Shang Jingyan wakes up in the interstellar era and quickly realizes—this world is weird.

The arts have flourished, and entertainment comes in all shapes and sizes. But there’s one glaring omission: darkness. No horror, no fear, nothing remotely unsettling. Instead, the entire galaxy is obsessed with love stories, dreamy fantasies, and endless pink bubbles.

System: “Your mission is to become a literary icon! Collect ‘Heartbeat Points’ by making audiences swoon!”

Former horror director Shang Jingyan: “Got it. No problem.”

A few days later, a short film titled Married to an Eldritch God goes live. The opening shot? A cosmic horror’s grotesque visage filling the screen. The middle? Blood, madness, and creeping dread. The ending? Unspeakable.

—Statistically, every single unfortunate viewer’s heart rate that night skyrocketed to 180 bpm.

System: “Wait… WHAT?! This works too?!”

Viewer A: “I only watch romance shows… Wait, horror is actually amazing?!”

Gamer B: “I just wanted to romance the NPCs… Ghost, prepare to die!”

Casual Viewer C: “I’m not scared of anything—oh hell no, I’m not sleeping tonight.”

With sheer creative force, Shang Jingyan ignites a horror frenzy across the galaxy.

They say she can terrify an entire civilization with just three sentences:

“I’m making a movie.”

“I’m developing a game.”

“I’m directing a variety show.”

And yet, despite the screams and tears, people just. Keep. Watching.

Years later, critics would say:

“She was the queen of the Second Galactic Era, the one who reintroduced fear and rage to the masses.”

“She created countless works, all to deliver a single message—”

“I will awaken your nightmares. So scream for me. Let your heart race!”

[Fantasy premise + mastermind behind the scenes + the fourth catastrophe]

I was transported to a world of swords and magic. While others start with divine artifacts, I start with a dilapidated internet cafe.

Lin Che thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly activated the [Super Dimension Internet Cafe System]!

From that moment on, the art style of this world completely went astray!

What? A Templar Knight who had painstakingly cultivated his fighting spirit was beaten to a pulp by an unknown nobody who spent his days "suffering" in internet cafes?

"Sorry, I've died ten thousand times in Dark Souls. Your sword is too slow!"

What? The Empire's strongest mage force was routed by a group of orc warriors shouting "For the Horde!"

"Hey buddy, ever heard of World of Warcraft? Those who play tactics are all cunning!"

When the proud elf princess is hopelessly addicted to Stardew Valley, when the staid dwarf king becomes a construction maniac in Minecraft, when the strongest people across the continent are fighting tooth and nail for a single internet access spot...

As the sole GM, Lin Che sat in the boss's chair, holding the keyboard and mouse, calmly issuing world quests.

"The new dungeon, [Hell Dragon Extermination Battle], is now open! First kill reward: artifact; login fee doubled!"

"Warning! The Pope has been found to have exploited a bug and has been permanently banned!"

The old world's royalty, nobility, and church regarded him as the greatest heretic and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

The common heroes and kings of the new world regard him as the only true god and are willing to offer their faith to him!

When magic meets machine gunners, when dragons meet apocalypse tanks, when everything in the game becomes reality.

I, Lin Che, consider internet cafes my divine kingdom, and gamers my believers; I am the sole true god who has ascended to a new world.

Wang Chuan, a gamer, unexpectedly finds himself in a technologically advanced parallel world.

What? Games are the ninth art, on par with music and art.

Thus, starting with the meta-game "The Stanley Parable," game producer Wang Chuan began to bring over all sorts of bizarre games.

Years later, he looked back and discovered that he had actually created a gaming empire!

Carrying the Game Producer System, he traveled to a parallel world. The people there were rabidly obsessed with games. Seeing them having so much fun playing pixel-based games, Chen Pingan felt it was time to show them real games. Starting with "Pirates of the Caribbean," he adapted classic film and television works into games, shocking the world like never before. Chen Pingan constantly updated and iterated, from the initial 3D to VR and then to the Super Fantasy system, repeatedly challenging players' perceptions. In a world starved of entertainment, he gradually became the master of the gaming and entertainment empire.

"Have you heard about it! The 'Digging and Ascension' that Gu Yan did last month brought out the anger demon of the usually gentle physical cultivator elder!"

"This is incredible! The 'Death Twice' that Gu Yan did last week made the usually elegant sword cultivator elder scold him on the street for half a night!"

"This is a beast! The 'Breaking Up in the Alchemy Room' that Gu Yan did yesterday broke up seventy-two pairs of alchemy cultivators in one day!"

