[Coming soon: Welcome to Game City. Synopsis at the bottom]
Nan Shao is a wizard who transmigrates into another world as a notorious minor celebrity.
He discovers that his staff has transmigrated with him, too, and is lying peacefully in an art museum. To get it back, Nan Shao grinds away at odd jobs.
He takes a spot on a variety show where he's supposed to get criticized, playing the lazy, gluttonous foil. His manager says he only has to follow the script to get paid, so Nan Shao decides to lie flat. With the camera shoved in his face, he waits for the insults to pour in.
Unexpectedly, a mirage monster crawls into his room. The livestream chat erupts, and the viewers wish they could reach through the screen and shake him awake.
Nan Shao rolls over and slaps the monster on the head. It sinks into the ground and disappears. Nan Shao yawns and goes back to sleep.
Livestream viewers: !!!?? S-rank Alpha?
In this world, mirage monsters are everywhere. Only an Alpha whose mental power is channeled through a special artifact can hurt them, and only an S-rank Alpha can hurt them without one.
Nan Shao is taken straight to a medical center for another test. The final conclusion: he's a bottom-tier D-rank. The monster happened to burrow back underground for some unknown reason as he rolled over, and the visual error made everyone think he'd beaten it back.
Nan Shao scoffs: "That little thing? I'd be doing it a favor by slapping it. You think I can't beat it?"

When the mirage monster horde arrives,
Nan Shao lifts the chin of Lu Simou, head of some big-shot organization whose mental power is on the brink of running wild. "Hey, taking advantage of your predicament here, but how about I save you in exchange for half your fortune?"
Unexpectedly, an Alpha whose mental power is out of control may go berserk and mark another Alpha.
Nan Shao doesn't dislike the feeling. After a thousand years of loneliness, he feels as though he's found an amusing new toy.
He strokes the ends of Lu Simou's hair, his voice gentle and indulgent. "Be good. Easy."

Welcome to Game City
[Administration Bureau employee X dungeon Bosses] Episodic stories
An employee from the Pure Romance Division of the Space-Time Administration Bureau takes a horror mission because of a System bug. Mission ID: Game City.
The employee must repair Game City's corrupted core data and restore the world to normal.
Game City was originally a fully featured metaverse game. Players could experience a 1:1 recreation of real life as well as all kinds of supernatural games.
After a serious data error struck Game City, players could no longer log out, and every game turned into a murder game.
The investigation finds that Game City's core data is located in five dungeons. Once all five are repaired, Game City will return to normal...
Dungeon One: Researcher X Professor
Ye Qingxu used to work for the Horror Division. Tired of fighting and killing, he transferred to the Pure Romance Division. As its leader, he chooses the hardest dungeon.
He thinks that his years of experience will make the mission a breeze, but the first time he sees the Boss, his sanity plummets. He kisses that cool, handsome face...
Dungeon Two: Volunteer X Boss disguised as a child
Shen Shuyan is doing a Horror Division mission for the first time. His leader told him these missions were simple: just kill the Boss.
But he searches for ages and can't find the Boss.
One day, he sees the child he's raised with his own hands turn into a man and kill a dungeon monster with his bare hands.
Before he can react, the man pulls him into his arms.
"Brother, please don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Dungeon Three: Trainee X Dance Instructor
Su Feiran is hopelessly looks-obsessed. The first time he sees the Boss, he can't move.
Who says you have to kill the Boss? Why not guide him down the right path?
Su Feiran (winking): "Teacher, I can't bend down. Can you help me?"
Dungeon Four: Fiancee X Lord (ABO)
"He is a young and promising lord, powerful and influential. In his previous life, his fiance and his mistress killed him. He hates lies and despises betrayal. Now reborn, he'll kill every traitor, cheater, and liar."
Cheng Yicheng, the "fiancee": O.O "What the heck, how am I supposed to play a rebirth story?!"
Dungeon Five: Actor X Director
"This is a large film set. The director assigns everyone a role, and everyone must act it out properly. Anyone who goes out of character will be eliminated at midnight."
Tao Mimi sneaks up behind the Boss with a little knife. The Boss turns around, and Tao Mimi is so scared that the knife falls from their hand.
Tao Mimi QAQ: "D-Director, would you like an apple? I can peel it for you. Just one..."
