A Guide to Awakening as a Horror Game NPC

The anti-piracy setting is at the minimum, 30%. Thanks for your support~

As a soon-to-be unemployed office drone, Ye Ling woke up to find herself back in high school, with a free trial of the experience.

But something seemed off about this school... No, actually, the whole world had been wrong from the moment she woke up.

In a silent school, evil spirits wandered through dreams, harvesting souls. In a remote orphanage, children's laughter echoed through an activity room with no one inside...

The city where she had grown up suddenly felt unfamiliar, and everyone around her had turned into stiff, wooden NPCs.

As the clock chimed, her mother, sitting on the sofa, revealed corpse spots and gave her a sinister smile.

It seemed she had only two choices: join them or endure eternal terror.

Watching her companions on the verge of madness, Ye Ling suddenly understood: They could never be lambs waiting for the slaughter. They had to take the initiative to fight back if they wanted any chance of survival!

Reader's guide:

1. There is no leveling system. The heroine has a bit of a golden finger, but for the most part, ordinary people struggle to survive in a world of horror.

2. The instances focus on horror and exploration, with a touch of cosmic horror. No giant octopuses, but the sanity-draining cosmic horror flavor is there.

3. The male lead appears early. Both leads have had no previous sexual partners, but the romance develops slowly. The story is mainly plot-driven.

If you knew that I transmigrated into an angsty ancient romance and ended up playing an infinite-flow nation-building game, you'd envy my good luck too, right? .jpg

Hang Xia transmigrated into the heroine of an ancient romance with a despicable male lead and an abused heroine, a story so infuriating it had kept her awake at night.

The male lead, a hostage prince who was about to repay kindness with betrayal, had already faked his death and returned to his country as crown prince. Soon he would destroy the small kingdom she lived in and drag her into a hundred chapters of cat-and-mouse, torturing her body and heart. Naturally, she would be the one running away and getting tortured.

Hang Xia wasn't gifted enough to conquer the world, but she didn't want to be abused either. Just as she decided to run, a sudden boom rang out in the sky:

"Anomalous invasion detected on this plane. Activating the Nation's Fortune Battleground..."

Each country would randomly select one challenger to enter an anomalous instance. Those who cleared it successfully, along with their countries, would gain resources. The country represented by anyone who failed would face declining national fortunes and the arrival of anomalies!

Hang Xia: I thought this was an ancient romance with a despicable male lead and an abused heroine! How did it suddenly turn into an anomalous invasion? Can't you send me back to a normal ancient world?

But later, she finally realized this was a crisis and an opportunity.

She might otherwise have spent her entire life hiding her identity and running from place to place, constantly afraid that the male lead would find her. She might never have had a chance to step onto the stage of history.

But now, she could become the only savior of this absurd world, the Emperor of Emperors to whom all lands submitted!
