Background

Zhou Yue is a Spirit Cloud Sect True Disciple and Lin Qingxuan's disciple. He regards his life as being shaped by a calamitous fate and repeatedly seeks ways to break free from it, including through games and cultivation breakthroughs. He later declares that his destiny has been broken, though extraordinary misfortune continues to follow him. 92 99 100

He begins his cultivation journey in the survival-themed Illusion Realm, where he eventually gains a fifth-grade Earth Spirit Root. His Foundation Establishment attempt is disastrous: a 99-strike Thunder Tribulation kills him, after which he resurrects charred and afflicted by lingering abnormal statuses. 125 133

Personality

Zhou Yue is competitive, resilient, and proud. Setbacks—particularly those caused by his poor luck—frustrate him, but rarely stop him from trying again. He is eager to prove himself against opponents and can rush into danger when provoked. 99 152 260

He is also capable of adapting quickly during games. He uses ambushes, terrain, movement tools, and team coordination effectively, though he sometimes underestimates enemies or becomes distracted by valuable loot. 153 261 264 279

Story Role / Major Arcs

Four Together and Three Kingdoms Kill

Zhou Yue participates in the “Four Together” challenge with Zhong Yi, Mu Yawen, and Zhou Qiaoling. His cursed luck repeatedly triggers traps, culminating in his fall into magma after a platform disappears. 92 93

In Three Kingdoms Kill, he attempts to overcome his bad luck through Self-Inflicted Injury and card draws, but repeatedly suffers disastrous Lightning judgments and weak draws. Despite his frustration, he keeps playing and later becomes invested in the game's recharge offers. 99 100 101 104

Cultivation and Secret Realm Survival

Zhou Yue awakens a fifth-grade Earth Spirit Root after falling behind the others in gaining experience. He later attempts Foundation Establishment, but his tribulation strikes him 99 times and leaves him in an embarrassing, status-afflicted state after resurrection. 125 133

After entering a Secret Realm on a lone dirt block, he persists through the challenge under Zhong Yi's remote guidance. 134 135

Bed Wars and Random Events

During Bed Wars, Zhou Yue secures resources, fights multiple enemies alone, and repeatedly coordinates with Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen. He wins the Chaos Orb event by collecting 100 Chaos Shards, only for the resulting Black Curtain to attack him rather than assist him. 152 153 154 155

Demonic Murder

As a novice in Demonic Murder, Zhou Yue receives the Painted Skin role and relies on Zhong Yi's knowledge. After Zhong Yi is accidentally killed, Zhou Yue's genuine grief convinces others that he is a good player; he then resolves to use Painted Skin deceptively. 187 188

He later plays Undertaker and Taotie, but remains plagued by unlucky role interactions and is ultimately outplayed by Zhou Qiaoling's Plague skill despite eliminating the other survivors. 189 190

Immortal-Demon Supremacy

He later enters Ranked Mode with Zhong Yi, confidently claiming he can carry him. 214

Naraka: Bladepoint

Zhou Yue joins Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen in the “Chosen One” mode. He acquires weapons and equipment, fights Wanzi Daoren, and learns firsthand how severely higher-quality gear can determine an engagement. 259 261 262

After being ambushed and robbed, he joins his teammates in retaliation. Against Jiang Lingfeng, he counters a formation that neutralizes weapon clashes by using an unarmed punch to stun him, then chains Rising Dragon attacks into his self-named “Wok Tossing” combo. 264 265 279
