Duan Junmi knew he was different from a young age.
He was too smart, smart enough to see through everyone’s thoughts with ease: his parents’ fake concern, the pity in the doctor’s eyes, his classmates’ cautious attempts to please him.
He was like a child standing outside a glass box, watching ants, with the indulgence of someone above them and a trace of barely perceptible contempt.
Unfortunately, his body couldn’t keep up with his mind.
Asthma was a cold snake coiled around his neck, always ready to tighten its grip.
He hated the feeling of suffocating, hated the bitter taste of medicine, and hated the “what a shame” look in other people’s eyes even more.
As if he were a fragile treasure, rather than a living person.
At twenty-four, he died alone on a stormy night.
No calls for help, no struggle, not even a press of the emergency button by his bed.
He simply lay calmly in bed, feeling the oxygen slowly drain from his lungs as his vision blurred.
How boring.
That was his last thought.
Then he heard a voice.
“Welcome to the ‘Gods’ Game.’”
At last, this absurd game had become interesting.

Guild: “October Prologue”
Recommended guild: “Red Fox” (rated as an extremely good match by the System, but he has never joined)

Clear rate: 100% (never failed) [Keep it up]
Attributes: SSS (actually SSS+, but the System cannot display a higher rating)
His followers call him “God’s Delight,” meaning “one who pleases the gods,” but he scoffs at the title.
Fighting style: He enjoys tormenting his opponents elegantly, savoring the sight of them struggling in despair.
He habitually smiles in battle, speaks provocatively, and excels at manipulating his opponents’ emotions through psychology.
His followers call his fighting style “the aesthetic of the withering rose”: beautiful, deadly, and dramatic.
He likes to create “absurd” scenarios in the game, making opponents think they can win before destroying their hopes with his own hands.
He is especially fond of games involving “lies and truth,” often setting psychological traps and watching players turn on each other.
He hates boring opponents. If they are too weak, he kills them instantly with thorny vines, not bothering to waste words.
Follower interactions: He ignores most followers, but occasionally grants random blessings (throws them points) for no reason other than “I’m in a good mood today.”
The System file lists his “weakness: ?,” but a rumor circulates among his followers:
“Perhaps Duan Junmi’s weakness is himself.”
(File 1-1, not fully unlocked. More information to be discovered.)
Duan Junmi is the most unusual presence in the Infinite Game: elegant, powerful, and full of mysteries. He is a “god” in the eyes of his followers, a “nightmare” to his opponents, and perhaps sees this absurd world only as one grand psychological experiment.
