grew stronger. To limit the power of individuals, the central authorities issued an order requiring the head of each branch to send the person most important to them to the central headquarters for “protection.”
So Zhou Shi, who had barely escaped the ruins alive, came face-to-face with Qiu Shang, who intended to send him to the central prison for detention.
The man in front of him would have had a lovely smile, if not for the blood smeared across his face:
Zhou Shi retreated step by step. “Has no one ever told you how awful your smile is?”
Qiu Shang slowly approached. “After all this time apart, is that any way to talk about your boyfriend?”
“Give me a break. You’re the person I hate most.”
Zhou Shi had nowhere left to retreat, but Qiu Shang didn’t stop. As his arm pressed down on Zhou Shi’s breastbone, the last thing Zhou Shi heard was Qiu Shang’s slightly muffled voice: “Perfect. I hate you too. We really are made for each other.”
I’ve been busy lately, so I’m updating three times a week. Please add this to your collection -3-, please add this to your collection -3-. Love you all.
