Summary
After dying in a previous mission, Lu Ming is given one last chance: win a brutal tournament inside a horror game and return home. His survival depends on a powerful “beast,” so he buys Jiang Ge, a chained, violent young man every other player fears. Jiang Ge proves to be the hidden boss—and far more interested in Lu Ming than in freedom. Praise makes him obedient, rejection makes him desperate, and punishment only excites him. As the tournament’s enslaved fighters turn on their masters, Lu Ming must decide whether the most dangerous creature in the game is also the only one he can trust.
