How Did the World Turn Into a Dating Game?

Jiang Kongting transmigrates into the horror game Beneath Reality.

The game is set in an urban world much like our own. But beneath its seemingly peaceful surface lurk "monsters": beings of a higher dimension, unlike humans, and their followers. They corrupt the world, manipulate perception, and treat humans as toys and livestock.

Luckily, as a transmigration perk, Jiang Kongting gains a golden finger that lets her rewind time after death.

After rewinding and starting over time and time again, Jiang Kongting rapidly grows from a fragile, good-for-nothing college girl who can't lift a finger to a Top Killer who can skillfully use anything around her as a weapon to hunt "monsters."

But this time, after rewinding, Jiang Kongting realizes that something seems...

a little too wrong.

The monsters who once stood in absolute opposition to her begin treating her with unique favor, completely out of character.

They pursue her, watch her, and offer her what little humanity and affection they possess. Even with their hands covered in blood, they insist on holding the blade she thrusts at them.

Jiang Kongting is utterly baffled, almost convinced that a virus has invaded the world.

Are you all sick or something?

Hello, and welcome to Doki~Doki~ Heart-Pounding Days, the dating sim spin-off of Beneath Reality.

No matter how cruel, evil, and cold-hearted they are as monsters in the main story, here they follow only one rule:

This body exists solely to please you.

Enjoy the game.

In the year 2025, six sources of corruption arrive in the world without warning. Every living and nonliving thing may be corrupted and mutate into a monster, leaving humanity struggling to survive in the cracks.

Alongside each source of corruption comes an evolutionary sequence. They say that anyone who reaches the very top of a sequence can completely control its source of corruption and put an end to its influence on the world.

If all six sources of corruption are eliminated, the world can finally find peace again.

Everyone thinks this is nothing but a self-deceiving lie, until one day, a girl who was once human reaches the end of every sequence and ascends to godhood.

She ends all the chaos and ushers in a new era.

You are the night, you are eternal slumber, you are the source of all fear and calamity in this world, of fate and causality, of dreams and revenge.

You are the one and only goddess at the end of the dusk star and the aurora, the Goddess of Night, Adesteia. From then on, you dwell beyond the galaxy, gazing upon the past and the future.
