The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC

(Upcoming novel “There Are Gods in the Ruins.” Thank you all for your support~)

Blurb:

[One of the players is a murderous ghost. Find it, or survive for seven days.]

A new player entered the infinite world, fell in among the NPCs, and vanished from sight. He only gave everyone a surprise at the very end:

“Huh? What’s this? Is this the ghost card you’re looking for?”

Ren Yifei waved his spoils around, looking completely innocent.

On a night of mourning and terror, he was A-Fei, the beloved group mascot who watched the drama unfold while snacking on melon seeds.

In a perilous apartment, he was Song Bozhi, a harmless and helpless blind young man.

At a sinister demon banquet, he was Lord He, a powerful and aloof great demon.

Hey! If you’re good enough to hide among the NPCs and watch the drama, then you’re good enough not to take the cards!

Ren Yifei: I didn’t want to take them. They insisted on giving them to me.

Players: Aaaaaah! Find “Black Rabbit Ren Yifei” among the NPCs and kill him!!!

Saman/Lin Guanyue: ...So, which one is he?

1. The walking cheat, the shou “Ren Yifei/A-Fei” x the living embodiment of perfect luck, the gong “Lin Guanyue/Saman.”

2. The protagonist once cleared the “Big Villain System” and split himself in two, sealing one half away. (The sealed form is an evil god with white hair and red eyes.)

3. Updated daily, six chapters a day after signing.

******Upcoming novel “There Are Gods in the Ruins”******

Blurb: (Currently drafting, expected to start at the end of April.)

Qing Jiu, from a world of magical beasts, accidentally enters the world of mist.

An unregistered resident, he becomes a marriage alliance saboteur to get an ID card.

On the day the deal is done, his victim comes knocking.

“Did you know that lady already had a fiancé? Me.”

The handsome victim, whose aura was fierce, shot him a sidelong glance as his tall shadow slowly engulfed him.

Qing Jiu wanted to run, but the victim grabbed his arm.

[Evil-aligned intelligent life-form detected. The Breeding House is locating the target... Location confirmed. Integration at one hundred percent. All-purpose assistant online. Long time no see, dear master.]

His golden finger had returned. Without a second thought, Qing Jiu grasped the hand of his future charge in return. “Do you need a family doctor?”

“?”

“Free. No, at market price.”

A new Breeding House for Awakened Ones had opened in District 43. It claimed it could cure calamity bodies and guide cultivation, but everyone scoffed.

“Don’t calamity bodies get rejected by both gods and men? Is this just a cheap publicity stunt?”

“Talent, aptitude, and comprehension are all innate. I’ve never heard of anyone being able to teach them.”

Everyone was waiting for a laugh, but then Lou Yan walked through that door, and... he got better. He got stronger, too.

An advertisement appeared outside the Breeding House:

Does your talent and circumstances fail to measure up to your hard work?

Come to me.

I’ll make up for what you lack by nature and mend your acquired shortcomings. If there’s no path, I’ll cut one for you.

Your professional trainer will be with you every step of the way.

To Qing Jiu, Lou Yan was an excellent charge. He faithfully carried out every plan and provided full material support.

It was just that he always wanted to compete with Qing Jiu’s work for his attention, grinding his teeth against that soft flesh, forever unsatisfied.

He was hard to placate.

The broken swordsman, the fugitive ruined man, the slum genius... All the world’s heroes at the end of their road found their way into the Breeding House.

Fame brought admirers, and everyone was betting on whom the trainer would accept, and how many.

Lou Yan climbed through the window in the middle of the night to block Qing Jiu’s way, then kissed him until he melted into a puddle.

“They’re all bad people. Choose me.”

Important content warnings:

1. This blurb is for reference only. The actual story is what matters. It has an old-school flavor, so don’t overthink the characters’ morals.

2. Shou-centric power fantasy, one-on-one and mutually devoted. Along the way, multiple love interests will have one-sided crushes on the shou, with possible shou-focused wish fulfillment, coercive courtship, and rivals fighting over him.

3. This is a lawless society. The shou protagonist is universally adored, and everyone has low morals without wasting time agonizing over them.

4. The comment section belongs to the readers.

5. Updated daily.

Theme: Be dedicated to your work and do it well.
