In the Cyber Age, the Underworld Game Ascends to Godhood

[Complete. The main text was revised before completion, so please read the authorized version on the official site.]

Xu Yiliu is the ruler of the underworld, known as the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

In the endless 996 work grind, gaming is her only pastime. Her dream is to retire and spend all day playing games. After Xu Yiliu happily takes a nap on the day of her retirement, she wakes up in the interstellar era, tens of millions of years in the future. She has become Xie Liu, a cannon-fodder orphan who just lost a family inheritance battle in a single second, was expelled from the Federation's home planet by the Sacred Fir Group, and was "exiled" to a remote star system.

The Sacred Fir Group is the Federation's largest interstellar corporation, as well as a powerful financial conglomerate feared throughout the universe.

Her half-brother, Xie Yin, has won a sweeping victory in the battle for the shares.

The news reports that his future wealth will be equal to that of the King of the Federation.

Xu Yiliu: Fine, I'll leave. It's not as if I'm interested in being emperor in the land of the living.

She promptly switches back to her mother's surname and calls herself Xu Yiliu.

Not long afterward, an independent game developer emerges in the universe.

Unlike the mech combat games that dominate the market, she specializes in genres that the people of the interstellar age have never seen before.

Management simulation: Two Point Underworld

"What do I do if I sent too many souls into the animal realm in my first playthrough?"

"I've been conned by a wicked soul trying to be reborn again and again!"

"Hire vengeful spirits to work for you, then send them all off to be reborn the day before payday to save on wages. Is that a legitimate use of a bug?"

Raising sim: Little Ghost Dream Factory

"Haha, the ghost I raised made me rich."

"I quit the game for half a month, then got a call from an evil spirit in the middle of the night. It scared the life out of me!"

"If you have bad intentions and use little ghosts to do evil, you can't get the happy ending. Don't believe me? Try it yourself."
