What Rules of Horror? This Is Clearly My Everyday Life

Wu Ping transmigrates from 2026 to a thousand years in the future.

After strange phenomena invade the world, rule-based horror games become the deciding factor in each nation's fate. Contestants from every country are dropped into scenes from a thousand years ago.

"Longguo contestant Wu Ping, confirmed entry into the rule-based horror game.

Matching scene: High school."

A high school in Shanhe Province.

A thousand years in the future, humans are born with knowledge chips. They have never gone to school, done morning exercises, or suffered through any kind of Chinese-style education. So these rules are riddles to them. They guess them one by one, and die one by one.

The volume during morning reading must be at least 80 decibels; students must line up neatly for morning exercises; teachers check on classes during lessons, and teachers may also patrol outside the windows at any time; break lasts ten minutes, but students must return to the classroom three minutes early; the report box in the principal's office shreds every complaint letter.

After high school come office towers, hospitals, and factory floors. Each new scenario is more unfamiliar than the last, and every set of rules is deadlier.

But those days are part of human civilization buried a thousand years in the past, and Wu Ping experienced them firsthand.
