Infinite dungeons descended into reality, and Yan Yun, a horror game designer, discovered that she had become a dungeon boss.
The new dungeon was empty, with no players in it.
Other dungeon bosses were watching like hawks, hoping to devour this low-level dungeon.
Only by gathering enough fear from players to upgrade into a high-level dungeon could she survive.
Professional horror game designer Yan Yun: Fear, huh? I know all about that.

A series of enormous dungeons set in a “Haunted City” appeared out of nowhere. Within just a few months, they had risen to S-rank, becoming the nightmare and forbidden zone of countless players.
In the discussion hub, players set up a special forum to complain about the Haunted City dungeons.
[Doorway jumpscares, turning a corner and running into a ghost, jump scares. I'm so sick of ghosts popping up right in my face.]
[They said the ghost wouldn't catch you if you hid in a closet, so why isn't it following the rules?]
[Ha. A three-thousand-square-meter museum with over a hundred rooms, and we have to find three fuses to restore the power. Boss, I hate you...]

In the infinite world, Zhou Qie, a top player known for beating games in one life, suffered the first setback of his life in the Haunted City dungeon. The dungeon's design taught him a lesson.
The dungeon boss was just like the game designer he'd cursed countless times: it refused to play by the rules.
Zhou Qie was fired up and took on the Haunted City dungeon. After several runs, he drove the thoroughly exasperated dungeon boss, Yan Yun, to complain: “Even if you have items, you can't use my place as a respawn point and keep farming it, can you?”
At that moment, Zhou Qie had just killed a ghost that appeared out of nowhere. Half his body was covered in blood, making him look like a blood-soaked Asura. His adrenaline was surging, and he wanted nothing more than to fight the boss to the death.
The instant he saw Yan Yun, all thoughts of killing disappeared, leaving just one thought in Zhou Qie's mind:
“Hi, honey.”
