A wildly popular cosmic-horror tabletop role-playing game in full-dive VR has developed a fatal bug
Seven billion people around the globe are randomly selected and forced to log in, where they must struggle to survive dangerous puzzle dungeons and the clutches of various evil gods.
Lalai, one of the original evil gods, joins this game of plunder after a century of slumber.
However...
Lalai stares at the quest panel before her, lost in thought: Me? An original evil god? A player?
Fine, fine, so that’s how we’re playing. Just you wait.
*
Lalai is a complete newbie who’s a hundred years out of date. She knows nothing in the dungeons, making the other players light candles for her in their hearts:
She’s a pretty nice lady, but I guess she’s gonna die pretty soon.
The dungeons are full of danger and all manner of strange phenomena. Just as the players are on their knees writing their last wills, Lalai suddenly gets it and grabs the boss by the throat of fate: So this is how you play the game, right?
Players: ...?
Players: You’re making us look like idiots.
*
To gain greater power, the evil gods spare no effort in opening dungeons and luring in humans, striving to break into the top ten on the Evil God Faith Leaderboard.
The leaderboard refreshes every day, and one inconspicuous name rockets up from the bottom, gradually climbing to a position the other evil gods can only dream of!
The evil gods: Who’s that? I’ve never seen her open a dungeon!
"Beep-beep. Dungeon boss annihilated. This dungeon is permanently closed."
"Have a great time in your future games!"
Lalai nods politely as she leaves the dungeon: The fewer people ahead of me, the higher my ranking.
[A seemingly delicate and beautiful evil god heroine who plays the pig to eat the tiger, beautiful, strong, and miserable × a rich second-generation male lead with a wide variety of skills, all of them mediocre]
[Dungeon One: Pretty High School]
At this school, "pretty" means justice, but the prettiest person... is also the most unfortunate.
[Dungeon Two: Ghost Umbrella Town]
[Dungeon Three: How to Become a Doctor?]
[Dungeon Four: Torik Peninsula]
[Dungeon Five: Lost R'lyeh]
Note:
1. The heroine enters the dungeons as a player. The reason will be explained later.
2. The infinite-flow dungeon mechanics are based on Call of Cthulhu-style tabletop role-playing. Players’ actions are determined by dice rolls, with a few original rules. The author promises you’ll understand it! P.S. I might use real dice rolls.
3. The heroine has reasonable reasons for competing the way she does. Under normal circumstances, eliminating your competitors is not advisable.
4. There’s a romance in this story, but the heroine has more to her than love. She is an independent person who will also gain precious friendships and more.
Upcoming: "After My Inner Voice Leaks, I Save the Stars with Prophecy"
Luo Tan transmigrates into a space opera she once read.
The novel’s world has highly advanced technology, and everyone lives in peace and prosperity. In short, it’s perfect for lying flat and waiting to die.
But then a System appears in her mind.
The System tells her a bug has appeared in the world, bringing one disaster after another, and her mission is to fix the bugs.
Luo Tan is furious: I start out in a slum, with no rice in the pot! You expect me to fix bugs!
So she lies flat.
.
Less than five minutes into lying flat, Luo Tan shakily turns to the first chapter to see what the first bug is.
[While a gang of street thugs are fighting on Chishui Street, one of them accidentally steps on a manhole cover. It falls in, waking a slumbering space monster, which breathes fire and engulfs all of Chishui Street?]
What even is this? It really is a bug!
A city maintenance worker looks up in shock. Did they discover that the manhole cover was made with shoddy materials?
In the sky, hovercars stop one after another, and countless drivers stick their heads out. Where’s the monster?
Outside, the gang leader, busy throwing punches in a brawl, twists his ankle and stares at the manhole cover beside him in disbelief. Could I have caused this?
Half an hour later, the manhole cover is surrounded and thoroughly secured.
Luo Tan: Huh, the bug’s gone? This really is a bug-ridden world. Even the System is full of bugs!
Just as everyone outside is about to breathe a sigh of relief, they hear that familiar inner voice:
[Let’s see what the next bug is!]
Everyone faints.
.
Before long, Luo Tan is surprised to find mysterious lost items appearing outside her front door.
First, a bag of rice.
Then, a box of fruit.
And after that, a box of precious gems worth a fortune.
She carries the stuff around, asking every neighbor if it belongs to them. They all shake their heads and say it isn’t theirs.
Luo Tan taps the System’s cybernetic head. This space age is so nice. Supplies just keep popping up everywhere.
The neighbors secretly shake their heads with fond sympathy.
The Goddess is having such a hard time. Everyone should help her out!
Theme: Even when you’re in the abyss, keep your heart turned toward the light.
I can't believe it. Just reading the text makes me feel that Li Zhen is so greasy.
This male protagonist is really greasy, and it's very annoying that the female protagonist doesn't like him and he still rubs her hard against him.
Why does it feel a little greasy?
The classic start of gangster + couple, I'm tired of watching it
Because the male protagonist abandoned the book, I really feel that the male protagonist has no sense of propriety, and he feels too superior and is indeed hypocritical. I don't think the female protagonist will like such a boy. For those who have strong abilities and have been hurt, I personally have a firm belief, remain kind but not holy, and act decisively. Only boys who act decisively will be more appreciated by the evil gods, and thus develop feelings ~ rather than relying on being clever? Some artificial acting styles will suddenly make the female protagonist think of old things, which will elicit emotions and then transform into feelings.
The heroine... Uh, what's going on? Soaked in oil
The male protagonist is greasy and unlikable, the female protagonist is well designed and seems to have a hidden agenda, and the writing is fluent. If you don't count the male protagonist, it's a 7/10, but if you count the male protagonist, it's a 5/10.
The male protagonist, Li, huh? Girl? Are you serious?
The protagonist sees a young couple dancing, but the young couple sits on the sidelines and sees the protagonist dancing?
Special forces dinner party_(:з∠)_
