The Resurgence of Strange Stories Begins with the Awakening of S-Level Magic Talents.

[Single female protagonist + reference + no nonsense + knife + woman disguised as a man] Chen Xuanyu was originally a magician and killer, codenamed "Sculptor". He had no father or mother, no worries, and only grew up relying on the support of his neighbor's aunt. Suddenly, while he was riding the subway one day, an electronic screen suddenly appeared in front of him, but other people seemed unable to see it. Just like that, the gears of fate began to turn... Without any warning, the strangeness suddenly descended like a tide, completely involving the whole world in an eerie and strange game in a way that caught people off guard. As if overnight, the order of reality has been completely overturned, and everyone is forced to be involved in this life-and-death game. Only by constantly playing the game can players find a glimmer of hope in this crisis-ridden world. Survival has become the most difficult but extremely determined goal. Such plots only exist in those absurd novels and fantasies, but now it has really happened to Chen Xuanyu himself.
