Rule Horror: I Can Form Contracts with the Supernatural

[Rules-based horror + national destiny + white-haired little devil + mind-bending supernatural mysteries + emotional dungeon stories] [Focused on immersion and outsmarting opponents. The national destiny element is relatively minor, so don’t read if that’s not your thing.] A rules-based horror game tied to national destiny descends upon the world, and the struggling web novelist Lu Busi becomes Longguo’s chosen player. “What do you mean, the player who decides Longguo’s fate is a shut-in college student? What do you mean, everyone else drew an SSS-rank talent, but you got ‘Thanks for playing’?” Just as everyone in Longguo loses hope, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly open in the darkness. “Big brother, you’re not alone.” “Go ahead and face the challenge. I’ll be right behind you.” And so, in the first dungeon, Lu Busi dies again and again, while Lu Ning risks her life alongside him to uncover the truth. In the second dungeon, the entire village’s goodwill is a blade, and only Lu Ning embraces him beneath the starry sky. In the third dungeon, if even my memories are false, then you’re the only one I can trust. … Much later, as Lu Busi stands at the pinnacle of the rules and looks back on the road he has traveled, he finally sees the words hidden behind that “Thanks for playing”: “The day we reclaim the throne will be the world’s twilight!”
