*Dungeon Five is complete.
Ling Qi is an experimental subject and the vengeful ghost Boss in the A-rank dungeon [The Dead Return]. She rules the dungeon and enslaves the little monsters every day, then disguises herself as a player to lure players in and kill them, grinding her kill KPI all the way to the top spot.
After wiping out another party of players, Ling Qi found a blank player ID card. Her eyes lit up, and she bound it to herself at once.
What fun is being the top-ranked Boss? If she plays as a player, she’ll be top-ranked there too!

[The Dead Return] is a massive gacha game that only the dead can enter. They say that clearing the mysterious S-rank dungeon lets you return to life and the real world.
Players draw cards to survive the game’s dungeons, explore their backstories, uncover the truth, and clear them.
Among the cards, revival cards are the rarest, followed by utility cards, while lifestyle cards are the least valuable.
As a monster ghost with maxed-out offense and defense, Ling Qi stared at the pile of useless revival cards in her hands and fell into thought.
Is this drop rate even fair?
Whatever. She’ll use them to recruit an army. She’s going to climb to the top of [The Dead Return]!
Clear dungeons, level up fast.
Build a guild, compete in the league.
If you’re going to be anything, be number one!
Ghost Bosses?
Ling Qi: Come here. I’ll teach you how to be a ghost.
Monster Bosses?
Ling Qi: I bet your claws aren’t as hard as mine!
The number one guild?
Ling Qi: What a shame. I’m the top guild now.
The final dungeon?
Ling Qi: Highest-level administrator access to [The Dead Return]? I’m taking it!

Wait, you’re giving her a revival card?
Ling Qi: Tsk... tch.
Ling Qi: Little squishy, you’d better keep it for yourself.
On his 10,086th attempt to give her a revival card, Bian Zeyang fails spectacularly!
Reader’s Guide:
1. A power-crazed, ambitious heroine who can freely switch between monster and ghost forms x a ruthless, taciturn, steady and dependable, honest hero who pretends to be obedient and weak for love;
2. The hero is strong, but the heroine is stronger. One-on-one, both are devoted only to each other. No brainless plot, no mistreatment of the heroine, just pure fun. The plot-to-romance ratio is 8:2, and the hero is her teammate throughout, not just a background character;
3. The heroine is a monster, not a human. She won’t accept moral blackmail or criticism. If that’s not for you, click the top-left corner to leave;
4. No writing advice, please. Feel free to point out logic errors. Comments on each chapter are open, and I welcome you lovely readers to spot mistakes.
