An Unorthodox Guide to Escape Games

Qin Shi suddenly finds himself inside a game called Death Above All.

The System says, "The Old Gods have fallen. Collect divine cards in the game, and you can become a god."

Qin Shi: "…"

Who would believe this kind of pyramid scheme nonsense?

As a good young man of the modern age, Qin Shi is "happy to help," "kind and friendly," and "loving toward everyone," alive or dead. Yeah, right!

In Qin Shi's eyes, people fall into just two categories: those he can use long-term, and disposable tools.

Everyone is used until they haven't a stitch left, but they can do nothing about it. They look forward to Qin Shi's comeuppance. But as they keep waiting, something starts to feel off. Why do they want to see Qin Shi trick other people more and more?

It doesn't matter if they're an evil dungeon boss or an arrogant divine messenger. No one can escape Qin Shi.

The audience loves every minute of it, raising their banners high: "Welcome to the Victims' Alliance!"

My Cruelty, His Ruin. If you're interested, jump in!

Beneath Qin Dengteng's dazzling appearance lies an ambitious soul. He loves to toy with people's hearts, until a System comes looking for him.

The System tells him he's a villain in an apocalyptic novel, and the protagonist will soon grow strong enough to kill him with a thousand arrows. If he enters various novels whose plots have gone off the rails and repairs their stories, he can change his fate.

The System says: In every world, you must play a cruel character. Your mission is to suppress the protagonist and humiliate him to your heart's content before he grows strong.

World One: The Cruel Stepbrother.

The System: "You're the protagonist's cruel stepbrother, jealous of everything his younger brother has gained."

When he opens his eyes again, he feels that his body's original owner has just kicked his stepbrother to the ground. The protagonist? How annoying. Qin Dengteng crouches down, his gaze icy and mocking.

"You mangy mutt."

World Two: The Cruel Stepmother.

The System: "You're the protagonist's newly appointed stepmother. You put him in danger at every turn so you can inherit the estate of your husband, who died young."

World Three: The Cruel Junior Fellow Disciple.

The System: "You are..."

Qin Dengteng: "Hold on, hold on. I want to report you. There's something wrong with your protagonist."

The System: ...It doesn't want to admit that the person licking its Host all over is its protagonist.

Watching the third world go off track again, the System has decided to lie flat. As long as the Main System doesn't count it as a failure, they can call it a success.

Qin Dengteng is numb too. He's even afraid that when he slaps the protagonist, the protagonist will lick his hand, since that's exactly what the protagonist in the first world did!

But what he's thinking is: As expected of a protagonist. I'm already being crueler than the System asked me to be, and he still manages to disgust me.

So Qin Dengteng tries another way to disgust the protagonist, giving him a taste of his own medicine. But why does that only make these protagonists more excited?

Qin Dengteng berates the System: "Your protagonists are all total perverts!"

The evidence speaks for itself, leaving the System speechless. It wants to cry out to the heavens: How does a perfectly aloof protagonist turn into a creep as soon as he meets Qin Dengteng?
