As an ordinary person caught up in an infinite game, Yan Luoshu is astonished to discover that he can open the game's editor and change its values and code.
Yan Luoshu: Wow OuO
After that, the game's chat group explodes
[Long-Haired Female Ghost]
"What's with this player? He used a model-clipping bug to go right outside the map!"
[Screenshot: Outside the invisible wall, Yan Luoshu gazes at the eerie female ghost. "Come on, hit me. You can't reach me, can you?"]
[The Duke of the Ancient Castle]
"The instance just opened and he's already challenging the BOSS? How interesting, wait! Why did he deal a hundred thousand damage with a little twig?! (horrified)"
[Stats: F-rank weapon, 'Little Twig'; base attack: 1 point; enchantments: attack x10,000, 100% critical hit, 100% accuracy, guaranteed to poison, cause bleeding, stun, paralyze, and put the target to sleep]
[Evil Spirit Mage]
"Is there no justice?! That guy changed the targeting rules and turned all the evil spirits into his teammates! (sobbing)"
[Video: A skeleton army suddenly stops halfway to its target, quietly turns around, and starts beating up the mage who summoned it.]
At last, while being hunted by the strongest BOSS, "The Eclipsed One," inside a special instance, Yan Luoshu is finally driven into a dead end.
No matter how frantically Yan Luoshu edits the code, "Their" favorability doesn't budge. It's as steady as a rock.
Black fluid creeps around his ankles, slow and cold, like viscous snakes. A slender hand presses against the back of his neck, then gently closes around it.
They lower their head slightly.
On the stats panel, an absurdly long string of digits shatters the frame: [Player "Yan Luoshu" favorability: 1239875692342345528239823748683...]
Yan Luoshu: "…"
No wonder the favorability wasn't changing! He'd maxed it out too much!
Those black digits melt into blood-red desire, winding deep into his bones and burning darkly in the eyes of the "deity."
"Why..."
They whisper, "Did you leave me behind?"
