Xie Yi, a closed-door disciple of the Blade Sect, ran into a tiny little mishap on the way back after fighting the Japanese invaders on Aobi Island? (Aolong Island, actually.) A wave hit, sweeping him and his boat into the deep sea.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on the shallow shore of a deserted island.

Not far away, another unlucky traveler was floating in the water. Xie Yi used all his strength to drag the person ashore, playing the hero who rescued a beauty (and taking advantage of the situation). But when the person woke up, they immediately reported him and turned the tables on him.

His beloved bird, Dadao, flapped its wings excitedly and chattered: "Dummy! Looks like we've landed in the story of The Castaway! Four NPCs handed to us from the start. This time, we're definitely on the ultimate lucky farming route!"

Though things were chaotic at first, they gradually settled into a routine. But just as everyone joined forces to clear the land and survive, no one expected that a shocking conspiracy lay behind this 'accident'...!

Xie Yi: "I thought this was supposed to be a team adventure and survival on a deserted island! How did a nice farming story turn into a battle royale?!"

Dadao: "Stay calm! Be optimistic! Look, at least the 'teamwork' and 'survival' parts haven't changed!"

■■: "Heh. What do you think... about adding a game of Werewolf, too?"

Xie Yi had a dream. In the dream, someone told him: Since he had successfully cleared the Aobi Island instance, as a reward, they had arranged for his team to include an 'expert' who had cleared a hundred battle royale games a thousand times over.

Xie Yi: "You can do that?! (=˙▽˙=)"

They said: "Unfortunately, that person has forgotten everything..."

Xie Yi: "(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"

They said: "Relax. Maybe they'll remember again?"

Xie Yi: "Really? For real?? Then I think I can keep scraping by, "

They said: "It might take a little while, though."

Xie Yi: "Just a little while_(:3 ⌒,)_? I... can't... do it anymore, Inner Strength team, Double Flower Ling, you're capable, you go in."

They said: "Almost there, almost there. Listen, young people, just hang in there a little longer. After all, it was that person who suggested sending you in."

Xie Yi: "(⊙▽⊙" What, are, you, talking, about! ∑(°口°?)?! Screaming"

They said: "√ This really is killing several birds with one stone, absolutely perfect! After all these years, someone finally understands how hard it is for me (つД`)."

Someone: "Huh (°ω°?)?"

Preface:

1. An ensemble story with multiple narrative threads. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy it.

2. The setting follows the classic five-player battle royale mode in the original Jian Wang 3. All sects appear in Volume Two, and the large-scale fights take place in Volumes Three and Four. The earlier parts focus more on suspense and puzzle-solving.

3. Since every version has its own overpowered class, class strength fluctuates with each balance update, so the combat abilities will be adjusted. Team compositions have a natural advantage, but nobody is an idiot when the fighting starts (though some may be airheads). In short, no one will be forced to act stupid just to make a fight happen. Everyone will face powerful opponents, and some teammates may have other things on their minds.

*

A final note for the lovely Jian Wang 3 players:

It's the end of the season, so everyone's got plenty of free time. The weather's hot, and everyone's a bit irritable. Recently, the stereotypes and rivalries between the sects have been getting pretty heated. I thought, instead of fighting over it, why not have them battle it out in a battle royale, each relying on their own skills, and see who has the last laugh?

Let's set the map on that island map people say nobody from X plays. We can chase the tail end of summer, sit beneath the palm trees, and take in the golden sunshine and sandy beach.
