While lying flat in his dorm and reading web novels, college student Wu Ming accidentally downloaded a game that seemed wrong in every way.
There was no login, no worldbuilding, and not even a game description. When he opened it, the screen showed just one sentence: “Please create a character.”
“Does this game not even bother trying to scam me into spending money?” Wu Ming grumbled. Then, figuring “no one's watching,” he made a white-haired, red-eyed little girl and casually hit confirm. The next second, a flash of white light. Wu Ming's life vanished along with it. When he opened his eyes again, his dorm was gone, his bed was gone, and his computer was gone. In their place were a pair of hands far too small to belong to an adult man, and a shock of strikingly white hair.
“...”
“Wait a second.”
“Did I take this game a little too seriously?”
In this world of unknown origins, Wu Ming had successfully pulled off the most outrageous stunt of his life:
He'd played himself into the character he'd created.
