Yan Pinglan stayed up late working on assignments in her dorm when she was inexplicably swallowed by a horror-game instance.
The monsters' plan was foolproof. They would appear behind her and watch her from every angle until her nerves gave out, then invade her dreams and devour her.
Step one of the plan: appear behind her.
The moment she realized someone was behind her, Yan Pinglan's mind went blank. Acting on reflex, she grabbed the dumbbell beside her and swung it back at them...
She swung again and again, smashing the thing to pieces.
System: [...]
System: [Congratulations, player! You have cleared the beginner instance in 0:23, setting a new record for the fastest clear!]
Yan Pinglan: ...?
Yan Pinglan: What the heck?
To get back to reality and finish her assignments, Yan Pinglan carried around the dumbbell equipment bound to her and diligently fought monsters and cleared levels in the horror world.
Whether it was a stalker's vengeful spirit, a nightmare serial killer, or an ancient god from a remote village, her answer was always the same: swing first!
Yan Pinglan lowered her weapon, cheerfully wiped blood from her face, then laughed in exasperation.
What am I supposed to do? There's not a single opponent who can put up a fight. This is so terrifying!
The other players in the instance trembled: ...Sis, when you say "terrifying," do you mean yourself?
"Hmm?"
Yan Pinglan picked up her bloodstained dumbbell and smiled pleasantly.
"What did you just say about me?"
Players and monsters: ...Nothing, nothing! We didn't say anything!
*Pure power fantasy, with a badass female lead who smashes her way through an endless stream of instances.
Theme: Face challenges bravely and fearlessly.
