A Guide to Reforming Abyssal Monsters

Blurb:

*From the recipient's perspective:

Shi Yun realizes that everything around him is changing in a terrifying way.

His classmates have become monsters that feed on emotions and are bent on making him suffer. People on the street tear open their own skin to reveal fangs, hoping to devour him whole.

Even his personal belongings have begun disappearing without a trace.

Every day, he lives in fear, afraid he'll lose his life at any moment.

*From the pursuer's perspective:

Ji Yan has been experiencing some strange things lately. Objects keep mysteriously appearing in his home.

There are bloodstained daggers, oddly worded notes begging for help, and photos of injured body parts.

He installs surveillance cameras in his room and discovers that the objects appear out of nowhere.

After hiring several Taoist priests to perform rituals without success, he can only comfort himself with the thought that the hidden ghost hasn't harmed him, and decides to leave it alone.

That is, until a full-dive game called "Nightfall" launches.

Ji Yan discovers that the clue fragments in the game closely match the objects appearing in his home, and they are all connected to a character in the game named Shi Yun.

As the game continues to be developed, the real world also undergoes drastic changes.

Night falls, and countless monsters roam the streets.

Natural disasters strike at random: floods, blizzards from the sky, scorching heat... Human beings struggle to survive.

To save the world, the game company releases a walkthrough. If players can use love to change the abyssal monster Shi Yun in the game, they can achieve a peaceful ending for the world.

Willing to give it a try, Ji Yan downloads the game and randomly unlocks the role of an evil god.

On a night of thunder and lightning, he extends countless tentacles and wraps them around Shi Yun, who is shivering in a corner. "I have answered your call. I will grant every wish you make."

From then on...

His monster classmates are crushed to dust, the skin-wearing passerby takes his own life, and the disasters gradually disappear...

The world returns to normal. Ji Yan has fulfilled his mission and logs out of the game.

Unable to find the tentacled god, Shi Yun's life falls apart once more, and he frantically merges the game world with reality.

The apocalypse returns.

As Ji Yan sits in class, he suddenly feels a weight in his arms. An icy arm wraps tightly around his neck, and an invisible young man presses close to his ear, his voice dark and gloomy. "My god, you broke your promise. There's still one wish you haven't granted me."

Ji Yan is utterly confused.

Shi Yun: I want you to love me forever.
