I tried to talk with my “Savior” several times, but he seemed to have an aloof character setting and didn’t really like dealing with me.

This was also a good thing! Aloof senior characters often possessed extremely high supernatural powers. Although he didn’t look like he could fly through the heavens or burrow through earth, he was enough to protect me.

Following my “Savior” Qi Xia, we actually escaped that room.

Although my shoulder hurt terribly, we really did escape.

I originally thought that after escaping, I could return to the real world, but this dream hadn’t ended.

This wasn’t the real world, but rather a red city with an intense rotting stench. I needed to think carefully about which plot segment this was…

Was it the “Underworld”?

No, no… it should be the “Demon Realm”?

According to this plot development… I, I’m a child of the Demon Realm?

I have to tell you all a secret—if you encounter this kind of situation, you absolutely cannot show surprise about this place, because protagonists never show surprise no matter where they travel to.

Read a few more novels and you’ll understand.

Whether traveling to another world, descending to ancient times, possessing a famous person’s body, or being reborn after betrayal, the protagonist must remain composed and not be surprised at all. This is basic web novel practice.

Look, Qi Xia was surprised, so he’s not the protagonist—I am.

Just wait and see. One day when I obtain invincible power, you several people will all be my veteran-level teammates. At that time I’ll establish several guilds and make you all become…

Ah, damn it, it hurts!

Why does being shot through by a harpoon hurt so much?!

The pain interrupted my train of thought again and again, making me irritable and restless.

Protagonists in stories could stand tall against the wind even after being stabbed more than ten times, but I was defeated by a single harpoon.

What that person wearing the dragon-headed mask said just now… made me a bit concerned.

A game lasting ten days?

Wait a minute… could it be that every time I came here to participate in games… it consumed ten days?

That two hundred sixty times… two thousand six hundred days…

Over seven years?!

I had come here for a total of over seven years?!

After being shocked for a few seconds, I immediately understood.

Ordinary novel protagonists casually went into closed-door cultivation for hundreds of thousands of years… I, I was only seven years…

It was nothing… this was nothing…

“Time” was the least valuable thing to me.

But what did that sentence on the screen mean?

“I heard the echo of ‘Inviting Disaster’…”

Without beginning or end, it might be a clue. As the protagonist, I needed to remember it first. Perhaps I could use it later.

The doctor in the team treated my wound. My “Savior” Qi Xia, in order to find a needle and thread to suture my wound, actually entered that female shop clerk’s room.

He was really dedicated. For my sake, he was willing to do anything.

Not only did he liberate me from eternal loops, he even saved my life time and again. As soon as he appeared, Chen Junnan lost his life. Then he led us out of the room. So I was one hundred percent certain he came to save me.

I didn’t expect the night here would be so deep.

And those eight people actually didn’t make a fire.

Although I knew lighters were rather hard to find, you all should at least work hard at it. I couldn’t withstand such a pitch-black environment. What if I heard that girl’s whispers again?

But… it should be fine, right? After all, the “Savior” was with me. No big problem.

The sounds around rustled. Yet I trembled a bit.

I always felt that girl I had slandered to death was speaking. My claustrophobia was acting up again.

“Why did you say I seduced that uncle?”

“Which of your eyes saw that I slept with him even though I was already married?”

“What exactly was your purpose in doing this?”

“Open your eyes and see how miserably I died!!”

I suddenly opened my eyes, only to discover everyone had already fallen asleep.

This place… this place was really too dark!

The situation wasn’t good… the situation really wasn’t good!

In such a dark environment… even if that girl’s vengeful spirit stood beside me, I couldn’t see her!

What should I do?!

Where was the fire?

I climbed up in the pitch darkness, but was tripped several times in a row.

I needed to light a fire immediately… this really wasn’t good…

My shoulder hurt like hell… hurt me to death!

Wait a minute… death?

No, no way… would I die from this little injury?

I, what reason did I have to die?

I was a good person!

Hold on…

I… was I a good person?

All those foolish things I had done were now swirling before my eyes.

I personally caused the death of an innocent girl. I even killed her parents.

What kind of good person was I?

Spreading rumors, passing on false information… this was already a crime worthy of the Tongue-Ripping Hell. I had researched this… I could go to hell for this. How could I be a good person?

All around was complete silence. Only insect chirping could be heard.

I slowly lay down on the ground. Only now did I finally understand—I was actually a villain.

So what if I was the protagonist?

If the protagonist had a dark history, it was enough to lower a book’s rating.

Stop joking… as long as I didn’t say anything… no one should know, right?

So what if I was a villain?

There was no “Chu Qi” here… that “Seven Black Sword” couldn’t possibly fly over… to punish me, this villain, right?

It shouldn’t, shouldn’t be possible, right?

“Seven Black Sword”…

I had already finished writing this novel in one day seven consecutive times. I was too familiar with its plot.

The Seven Black Sword’s method of killing had echoed countless times in my heart, until I heard the whooshing sound of wind.

Why… was there wind?

I instantly felt my lower abdomen sink, as if something heavily pressed down.

The next second was intense pain.

I couldn’t even cry out…

What was going on?!

Who, who could come save me… I seemed… I seemed to be injured again…

I never imagined that after a person was injured, they could go so long without dying. In intense pain, I watched the sky gradually brighten bit by bit, but I couldn’t cry out at all…

Have you all been pierced by something?

I felt like I was constantly leaking air and couldn’t make any sound at all.

I couldn’t move. My spine seemed broken…

After an unknown amount of time, everyone in the room gathered around. They looked at me with shocked faces.

And I also saw the giant sword inserted in my lower abdomen.

It was actually really the Seven Black Sword… I was actually “punished for evil”…

But how was this possible?!

The Seven Black Sword was fabricated by me. It couldn’t possibly appear!

Why did things I fabricated always have such a huge impact on reality?!

Don’t gather around watching me… I, I needed my “Savior”…

“Qi Xia… cough cough…”

I finally managed to speak, but I spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

“I’m here.”

The “Savior” walked over and grasped my hand.

I needed to tell him everything. Only if the “Savior” knew the entire situation did I have any possibility of being saved.

“This… this place isn’t right… Qi Xia… cough cough… this can’t happen… this ‘Seven Black Sword’… absolutely… cough cough… impossible… Qi Xia… the ‘Seven Black Sword’ is not…”

I died.

Damn it!

What the hell did I even say?

Who could tell me how to speak a complete sentence after being pierced through the body by such a huge sword?!

I really was convinced. TV dramas and novels conspired together to deceive me. This made my dying words seem very foolish!

It seemed my novel needed revision again. Next time I needed to describe in detail those people pierced by the “Seven Black Sword”—theoretically, they were unable to give last words. After all, this sword was really too big!

This time I unlocked a new way of dying.

It didn’t matter. Dying a few times didn’t matter. As long as I went to the room again, my “Savior” would still be there waiting for me. This world had manifested the “Seven Black Sword,” which was enough to prove it was a world from a novel!

From now on, as the protagonist in a novel, I would be invincible!

My name is Han Yimo.

I’m going to start lying…

Wait, I don’t need to lie at all, because I know the rules!

Qi Xia, “Savior,” wait for me—I’m coming again!
