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!

[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.]

Blue rain fell from the sky.

An unknown monster suddenly descended upon this world.

Human society collapsed in an instant.

No plug-ins, no protagonist halo, no spiritual energy revival!

Every step we take is towards despair!

To those who died at the beginning of the end of the world, I envy you because you have not experienced a despair more desperate than death.

My name is Chen Ge, and I will witness the coming of the end of the world.

When I woke up, darkness enveloped the outside world, a storm raged, and unknown bloodstains stained the corners of the walls. Heartbreaking cries echoed in my ears, and a figure outside the window never left.

And you and countless other survivors shiver in your own ten-square-meter shelter.

You were starving, so you opened the door a crack and peered out.

[Probability of catching a cold after going out in the rain: 100%]

A cold isn't a disease; it just lowers your immunity and increases your chances of getting infected. Remember to exercise more often!

Probability of finding food: 80%

Food isn't hard to find; after all, what bad intentions would a game have to deny you food? The remaining 20% ​​chance is that you might die out there on the spot.

[Probability of being possessed by an evil spirit: 100%]

—Although it's quite sad, what's a demon compared to starving to death? Let's just do it!

[Probability of encountering a treasure chest: 10%]

—Are there good things out there? Don't just think about it, take action!