"Something big has happened! The sect ancestor is suspected to have been infected with Gu Yan's realm addiction, and the sect leader said he would induce heavenly thunder to help the ancestor quit!"

"..."

Game designer Gu Yan traveled through time and found himself in the world of cultivation and became a "realm cultivator".

This kind of monks weave illusions to invite fellow monks to enter for training, and transform the joy, anger, sorrow, fear, greed, hatred, ignorance and resentment of the people who enter into the illusions into spiritual energy for absorption, so as to improve their cultivation...

Su Chen travels through the Blue Star, only to discover that it is a world of gaming deserts.

"Empty" has advanced VR technology, but players can only play the game of cheating.

Ding! Gamemaking system awakening.

First of all, give Harry Potter fans of this world a little bit of a 3 A masterpiece!

The VR version of Hogwarts Legacy is released, and players enter the game as fifth-grade transfer students. Harry fans are in tears worldwide! One night's sleep in the college dorm, a butter beer at Hogsmeade's Three Broomsticks bar, a walk at the Bing House, and a walk around Azkaban.

Soon, Harry fans discovered that the world of Harry Potter a hundred years later turned out to be worse than one generation!

Four years in Azkaban, three years in Hogwarts, this is called a bachelor's and master's degree!

On the way to class, I chewed a big melon and fired AOE bursts, and ancient magic turned into rubbish.

Branch Hat: I should have assigned you to Azkaban College then.

Dementor: Guess whose head is tattooed on my back?

Voldemort: Dear seniors, just call me little Tom.

Follow-up, Harry Potter main story released, Old Man Ring, The Elder Scrolls. Player: I understand, the protagonist is a fifth-grade transfer student, a fourth-year Winter Castle, studying at Realucaria College, and transferring to Hogwarts!

(The first few chapters are just to increase the popularity of the protagonist, and Delta Operation officially appears in Chapter 6)

(Single female lead + female lead has a money-losing mission. If you think it's cliché, you can just quit and not read it. If you don't read the introduction at all and just read the book directly and then say the plot is cliché, then I can only say that I have reminded you that reading the introduction is good for everyone, don't disgust each other)

Good news: Traveling through time!

The bad news: This is a parallel world where technology is advanced and culture is flourishing, but the gaming industry is barren.

What's the difference between this and before the time travel?! It's even worse than before the time travel!

To what extent is there a lack of games in this world?

His predecessor was a failed designer who made a "pinball simulator" that no one played, and the most powerful game in this world... is actually just Happy Candy Crush?

Just when Bai Ye was despairing about this, the "Game Design System" was suddenly activated!

A vast amount of masterpieces from his previous life emerged clearly in his mind.

So, when players in this world were still obsessed with match-3 gameplay, a groundbreaking work called "Operation Delta" came out!

The ultimate audio-visual experience, cinematic narrative, breathtaking tactical coordination...

The three perspectives of global players and game manufacturers were completely overturned on this day!

"This... this is what we call a game!"

Bai Ye: "Don't be impatient, this is just the beginning."

"Next, it's the open world, the soul-based suffering, the MOBA competition... I will bring about an industrial revolution of gaming for this world!"

"The dungeon is open. It is the most relaxing and fun dungeon in history. There are no sinister monsters, no sneak attacks from the floor tiles, no bosses with strong desire to attack and make people breathless... There are only creation, beauty, and harvest...

The dungeon lord, Lu Xuan, hereby expresses sincere gratitude for your coming.

...

An ordinary dungeon opening message was posted on the adventurer's bulletin board and was seen by adventurers.

A dungeon with no traps, only fun. Adventurers suffered from nightmares in other dungeons. After entering Lu Xuan's dungeon, they were surprised to find that the battles here were so simple and the mode here was so novel. Development, farming, construction...

They saw... [Stardew Valley Dungeon: Planting crops, making money with crops, and then you can get...

Unexpectedly acquiring a game development system, Xu Fei, originally just a junior game planner, embarks on the path to dominating the gaming industry. This is the growth story of a game designer. It's also a novel about game development. "One day, the game I develop will make all the players in the world obsessed and crazy!"

A group of dragons are watching “Game of Thrones” day and night

High Elf and Druid are in tears after watching “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale”

Humans​ and Dwarfs are greatly spending money on “Hearthstone”

Even the god personally arrived in the mortal world to read “Sherlock Holmes” novels.

Eventually, a great Druid has started a “pick and drop” business, all Dwarfs and gnomes have joined for the construction of internet stores.

A cultural invasion in different world from earth!
