    • ICSST CH56: Sincerity Cover
      by Aria — "What did my mom ever do to you guys? Why are all of you so eager to meet her?" Zhou Qi’an’s expression was already difficult to describe. But when he instinctively glanced around the classroom in exasperation, he noticed that some of the students looked even more unsettled than he did—including that carefree youth from earlier. Most players who could make it into a four-and-a-half-star instance were experienced. It wasn’t normal for them to react oddly just because someone else was in…
    • ICSST CH55.2: School Cover
      by Aria — Zhou Qi’an could feel the air in the classroom tighten—the atmosphere had suddenly become tense. He lowered his gaze slightly. The game didn’t specify the exact number of players, only mentioning "44 competitors." This meant that NPCs were also part of the competition. Everyone had been equipped with the same learning tools. Zhou Qi’an gripped the ballpoint pen that had materialized on his desk, his eyes flashing behind his black-rimmed glasses. "44 people, fighting for 8 survival…
    • ICSST CH55.1: School Cover
      by Aria — At dusk, after finishing work and returning home, Zhou Qi’an went straight to the bathroom, wanting to wash away the exhaustion of the day with a shower. His mother wasn’t home. She had left behind a note saying she had gone to Dun City and asked him to return the luggage at home to the neighbors. "Looks like she left in a hurry." But when Zhou Qi’an saw over a dozen suitcases, his eyelids twitched violently. Even after showering, he couldn’t shake off the chilling feeling lingering…
    • ICSST CH54: Showing Weakness Cover
      by Aria — Zhou Qi’an trembled alone. Red Cloak’s gaze toward him grew more complicated. The swirling steam around him was like the mist shrouding his presence—impossible to see through. But she quickly regained her composure. Staff members were arrogant and would never lower themselves to curry favor with players. Even in the worst-case scenario, if an employee’s vehicle really ended up in a player’s hands, the two sides would become enemies, not engage in some friendly transaction. This…
    • ICSST CH53: The Sheep Has Arrived Cover
      by Aria — It took Zhou Qi’an a moment to fully confirm that they were after his mother, not him. Red Cloak interpreted his shock as rage and curled her lips. “That’s right. We’re taking your mother.” Family was always a weak point. She narrowed her eyes in delight, staring at his flawless face, free of even the smallest pore. She was ready to savor his upcoming powerless fury and the moment he would finally yield. The angrier he got, the happier she would be. Zhou Qi’an stayed silent for an…
    • ICSST CH52: Real World [Arc 3] Cover
      by Aria — The fire appeared even earlier than the morning star. The massive impact did not cause as much destruction as one might have expected. This was within Zhou Qi’an’s expectations. The staff likely had ways to control the fire, just like how Mr. Si had once extinguished a large-scale blaze with nothing more than a fire extinguisher. Bai Chanyi was the first to react, her face still unnaturally pale in the firelight. “You…” Zhou Qi’an accidentally inhaled a few mouthfuls of thick smoke…

      ICSST CH51: End

      ICSST CH51: End Cover
      by Aria — The mercy the female ghost left for the long-haired ghost was far deeper than imagined. If it were Zhou Qi'an, and he had turned into a ghost, he wouldn't have just left a window for a betraying friend to experience the outside world—if he didn’t tear the other person apart to make a window out of them, that would already be merciful enough. Being naturally weak, blind, and easily manipulated—none of these were reasons for him to forgive. At first, he had been deliberately imitating, but as…
    • ICSST CH50: Face to Face Cover
      by Aria — Fifteen minutes ago, Jinxiang Towet, top floor. From its construction to its decline over the past few decades, countless people have died within this building. Their corpses had been ground to dust and used to pave the floors and paint the walls. If one were to lay out a blueprint of the place, it would likely be covered in torn remnants of the dead. Bai Chanyi was the first to step off the escalator, with a third of the cake still in her hand. The thick pools of blood around her were unavoidable,…
    • ICSST CH49: The Scapegoat Cover
      by Aria — Zhou Qi’an took the dining knife, his expression unreadable. Seeing that Zhou Qi’an hadn’t melted into cream but instead stood before him, knife raised high, the sterilization suit was momentarily disappointed. But soon, he became excited again. "Good, very good… That makes you a witness to the wedding as well…" Beneath the chef’s uniform, the already broken, blood-red flesh twisted and wriggled, reflecting its owner’s excitement. His legs were bound by slender black shadows, yet…
    • ICSST CH48: Apology Gift Cover
      by Aria — Mu Tianbai: "The chef is missing." A dry and abrupt change of subject, but an effective one. Zhou Qi’an glanced around—sure enough, the sterilization suit chef was gone. Dong. The midnight chime rang out, its echo hollow and eerie, making the entire building shudder faintly in the darkness. Before the sound had even faded, a piercing scream erupted outside. But the wretched cry barely lasted three seconds before weakening into nothingness, dissolving like mist. A moment later, the…
