I'm Done Playing the Lovesick Supporting Role - Chapter 303.1

The man who appeared was the one who had previously accompanied Liu Yun. He was also one of the creators of the game and, among the three founders, often seemed the most inconspicuous.

However, in reality, he was the backbone of the trio.

He approached Gu Jingyu with deliberate steps, showing no surprise at finding him slumped weakly in the City Lord’s chair.

“Experiment subject number 742. Detected abnormal behavior. Initiating self-destruction protocol,” he declared.

A flash of blue light glimmered in the man’s eyes. Gu Jingyu was immediately ejected from his body, floating in spirit form nearby.

The man seemed slightly surprised to see Gu Jingyu standing beside him in his soul state.

“Detected non-native soul wave. System anomaly…”

Before the man could finish speaking, Gu Jingyu felt an overwhelming sense of danger emanating from him. Acting on instinct, Gu Jingyu fled the area immediately.

The moment he left, a massive data storm erupted around the man, centered on his position.

All the nearby NPCs and players disintegrated into dust.

Meanwhile, in the real world, players connected to the game suddenly stopped breathing.

The incident happened simultaneously across all affected individuals, leaving them unresponsive before anyone could react.

Millions of lives were lost in an instant.

The Heaven’s Reach company failed to detect anything unusual in time. Those who hadn’t logged into the game were horrified to discover they could no longer access it.

The tragedy quickly spread online.

The sheer scale of the deaths, combined with the simultaneous nature of the incidents during gameplay, drew global attention.

Heaven’s Reach, once a celebrated game developer, became the primary target of a worldwide investigation.
