One Day, After Making a Pact with an Old God

One day, unknown higher-dimensional beings invaded human dreams. Through constant exploitation and expansion, they evolved a shared Dream Cube survival game.

The civilization and rules of the past were gone. In a system that prized high mental scores, Qin Yu was instead a zero-point player, the kind most likely to be scared to death.

Fortunately, there’s always a way out. Before she could meet a fate that was certain death, she obtained a life-saving Calamity Curse.

The good news: the Calamity Curse can summon creatures from any plane, and it can do so exactly three times.

When a battered, rusty knife with a chipped edge, a spineless cactus, and a half-dead stray cat appeared before her, she completely fell apart.

Qin Yu: Am I doomed to die today?

*

For a long time, plenty of people in both the real world and the Dream Cube remembered Qin Yu’s name. Not because she was strong, but because this woman had the worst luck imaginable!

Her home became a bombing zone for calamities, and its danger rating kept climbing until it was impossible to classify.

After repeated refreshes, her super-doubled number of failed kills became a source of shame for all Calamity Creatures.

Calamity Creature A: ...Why do I feel like we’re the unlucky ones?

Calamity Creature B: Hmm... Maybe we should pick someone else...

Qin Yu: Oh? You’ve been chasing me all this time, and now you want to give up? Not a chance!

Calamity Creature: Help! Stay away from me!
