Players Behind the Scenes [Sci-Fi]

Yu Lan died, and only after her death did she learn that she was an NPC in a full-dive game: a vain gold-digger, the game's most famous and widely cursed "femme fatale."

They were supposed to live out their lives in this world as usual, but "players" could indulge in killing for fun, reveling in the thrill of playing creator.

The awakened NPCs formed an alliance. Yu Lan had to win over the notorious game designer A, famous for purging "the awakened," and obtain a thorny path that could lead them out of this blood-red Garden of Eden.

Just like in real life, Designer A's character was a handsome, cold-hearted man.

Dressed in vintage hunting clothes, with a Colt 1860 revolver in his pocket and a pipe clenched between his teeth, he was thinking about how to purge the few "awakened" ones named by the "company."

Then a hand with red nail polish landed on his shoulder.

The femme fatale, famed for her beauty and cunning, stood behind him, radiantly alluring, and said:

"Sir... could I borrow a cigarette?"

A knew from the start that she was a devious, scheming woman.

He watched her struggle from above, yet couldn't help being drawn in.

So when Yu Lan later drove that dagger into his heart, he was consumed by agony.

"Some roses are covered in thorns, yet people still can't help picking them for their fragrance."
