[Socially anxious, quirky manga artist Ruan Yu & cold, taciturn horror manga hero Pei Zheng]
Ruan Yu was just a second-rate artist with a bit of social anxiety. Every day, she was either racing to meet a deadline or on her way to race to meet one. But she had a little wish she'd never told anyone: to create an outstanding horror manga.
Something like the scary picture books she'd read in her mother's arms when she was little.
When horror survival-game web novels became a huge hit, Ruan Yu got a chance to plan a horror manga called The Game of Desire, which she would illustrate herself.
But an accident put an end to her hopes: a red moon that should only have existed in her draft appeared right in front of her.
Ruan Yu: I must be hallucinating from staying up too late to meet deadlines...
[Ding-dong! Congratulations, player Ruan Yu! You have successfully bound to the game System and become the official Player No. 01 of The Game of Desire (Real World Edition). There are XX days until the game arrives in reality. Please do your best to clear the instances!]
Ruan Yu: So you're saying you want a weak woman like me to take on the instance bosses alone?
System: Pei Zheng, the male lead of your manga, is a player too~
Ruan Yu's body stiffened. Thinking of the decisive, battle-hardened male lead of her power-fantasy leveling story, she politely declined. Sure enough, when they first met, Pei Zheng nearly killed her with the blade she'd designed for him because he suspected her identity.
Ruan Yu: How am I supposed to play like this?!
Currently updating instances:
"Jing'an Middle School": One student jumps, and Jing'an Middle School loses its good name.
Other planned instances:
"A Graveyard in Summer": The wisp of smoke rising from your ancestors' graves is warm.
"Only Mom Is the Best": You'd better listen to your mother.
"Lost in the Deep Sea": A journey to a death that was already set in stone.
"The 24-Hour Company": Do your best to avoid being laid off by your unscrupulous boss.
Mahua's reading guide:
1. I'm a beginner at this, but I promise not to let you down. (Sorry, orz.)
2. The planned instances are tentative and may be changed. If there's one you like, tell me and I'll write it.
3. The plot is mildly scary. The female lead has a coming-of-age arc, and the romance and story will probably get about equal focus.
4. Bookmarks mean a lot to me. If you like my ideas, please bookmark the story~
5. Feel free to point out mistakes, raise issues, or discuss the plot in the comments. I'll do my best to respond!
Finally, I'll use the author's notes to post little extras outside the main story. Please enjoy them ^_^
Theme: Love brings us together
The plot is very interesting, thank you to the author.
Please tell me, are there no ghosts in these copies? Looking at it now, I feel that the NPCs in the current dungeon are ordinary people and do not take pleasure in bloodthirsty. Moreover, the dungeon feels more like a reappearance of past scenes.
It will be tied soon. When will this instance end? [Cat Head]
Are you tired... I'm so tired, really. This heavy life makes me breathless. I have to force myself to smile every day, every day. I'm not happy at all, not at all. I will fight on my own if anything happens. I fell asleep these past few nights when I was tired and crying. There are many things I can only say to myself. I said to myself, not to mention that I am only a teenager, and I wipe my tears when they fall. I don't want to shed tears easily, and I don't want to, but the tears are disobedient and will fall on their own. Why don't you think I am strong at all? I have experienced too, too much... Actually, I just want to say [Can there be a new ending tomorrow?]
No, did you really eat it?
Come on, update. Waiting for you to finish.
Come on, great author!
Can the male protagonist not beat the female protagonist [Let me be healthy]
The male protagonist is regarded as a humanoid thing. Who understands my shitty laughter?
Have you not replaced the last few paragraphs?
