From the Start, I Blundered into the Villain's Camp

- As a hardcore player of Crown of the Gray Tower, Xia Bai has explored the entire map, unlocked a hidden achievement, and earned the title of Witness. Then Xia Bai dies in an accident and transmigrates into another world. His initial spawn point is a town with a free-spirited and warm-hearted (chaotic and violent) local culture. Not long after arriving, he watches two groups of people beat each other up in a particularly brutal brawl. Xia Bai looks at his own puny body, just as weak as it was before he transmigrated, and concludes he couldn’t beat even the neighbor’s dog. To survive in this chaotic place, he finds himself a big brother to rely on. Big Brother is great: tall, strong, handsome, and a little intimidating, but he can cook! Big Brother: … … At last, Xia Bai settles into life in another world and finds himself a reliable companion. Only then does he realize that he seems to have transmigrated into the game world of Crown of the Gray Tower, except the timeline is long before the game’s story begins. The downside of arriving too early is that, without realizing it, he has already attached himself to the ultimate boss and become part of the villain faction. Good news: The villains are all still decent, uncorrupted teammates. They’re incredibly reliable, so he can just coast along with them. Bad news: By the time he figures out that he has transmigrated into the game, the villains’ corruption storyline is about to begin. Even worse news: His faction tag is already welded in place, and he’s been bundled into this plot point. Soon, he and his teammates will all be sacrificed. And their leader, the future ultimate boss, is about to come and claim his share of this corruption package. A seemingly gentle and frail bottom who gradually becomes the mastermind behind the scenes × a large, beastlike top who is gradually pushed into a state of trauma The protagonist transmigrates into another world starting in Chapter 3. The first two chapters explain his upbringing and can be skipped. Note: Big Brother = the leader = the top. I’m terrible at writing synopses, so this will do for now. I’ll revise it when inspiration strikes. *Upcoming novels, this one and the next The Observer Always Wants to Go Live Early (Historical Fantasy) Condensed synopsis: After transmigrating into a book, Master Yun is trapped on a deserted island in forced home quarantine because his cultivation is too high and it isn’t time for him to appear in the story yet.
