Su Chen has a useless [Dating Roast System]. Despite being mocked by every player in the game, he scrapes by all the way to the end.
Then he discovers that the game is a complete and utter scam!
At the end of the game is no utopia, but a bizarre world ruled by all kinds of superpowered aberrations.
They were merely food being selected for the world's bosses.
As soon as the players leave the game, they are locked in a "livestock cage":
A vampire prince who elegantly sucks blood while wearing white gloves;
a deranged doctor in a suit who makes human specimens;
a brutal evil dragon who loves human sashimi; and a zombie emperor who eats human brains because he has worked so diligently... They glance at the players in the cage and casually choose tonight's dinner.
Faced with one starving predator after another, the players fight desperately to survive:
The pampered ones burst into tears. "I-I can serve you with my body!"
The lucky ones who draw well slowly raise their hands. "I can tell your fortune!"
The players with Systems say, "I can turn trash into treasure."
The former max-level powerhouses say, "I can submit to you and swear allegiance!"
The lords aren't interested in any of it!
They've seen plenty of beautiful faces, don't believe in luck, and have no need for servants or wealth. All they want is a feast.
[I'm going to die... Waaaah! Huh? Is that vampire trying to seduce the evil dragon's mom so he can become its dad?]
The sudden voice makes all the aberrations freeze!
The evil dragon flies into a rage on the spot, grabs a silver weapon, and clamps it around the prince's neck. "You damned bastard!!"
"Have you lost your mind? It's a misunderstanding!" The prince's eyes turn blood-red as he fights back.
[Why are they fighting? Whoa! So the dragon's dagger was forged from the doctor's stolen scalpel?]
"I made that with ten-thousand-year-old mithril!! When it went missing, you little thief swore you'd never seen it!"
The doctor curses and joins the fight with a scalpel in hand!
[Hm? The doctor's latest specimen was dug out of a zombie's grave? That's fresh!]
The Zombie King bares fangs that instantly grow longer. "That's my younger brother! You scoundrel!! Give him back!!"
At last, the aberrations realize something is wrong!
They find the source of the voice:
A pretty little lamb cowering in the corner of the cage, looking completely innocent.
Kill him!
The aberrations instantly agree!
Just then, a voice rings out in their minds:
[Ding! Dating Roast System online! Please pursue your roast target.]
[If your roast target dies, the roast will persist forever and sync across all worlds~]
The aberrations: "..."
**
Before long, the entire bizarre world seems to have gone mad.
They start pursuing a dish named "Su Chen"!
The elegant, bloodthirsty vampire prince calls him his "dearest";
the scheming, deranged surgeon calls him his "muse";
the brutal evil dragon calls him its "treasure";
and the zombie emperor, interested only in human brains and work, swears he will marry no one but him...
The players: "What happened?"
Su Chen, bewildered: "I have no idea?"
