Luo Shu's vision blurred briefly, and in a flash, he found himself in a different place. White—everything was blanketed in pure white.
He looked around. It was an elliptical, spotless room, devoid of any items or furnishings, without even a light source. The soft white glow seemed to emanate from the walls themselves.

This cascade of information filled Luo Shu's view.
Finally removed from the eerie scenario and its looming threats, Luo Shu's heartbeat calmed, his thoughts returning to a "normal" state. For a moment, he found himself a little dazed, processing the barrage of details.
"Domains unlocked?"
"What are these 'Domains' about?"
The game system quickly replied:
['Domains' are unique skill categories in Horror Game, representing areas of proficiency. These domains strengthen based on your in-game performance, akin to skill levels. The higher your domain rank, the better skills and equipment you can access. Domain ranks, in ascending order, are E, D, C, B, A, and S.]
Luo Shu pursed his lips, nodding thoughtfully.
"Not bad."
"Dragging people into a global horror game by force is certainly twisted, but I have to admit the customer service is on point."
Calm and adaptable, Luo Shu was the type to accept his situation, even now joking about Horror Game's ominous mystery. This side of his personality often led others to believe he was a bit… unhinged.
He asked another question, "What are the rating levels, and how is the scoring determined?"
The system swiftly displayed the answer.
Scanning through, Luo Shu noted that the lowest rating, E-, resulted in a 90% reduction in experience points and game coins. In other words, that would be reserved for complete slackers.
But he took this as good news. At least even slackers could still clear the game.
At the top, S+ rewarded a 200% increase in experience and coins.
Seeing this, Luo Shu's face twisted slightly in dismay. "Only A+ for me…? There's still S-, S, and S+ above that!"
The more he thought about it, the more it irked him. "Missed by three whole ranks!"
He clutched his head, muttering in shock, "Did I… actually blow the test?"
Clearly, Luo Shu was not what you'd call "normal." He had suddenly been forced into a supernatural game of life and death, and yet he still had the overachiever's obsession with a perfect score.
Meanwhile, back in the outside world…
After Luo Shu completed his game, his live stream went into a 180-second countdown before closing. The screen was black, showing only two lines of text:
[Player Successfully Cleared!]
[Overall Rating: A+]
Unlike Luo Shu's frustration, the 26 viewers in his stream were completely stunned by the high score.
[A+?!?]
[Have you guys ever seen A+ before?]
[Once… caught a glimpse in that Wind Lady's stream… only once…]
The so-called "Wind Lady" was a well-known, respected player, one of the first wave forced into Horror Game six months ago and had since earned a fair bit of fame.
[Yeah, I've seen it a few times too, but this is a newbie! In a beginner mission!]
[I've never seen anyone uncover a hidden mission on a newbie task!]
[That dissection scene… excuse me while I go puke.]
[Luo Shu! Someone looks this guy up! Where did he come from?]
[I'm clipping this and posting it! This guy is epic!!]
[Instant follow.]
[If he survives five or six more scenarios, he could become a mini boss in this game.]
[Whoa, bold claim there. Look at all the top-tier players' newbie mission records. Anyone else come close to what he did?]
[There are some—like Officer Aaron. He scored an S-.]
Officer Aaron was a renowned high-ranking player. Another viewer chimed in:
[Sure, Aaron was fast, but Luo Shu missed the S rating because he took his time! He's something else.]
[Running out of words here. I think… 'cult-classic' sums him up.]
[Yes! That's perfect! Cult classic!]
The small crowd of twenty-six fans excitedly kept the conversation going until the stream officially closed. By now, everyone had clicked "Follow."
…
"Four more followers… 26 now." Luo Shu noticed the real-time follower count.
All it took was a thought to pull up his personal panel. He had already figured out most of what he needed.
