After getting out of prison, unemployed drifter Ye Liu entered the hottest game of the moment, The Sixth Continent, to make money.
As soon as she entered the game, the System greeted her cheerfully, then laid out seventy-eight tarot cards for her to draw.
"Hello, player. Please draw a card. The System will also calculate your talent as you draw. If you draw one of the rare Major Arcana, it means you're well suited to this game. There's only one card that's an exception..."
Ye Liu picked one at random and turned it over. Seeing the tower depicted on it, she raised an eyebrow.
The System froze, then stiffly finished what it had been saying: "That card is the Tower."
-
"Why?" Ye Liu asked calmly.
The System looked at the second player to draw the Tower since the game launched, then thought back to the first player who had drawn it and their current condition. For a moment, it stammered.
The Tower card grants a limited boost to attributes, but it also makes a player's mental strain and corruption rise rapidly, while doubling the damage they take. In short, it means certain death. The only question is when.
After hearing the System's explanation, Ye Liu smiled brightly and pointed to her temple.
"By damage, do you mean pain?"
"As it happens, there's something wrong here. I can't feel it."
-
In the beginner instance, the "spectators" looked at Ye Liu's slender frame, pale face, and "certain death" card, and scoffed.
The odds against Ye Liu making it out alive were astronomical, let alone the odds of betting on her to get the highest score. The prize money was practically beyond counting.
Three days later, Ye Liu left the instance with the highest score, pocketing five million and rising one hundred thousand places in the world rankings.
-
Her "lack of pain" seemed like a cheat skill. Ye Liu cleared one instance after another, earning enough for her "master" to buy three islands.
One day, after victory followed victory, she stood before her beaming "master" and slit his throat with a knife.
Her silver-gray eyes fixed on the utterly shocked man as if he were garbage. "One life for three years of wrongful imprisonment. I got the short end of the deal."
Then she looked toward the virtual audience seats where countless "spectators" sat and curled her lips into a slight smile.
You're next.

After holding the top spot on the world rankings for too long, Xie Se thought The Sixth Continent and its three hundred thousand players were nothing special.
Then a black-haired, silver-eyed woman appeared, having drawn the "certain death" card from the start. Her decisive way of thinking and fighting caught his attention.
He watched her. A month later, she made it into the game's top ten. Two weeks after that, she took down the former second-place player, then sent a team-up invitation to him, the number one.
Xie Se felt the game was finally getting interesting.
A slightly crazy heroine who can't feel pain x A hero who was number one in the original world rankings and unknowingly turns into her biggest fan
Reading Guide:
1. The heroine was wrongfully imprisoned. Clearing instances and leveling up are also part of her gradual revenge.
2. You can tell from the blurb that the hero appears a little late, but he's already been secretly watching the heroine for a long time!
Theme: As heaven moves forward with vigor, a gentleman should strive ceaselessly to strengthen himself.
