Nightmare Express
Myths about the Nightmare Express state that whoever rides the train between 11:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. will be sent to another dimension. A scary one. Others thought it was probably just a way to scare teenagers into coming home early.
But office workers like Ren had no choice. Overtime pay is the most important, and so he rode the train at 11:11 p.m. to go home, back to his cheap apartment.
This situation was what greeted the crazy-but-not-too-crazy villain from another universe, who was also named Ren. He just had his soul transmigrated into the salaryman's body after pathetically dying in the hero's hand because he forgot that he was supposed to resist. It's better to die quicker, anyway. There's just no fun in that world. That righteous insect keeps on winning for some reason. It was so tiring for a villain like him!
From then on, Ren had to face and survive the nightmare instances given to them by the "Nightmare Express" together with his newly-found-worthy colleagues and pig teammates.

An excerpt from the novel:
[Congratulations, player no. 250 Ren, for successfully finishing the instance! Here's your reward.]
[Item: Red Envelope (Hong Bao)]
[Rank: F (Trash)]
[Sorry, I can't give you money. I'm so useless, ah.]
Ren opened the envelope and fell into silence. "..." Fuck, it was indeed empty. Then what was it for?!

A promise of daily updates, a story that will focus on the plot more than romance (this is, in fact, a no-romance novel), an unconventional protagonist who will not have a female lead but would rather enjoy every instance while creating a team of strong colleagues along the way, no harems and mindless simps, every character will have their own development and personality, and the twisted mysteries!
Beware of mature contents (not really that bad, but it's better to be warned). Not the sexual kind of mature content, though. More like, gory and other bloody themes. But not too bloody.
