When reality becomes a nightmare and humanity is the only stake, survival is only the beginning of the game. Welcome to the “Mirror Abyss,” a chasm you cannot refuse to enter.
Core Worldview: The Mirror Abyss System
The “Mirror Abyss System” is an unknown supernatural entity. In an irresistible manner, it pulls people from all over the world at random into “instance worlds” of its own creation. These instances are not made from nothing. They are built around extreme cases that truly happened in the real world and tested human nature, creating a cruel stage where reality and illusion intertwine.
The System’s Core Rules
Selection Mechanism: The System randomly selects individuals from around the world. To ensure basic communication, selected “players” are assigned to different war zones according to their native languages and placed in temporary teams.
Nature of the Instances: Every instance is a “higher-dimensional projection” based on a real case involving human nature. It has a logical basis in reality, yet is filled with strange supernatural elements.
Clear Conditions: Every instance has both “visible rules” and a “hidden truth.” Following the visible rules can only ensure temporary survival. Only by understanding and exposing the truth hidden behind the case can players truly clear the instance.
Death Mechanism: Dying in an instance means dying for good in the real world. The process is irreversible, though rumors say that some kind of extremely difficult “chance of resurrection” exists within the System.
Acquiring Abilities: A player’s performance in an instance, especially their emotional fluctuations when faced with choices that test human nature, can trigger the awakening of “supernatural abilities.” The intensity and stability of their emotions directly affect the power and form of those abilities.
The Ladder of Survival: Instance Difficulty Levels
The Mirror Abyss System divides instances into different levels. Each level brings a sharply rising death rate and more complex tests of human nature. From the beginner trials of Rank D to the despairing abyss of Rank S, every step is taken atop the bones of countless failures. This merciless selection process ensures that only the most resilient, intelligent, or fortunate can make it further.
