A man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately. However, the main character realizes that there must be a reason each world is so large and detailed. There must be a reward for exploring a world, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.

They took everything from him, the life he knew, the people he cared for, his whole family. He will go to the end of the universe if needs be to find them. And fight them again. The Proctors of Darkness and their minions. The weavers of lies and miseries. He’ll either shatter their souls into countless pieces, imprison them in the darkest dungeon for eternity, or die trying. It’s the only path worth taking. But on that path, he is not alone. Alice has been given a chance to live again, in a new world, with new rules. She comes to him, looking for a mentor. But as her mentor is trying to keep her safe and help her grow, she realizes that he has too many shortcomings and is bound to fail again. So, to give them a chance to survive, she will need to step up and do things she never thought possible, becoming smarter and stronger than any woman she had ever known. This is a slow-developing story. There is a system that is dependent on performances and achievements.

Waking up without warning in the middle of nowhere. No memory of what happened. You find yourself in an unfamiliar world, with its own customs, morals, and ways of life. How do you survive when you have nothing? How far would you go to stay alive? Would you be willing to sell or buy the unthinkable? Would you compromise your morals just to survive? What would you do if everything you thought you knew about yourself and your limits was put to the test?

Crab OG author : 喝一杯红酒 OG title : 游戏制作：从治愈玩家开始 Chen Xu travelled to a parallel world and was surprised to find that many classic and excellent games from his previous life were missing. I had a plan, but why did I get an 'emotion collection system', and the emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, anger and other emotions provided by players who have played the games I made can make me stronger? But why is it so much easier to get anger than happiness? Looking at his score, Chen Xu expressed his confusion. As a result, Chen Xu's career as a game designer gradually took a turn for the worse.

The screams grew louder, and Adrien stepped forward, ready to dominate the night like only he could. Every light, every sound, every heartbeat in the arena felt like it was under his control. Until he saw her. It was a flicker, at first, in his side vision, but then it punched him in the chest like an uppercut. His voice stammered for an instant, a hesitation that passed so quickly no one else seemed to catch. Adrien felt it. Blinding lights and shrill screams filled the atmosphere. She stood there amidst the chaos, front row, her eyes locked unflinchingly with his. He knew those eyes. The microphone in his hand felt more heavy, his fingers tightening because something raw and unexpected clawed at his carefully constructed composure. All of the stage, crowd, control, slipped—if only for a heartbeat. She's here. Why now? Why here? Adrien's silver eyes darkened as his mind ran, but his body betrayed nothing. He managed to force a smirk, took a step forward, commanded the crowd as if nothing had happened. But, under the spotlight, his pulse thundered in his ears. For years, he had built himself into an unshakable force, a man who bent the world to his will. But tonight, with one look, she reminded him what it felt like to lose control. And she knew it. ___________ Warning: "My story is slow-paced, and the plot progresses gradually, so if you don't prefer slow-paced stories, this one might not be for you.
