It's been a year since Sunset on the Long Road Home launched, and no one has beaten it yet.
Its punishing difficulty once earned it a huge following beyond the gaming community, but it also drove away players until no one paid it any attention.
The game's bosses are simply impossible to beat. No matter who a player tries to conquer, the boss will kill them before they get far. And if the player chooses to conquer the boss, the boss will stab them several more times.
One day, longtime players of Sunset on the Long Road Home came across a video series on the biggest gaming video site. It was titled The Double-Personality Boss: A Perfect Conquest Guide, and new episodes were still coming out.
The star of the videos was named Xu Yiyun.
After thinking for a long time, the longtime players remembered that this was the NPC city lord who couldn't decide whether to side with the hero's party or the villainous boss. In the end, the heroes stabbed him, and then the boss finished him off.
Then they noticed the title of the video: Episode One: Join the Hero's Party!
Conquer the main villain? Join the hero's party?
Seriously, what kind of game are you playing?

Xu Yiyun, the city lord of a backwater town, had recently run into all sorts of strange things.
First, four well-dressed young men and women came to exorcise ghosts, claiming that his city lord's manor was haunted.
Not long after, a strange creature calling itself the System forcibly bound itself to him, then made ten images appear in front of him and insisted he choose one to conquer.
He didn't recognize any of them, so Xu Yiyun chose based on looks, picking the one who seemed gentlest and easiest to conquer.
The man had a slight smile on his lips and lowered eyes. He was gentle and handsome, with a melancholy, tender look.
No doubt about it, he was definitely a good person.
That evening, Xu Yiyun followed the System's instructions and went to meet his conquest target.
His target was standing at the pier under an umbrella.
Remembering the overwhelming melancholy and weariness of the world that had radiated from him in the image, Xu Yiyun was certain he was about to kill himself.
Xu Yiyun rushed over to save the vulnerable young man, but charged too fast and knocked his conquest target straight into the surging river.
That day, Xu Yiyun was stared down by his conquest target, who was sneezing while squeezing his neck. The man's expression was so grim and cold that Xu Yiyun was left utterly bewildered.

System: I forgot to tell you. Your conquest target has a double personality.
Xu Yiyun: Huh?
System: Oh, and he's the villainous boss who will kill you before long.
Xu Yiyun: ...QAQ
So, is this really someone he can conquer?
