Lin Zhou, an office worker, worked himself to the bone while rushing to finish the endgame update for his dark mobile game, Echoes of the Eternal Night... and successfully worked himself to death, only to reincarnate in the game world! His identity? A minor noble who gets killed off at the very start. The plot? He knows it inside out! Every goddess is doomed to an unsatisfying bad ending, and the world will meet its end at the hands of the "Witch of the End," Ye Liuli.
But how could a game designer who knows every plot point, hidden bug, and character weakness possibly follow the script obediently?
Leveling up? Too slow. Partying up? Too exhausting. Saving the world? Too hollow.
His plan to break the deadlock is simple, direct, and effective: go straight for the final boss's home! While everyone sees her as a world-ending calamity and scorns and tramples her, I cross the frozen wasteland and find Ye Liuli, a lonely girl with white hair and red eyes, curled up in the snowstorm. "Are you hungry? Would you like some hot soup?" With a game designer's god's-eye view (and perhaps just a little... loli-lover sentiment?), I capture this wary, fragile young beast of the end ahead of schedule.
...Why is she trying to keep me prisoner after I raised her?!
