[Cthulhu + Amber-style progression + villain protagonist + no system + decisive killing + dark humor + unhinged energy + single female lead + sequence containment] Xu Mo: “In the twenty-second century, all you need is a brain-computer interface helmet to experience a fully immersive, physically realistic game world.” “Why did I choose this starting character? Naturally, because she’s a beautiful girl... no, wait, naturally because weaker characters offer more of a challenge.” “As a veteran player of this game, I’ve already piloted the weakest starting character through countless endings.” “I have battled dragons in the mountains. I have gambled with ancient evil gods in the void.” “I have brought endless sin and death upon the world. I have also led revolutions that set entire continents ablaze.” “This game has an incredible degree of freedom. Sure, every ending ends with the world being destroyed, but every run gives you something new.” “But this time, there’s a small problem...” “Where the hell did my logout button go?” “And why has the character I’m controlling suddenly gained self-awareness and started fighting me for control of her body?!” “She is the convergence of countless beginnings and endings.” “She is an angel of light, and also the butcher of the night.” “She brings madness, blood, and fire. Yet wherever she passes, flowers and hope bloom together.” “She is... she is...” — The Book of Answers

The game Tribulation of Ten Thousand Races had a notoriously toxic plot flaw: forced garbage right at the start—the stunning Sword Immortal Bai Zhirou was guaranteed to suffer a scripted death, forced to detonate her Sword Heart to forcefully balance character stats. Yet, the game had crazy high replayability. Players could be righteous cultivators upholding justice or demonic practitioners wreaking havoc across the land. Although every playthrough got stuck right at the point of ascending to the Immortal Realm, each run offered a brand-new experience. Jiang Ye, a professional power leveler wearing a brain-computer helmet, launched his tenth playthrough. But this time, he hit a bug—he could actually control the character early! Without hesitation, he took over the battlefield! Jiang Ye: "Hehehe, get wrecked, you scrubs!" He easily cleared the so-called "scripted death." Looking at the successfully activated Sword Heart, his lips curled up into a wild smirk, only to discover in shock: Where is my log-out button? Who stole it?! Jiang Ye: Oh crap, why can't I control the character again? Oh crap, how did the character develop her own consciousness? Oh crap, I really became the old mentor spirit! Talk about three craps in a row... ------------- Facing a genius of the demonic path, Jiang Ye executed a Perfect Dodge. "Huh, the Ah San dodge mod is still working? Watch my Ah San Execution then—yep, still as flashy as ever." Bai Zhirou: "Heh, I might as well throw this body away..." Years later, when a Demon King descended to annihilate countless living beings and the ten thousand races fell into despair... "Clang, clang, clang..." The familiar sound of parrying echoed once more. "Sword Immortal Bai! She's here! She's marching in with her custom BGM!"
