Rebelling Against This Cruel World Ravaged by Players

At first, they were called Celestials. They came from beyond the heavens, dressed in strange clothes, speaking in incomprehensible tongues, with glowing words above their heads. They brought potatoes, corn, firearms, all sorts of ingenious devices, and radical ideas, helping the Great Yi Dynasty usher in a golden age.

Later, they were called demons. They tore off their masks, and in a single day, the imperial capital fell. They slaughtered the royal family, easily defeated the army, crushed every resistance, and shocked the world. Then they began their demonic rampage: massacring people, carving up the land, forcing people to cut their hair and change their clothes, and abusing women. They kept us like livestock and slaves, suppressing and killing us, exploiting and plundering us.

Only in the end did I learn that they were also called players.
