Provincial Survival: My Domain's Dark Side Is Hardcore

Introduction

Humanity is thrown into the "Provincial Survival" instance, where the thirty-four provinces must fend for themselves. The rules are brutal: temperatures of minus forty degrees, lord-class monsters, a 72-hour survival challenge, and cross-province raids for provincial fortune once the border passages open. Those who clear the challenge become provincial lords. Those who fail are left behind forever.

Lin Bei starts out in Heilongjiang as the only member of the Greater Khingan Range faction, wearing a thin hoodie and just one shoe. His teammates include a lumberjack, a deer farmer, a nurse, an elementary school teacher, a forest ranger... Not one of them is a fighter. Everyone thinks he won't survive the first night.

But he awakens the Regional Stereotype System. Tell someone from the Northeast, "You all know how to rap," and the enemy breaks into a social dance on the spot. Tell someone from Guangdong, "You eat anything," and the boss gets chewed to pieces. Tell someone from Jiangsu, "You're a loose collection," and the thirteen cities immediately turn on each other. The powers are ridiculous, but used well, they're terrifyingly effective.

The provincial passages open. Guangdong, with a 99.1% survival rate, watches like a predator; Zhejiang quietly builds its strength, while Jiangsu is still busy fighting itself. Lin Bei rides a snow wolf, leading twelve heroes of the Greater Khingan Range, and fights his way from Heilongjiang across the country.

"I'm not picking on anyone," Lin Bei says at the provincial passage. "I'm saying all thirty-three provinces here have stereotypes."
