An Unknown NPC, but With a BOSS Health Bar

Complete.

Blurb:

The large-scale online VR survival game No Turning Back has launched with a bang.

Countless beta test invitations have been sent out around the world, and online discussion is soaring. But Xiang Liangyu stares at the NPC invitation in her hand, lost in thought.

After being forced to become an NPC in the game, she discovers...

It's amazing!

That is, until she notices something that looks like a health bar above her head, and sees it slowly decreasing.

Xiang Liangyu is horrified. "Aren't I an NPC?! Why do I have a health bar?!"

To stay alive in the game, she reluctantly steps outside her comfort zone and enters the dangerous main quest area. On the surface, she is an anonymous NPC who guides players and hands out quests. In reality, she becomes the monsters' lackey.

World One: Zero Island [Complete]

A cruise ship sailing around the world enters the Atlantic and encounters a once-in-a-century cyclone. All its machinery is ruined, and the waves drive it deep into the Atlantic.

"Night has fallen, traveler from afar. Please don't linger in the dense woods. Be careful not to fall into a deep pit and become a criminal's feast."

A shameless girl who lies through her teeth X a graceful, classical merman with a golden tail

.

The players realize that there seems to be a lackey among their team.

Xiang Liangyu: Fish monster bro, they're over there.

Xiang Liangyu: Native bro, they're planning something bad.

Players: Where's the report button?

World Two: Blood and Roses

Absurdity and reality intertwine, azure and darkness mirror one another. When night falls, the eyes hidden among the crowd slowly open.

"Run, when the midnight sky turns deep blue, when the savior's whispers ring out."

A pampered, hot-tempered bird of paradise X a starving werewolf who remains a perfect gentleman

.

The lackey is still there, but now she's a bird.

Xiang Liangyu looks pitiful. "I'm hungry. I'll eat a player."

Players: Are you ever going to stop?!

World Three: Murderous Campus

When the clock in the bell tower strikes seven in the evening, students must not wander around campus without permission, because the campus is no longer the same as it was during the day.

"Is the direction shown by the safety signs really safe?"

A flashy, aloof senior girl X a vampire principal who seems to have albinism

.

The lackey is getting more and more outrageous.

Xiang Liangyu is unbearably smug. "My boyfriend is the principal."

Players: You only act tough because of who you're dating!

World Four

Later, the game should have kept cycling as it always had: death, rebirth, death... But this endless game, an infinite loop of time, has left Xiang Liangyu tired of it all.

Once again, she stands against the whole world.

Only this time, she isn't alone.

Reading Guide:

1. Blue Ice Hotel is the dividing line. Before it, the story is split evenly between NPC and player perspectives. After it, there are fewer scenes from the players' perspective.

2. Each instance has a different world and setting. There are at least six instances.

3. The female lead won't die. She isn't at max level from the start, and is rather fragile early on. Her personality has two stages: 1. A modern-day young woman who still has a conscience and respects the old and cherishes the young. 2. A final boss with no conscience who does whatever she wants when annoyed.

4. Romance and plot are split evenly. The male lead has a different identity in each world. His main identity is a mermaid, and he's also a walking blood bank.

5. Place names in the story are made up at random. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
