Every rule exists to keep you alive. Break one, and you die.When a devastating earthquake tears reality apart, billions of humans are dragged into the "Rules World" — a nightmarish dimension where survival depends on deciphering bizarre, contradictory rules hidden within each deadly dungeon.[Rule 4: The Black Bear on the sofa is your best friend. Hug it if you feel scared.][Rule 10: Father hates disobedient children.]David, a broke computer science student who just caught his girlfriend in bed with a rich heir, wakes up in a haunted house with ten rules, a ticking clock, and one extraordinary talent: Infinite Deduction — the ability to simulate his future choices and witness his own death before it happens.But there's a catch: he can only use it eight times before his brain shuts down permanently.While others panic and die on the first night, David does what every programmer does with a broken system — he finds the bugs, exploits the loopholes, and turns the rules against themselves.The haunted house was just the tutorial.Behind the dungeons, behind the System, behind the leaderboards — a shadowy consortium of elites is running the greatest death game in human history. And David just crippled the son of one of its founding families.Now the question isn't whether he can survive the next dungeon.It's whether the people who built the game will let him live long enough to break it.
