Giving Up on Escaping in a Survival World

Terminally ill, a failed suicide attempt, and now in a survival game world. Everyone else is trying to survive. Qian Xi just wants to die.

The most terrifying thing in an escape game isn't the monsters, but human nature. Everyone is evil, and he's the only one with a heart and a sense of honor. Meeting him is Qian Xi's greatest stroke of luck.

He Jin: "If you don't take the game seriously, you'll be erased."

Qian Xi: "The System just rewarded me with a skill."

He Jin: "Why do people who want to die always get lucky? What skill?"

Qian Xi: "I can die in someone else's place. It only works once, which is kind of a shame."

He Jin: "Can you die twice?"

Qian Xi: "..."

He Jin: "Stick with me. I'll get you back to your original world!"

The trio determined to die: legends of the escape game world who never try to escape, only to die. They can't seem to die, and they make sure nobody else gets out alive.

To get rid of these three blights on the escape game world, the System issues a mission: make the trio give up trying to die and return to their original world.
