The World Merged After I Beat the Escape Game

[Check out my upcoming novel in the same genre, Starting from Monster City, and my sci-fi upcoming novel, The Only Ordinary Human in the Galaxy. If you're interested, head to my author page and add them to your collection =3=]

Blurb:

The survival game's System inexplicably crashed, and Shen Qiu was lucky enough to return to reality.

Time in the real world had gone back to the moment before she entered the game. The peaceful life felt like something from another lifetime.

Then her phone vibrated, and a synthetic mechanical voice rang out across the globe.

[Dear players, the System has returned after an upgrade. The full-scale survival game is now open for public testing! New version, new maps. Have fun!]

Only then did Shen Qiu suddenly realize that the survival game she'd been taken away to play was the beta version.

At the same time, she was bound to a System, which opened with:

[Player identified as a minor...]

Shen Qiu: What? I just had my coming-of-age ceremony yesterday!

[According to the average lifespan of creatures in the universe, adulthood begins at twenty. In theory, Host is still a juvenile. The Minor Protection System cannot be discarded or unbound. It is permanently bound!]

Shen Qiu: In simple terms, you're forcing me into this deal?

[Correct.]

There was once a legendary player in the game. Her name had topped the leaderboard for nearly five years, but she disappeared after the game and reality merged.

Everyone guessed she had died while being hunted by countless monsters.

In the second year of the apocalypse, after natural disasters struck and monsters ran rampant, humanity was losing ground in its war against them.

It seemed only a matter of time before the world ended.

In some corner of the world, Shen Qiu blew out her birthday candles.

Everyone's phones vibrated at once.

[Welcome legendary player Shen Qiu back to the game!]

A new round of the game had begun.

You cannot escape. You cannot escape.

Dear monsters, this time, it's your turn to run for your lives.

Reading Guide:

1. The setting is entirely fictional. Please don't compare it to the real world.

2. Strong female lead √. Starts off instantly overpowering everyone and everything ×

3. There is a romance, but not much.

4. Updates guaranteed three times a day. I'll try for four or five, and six or ten thousand characters a day will have to wait until I finish my degree (just kidding).
