Lian Huai was a famous painter. What no one knew was that in private, he used his astonishing artistic skill to create all kinds of indescribable, eerie, mysterious monsters, giving them names and backstories.
One day, they came to life.
A mysterious power from an unknown source pulled people from all over the world into terrifying games, beginning a grand live broadcast of their struggle to escape.
The NPCs and bosses in the games were all monsters from Lian Huai's private sketchbooks.
As the "creator" of these monsters, Lian Huai became one of the countless players.

In another dimension, countless people followed the hugely popular livestreams of the horror-game escape.
They loved watching the players teeter on the edge of collapse, struggle on the verge of death, and ultimately get hunted down in a brutal fashion.
Recently, a particularly unusual new player had appeared.
Black hair and black eyes, skin white as snow, a face of breathtaking beauty, and a flawless figure. One glance at the thumbnail was enough to draw people in as if they were under a spell.
Unfortunately, beauty might take you far in the ordinary world, but in a horror world, going solo with nothing but looks was a death sentence. It was useless against the monsters.
[I bet he won't survive the night.]
[Poor thing. The monsters are going to scare him into crying his eyes out, aren't they?]
[Those arms and legs are so thin, he'll be last even at running away.]
[Maybe he can stay alive if he uses his looks to get a big shot to carry him.]
[Here's a tip. Consider it funeral money for the beauty in advance.]
Some viewers felt sorry for him, others mocked him, and even more watched with cruel anticipation, eager to see the beauty get broken.
But strangely, every monster from the different worlds became an obedient, well-behaved pet in front of the young man.
The Spider Lady, with her fangs and countless compound eyes, secretly spun silk at night, carefully weaving it into the softest bed so the young man could sleep peacefully.
The bloodthirsty, merciless two-headed Hound with its split mouth pretended to be a harmless puppy, rolling around and begging the young man for pets every day.
The headless mermaid, who lurked in the swamp and hated sunlight, endured the sun's rays burning its skin just to pick the loveliest flowers and place them by the young man's bed.
They cared for him so carefully, afraid even to disturb him.
Just as astonishingly, the young man wasn't afraid at all when he discovered them. He accepted them gently, knew everything about them, and trained them with effortless ease.
Even the most terrifying evil god in the game fell for him, disguising itself as a human and sticking to the young man at all times through multiple avatars with different appearances.
It knelt on one knee to kiss his fingertips, devout as a believer.
"Welcome to your world, our master."
[The cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside, gorgeous monster-tamer bottom x the evil god top with countless avatars who acts like a lovesick puppy]
