This story follows Gu Hao, an ordinary young man who is accidentally drawn into a bizarre game and uncovers the truth behind survival in the two-star instance “Tranquil Cemetery.” From the start, he is forced to become a gravedigger. Facing five deadly rules, he relies on his instincts for the game to see through the lie of the “only safe house,” and discovers a loophole in the eerie world through the System that makes health bars visible. From being empty-handed to smashing a Lv. 2 anomaly with a frying pan, from being beaten to the brink of death to awakening the ability to suppress enemies by level, Gu Hao searches for a way to survive on the razor’s edge between life and death, eventually discovering the rule of “attack speed breaks defense.”
When he realizes that every safe house is a false premise, he stakes everything on entering the territory of the Headless Anomaly. There, he accidentally triggers combat across dimensions and tames the Flying Head Anomaly, forming an eccentric team. As his enemy, the resentful ghost, exposes the truth behind the instance, that the so-called rules are actually a system for marking the living, Gu Hao shifts from being forced to survive to actively disproving the rules, challenging the will of the System with a mortal body. On the night of the lunar eclipse, he faces a Lv. 20 ferocious ghost and uses a critical hit to kill it in a counterattack, breaking through the limits of his bloodline. He ultimately awakens the ability “Rule Deconstructor,” causing the eerie, severed-space System to crack for the first time.
Combining mystery and puzzle-solving with hot-blooded combat, the novel opens up a new dimension of survival games within the framework of strange rule-based tales, portraying the legendary struggle of an ordinary person awakening in the face of desperation.
