[Traditional Werewolf game, with national fate elements. Matches focus mainly on discussion]
May the world be free of face-checking, borderline plays, slacking, out-of-game information, and reads...
Wait, reads are fine.
Before bed, Jiang Juming, who had been thoroughly wrecked by a fish pond game, prayed to the heavens.
But only if this is still my world!
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Juming found himself in this strange new world, his mind stuffed with inexplicable memories. He sat dumbfounded at the back of a classroom, close to tears.
I just play Werewolf. How did I end up transmigrating, too?
Aside from one difference, this new world was much like the one he had left, in terms of technological development and customs.
Decades ago, a national fate System had descended, plunging the world into turmoil.
If a country's national fate ever reached zero, the entire nation would be shrouded in darkness, with not a trace of life remaining.
The only way to increase national fate was to participate in Werewolf matches through the System after reaching adulthood, and place in the top ten of the annual elite competition.
Jiang Juming, the Werewolf Masters champion known as the "Wolf King" and "God Jiang": Thanks for asking. This is right up my alley. Watch me identify all four wolves from the start.
After a few matches, the viewers, who had repeatedly doubted him only to be proven wrong, pleaded through tears: Please, God Jiang, just act like a normal person and cut back on the tricks.
I believe you! I'll believe anything you say, okay?
Reader's Guide:
1. This novel is beginner-friendly. The discussions aren't complicated, and professional terms will be explained in the author's notes. Even readers who have never played Werewolf can follow along (probably). Please go easy on the high-level players.
2. There is no cheat System. The protagonist himself is the biggest cheat.
3. The national fate elements are difficult to describe in detail, so there isn't much of them. The focus is mainly on the games.
4. (Copied from the author's notes) Although the setting is online Werewolf, the discussion style and timing are closer to in-person games. I didn't set it in an in-person game because I don't want to spend too much time describing player reads and databases.
If you have never played Werewolf and want to try it, I recommend not jumping straight in. Watch some variety shows first.
I also don't recommend playing online right away. I don't even want to imagine the kind of people a new account might get matched with...
To deal with all the bad behavior and discussion problems in online games, I gave the players a highly intimidating national fate System, so they wouldn't immediately ruin the game (at least, no more disconnecting as soon as they get Villager, self-revealing as soon as they get Wolf, or using two accounts in one match, among other baffling moves). (Though it hasn't completely solved the blood-pressure problem.)
Pre-Collection: Bound to a Comeback System Before Ascension:
On the eve of his ascension, Pei Nanzhou, the greatest cultivator in the world, unexpectedly encountered a glowing orb that called itself the Comeback System.
The orb rattled on, launching straight into its pitch:
Do you want to become stronger?
Do you want to reach the pinnacle, trample underfoot those who once looked down on and mocked you, and ascend to the Immortal Realm?
The Comeback System is just what you need!
Pei Nanzhou, whose life had always gone smoothly and who was cherished by his elders and revered by his peers and juniors in Xuanyang Sect and throughout the cultivation world: ...
Thanks for asking. I'm at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, about to face my heavenly tribulation. My life's been smooth, and I've already reached the top. I don't need a comeback.
The orb froze for several seconds, then brought out a famous line:
Since you're here, how about taking on a secret identity and experiencing the thrill of a comeback and face-slapping your friends and family, piecing together the truth from their reactions?
It's guaranteed to be exciting and true to life, dear!
After much back-and-forth, Pei Nanzhou took on a secret identity. Pretending to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been through a broken engagement and the massacre of his family, he infiltrated a third-rate sect, Qingyun Sect.
The System immediately issued its first quest:
[Quest One: Reborn Through Fire
Shout a classic comeback line at the person who comes over to mock you, the current fiance of your former fiancee, then defeat him in the disciple selection trial half a month from now.
Quest Rewards: 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones, one mid-grade Black-Rank manual, one healing elixir: Lesser Return Pill]
Facing the crowd that had come to provoke him, Pei Nanzhou took a deep breath and managed to force out a few words with a blank expression: "Th-thirty years east of the river..."
Forget the west bank. Right now, he just wanted to send this System to its grave!
Could he really not abandon quest rewards that weren't even worth putting in his spare storage pouch?!
System: No, dear. The quest chain can't be broken.
Two months later, Pei Nanzhou could deliver the classic lines with practiced ease. He looked at the latest quest, his expression unreadable.
[Quest Five: Escape the Sea of Misery
Expose the corruption in Qingyun Sect's selection of direct disciples in front of everyone. Leave Qingyun Sect and become the direct disciple of a great cultivator.
Quest Rewards: One Tribulation Transcendence-stage master, one small fragment of the truth]
Only then did Pei Nanzhou learn that the new master the System had picked for him was Gu Yunji, the friend with whom he had severed ties years ago. Behind the scenes, Gu Yunji had been harboring desires for him.
"Being a little like him is a blessing you earned over several lifetimes."
"Come with me, and I'll guarantee you reach the Nascent Soul stage within fifty years."
Pei Nanzhou, whose eyes had been opened to a whole new world, silently rolled up his sleeves and switched back to his true self:
Let's just get this over with and destroy everything.
Reader's Guide:
1. He can freely switch between his true self and his secret identity.
2. The blurb is from the protagonist's perspective. The love interest has his reasons.
Theme: Even in a strange world, keep moving forward with conviction
To be honest, even though I bought it, it's as if I haven't read it yet, and all the content has slipped out of my mind.
Unexpectedly, I would watch Werewolf Killing in Jinjiang one day...
I originally thought it would be a long story, but I didn't expect it to be so short... In this way, is there too much foreshadowing in the school part at the beginning? It feels a bit top-heavy.
Damn, you write too fast. This is very suitable for writing a long novel 😭
This article is really on the highway... The highway of highways 😂
Thank you for allowing me to encounter this article. It's good-looking, but too short. It would be better if it was a full-length novel.
I have been chasing it all the way. When I read it, the author had not joined V yet. As a result, I saw it today and found that my subscription rate was horribly low 😂 😂 But I still spread my love. Congratulations on the completion.
I feel like this game is so interesting. The name Black Death is also very good. It's really like an infection. One by one, people die from the disease.
Is it over? It feels like just starting
Congratulations on the completion? Although I didn't understand the whole process, I can feel that the author put great care into designing every game! I feel Werewolf is indeed an interesting game! I want to try it with my friends if I have a chance!
