A Newbie Evil God Is Open for Business [Infinite]

[Pre-serialization notice: Center Stage: Funeral or Debut? [Infinite]. Blurb at the end!]

#They all think I'm prey, but I'm the hunter with a knife#

Shen Xin suffers from severe claustrophobia, yet she spent fifteen years living in a tiny cabinet.

The first time she hid in the cabinet, at the age of three, her father threatened her mother's life to force her to come out.

That day, she was tied to an altar. A blade cut open her skull, limbs, chest, and abdomen, and seven soul seeds were planted inside her.

As she lay on the verge of death, she heard:

Lu Dao: "Honey, it's your turn to choose. You die, or Xin Xin dies?"

Shen Xin didn't die. She became prey in the eyes of countless hunters.

Rumor had it that Lu Dao had hidden seven divine seeds inside his daughter Shen Xin. Whoever obtained her would be one step closer to godhood.

Countless hunters and players went mad for her. They made Shen Xin their target and launched a grand hunt.

Forced to the center of the maelstrom, Shen Xin picked up a knife and calmly looked around. "Who wants to die?"

No one reacted. A dying prey's struggle meant nothing to them.

They continued to place their pieces on her, plotting and strategizing.

The stakes grew higher and higher.

More and more people joined the game.

A strange, seductive smile appeared on Shen Xin's face.

"Once you're in the game, your life or death is decided."

"Once the piece is played, there's no taking it back. Don't even think of escaping."

"I'm going to kill every last one of you!"

Only when the butcher's blade in Shen Xin's hand kissed their necks

Did they begin to review the game:

What wrong turn had they taken

To make this delicate flower into the sick, unhinged, evil-god-like woman she was now?

Feeling the soul seeds awakening within her, Shen Xin realized

That every soul-seed world she had experienced was a divine authority belonging to an evil god,

That every person she had saved was her most loyal follower and devotee,

And that she had long since become the sick, unhinged evil god who was actively doing business, as people called her.

Shen Xin's Evil God Labels:

1. Anyone who harms me has to die.

2. When I cry, I'm faking it.

3. When I say I'll kill you, I mean it.

Reader's Guide:

1. The worldbuilding is very vague. Please don't compare it to reality.

2. The focus is on the plot and the heroine's growth.

3. The heroine is rather soft in the first few chapters. After the first instance, she becomes a cool big sister who's a little unhinged and yandere, and decisive in killing.

4. The heroine changes her surname to her mother's.

5. The heroine shines on her own. The male lead comes later, and his appearance will be announced.

6. Characters' values do not represent the author's values.

Pre-serialization: Center Stage: Funeral or Debut? [Infinite]

Blurb:

[Welcome to the Infinite Talent Show. Would you like to be buried, ]

[Or make your debut?]

The year Blue Star joined the Alliance, a mandatory talent show for the entire population was grandly held.

As a new contestant chosen by the show, you have the right to select one of the following highlights and display it in your opening performance:

A. Stunning beauty

B. Exceptional talent

C. Irresistible intelligence

D. A tragic background (choose with care)

You Ying looked at the options before her and chose D without hesitation.

Why D?

Because she didn't have any of A, B, or C.

And so,

In the opening performance's CG,

Inside a vintage yet luxurious castle,

A beautiful woman sat on a flower-filled balcony.

An easel stood in front of her, with a freshly painted flower on it.

You could almost smell its fragrance through the screen.

Below the castle, hordes of zombies were baring their teeth and claws.

Yet You Ying smiled and greeted the empty air:

"I'm You Ying. Nice to meet you."

-*- A Little Scene with the Star -*-

Serious Reporter: You Ying, could you tell everyone why you chose D for your opening performance?

You Ying, blushing: "I'm terribly sorry. I have a disorder that affects my self-perception."

Angry Audience: "Bullshit! When you were tearing zombies apart and running circles around the other cast members, you didn't seem to have any problem recognizing yourself!"

Theme: Face setbacks bravely and become a better version of yourself.
