The heroine is a zombie. She is very weak in the early stage and relies on the hero to survive. She will evolve and become stronger in the later stage.

The heroine is sickly, possessive, and vindictive. In the early stage, the heroine is raised as a goose girl, and in the later stage, the parents’ love deteriorates. Both of them are dark and twisted, hugging each other for warmth, and have weak moral concepts.

When she woke up again, she became a real zombie and needed to eat raw meat and drink blood to survive.

Her first prey was a beautiful and weak man.

Until one day, the man’s eyes began to look strange when he looked at her.

A human was actually sniffing her neck: “Baby, you smell so good, can I have a bite?”

She shivered as she typed in “hot spring street.”

The entire world was swept into a bizarre survival game.

Temperatures plummeted, monsters invaded from all sides, resources were scarce, and all warm things vanished from the world, plunging it into an endless winter.

In the tenth year after the game began, the despairing players unexpectedly discovered…

At the foot of a snowy mountain, there was actually a hot spring inn surrounded by rising steam.

—Amid the vast snowy mist, a warm orange light glowed. Steam lingered in the air, the smell of sulfur filled their noses, and as they approached, calm and peaceful background music played in their ears.

The players, realizing what they had found, immediately went wild.

Shu Mo’s hot spring inn quickly became explosively popular, and its business scope gradually expanded.

From various hot springs, foot baths, and saunas,

to steaming oden, hot pot, and ramen,

and even to speciality shops and water parks…

Reluctantly leaving Shu Mo’s inn, the players were shocked to find that they had gained all sorts of buffs on their bodies!

【 Sulfur Foot Bath 】Agility +3, movement speed +3 (effect lasts 24 hours)

【 Speciality: Red Bean Bun 】Instantly restores 20 stamina points (carry limit *6)

…

The players who had already stepped out of the door quickly turned around and went back inside.

What kind of resort is this? This is clearly a massive health pack!!

Accidentally turning the survival game into an idle mobile game, Shu Mo suddenly snapped out of it one day and realized that the game had actually been cleared.

The players, brave and unmatched, with countless buffs above their heads and backpacks full of stamina and mana-restoring specialities, had wiped out the monsters’ lair.

Looking at the “Savior” title that had appeared above her head, Shu Mo: ???

Having finally become a noble lady in ancient times, Lin Mo decided to cherish this wonderful life! After living a lazy life for over a decade after crossing over, Lin Mo originally planned to continue like this, but her father, fearing she might starve, directly gave her an official position.

“Ahhh! I don’t want to go to work! Why do I have to go to work!” Lin Mo cried and rolled on the ground.

But after starting work, life didn't seem so difficult, and she even got a "melon-eating" system. The whole court was full of drama!

From then on, Lin Mo and the system would attend court every day to watch the drama. However, the system had a flaw: everyone could hear their thoughts!

While the male and female leads were sweetly punishing s*um in the apocalypse, she was one of the s*um being punished.

At the start, she was abandoned by the protagonist squad; in the end, she became a mindless, clawing zombie with no intact skin, finally dying under the guns of the male and female leads.

The damage was done, so Pei Xiqing chose to give up.

Rather than being timid and submissive, she might as well join the zombie ranks.

Everyone thought Pei Xiqing's death was satisfying, and even wanted to see her ugly, pus-covered zombie face begging for mercy.

Until one day, the zombie outbreak exploded again in the apocalypse.

The protagonist squad kept losing ground, miserable and struggling, while a beautiful zombie leisurely took selfies in the zombie horde.

Just as the male and female leads were pushed to a desperate corner by the zombies and tried to fight their way out, the beautiful, delicate zombie next to them was calmly packing up, ready to flee.

Who would’ve thought that the famously cold and ruthless Chief Arbiter—who was known for showing no mercy to zombies—would suddenly hold that pretty zombie in his arms and carry her away.

His life follows a monotonous routine, calm and uneventful, until an unexpected fall from a building. After resurrecting, Cen Xun suddenly discovers the secrets of this world.

For example, he can hear the thoughts of those around him and learns that a group of individuals calling themselves “players” has infiltrated his students.

“Awooo! Our professor is just too stunning—third time checking in! Gotta take a selfie!”

“I can’t bear to part with our gorgeous professor. It’s rare for the dog game to have such a beautiful model, but sadly, H University is about to become a B-rank Eerie Domain. The professor isn’t a main character, so he’ll probably be cannon fodder in the end, wuwuwu.”

Cen Xun sneered. Cannon Fodder? Impossible.

Holographic Horror Game [Nightmare World] Forum

Player 1: “Can the officials explain the B-rank Eerie Domain ‘Lost Campus’? I teamed up with a top-100 ranked expert to run it three times, and we got completely wiped out every time. How is this fair?”

Player 2: “Are you living under a rock? This instance was upgraded to an S-rank instance ages ago. Apparently, the boss absorbed other Eerie Domains and even allied with several Domain Lords. The monsters from different instances now visit each other like neighbors—winning is a joke.”

Player 3: “I’ve lost all hope. The Dean of the Media College is the S+ level ‘Thousand-Eyed Reporter’ from the TV Station instance, the Dean of Computer Science is an infamous entity with game-wide bounty, and even the cafeteria worker at the food window is an S-level Domain Lord! So, tell me, what rank is the Chancellor?”

Player 4: “My beloved Professor Cen is kind, gentle, and weak—surrounded by all these powerhouses, he’s definitely going to be bullied, wuwuwu.”

In 《Nightmare World》, all players share one common White Moonlight.

Before transformation, he was a cold-faced yet warm-hearted folklore professor who willingly sacrificed himself to save students from the corrupted Chancellor—earning the tears of countless players.

After transformation, he became a mysterious and eerie existence, yet still showed goodwill toward players. To protect his students, he dared to challenge Domain Lords alone, taking on high-level monsters in extreme battles.

He was the one pure and noble soul among demons and ghosts.

Players, deeply moved by their professor’s kindness, swore to repay him—rushing to the front lines, willing to spill their blood in his name.

As the game progressed, the system announced the final mission: all players were about to face the ultimate boss—"Gui Sun" level Eldritch God.

On the day of the final battle, players stood ready for war, eyes locked on the highest point, where top-tier nightmare entities gathered.

Then, a familiar figure appeared with elegance.

“My dear students, and my… husband. I hope you have been well.”

Every player’s pupils shook in horror.

Wait, my gentle and delicate White Moonlight Professor is actually the Final Boss?!

One night, after discovering the truth about this world, Cen Xun hurried home, intending to take his husband and escape.

His seemingly upright and abstinent husband was secretly thinking such things.
