CompletedHaving signed into the underworld for five thousand years, Hua Wujue rose from a mere ghost to become the Emperor of Fengdu. On the day he completes his five-thousand-year check-in, the system rewards him with the ultimate prize:
"Successfully checked into the underworld for five thousand years, granting the ultimate reward—return home."
Despite being the Emperor of Fengdu, Hua Wujue trembles with tears in his eyes. He opens a portal and steps out, only to find that his homeland has changed beyond recognition…
"Welcome to the Rule-Based Horror Game!"
"Each country will select a chosen one to participate in the game. Survive for rewards; death will bring strange consequences."
"Notice: This is not up for negotiation, this is an announcement!"
"Heh heh heh, are you ready?"
"Now, let’s begin the selection…"
"Dragon Country’s chosen one... Hua? Hmm!"
Hua Wujue: "I, the Emperor of Fengdu, are you seriously playing games with me?"
