In the third year after Shen Ziyu was diagnosed with cancer, as he lay dying, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The voice told him that as long as he survived the horror game and successfully cleared it, he would be able to make a full recovery.
Shen Ziyu chose to enter the game without hesitation. The moment he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
The people around him were sizing one another up, and none of them looked at him with much friendliness.
He was certainly handsome, but he looked so pale and gaunt that it was obvious he was sickly. Just walking left him panting, and every so often he coughed.
When everyone checked the game panel, they were stunned: a pure, 24-karat newbie! Wasn't he just going to drag them down? At this rate, they wouldn't even need the dungeon monsters to kill him. He might just drop dead on his own.
Nobody paid him any attention, until he led them all safely out of the dungeon and back to the game lobby...
Everyone: What just happened?
The players watching the whole thing on the livestream were even more stunned. "What's going on? Did I just see that wrong? Did the dungeon monster just lower its head so he could pet it? And whisper something in his ear? Since when did dungeon monsters get so tame?"
Everyone watched as the sickly-looking man, whom they had thought might not survive two days in the dungeon, soon made it onto the leaderboard of top Infinite Flow players. After that, his ranking rose at an astonishing speed.
For a while, everyone was left dumbfounded...
After that, they discovered that the terrifying tentacled monster in Heart of the Ocean, the murderous coal creature in Hell's Coal Mine, the vicious merfolk in the mermaid dungeon, the terrifying dolls in the doll dungeon, and the zombie king in the zombie dungeon...
Every one of the monsters seemed to favor him especially. Whenever they looked at him, their eyes brimmed with a love so intense it could drown anyone who met their gaze. Yet beneath that adoration lurked a chilling greed and obsession, along with a possessiveness that could drive anyone mad.
Everyone was both envious and afraid, but Shen Ziyu seemed not to care at all.
Until the day he cleared the game, when the Evil God appeared in person, right before him...
