[Mystery and puzzle-solving]

A crazy schemer who acts like a pushover to catch people off guard × a cool, reserved beauty of a god who secretly dotes on him

Lu Zhi accidentally enters an infinite game called [Twenty-One Days]. In his beginner round, he immediately runs into the ‘God’ Bai Ren, who has come down to fix a bug.

Before Lu Zhi arrived, Bai Ren: I’ll just watch. I’ll slack off. I absolutely won’t interfere.

After Lu Zhi arrived, Bai Ren: This is for you. That’s for you. It’s all yours.

I give him cheats, I play favorites, but I know I’m a good god.

There are two big shots in [Twenty-One Days]: one ranked first, the other ranked dead last.

They have one thing in common: their outrageous tricks are off the charts, and they burn through points like water.

The players affectionately call them: the two cheaters.

Others count every point they spend, while the cheaters open up shop and ‘give away’ items.

Others flee at the sight of a mutated NPC, while the cheaters make friends with them.

Others fight for their lives to clear the rounds, while the cheaters… fall in love.

Wait… is this freaking dating game?

Lu Zhi: In our world, green means unwavering devotion. “Hello” means “I miss you,” and “Goodbye” means “Please wait for me.”

Later, Bai Ren gave him a green lily of the valley, said “Goodbye,” then turned around and said, “Hello. I miss you so much.”

Coming soon: After the God of Death Started Working for Me

[The days when the God of Death and I neglected our duties]

A God of Death is evaluated on how many souls he reaps, earning good karma to exchange for a chance at reincarnation.

Perhaps he had committed too many sins, or simply neglected his job. Cheng Cang became the longest-serving and worst-performing God of Death in the Underworld.

Unable to stand it any longer, Yanluo assigned Cheng Cang to investigate why the souls handled by mortician Song Xie were unable to reincarnate.

Cheng Cang rushed over with his huge soul-reaping scythe.

Song Xie gave it a look. “Here for an interview? Your blade’s filthy. Wash it first, then we’ll talk.”

Cheng Cang: …

This is the scythe of the God of Death!!!!

-

Song Xie, born with the ability to see ghosts, often hears wronged spirits pour out their grievances and sees evildoers ruling the world with impunity.

He asks Cheng Cang, “Is there really a cycle of good and evil in this world, with everyone getting what they deserve?”

Cheng Cang: “There wasn’t before, but now there is for everyone who crosses my path.”

Yanluo: “All right, case solved. So you two have been working together to cut down the Underworld’s reincarnation backlog!”

-

At last, a girl’s resentment is resolved and she is ready to leave the mortal world. But after lingering there for too long, her face has rotted beyond recognition.

“My nose has rotted away. I’m ugly now. He won’t recognize me.”

Song Xie takes up his brush, ready to paste a flower over the girl’s face.

Just then, three clangs of the gong signal that it is time to send her soul on its way.

Song Xie looks at Cheng Cang, who is holding the Book of Death.

Cheng Cang: “Why are you looking at me? Do you need me to help pick a flower?”

--

“Death is not the end. Being forgotten is.”

“The gods are feeling kind today. May everything go your way for the rest of your life.”
