I Slaughtered My Way Through a Female-Oriented Power Fantasy, Then They Told Me It Was Real

I’m Li Qing, a veteran single-player gamer. When I received an invitation to beta-test a new game, I thought it was just another title to add to my collection. To my surprise, it turned out to be the ultimate power-fantasy experience—a female-oriented storyline with no restrictions, smooth combat, zero bugs, and even five playable characters to choose from. Pure bliss. But after I cleared the entire game, something strange happened. Several women came looking for me. “One day, after I came out of seclusion, a voice suddenly appeared in my mind,” one of them later explained. “It said things I couldn’t understand at all—save points, side quests, map exploration, clearing question marks… ‘This power fantasy is so much fun,’ and so on. Then it took control of my body and did countless things: refining a Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner, massacring sects, betraying my masters and ancestors, and slaughtering countless so-called ‘protagonists.’” “Sure, I felt an incredible thrill throughout all of it. But I swear, I was completely innocent! I was just the first character being controlled—Lin Qingxue, a Mahayana-stage cultivator.”
