Game Lord Simulator [Worldbuilding]

[Bottom]

Lin Xi is an unwanted, disabled real young master who earns his living by testing games. He's famous for his insane grind.

One day, he receives a highly paid invitation to test a game. According to other testers, it's a mind-numbingly boring city-building game that no player has ever managed to beat, no matter how tempting the pay.

Lin Xi sees the string of zeroes after the reward and is immediately tempted.

Bending to the lure of money, Lin Xi logs into the game Saitlan, where he acquires a city rumored to be cursed.

A vast, barren land overrun by strange beasts.

Within his territory are listless residents and slaves. Beyond its borders stretch endless wilderness and an abyss.

The game's protagonist is a pale, frail young master, so beautiful he looks like a porcelain doll.

The completely uninitialized game interface and skills make it clear that this test will be a challenge.

The gaming grind king Lin Xi is eager to get started.

After grinding until the game's protagonist has died suddenly 99 times, Lin Xi, disheveled and defeated, unlocks the hidden achievement "The Road Ahead Is Long and Steep."

When he logs in for the 100th time, the entries for [Pay to Win], [Creation], [Strange Beasts], and more are all lit up.

Grind king mode: back on.

Lin Xi starts growing crops, building high walls, developing the territory, training cavalry, and taming strange beasts.

Determined to earn the generous reward, Lin Xi fights through the game. He goes from a delicate young master no one believes in to a rising young lord, from the ruler of a barren territory to the Rose of Saitlan, cherished by an iron-blooded cavalry.

He even gets an offer from a top university thanks to the knowledge he learned in the game.

One day, at the peak of his success in both the real world and the game, Saitlan goes into maintenance for half a month.

With his graduation exams approaching, Lin Xi throws himself into studying and puts his daily grind on hold.

That day, the people of Saitlan face their darkest hour.

Their beloved, respected young lord falls into a deep slumber and crumbles into dust.

Skeleton demons wail in the wilderness, dragons roar from the abyss, and banshees sing a dirge from the marshes.

As every living creature mourns the Rose of Saitlan, game maintenance ends and the two worlds officially merge.

In the year 2048 of the New Era, the world is transformed.

The ancient and mysterious land of Saitlan merges with it, and the people of the lost continent begin searching for their Rose.

At that moment, Lin Xi, sitting in a wheelchair at his graduation ceremony, has just finished giving a speech when a dragon lands and a banshee appears.

In full view of everyone, a skeleton demon picks up the beautiful young man from his wheelchair and says softly:

"My lord, it's time to go home."

Lin Xi, who was swamped in the real world and hadn't had time to log into the game: Huh?

The fake young master and his scumbag father and mother, who were just about to offer Lin Xi some fake concern: What?!
