[Originally titled Terror Game Live]

[Chapter comments are open]

[Couple: sunny, talkative, energetic bottom x cool, reserved, devoted top]

[Xie Tu x Shen Zhizhou]

[Childhood friends / mutual pining / two powerhouses team up to clear stages]

Blurb:

Xie Tu was a gaming streamer. One day, after ending his stream, he was pulled into a very different kind of livestream.

The channel specialized in live-action horror game shows. Popularity points represented players' health bars, and there was no way to quit voluntarily. One wrong move, and you could really end up dead.

Xie Tu: "I'm good at games, but this is the first time I've played one this realistic. Wait, am I being forced to work overtime?! No way!!!"

·

As the game began, countless comments flooded the screen. He had no choice but to wear his streamer secret identity and team up with a cold, poker-faced guy to clear the stage.

To earn a few popularity points, he even put on a show now and then.

Only after a while did he realize that this cool guy was someone he'd known as a child. Back then, he'd cried his eyes out while calling him "big brother."

·

In the game world, mirrors at school reveal bloody handprints, and eyes can suddenly grow in the palms of your hands. A real dragon lurks in a castle. In an apocalyptic world, people can draw cards to gain extraordinary powers. An empire famous for its dolls is hit by the worst doll rebellion in its history...

Kindness, loyalty, sincerity, solidarity, courage... all are being judged by an unseen force.

The rewards for clearing the games are generous, but the penalties are severe.

What the players don't yet know is that the world they know has been designated Earth One. Billions of light-years away, a group of magical beings that should exist only in games have made humanity part of an experiment.

[School mystery unlocked: The Hidden Shadow]

[Reward unlocked: 10 points, redeemable for items at the school store]

[Player mission: Investigate the truth behind the shadow]

[Write your answer neatly on the answer sheet in black 0.5 mm ink, and make the truth known to the public.]

[Game Two: Old Mansion Adventure]

"Welcome to the game Old Mansion Adventure."

"Game background: Kailuosen Town was once a peaceful place. But a hundred years ago, a dragon awoke and took up residence there, terrifying the townspeople."

"According to local legend, the noble Howard family hid a fortune in a bronze gate reached through a mountain tunnel."

"Not long ago, Mr. Howard told the townspeople that he had found where the fortune was hidden and possessed ten keys left behind by his ancestors."

"But the dragon occupied the valley where the fortune lay, making it impossible for Mr. Howard to approach."

"The people of Kailuosen call this fortune the Dragon's Treasure."

"Mr. Howard is recruiting heroes to open the treasure chamber. He promises that any hero who succeeds can claim the Howard family's fortune, but every hero who has attempted the challenge has died at the dragon's jaws."

"Despite this, many more heroes continue to arrive, one after another..."

"Game objective: Open the Dragon's Treasure."

[Game Three: Apocalypse Green Moon]

"Game background: Dongyue City was once a dazzling metropolis. After a fierce scientific rivalry, it was reduced to ruins. As the surviving humans rebuilt, the first corpse appeared among the wreckage."

"From then on, countless zombies began attacking the city, turning Dongyue into a dangerous, abandoned city."

"In their fight against the zombies, humans evolved various supernatural abilities. They also gave rise to the uncontrollable 'werewolves.'"

"The moon above Dongyue City turned a strange green. Whenever the Green Moon reached its full phase, werewolves howled in packs and the zombies surged in a fresh outbreak."

"To face this crisis, humans repaired the energy tree in the city center. The tree sustains the energy supply of the entire city. They later built the 'safety tower,' which has a complete protective barrier that can repel any werewolf or zombie invasion. But the tower has limited space and supplies, and only the 200 humans with the highest contribution rankings have the right to enter."

"The authorities established a central plaza. Every day, the safety tower distributes supplies to the plaza and several other locations for the people living outside the tower."

"This game has no save points. Players may choose once to leave the game world within two days of entering the game."

"Player main mission: Gather pollution bottles, light the tree in the city center, keep Dongyue City's energy running, and survive as a 'human.'"

"Player side mission: Investigate the cause of the Green Moon and eliminate all zombies."

[Game Four: Doll Realm]

The Doll Empire is sacred ground, where equality, freedom, and universal love are held sacred.

The empire has suffered an unprecedented "doll rebellion." A group of dolls gained extraordinary powers and began attacking humans uncontrollably, even their own owners.

Anyone touched by these abnormal dolls inevitably turned into a doll. Half the empire's population was transformed, including Her Majesty the Queen.

Mages from distant lands have been invited by the royal family to do everything they can to lift this curse and end the doll rebellion...

[Game Five: The Taoist Priest Goes Forth]

Every three years, the old town holds a ceremony to worship the river god, sacrificing a newborn baby. Over time, the spirits of the infants grew in number and their resentment filled the air. They returned to the town to seek revenge, endlessly chanting, "Mix the dough, knead the dough, add color, make flower buns..."

[Hint: Rainy days are the perfect time to search for the truth.]

[Players must eat at least one flower bun every day to stave off hunger. Otherwise, their gold thread will fall to zero the next day and they will die. Be careful not to eat a ghost-kneaded bun, or you will become possessed. (Ghost-kneaded buns are flower buns containing the resentment of the dead.)]

[The player's blood is also an item and can be obtained by lightly biting a fingertip.]

[Game N: Loading...]

P.S.:

Mild horror. In other words, it's basically not scary.

Theme: Moving forward side by side.
