Are Your Dungeons Even Playable?

Transmigrated into a gamified world, Lu Xiu discovers she has only twenty-three days left to live. Unaccustomed to her new body, she dares not enter dangerous dungeons to earn survival time, yet she refuses to endure the tedium of watching advertisements for extra life. With no other options, she turns to dungeon design as her sole means of survival. Approaching the task with desperate resolve, she creates her first instance based directly on existing video game mechanics. The result leaves players furious, crying out, “Are these dungeons even meant for humans?” Yet, as time passes, her creations gain infamy and prestige. Skills such as Atypical Courage from Resident Evil, Bonfire Embers from Dark Souls, Health Regeneration from FPS titles, and Perfect Parry from action games appear on player lists. Rare items like Hand Sanitizer, Shiva’s Blood, the Anti-Titan Weapon LG-97 Thunderbolt, and Isshin’s White Sheath fill inventories across the server. Lu Xiu accumulates an overwhelming array of titles: Legendary Architect, Pioneer of Mythical Dungeons, Forger of Yama’s Armaments, Chosen Swordbearer, Goddess’s Blade, Lord of Valhalla, Top Player, Undefeated God of War on the Frontlines, and Legendary Partner of the Coordination Bureau. Despite her soaring status, she remains bewildered by her own success. After all, she never intended to become a legend; she simply wanted to survive.
