Zhou You originally thought his life would be utterly ordinary.

An ordinary birth, an ordinary upbringing, ordinary studies… and then an utterly ordinary death from a terminal illness.

Until he came across an equally plain-looking black book.

From then on, “ordinary” stepped into the realm of the “extraordinary.”

The inescapable Building No. 4, the eerie old street, the Flesh Abomination singing the Ascension Opera, indescribable resurrected beings…

Each script is a profound nightmare, yet every nightmare is also a chance at survival…

The candlelight flares, illuminating a tiny temple. The grotesque descends, and the curtain of the story rises once more.

—So then, welcome to the Grotesque Game!

[Space + Natural Disaster + Apocalypse + Chaos + Fleeing Famine + No CP + Strongman + Lone Wolf]

After three years of struggling in the apocalypse, Su Xia suddenly travels to a chaotic world plagued by natural disasters.

A prolonged drought leaves every household in the village struggling financially.

Her father is exhausted, her mother has remarried, and her grandmother only works and doesn't let her eat.

Su Xia empties out the Su family home and finds a dilapidated thatched hut to live on her own.

Her days alone are filled with activity, searching for water, hunting for food, and preparing supplies for her escape.

A vicious woman arrives and even tries to sell her to a fool?

That fool is also mentally ill, having already beaten three previous wives to death.

Su Xia declares, "Marriage is a matter of parents' and matchmaker's decisions. Go down and discuss it with my father!"

She unceremoniously scoops up the Su family's meager fortune and sets off on her own...

Travel across the globe to a world infested with eerie creatures. Starting the game, you're bound to a shelter; if the shelter is destroyed, the player dies. To survive, you must brave the dangers of leaving the shelter and venture into a world filled with strange creatures to scavenge supplies and strengthen the shelter. Meanwhile, Shen Hui, traveling with you, discovers he's become a walking humanoid shelter. The shelter's functions have been transformed into corresponding abilities.

[Wooden walls transformed into wooden skin]

[Shelter repairs transformed into health replenishment]

[Storage space transformed into storage]

As the shelter's level increases and more buildings are unlocked, Shen Hui transforms into a humanoid fortress!

[Wall of Flesh transformed into an Indestructible Body]

[Thousand Eyes Watchtower transformed into Abyssal Vision]

While others risk leaving their shelters to scavenge for supplies on the edge of a strange forbidden zone, Shen Hui, a humanoid shelter, has already shattered the forbidden zone with his incredible abilities!

A group of unknown creatures claiming to be players invaded the world. They used the earth as a playing field to start a game for cards. Wind, unexpectedly obtained a rare card called Mother's Nest, and at the same time, a reminder message appeared on the panels of players all over the world: "Hidden Boss Mother Nest (Elderly) has been born, please ask the player to clear it as soon as possible."

Wind, wanted to be a baby before, and later, she wanted to be a kind "Mom".

(No CP + infrastructure-building + survival + strong female lead)

Wu Jinyue had just returned from studying abroad and hadn’t even begun to enjoy her well-earned vacation when a cataclysm struck Blue Star. Humanity was forcibly transported to a strange world where survival and pioneering were the only options.

Ferocious beasts invaded, resources were scarce, disasters struck frequently — people lived on the edge, with no guarantee of tomorrow. Humans were like dust in the wind, vanishing one by one.

Starting with nothing but the materials to build a straw hut, adventurers had to scavenge every other resource themselves.

"Start with one shack, and grind for everything else."

Wu Jinyue: “This feels familiar — like those wilderness survival documentaries.”

Invited to join forces with a faction for safety?

Wu Jinyue: “Sorry, I’m naturally socially anxious. I don’t team up with anyone.”

Food too bland, no seasoning to make it edible?

Wu Jinyue: “Unacceptable. I’ll work harder tomorrow. I might be poor, but I refuse to wrong my taste buds.”

Armed with a strange jade left by her parents — something she had never seen before — Wu Jinyue unlocks a mysterious daily talent-draw ability. From the moment she opens her eyes each day, it’s grind time.

