What if there are only 24 hours to save the world?

Zhu Shijiu has experienced countless rebirths and replays, and felt the pain of death thousands of times. His will is on the verge of collapse in the endless cycle, and he has tried every way to escape but to no avail.

Every time he dies, he will return to the day before the destruction of that damn world!

All he can do is to unravel the clues and explore the truth with repeated deaths.

-- 24 hours to save the world... countdown -- start!

A virtual reality game called "Whale Fall" becomes a global sensation. The protagonist, Su Zhou, drawn by its popularity, decides to enter the game. However, he and the other players soon discover a shocking truth: this is no mere game. The world of "Whale Fall" is a real, tangible, and often cruel place. The title itself is a metaphor, posing the question of whether this entire world is sustained by the sacrifice of a single, great entity, much like a whale's body nourishes an ecosystem after its death.

Now trapped in a genuine other world, the players, often referred to as the "Fourth Scourge," must confront this new reality. They are forced to fight for survival, grow stronger, and uncover the deep, buried truths behind the so-called game. The story explores their journey of facing this reality and deciding whether to accept their responsibility within it.

On a night as dark as ink, strange figures in gaudy, colorful garments march under the moonlight. Their faces are warped, frozen in eerie grins. They carry a grand sedan chair, stepping over grave soil, stained with demon blood, heading toward a den of monsters.

Among the folk, there is a chilling saying:

"When paper men bear the sedan, ghosts wail and demons howl — flee if you see them, and never draw near."

A long-lost legacy of the Zhimu craftsmen—those who craft ritual paper effigies—has resurfaced.

A reclusive youth inherits the art.

Controlling paper to kill, he hunts demons, spirits, and monsters…

Extracting their bones, peeling their skins, and crafting paper talismans to prolong life.

With paper as his blade and death as his ink—he walks the path of Dao.

Wang Xiaoyu transmigrated to a parallel world and became a PhD student. He then received a system that rewarded him with 100 times the profit as long as he ran a company normally, spent money continuously, and mismanaged it. But unexpectedly, these sneaky bastards kept making the company better and better! They turned it into the world’s number one game company, the world’s number one supermarket, the world’s top investment firm, and so many other titles.

Wang Xiaoyu helplessly said: “I just want to lose money, but there are just too many of these sneaky bastards!”

Chang Pan had known since childhood that she was an adopted daughter, yet her personality remained spoiled and willful.

At fifteen, her adoptive parents’ biological daughter was brought back home, and she had no choice but to return to her birth mother.

From a rich second generation to a poor second generation, Chang Pan disliked everything about her new environment equally.

But she found she couldn’t bring herself to dislike Fang You.

An elder sister with no blood relation to her, the pillar holding up a broken household,

who, with a quiet and restrained charm, captured all of Chang Pan’s attention.

She realized that what she wanted most as an adult wasn’t the life of a wealthy second generation—

but Fang You.

Fang You’s life was one of endurance.

Enduring through elementary school, enduring through middle school, enduring until she could work.

Then, everything would be over.

She never expected that in the abyss of a life where there was nowhere further to fall, a flower would drop into it.

Chang Pan was her nominal younger sister, a responsibility that fate had bound to her and would not let go.

In the end, she would become that bouquet of flowers taking root in the abyss.

Enduring until the end brought no release—only a reunion after separation, where they relied on each other for life.

One-sentence summary: The little sister who fell from the sky isn’t very cute.

My name is Bai Yu, the leader of the monster organization. In the battle with the magic girl, I successfully regressed her to a child and fooled her into a newly created monster soldier!

Next, I will transform her from scratch and train this magic girl into a monster cadre. It's very interesting to think about it!

...

My name is Meng Yue, the strongest magic girl. The monster leader didn't know that his magic was actually useless to me, but in order to explore a secret, I still pretended to be insane and successfully mixed into the organization.

But I didn't expect that the welfare of the monster organization would be so good! Not only food and accommodation, but also holidays! You know, magic girls have no holidays all year round and no benefits. If it weren't for the so-called righteousness, I would have quit long ago!

I don't want to go back~~ Or I can aim to become a monster cadre! In this way, I can destroy the monster organization from the inside, and then... and then...

I can't remember! Let's get rid of these hateful magic girls in front of us first! I don't understand why you are working without a monthly salary? Why don't you come to the monster organization to enjoy high welfare benefits!

Today is also a day for me to fight for the leader as a monster cadre~

You're on a disaster planet, plagued by disasters and monsters.

And a strange message appears before your eyes.

[A potted plant might fall on you. If you'd like to trade it in for a new one, please carefully place the discarded item under the manhole cover in front within 32 seconds to facilitate your claim.]

[A malicious, cursing phone call. It's recommended that you forward it to the relevant telecommunications fraud authorities or to your enemies.]

[The mayor is preoccupied, unaware that his lost wedding ring was actually stolen by his mistress.]

[The other party is a dangerous creature of a far superior species, noble in status, and impeccably beautiful. Her only flaw is her desire for pure, romantic love, regardless of race.]

...

Okay,

now that you've learned to read the message, quickly go and kill the monsters invading this planet!

You look up, gazing at the stellar-level behemoth looming in the void, its edge unseen.

You decide to let it go for now.
