After humanity faced an ice age, it entered a new world dimension. The world System, Earth Online, was created to maintain the Earth on which humanity depends for survival.
Yu Mingxiu was a programmer for Earth Online, but the System crashed. With no other choice, he was dragged into an endless series of live-streamed game instances.
If someone died in an instance, all traces of them would be erased from the real world. Countless people had already died in the instances before him.
"Welcome, player Yu Mingxiu, to the Earth Livestream. We are now forming your team. Please wait."
"Congratulations, player. You have been teamed with Ke Yan, the only survivor of the previous instance. The game is about to begin. Please get ready."
"3, 2, 1... Game start!"
[Instance 1]
The Rules of a Wedding in a Secluded Village
The moment Yu Mingxiu opened his eyes, he was dressed in a wedding robe with dragon and phoenix designs, sitting in a gloomy earthen house. He had become the "bride" awaiting her wedding.
His unlucky teammate was lying beside him, the "groom" who had died young and was to be married to him in a ghost marriage.
The man had been peacefully dead, but now he had opened his eyes.
"...Hello?"
"Hello, Xiao Yu. I'm two years ahead of you, a senior at the university next door. My name is Ke Yan. You should have heard of me. At the System seminar two years ago, I was sitting two seats to your left."
This groom, who looked like a paper effigy, had not only sat up, but had even maintained his appearance well enough to run a hand through his hair.
"..."
Not only Yu Mingxiu but also the livestream viewers fell silent.
"Wasn't this supposed to be a death game livestream? Ke Yan seemed pretty normal in the last instance. What's going on now? Is he losing his mind from all the pressure?"
"Well, that's it, then. Yu Mingxiu seems unreliable, and Ke Yan is even worse. Guess we can all wait for humanity to go extinct."
Seeing that Ke Yan was about to say something else, Yu Mingxiu pushed him back into the coffin.
"Hello, Ke Yan. The game livestream has started. Please act normal. I don't want us to die here together."
[Instance 2]
Seven-Day Death Game in a Skyscraper
... (To be continued)
Yu Mingxiu and Ke Yan joined forces to clear countless horror game instances, pulling human society back from the brink of collapse time and time again.
But beneath this apparent "safety," Yu Mingxiu discovered an even greater danger. Countless NPCs from cleared instances had disguised themselves as ordinary people and infiltrated the real world... The world descended into a living hell.
Humanity thought Yu Mingxiu was just an ordinary programmer who had been forced to sign a contract and enter the instances because of company rules. They never imagined that he would one day become the supreme god of their new world.
