After graduating from college, Ning Yaoshi overcame one obstacle after another and successfully landed a job at a company with amazing benefits.
Start at ten, finish at five, weekends off, six types of insurance and a housing fund, a monthly salary of thirty thousand, and free meals and accommodation.
There was no pressure to hit performance targets, and everyone got along well. Everything was so wonderful that Ning Yaoshi could hardly believe it was real.
Apart from the fact that every so often, groups of strange people who looked like they had just escaped from a mental hospital would show up at the company to cause trouble, Ning Yaoshi thought his life was perfect.
As for the deformed little animals that occasionally appeared in the office, the uncanny singing, and the wildly chaotic paintings...
Just notify HR and let them handle it. It was no big deal!
World B-537 was originally just one of countless mission worlds connected to the Infinite Space. It was utterly ordinary, with nothing worth paying special attention to, and its danger rating was an unremarkable B.
Then one day, without warning, it transformed into one of the high-risk S-class worlds.
Countless taskers entered the former World B-537, one after another, hoping to find out what was going on. Then they discovered...
Huh? What's going on? Why is this world home to a company full of notorious evil gods listed on the Infinite Space rankings?!
And that college student who just started working here, with no corresponding mythological form and clear, foolish eyes...
Needless to say! An evil, wicked god! We've seen right through your disguise! We won't fall for it so easily!
Ning Yaoshi had just clocked in at the last possible second. Turning around to find a crowd of people surrounding him and glaring at him: ?
Security! Hey, security! Help me! I'm surrounded by lunatics!

"A Brooding Ghostly Boy Isn't My Character Setting, Is He?"
After transmigrating into the villainous third male lead of the currently popular urban-supernatural shonen manga "Apocalypse Protocol," Ji Xia chose a brooding, ghostly-boy persona to earn popularity points.
He could exchange popularity points for extra days of life and various skills. As long as he made it through the manga's story until the end, he would truly get a second chance at life.
Long-term stalking. Watching from everywhere. Clingy possessiveness and crazed obsession.
For the sake of his hard-won second life, Ji Xia studied every frame, cast morality aside, and boldly put what he learned into practice.
But as his popularity points climbed day after day and the plot steadily progressed, strange things began happening around him.
Personal belongings mysteriously went missing. Memories vanished in fragments. A hand rested on his Adam's apple in the dead of night. In the mirror, he glimpsed faint red marks on the side of his neck.
Before he knew it, far too many eyes had settled on someone who was supposed to remain in the shadows.
Ji Xia lived in fear, but at last made it to the day the story ended.
He went to say goodbye to Shen Zhixu, the protagonist he'd been obsessively following, but at Shen's home he found his missing belongings, along with videotapes filmed while he was hypnotized.
The door clicked shut and locked behind him. Shen Zhixu looked at him and smiled brightly.
"Where do you think you're going without me? You can't."
"After all... your eyes should be fixed on me, and me alone."
Ji Xia: "...Is it too late to say I was only acting before?"
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zhixu bit his ear.
"I'm real."
Moral: Face everything you encounter with an open heart.
