The Players These Days Are No Good [Infinite]

After the Infinite Game System malfunctioned, all the instances fused together, forming a bizarre and surreal world plagued by bugs. The players were trapped. Some lost their memories, some descended into madness, and some were caught in endless loops inside death instances... Terror and despair shrouded this strange dimension.

Until one day, someone crawled out of a mass grave.

"The players these days are useless," Xin Yi said, brushing the rotting mud off herself. "Looks like I'll have to save this world."

Xin Yi decided to sneak into the players' safe house.

She knocked.

Someone inside asked, "Who is it?"

Xin Yi calmly introduced herself: "The living urban legend at the school, the insect queen of Heat Island, the doll disguised as a corpse, the offering on the Evil God's altar, the immortal marquis of the ancient castle, the first emperor transformed by decay..."

The door didn't budge. "We don't have room for all those people."

Xin Yi: ^_^

Across ten thousand and one instances, she had ten thousand and one identities. She had suffered cruelty, indulged in evil, loved, hated, feared, and been fearless. Everything had been at the gods' whim.

Now, she would climb over the gods' bones and ascend the throne from which she could control her own fate.
