Chu Li died in an air disaster and was pulled into a game as an NPC. Again and again, she went through death, dungeon resets, another death, and another reset.
At last, one day, she blew up the dungeon and perished alongside the other NPCs.
She had hoped to be free at last, but instead she landed in another world plagued by severe mental corruption, where she spent every day battling and devouring Cthulhu monsters.
After devouring every Cthulhu monster in that world, she died when her mind exploded. Who knew she would be transported back to her original world?
Chu Li, with her mental corruption maxed out: Immortal?
Now that's a nice surprise!
Faced with the dungeons' amiable monsters, Chu Li decided to give it a try.
Give it a try?
Try it, and die.
Except...
It was the monsters who died, not Chu Li, who had provoked them hoping to die.
The monsters: Don't come any closer!
A forbidden game called Abyss descended upon the entire world. Countless people were forced to become players, facing one dungeon game after another and struggling to survive by the skin of their teeth.
Everyone thought they would get a chance to catch their breath in the real world after leaving a dungeon. But the forbidden game showed no mercy, gradually merging with reality.
Humanity trembled in fear as monsters hunted them down, forcing them to flee and hide.
Then someone noticed something...
There wasn't a single monster in plain sight anywhere in Xia!
The people of Xia: Surprised? We have God Chu! The monsters wouldn't dare come out. They can't hide fast enough.
The whole world erupted in an uproar, and people from other countries scrambled to immigrate to Xia.
People from other countries: Please let us immigrate to Xia. We'll give you all our assets.
But their number tickets for immigration remained nowhere in sight.
Someone remembered one of the unwritten requirements for immigrating to M Country: being an elite with professional skills.
Maybe the same applied to Xia?
So a competition in humblebragging broke out on foreign websites.
“I speak six languages and have two master's degrees. Look at me.”
“I got my doctorate at 25. Pick me!”
“I'm a Lasker Award winner.”
“I've won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the Panetti Prize, and the Kastler Award!”
“…”
Chu Li only wanted to try dying for once. She looked down at the monster beneath her feet and fell into deep thought.
