Lin Yue died once.
He was hit and killed on a zebra crossing late at night by a truck that ran a red light. Then he woke up in a place called "Endless Stairs".
There is no sun here, no day or night. The first level is an endless gray wasteland, with bugs larger than people, and the air is full of dust and putrefaction. The system told him: Survive for 24 hours or die. Really dead.
He used his ten years of experience as a game planner in his previous life to dismantle this death game. Every task is a screening, and there is a designer's intention behind every rule. When six ground-burrowing insects pounced on him at the same time, his subconscious broke through the threshold and awakened his talent - deduction of all phenomena.
He can see the lines of cause and effect. The action trajectory of any target and the causal connection of any event will turn into a golden spider web in his eyes. Within ten seconds, he had no plan left.
But the system also left him a message:
"Sooner or later you'll count things you shouldn't count."
Wasteland, steampunk city, war kingdom, void rift, cemetery of gods, abandoned layer, to the core of the staircase... Each layer is a complete world, and each layer is more cruel than the previous one.
