[Obsession Game starting up. Welcome, everyone who died young!]

One day, a book fell out of the sky and hit Gu Huai, bringing her to Obsession City.

Here, everyone has an obsession item unique to them, and these items fall into two categories: the Knowledge Side and the Power Side.

People on the Knowledge Side are fiendishly clever, and after death they become puzzle-solving instances. People on the Power Side are strong enough to lift a cauldron, and after death their instances become battle royales. The two sides are at each other's throats, each looking down on the other.

Gu Huai's obsession item is an encyclopedia.

It has only two abilities: one is to hit people, and the other... is to become a god through faith.

The world of obsessions is perilous, but to find her older brother, Gu Huai has to disguise herself as a sweet, delicate, helpless Knowledge Side player. Yet for some reason, people keep mistaking her for a powerhouse and looking up to her.

A new number-one player appeared in Obsession City. According to rumors, she was delicate and frail, carrying a book in one hand and gasping for breath after every few steps.

At first, everyone dismissed her, thinking the so-called number one was nothing but a parasitic vine dependent on others. People on the Power Side were especially convinced, since in their eyes, Knowledge Side players were always like that. At most, she was unbelievably lucky.

That was until a strange saying began to spread through the various Obsession Cities: "Believe in Gu, and you'll turn danger into safety." Anyone on either side who heard Gu Huai's name would turn from enemy to ally. Rumors soon followed:

The last heir of a family of gods presented the number one player with a crystal ball.

A young master from a matriarchal world publicly declared his love for the number one player.

The leader of an organization that despised gods bowed his proud head to her...

Everyone who came into contact with Gu Huai became a fervent believer, until they watched her walk into the black fog at the center and ascend to the divine throne.

Only then did they realize that the so-called number one player wasn't a parasitic vine at all, but the new god of the world of obsessions!

A friend made the cover for me. Thank you so much!!!

Content warnings:

1. My take on infinite-flow fiction, with simple writing. The Knowledge Side and the Power Side are my own setting and an idea of mine. If it's not your thing, please don't force yourself to keep reading.

2. No competition between women. The female lead's love interest is undecided, but the female lead will definitely be the strongest!!

3. No outline. I'll make it up as I go, but the main plot will always be about the female lead and her brother. They aren't related by blood; she was adopted.

4. The female lead grows over time and won't be very strong from the start. The first instance isn't very polished either.

5. I'll consider good suggestions, including adding more scenes for a particular male supporting character.

6. The story has fourteen cities based on the Seven Virtues: loyalty, hope, generosity, justice, perseverance, temperance, and frugality; and the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Inspired by Baidu.

Theme: Where there's a will, there's a way.
