As a minor cannon-fodder character temporarily pulled into an infinite game to fill out the numbers, Su Ainuo has a secret that even the System doesn't know:
He's not human. He's an AI.
Instance One: The Mermaid Research Institute
Everyone who enters these waters receives an invitation from a mermaid.
The creatures of the deep sea are breathtakingly beautiful, and, notably, they seem to be especially fond of Su Ainuo.
After successfully dragging its prey into the lightless depths, the obsessive monster smiles with satisfaction.
"We'll be together forever..."
Five minutes later, it and Su Ainuo, who shows no signs of oxygen deprivation whatsoever, stare at each other.
Mermaid: ...Does this guy not need to breathe?
Instance Two: The Scarecrow Forest
This forest is filled with scarecrows.
The boy with snake-like pupils has exquisite features. Whenever he tugs on Su Ainuo's clothes and acts cute, he can't help letting the blood at the corner of his mouth show.
The black moon hangs overhead, the mountains keep silent, and only the boy's laughter echoes through the forest.
"Play hide-and-seek with me one more time. If you find me, I'll let you go."
After several rounds, the snake demon watches Su Ainuo find him with perfect accuracy even with his eyes closed, and flies into a rage.
Did you install a GPS tracker on me?!
Instance Three: The Snow Child's Wedding Dress
"Shh... Don't disturb that snowflake!"
Once you put on the "wedding dress," the Snow Child will choose you, and you'll become ice, ice... in an endless blizzard.
Watching Su Ainuo's temperature remain steady at 36.5 degrees, the Snow Woman falls silent.
In every instance, Su Ainuo trembles with nerves as he tries his best to play the part of a human, terrified that the System will discover him.
Until one day, a monster from an instance captures him and takes him to a man. As Su Ainuo trembles in fear, he hears the man ask curiously:
"Why are you always trying to disguise yourself as a human?"
Su Ainuo: !!!
Oh no! How did he know?!
The little AI feels like his CPU is about to burn out.

A little reading guide:
1. The bottom stutters, lacks common sense about humans, and has a bit of a lovable-idiot beauty vibe.
2. More instances are in development. If you like it, please add it to your favorites!