While others are still scouring for materials to patch up their broken walls, Wu Jinyue is already living in a temperature-controlled villa, wondering what to cook for dinner.

While others struggle to gather supplies and level up their combat skills, she’s already setting up her second shelter.

Growing exotic plants, raising alien beasts, crafting tools, stockpiling materials — Wu Jinyue is determined to thrive in this new world.

As her name repeatedly appears at the top of the global rankings, frenzied adventurers begin searching for her coordinates, hoping to rob her or take her down.

Wu Jinyue simply posts in the public channel:

"Find me, and I’ll gladly give you a one-way ticket... straight to the underworld."

Mo Bai, who returned to the world three months before the end of the world, embarked on a completely different path from his previous life. What kind of changes will a shelter system that can be expanded after completing tasks bring to his life? Is it a miserable life or a struggle to survive? In order to find the truth about the destruction of the world, Mo Bai will overcome all obstacles and take a different new path.

[Flesh + Bones + Doomsday Disaster + Lovecraftian Survival + Civilization Graveyard]

When the mist descended and aberrant horrors howled outside the windows, all players cowered in crumbling shelters, trembling. But Bai Yi found himself teleported right onto the face of the deity "Endless Flesh," witnessing the terrifying feast of the flesh planet being devoured by something even more monstrous—the splattered fragments of flesh and bone that rained down became his only beginner's gift.

Some used mystical seeds to upgrade their shelters, striving to cultivate a World Tree. Others fused theirs with eldritch idols, attempting to establish a Great Cult. And some utilized remnants of lost technology to fortify their shelters, hoping to resist the calamity with science.

Bai Yi, however, fused his shelter with endlessly proliferating flesh and bone.

On the day of its evolution, newly formed bone plates structured themselves into a honeycomb-like support system within the fleshy walls, their surfaces covered in a translucent membrane that revealed the pulsating network of veins beneath. The ceiling sprouted rib-like skeletal rings, while the floor was overgrown with writhing flesh, from which occasional tentacles slithered out.

"Can this... really still be called a shelter?"

Staring at the fully transformed, flesh-and-bone abomination of a refuge, Bai Yi gulped.

[Note: The protagonist's strength remains within the top tier, not overwhelmingly beyond others. This is not a lighthearted story.]

The two worlds merge and the extraordinary invades.

Xu Luoou obtained the qualification for a mysterious game and became a lord of another world. He could recruit soldiers, build territories, and bring the extraordinary powers and items in the game back to reality.

[The first hurdle a new leader faces is the first round of attacks from ferocious beasts or monsters after the protection period ends...]

[The initial troop type is crucial! 】

【If you recruit humanoid soldiers, undead soldiers or animal soldiers, then your luck is not too bad, because the death rates of new soldiers in these three types of soldiers are not much different at the beginning, but if your initial soldiers are plant soldiers, then how long you can survive depends purely on luck. 】

【Because plant-based soldiers are the weakest in the early stages! No doubt about it! 】

【If you are unlucky enough to recruit plant-type soldiers, you are on your own...

Nameless Guest: "If you can bring the martial arts, inner strength, Taoism, magical powers, etc. you learned in the game into reality, would you play such a game?"

Gamer: "Of course I would, there is such a good thing?"

Nameless Guest: "Then if you die in the game, you will die in reality, will you still play such a game?"

Gamer: "Let me think about it - well, I should be able to play it, as long as I am careful not to provoke high-level monsters."

Nameless Guest: "Then if the difficulty of this game is so high that even a small monster at the entrance of a village can easily chop you down, will you still play it?"

Gamer: "..."

PS: There are already six excellent articles with more than one million words, you can read them with confidence.

Xiao Jian, who had just returned to his hometown in the countryside from a big city, was cleaning the backyard of his old house when the world was suddenly blocked by white mist.

The whole world seemed to be filled with only this small courtyard in front of me.

What's even more critical is that a group of zombies hungry for brains emerged from the white mist...

Facing the vicious zombies, the only thing Xiao Jian can rely on is the mysterious card he just got:

╭───Servant Card───╮

Pea shooter?

Attack 1|Defense 0|HP 10

Summon: 100?

characteristic:
