Lingxiao Sect, Main Square.
Disciples bustled about, murmuring among themselves.
"Did you hear? Junior Brother Lu Ze is in trouble!"
"What happened? What did he do?"
"Apparently, during this year’s martial arts exchange, the Grand Elder wanted Lu Ze to create an illusionary realm for the competition. But a Qingshan Sect elder objected, and Junior Brother Lu Ze got so worked up he insisted on proving himself on the spot!"
"That’s it? That doesn’t sound so bad. Junior Brother Lu Ze’s illusion-crafting skills are..."
"You don’t understand! The Qingshan Sect elder demanded Lu Ze create a Grade-C or higher mechanical maze!"
"Grade-C?! That’s tough—Grade-C mechanical traps usually require the creator to have at least a Nascent Soul-level cultivation in their past life!"
"Worse than that! A Grade-C maze would’ve been manageable—Junior Brother Lu Ze has studied extensively, so he could’ve pulled it off… but then he declared he’d make a trap even the elders couldn’t solve!"
"What?! Did Junior Brother Lu Ze… lose his mind?"
"This is real trouble now!"
"A trap even the elders can’t handle? Impossible!"
"Rumor has it the Grand Elder and Sixth Elder are furious. If Lu Ze fails, our sect’s reputation will take a hit."
"Let’s go see!"
……
Word of Lu Ze’s bold claim in the Hall of Nurtured Spirits spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the sect.
Countless disciples gathered outside the hall, eager for updates.
At that very moment.
Inside the illusionary realm, Lu Ze was calmly making preparations.
"Traps? Mechanical puzzles? Hah, looks like my efforts weren’t wasted after all."
He muttered to himself.
A while back, while planning his next project, he had outlined several directions.
Without a doubt, the fastest way to gain demonic energy was through games that killed players quickly—brutally.
Souls-like games—Sekiro, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Black Myth…
Or sadistic indie games—Celeste, I Wanna Be the Guy, Cat Mario…
The former required too many resources. He’d need to advance his cultivation and expand his spiritual sense to sustain such vast illusions.
The latter, however, were far more convenient.
So, a few days ago, he’d idly compiled design notes for some of the most notorious torture-inducing indie games.
Now, faced with Yang Zhengxin’s demand for a "trap-themed" challenge, his preparations came in handy.
Traps?
This was practically tailor-made for I Wanna Be the Guy!
With that thought, he got to work.
Creating I Wanna with cultivation techniques wasn’t difficult.
The real challenge was replicating the experience of the original game.
After all, the illusions here were first-person.
After a moment’s consideration, Lu Ze settled on a solution.
He swiftly crafted two versions.
One mimicked the abstract pixel-art style of the original.
The other recreated the game’s terrain as a realistic illusion.
Players would see the latter.
But by channeling their spiritual sense, they could perceive the former.
For cultivators, this wasn’t hard to grasp—it was akin to using spiritual sense to scan terrain, just with… unusually bizarre visuals.
This way, players could see the trap layouts clearly without losing immersion.
Once the direction was set, Lu Ze dove into production.
I Wanna’s art style was famously abstract.
Lu Ze’s faithful recreation was equally so.
But he didn’t care.
The old geezer outside had only demanded difficulty—no one said anything about aesthetics.
Besides, time was tight. This style was perfectly justifiable.
The map design was ready, and the visuals weren’t hard to implement.
Once the graphics were done, Lu Ze began programming the traps’ mechanics.
Instant-death spikes, vanishing platforms, all manner of obstacles…
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
