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!

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!

"Xu Zhao, female, 24 years old. Suffering organ failure after a car accident, she has only three days left to live. Do you want to enter the resurrection game? Complete the game to gain a chance to be resurrected. Confirm the time to start: fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven..."

Xu Zhao clicked the "Agree" button.

After resurrection, she still had to go through one life-threatening dungeon game after another. She didn't know whether she had made a profit or a loss.

Russell is redundant data (Redun-0) from the Onpharos simulation program simulated by the scepter. He was born in the first year of the strife-era world, embarking on the path of a healer, a path that has lasted a millennium. Until the Black Tide engulfed Onpharos, plunging the world into ruin. He came to a crystal-clear blue giant tree and touched this magical tree. "Branch of the World, do you have pity on the branches and leaves of this world? Perhaps I can grasp hope..." Every time the Black Tide destroyed the world, he would touch the Branch of the World—that giant tree that condensed memories, sealing the joys and sorrows of his past life into its fruit, and then he would enter the cycle of reincarnation again to seek hope. When the 33.55 millionth fruit, curled up among the roots on the verge of collapse, its silver hair soaked with the blood and tears of billions of dead souls. "Is salvation... truly meaningful?" As despair gnawed at the remnants of souls, the Healer heard the plea and came treading through the starlight and frost. He embraced him. "Your thirty million acts of benevolence have pierced the illusion of eternal night." "This is not in vain. It is proof of the existence of reincarnation. You shall receive this crown." "Swallow it. It is the placenta for your new life." A crimson pomegranate seed was fed to Russell. At that moment, the Imperial Scepter malfunctioned wildly, and an Envoy of Abundance was hatching within his body…

Miaomiao is a little glutton who was forced to come into the world to save the human race because he ate the koi carp raised by heaven to save the world.

She became the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A high monk once said that the Sixth Young Lady was doomed, and so she lived a miserable life in the Prime Minister's residence, starving, ill-fated, and often beaten and scolded. Meanwhile, her older sister had an incomparably noble destiny, born to be a phoenix.

Miaomiao was punished to stand all night on a snowy night and collapsed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was picked up by the wife of the Marquis who was passing by and was adopted as her own daughter.

After hearing the news, the nobles in the capital were all waiting to see what would happen in the Marquis' Mansion, thinking that they would be killed by the unlucky star.

But they waited and waited and waited.

When the original capital...

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."

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".

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.
