Wen Shichun, a solitary special agent, accidentally gets caught up in a place the task force calls the Eleventh Dimension while investigating a case.

This place is home not only to lucky souls who can travel freely between two worlds, but also to quite a few “familiar faces” who vanished from the human world long ago

Familiar faces!

Yan Li of the King's District is the master of Zone Ten, the tenth of the Eleven Dimension's ten regions, and a figure who strikes terror into the hearts of countless players. By sheer luck, Wen Shichun runs into him and watches this stern, fearsome man, who has everyone else trembling, turn to look at him

In an instant, the man gazes at him with eyes full of wounded, helpless restraint.

Wen Shichun's brow twitches. “...Who are you?”

A supposedly lonely, amnesiac little one steadily fights to survive in a terrifying game with an abysmal survival rate:

While other players clutch their heads and wail, “This is too scary!”

Wen Shichun nods in agreement. “Yeah, it's terrifying... being chased by people who all insist they're my family.”

The master of Zone One, with the highest death rate: “Come here, little brother. It's safe with me.”

The master of Zone Two, known for the quickest kills: “Little brother, I'm your long-lost brother. If you don't believe me, we can do a quantum paternity test.”

The master of Zone Seven, where countless players are rumored to go willingly to their deaths: “Xiao Chun, ignore them. Your big brother will take you to heaven.”

Wen Shichun: “...”

Yan Li reaches out. “Wife, don't be afraid. Come to me.”

Looking at all the hands reaching toward him,

Wen Shichun falls silent. “Thanks, but this is even scarier.”

Fortunately, a new Zone Eleven appears, disrupting the existing order. He'll make the most of the chaos and do his best to live long enough to see tomorrow's sun!

Advance notice for the author's next novel, The God Selection Game [Infinite]:

I was born in the poorest, twenty-seventh district of Blue Star.

My brother and I grew up here. Our residents rank last in happiness, while our crime rate stays near the top. Still, you could just about call it a peaceful place with simple folk.

But after my brother and I spent 3,657 days gnawing on black bread as hard as stone, he came home one day with a loaf of white bread. Watching me swallow it cautiously, he asked,

“Little bro, would you like to eat more white bread?”

I thought my brother had gone crazy. After all, compared to me, my big brother, the one who'd always looked after me, was the real ruthless one.

But reality proved wilder than anything I could imagine:

My brother entered the 106th God Selection Game, and won, becoming Blue Star's newest supreme administrator.

Me: “...”

All roads lead to Rome. Some people are born in Rome, while others get there thanks to their big brother.

That's how I ended up living in the Administrative District.

The Administrative District was wonderful: blue skies, white clouds, clear waters, and more white bread than I could count. Everything was just as I'd dreamed.

Until five years later, a group of people stormed into my home and told me, with a lofty air:

My brother was dead.

The man smiled like a victor and asked gently:

“‘God’ no longer favors you, ”

“Trash belongs where trash belongs, doesn't it?”

*

I was trash, and I was sent back to District 27.

After losing my brother, I drifted through life in a daze, rotting away in the most remote place as I waited to die.

Then one day, I remembered that loaf of white bread.

The first loaf of white bread my brother had shared with me.

Soft and fluffy. My brother had given me most of it, watching me finish it with nothing but tenderness.

It was the best thing I'd ever eaten.

I entered the 107th God Selection Game.

The day I won, the new administrator's scepter was placed in my hands.

I announced my first decree:

[District 27 will become the new Administrative District]
