Players Who Aren't Conan-Logic Are All Part of My Play

[The whole story is being extensively revised, and new chapters will be added later. You can wait until the revisions are finished before reading.] Zhujian Zhenling is a watered-down fake. One day, she has the misfortune of becoming a victim in a serial murder case, and the even greater misfortune of discovering a secret. The otherworldly game Red and Black Overture is invading the world. In this game, higher-dimensional invaders treat the world as an arena. Murder, arson, and explosions happen one after another as they wantonly destroy the world's order. After killing two players and escaping, Zhujian Zhenling is assigned a game mission: [Purge the Players]. And so begins a war to defend the world: higher-dimensional players versus the world's inhabitants. Chosen to be the savior, Zhujian Zhenling takes on countless secret identities, becoming a double agent among the players, the Black Organization, and the police. [The Mysterious Data Genius] She never shows her face, yet can control the whole board from thousands of miles away. She breaches high-security systems as if they were unguarded. "Thanks to you, the Public Security database was leaked. Good work." [The Light of the Detective World] The daughter of a police officer who died in the line of duty, she has an eccentric personality but shines brilliantly in the world of detectives. "The law isn't meant to uphold justice. It's meant to maintain order." [The Fourth Member of the Whiskey Trio] After the mask of her trusted companion is torn away, she turns out to be a witch who manipulates people's hearts in a criminal organization. "Shouldn't you congratulate me on getting a codename too, my comrade?" [The Hidden Player] The invader who believed herself to be above the world never discovered the truth, not even at the very end. "I'm not a player. I'm here to purge you." *At first, Zhujian Zhenling was so intimidating that a certain Public Security agent went out of his way to make excuses for her: "She's just a little foul-mouthed. Deep down, she's a good person." *After her identity in the organization is exposed, Zhujian Zhenling punches players, kicks a certain FBI agent, and even saves Top Killer. The blond guy admits he misjudged her. The organization's hardest worker gives his verdict: "A barely acceptable comrade. She'd be even better if she dropped that lowbrow little hobby of hers." *In the end, when she sees her childhood friend resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, Bourbon instantly changes his tune: "There are still plenty of good people in this world!" GIN: ?! [Reading guide] 1. Canon pairings won't be broken up. The heroine is independent and has no pairing, but there are one-sided crushes. 2. Her secret identities will be exposed, but there are too many to ever reveal them all. 3. Everyone has a severe case of turning her into a legendary figure. Coming soon The Demon King Returns to the Starter Village [Sci-Fi Technology + Elemental Magic, No Romance] When the Demon King Sener revives, humanity has already wiped out all the witches and stolen her scepter. Unable to appear in person, Sener can only split off a symbiote. But the symbiote is a cripple with zero elemental affinity. This is the golden age of elemental magic. Getting into an advanced school is everyone's path to success, but not for a pauper like Sener, who is immune to the elements. Sener slaps a blood-stained, warm gold coin onto the black market auction table. "I want to buy an entry ticket." * This year's qualifiers are unexpectedly brutal. Nearly half the contestants are eliminated before the competition even begins. After the cream of the crop finish off the boss, they immediately start a faction war. Halfway through the battle, just as they're about to determine the victor, everything suddenly goes black. #Shocking: A genius contestant gets killed by a prosthetic limb?!# #Not a bug, not a rigged match, but a dirty dog's victory# * After reaching the semifinals, the dirty player is ganged up on. Sener turns around and tricks the boss into trusting her, swipes all the stamina potions, and puts them up for sale in the public chat. Now anyone who wants to kill her will have to climb over a pile of bodyguard corpses first. Then Sener's "bodyguards" learn what it means to burn a bridge, as she turns on her own teammates and beats them down. #A genius can cast a hundred spells in an instant and poke hundreds of holes in you# * The dirty-playing genius Sener is widely considered this year's dark horse, but even a dark horse can be crippled by new rules. Without elemental tools, anyone can knock Sener out of the competition. Just when everyone thinks her run has come to an end, Sener posts a job ad online: [Looking for a teammate for the finals. Requirements: none. Compensation: Top Ten on the points leaderboard.] Then everyone realizes she's not just being arrogant. She's serious. Sener: "A top-tier support can take first place too. Thanks." It isn't until Sener storms into the temple and reclaims her scepter, exposing herself as the Demon King and becoming a wanted fugitive, that everyone learns she also found time during the competition to kill an Archangel, three High Elders, the king, and the High Chancellor?! On the day Sener frees and resurrects all the witches and smashes the ladder leading to the divine realm, the entire alliance remembers the warning they'd forgotten on the first page of their original textbook. Geniuses are merely masters of the elements, but witches are their creators. Treat them with reverence. Reading guide: 1. My take on a sci-fi and magic setting, with religion. 2. There are one-sided crushes, but no romance. 3. The heroine is shameless. Theme: Cooperation is the key to mutual success.
