The City of Seven Nights

The gods of old were forgotten. In the interstellar age, faith in the new gods had spread throughout the universe.

But gods can fall into evil.

.

On his way to work, Ji Aichuan was suddenly dragged into a game. A man in plain glasses stood in a blood-soaked battlefield, an ordinary, mild-mannered office worker completely out of place amid the brutality of the trial grounds.

Ji Aichuan smiled faintly and took off his glasses. "So, does being forgotten mean the old gods lose their divine authority?"

.

An announcement suddenly appeared on the trial grounds' public screen: [Level One Trial Ground conquered. Score: Solo Player J, perfect score]

The players were in an uproar.

.

Amid the trembling players, Ji Aichuan calmly put his glasses back on, his feet planted in the blood and flesh strewn across the ground. Before leaving the instance, he smiled warmly and waved goodbye to everyone. The players... carefully backed away by half a meter.

Ji Aichuan: ...? I'm hurt.

.

From then on, Solo Player J made a name for himself in the trial grounds.

.

The gods forgotten by their people had lost their faith over countless millennia. Their divine thrones were usurped, their divine power completely vanished, and no one remembered their radiance or names. But the gods of old had never regretted it.

Ji Aichuan pushed up his glasses, contentedly listening to the beep of his card after he swiped it.

"I made it to work on time today. How lucky."
