[It'll be another three months before the paywall is removed. I'm falling apart QAQ]
Jiang Mian suffers from severe hypersomnia. He can fall into a deep sleep without warning, and his greatest wish is to be a lazy fish, lying around peacefully for the rest of his life.
One day, he is accidentally drawn into an infinite horror game where he must identify the real culprit to survive.
At a blood-soaked crime scene, the victim suddenly "comes back to life," turning a murder mystery game into a battle royale. As the players struggle to escape, Jiang Mian closes his eyes and peacefully collapses at the victim's feet.
Victim NPC: Who knew I'd get so lucky?
Other players: He's done for!
The snarling victim lunges at him. Without even opening his eyes, the sleeping man snaps its monstrous hand with a crack.
Victim NPC: ???
Other players: !!!
When Jiang Mian wakes up again, he finds himself holding the NPC's head. His face turns pale with fright, and he stammers out an explanation: "S-sorry, I was sleepwalking. C-can I put it back on?"
Other players: Holy crap, don't come near us!
[Players, vote to identify the real culprit and execute them.]
Jiang Mian receives every vote.
Jiang Mian has a secret nobody knows.
The person in his dreams looks exactly like the infamous "Living Yama."
They say that man is capricious: he can lead everyone to safety when all hope seems lost, or send an innocent person to their death without blinking.
One day, Jiang Mian wakes up to find himself sharing a bed with that man.
The handsome man is bare-chested, with a fresh bite mark on his shoulder, and gazes at Jiang Mian with an amused look.
Jiang Mian blinks: Oh no, I think I slept with someone I shouldn't have.
Later, he discovers that he really can lie around peacefully until the game ends.

Upcoming novel: "The Mission Is to Destroy the Cyber World" (also known as "The Four-Dimensional Forbidden Zone")
Question: What's it like to hit the jackpot and win a set of high-end gaming gear, then become the first beta tester for a full-dive cyber game?
Shi Yu: Thanks for asking. I'm at home and just logged out. You want to know what it's like?
This game sucks. Even a dog wouldn't play it!
I start in the slums, with nowhere to live and no money. I almost have to sell myself in the red-light district. They give me a gun and expect me to rob a bank, then cause a huge disturbance. Do they think the Federal Police are pushovers?
Overthrow the corporations' rule? OK.
Lead the rebels to establish a new government? OJBK.
Sleep with the military's supreme commander? O... wait?
And now they want me to destroy the cyber world...
On the first day after Shi Yu comes home from the psychiatric hospital, he receives a strange scam text.
[Congratulations! You've been selected to beta test the full-dive online game "The Four-Dimensional Forbidden Zone." We'll provide your gaming equipment for free. Reply R to confirm receipt.]
Shi Yu: RRR
The next day, Shi Yu finds a huge package at his door.
A high-tech gaming pod, a highly sensitive haptic suit, and a full-dive display headset, all designed to give you the most realistic gaming experience.
Shi Yu loads into the game.
Character One: A drifter from the Lower City.
Objective: Survive and complete the tasks issued by the System.
Shi Yu is unlucky. Just after completing a side quest, he runs straight into the military's supreme commander, who chases him for five blocks.
He stands on the edge of a skyscraper, with an abyss stretching behind him. The wind lifts the hem of the commander's black uniform. His gray eyes are cold as he closes in, step by step.
Shi Yu smiles and says seriously: "This might sound presumptuous, but I feel like I've slept with you somewhere before."
As the commander looks at him in surprise, Shi Yu grabs the gun pressed against his forehead and pulls the trigger, blowing his own head off.
[Player deceased. System is forcing logout. Bounty of 10,000 points deducted. Please select a new character and log in again.]
Character Two: An underground black-market cybernetics doctor.
Objective: Survive and complete the tasks issued by the System.
In a dark, damp underground clinic, Shi Yu is about to dissect the "junk" he just picked up from a garbage pile when familiar gray eyes fix on him. A burst of strength in the instant before death nearly crushes his wrist.
The half-dead thing is actually the supreme commander?!
The once-renowned man is covered in wounds. He's not only lost his memory, but has also become a wanted criminal of the Federation?
Shi Yu: Interesting.
Then he realizes the so-called game isn't that simple. The twisted society, collapsing order, and gruesome human cultivation program all point to a vast conspiracy unfolding around him...
Antisocial, thrill-seeking bottom x control-obsessed, insane top

I'm very sorry, dear, bow. Jpg It was so painful to write this article and I had no inspiration at all. I wanted to continue writing several times during this break, but I couldn't continue writing every time (Pain Mask) On the one hand, the reason is that I was too busy at work some time ago and my health was not good. As a result, I was very tired every day and had no mood to code at all. On the other hand, I was not prepared before starting this novel. The characters and plot were all unfamiliar, and I couldn't get into the mood. Each chapter takes a long time to write, deleting, editing, and editing. No matter how I write it, it's boring and hard to read. QAQ I originally wanted to wait until the time came to discuss with the editor to solve V, but the editor said that we should try our best to resume the update. If you can't solve it, I won't understand... I wanted to try to continue writing, but it took me three hours today to finish 1,000 words. I laughed and cried. Although I really don't want to cheat, it's painful to write hard... It's hard for everyone to be stuck in updating, so I decided to solve V. After the V-solving process is passed, the follow-up copy outline and ending will be given. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry everyone orz
Big, don't solve the V, you can change it slowly, don't be in a hurry ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Tonic wow 🥺 I'm so excited 😭
Tonic!!! It's rare to see a book that's to my liking!!! But if writing is very difficult, you can take your time!! Just don't give up!!!!!!
There are no requirements. As long as the update can be completed, you can wait for three to five years.
No need to, what a beautiful article. But you should also pay attention to your health! It's okay, I can wait! Take your time! Come on! [Spread flowers]
Write slowly, don't solve the problem. You can update it once a month at most. If not, just take a rest.
[Cat's Claw] Slow update. Please pay attention to your health. Don't be too tired. Stop and rest when you are tired and take your time.
Come on, come on, come on, I will silently cheer you up every day
Write slowly, don't rush!
