I Heard I'm the King of the Otherworldly Species?

[Work has been so busy this year that I haven't had time to update. It's no good to keep dragging this out, so I'll update this one more slowly after unlocking the chapters, qaq.]

Yiguang's coworker recommended a full-dive game called All Players Escape. From the start, players were randomly given a race, which they couldn't change.

You might get a forest elf, a golden dragon, a griffin beastman, a deep-sea merfolk, or even a demon or an angel. It all depended on your luck.

Yiguang drew: [Phoenix]

Her heart leaped. The race sounded pretty impressive. But as soon as she entered the game, she found herself strapped to a metal-framed bed while a group of people in white coats injected her with several doses of some strange drug.

Her health bar hit zero. She died right from the start.

When she regained consciousness, Yiguang found that a starship had dropped her at a garbage dump. Her body had shrunk to the size of a hatchling, and through a strange twist of fate, she ended up in the infamous alien prison on that planet.

Inside the prison, wet, sticky tentacles slid past like snakes. Huge compound eyes opened and closed, and sharp limbs stretched longer than an adult's legs.

Little hatchling Yiguang: "..."

Fine, then. Escape.

As long as I get out, everything will be okay, right?

But after Yiguang successfully escaped from prison, she was shocked to discover that the game hadn't ended. The game world was still running, as though it were an unknown, real dimension.

Even more shocking, some people who died in the game also died for no apparent reason in the real world.

In reality, a coworker sent to investigate the game mysteriously disappeared. Before vanishing, they left a coded message saying there was a mole in the investigation bureau.

Her superiors ordered her to investigate and promised that if she found and eliminated the mole, she would be hired as a full-time employee instead of an outside contractor, with six months of paid leave to boot.

Contract worker Yiguang: I'm in!

If reality and the game might be connected, then she would start with the game.

Every time the phoenix died alongside an opponent, it could refine and absorb their power.

Yiguang kept dying and getting back up, quickly making a name for herself. A string of admirers who respected strength began trailing behind her.

The major factions all began courting her, including a powerful, shadowy organization hidden in the mists, suspected of operating covertly in the real world.

Now for the question: How was she supposed to tactfully tell her boss that the mole's organization wanted to poach her with a high salary and make her one of its leaders?

Reader's Guide:

1. The female lead is not exactly noble and righteous.

2. Includes instances in the infinite-flow genre, but they aren't too frequent.

3. The early chapters have a short introduction to the real world. The story doesn't jump straight into the game.

Theme: Have the courage to seize every opportunity
