When unknown beings calling themselves “players” invade and turn Earth into a card-hunting game, Feng Ling is tagged as the hidden boss they’re ordered to kill. Six months into the invasion, her city is a curfewed high-risk zone crawling with “other-species” monsters. Feng Ling drags a dying specimen home, ties it to a table, and dissects it for the ability cards rumored to grant powers. A blood-red card etched with a single eye rises from the gore—and melts into her fingertips. The interface in her head glitches with warnings and corrupted text, then delivers one verdict: she isn’t a player. The card’s “gene” mutates anyway, ripping through her body in a brutal rewrite, and every invader’s status panel lights up: Hidden Boss—Mother Nest (juvenile). Eliminate on sight.
Now hunted like loot, Feng Ling must learn the invaders’ rules while her bugged Mother Nest power makes her frighteningly hard to kill and keeps evolving with every clash. The longer she lasts, the more players converge, until survival means clearing them first. Expect ruthless fights, body-horror upgrades, and a heroine who turns a kill-quest into a counter-hunt.
