《Abyssal Proxy: Cthulhu's System Paradox》

**When a VR game becomes an eldritch baptism, surviving means embracing the very corruption killing you.**

Cheng Ye never wanted to be a hero. He only logged into *Eclipse Online* to escape his dead-end job. But when 500 players awaken trapped in a cathedral crawling with biomechanical tentacles, their "game" reveals horrifying new rules:- **300% pain sensitivity** with permadeath- A glitched skill called [DATA CORRUPTED] that lets him **devour monsters** for power- A ticking **"Cognition Contamination"** meter mutating his body

To resist the Old God's assimilation, Cheng must **consume other infected players** - each feast granting him their memories alongside grotesque powers. But the price escalates:☠️ His "Sanity Pool" depletes faster with every **Old God-aligned skill** unlocked☠️ NPCs bleed black oil when he uses [Abyssal Gaze] to reveal their **true eldritch forms**☠️ The enigmatic Sister Angela keeps whispering: *"The 499th sacrament awaits your choice, Proxy."*

As reality itself glitches - showing the game world overlapping with his **real-life city** - Cheng discovers the awful truth:The "server" is Cthulhu's dreaming prison.The players aren't random.And his "character creation" happened **23 years before he was born.**
