What Is The Ending Of I Became A Godin A Horror Game?

This was also the conclusion I had hoped for ‘I Became a God in a Horror Game’. Rather than being dragged back into the weird and often violent world of the game, Bai Liu has, at last, managed to leave it behind in a rather peaceful and even serene manner. It is some time on from the end of the last chapter, and in this strange merged worldline of his there is none of the dark pressure that there once was. The only real sense of trouble is in a rather unusual epilogue, in which Bai Liu decides not to bring his old self back into the peaceful timelines of his friends. The damage that he had done, and the weight of what he had seen, were such that it is made very clear that to bring that self to their doorsteps would be to risk bringing trouble to them. The main exception to this is Scheta / Xieta, and the scenes of the two of them together are wonderful domestic scenes. Here, Bai Liu has traded the dark, powerful, often (appallingly) monstrous choices of the game for the chance to make hotpot, take the other for a ride on his motorcycle, and share in the intimate details of the other’s daily life. If you have been following along the larger arcs of the story as they have unfolded, then you will know that Bai Liu was constantly forced to make choice after monstrous choice in the game. Some of these had been set up as potential ‘endings’ for the story – that is to say in some cases he had been set up as the heir-of-the-evil-god type figure, with all the danger that such a ‘true end’ entailed for the world outside of the game. Other arcs had played out in very different terms, and all had culminated in him being set up with tremendous difficulty with the choice of sacrificing either himself or others in order to prevent the game ‘leaking’ into the real world. His choice here, in the end, is a small and even, in the end, rather beautiful one – to decline all that in order to go and live with Scheta / Xieta in a perfectly ordinary and quiet fashion. It is a conclusion that is in many ways both incredibly tender and – after all that had gone before – deeply, sometimes even bitterly, earned. I finished the book with a smile on my face, and a faint sense of bruising.

The ending of the novel ‘I Became a God in a Horror Game’ is gentle and brings peace after a long and bloody road. After the very complex climactic events Bai Liu is back in the merged reality. Because most people lost memory of his awful actions in the game or they were manipulated to forget them by Bai Liu himself, he can now simply return to the world and not bring back any painful memories for anyone. In the merged reality he can find only one person, Xieta. They return to their life together. Simple things like having hotpot, getting a new motorcycle, conversations that don’t carry too much weight, etc. The epilogue explains that saving the world came at a very high personal cost and that there is nothing he can do to bring back what he destroyed. The ending of the novel provides the solution to the ongoing moral conundrum of the story: is it better to become a god and use huge power to fix things, or to not use that power and thus let things be as they are and even protect others from being affected by it, even if that means giving up personal connections with others for good? Bai Liu chooses the second option and his solution is simple yet very powerful: he gives up his ‘god-like’ status of a hero and instead chooses to be with one person and protect her from now on. The ending is bittersweet, though, because even though he was able to give up the spotlight and was able to leave the game behind, he can never go back to the connections he had with others in the world.

(This contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the ending of the book “I Became a God in a Horror Game” by Bai Liu). So, instead of going down the route of becoming the evil-god heir or even triggering the game’s ‘true’ end of destruction, Bai Liu steps out of the center of the horror-machine and into a merged world that is mostly normal. Most people have forgotten the traumatic experiences of his past. He chooses to protect others by not returning to their lives, and instead stays with Xieta to build an ordinary life for himself, including going out for hotpot, riding a motorcycle, and other simple comforts that he’s never had before. I was surprised by how tender and human the end of this book was, instead of lots of action or spectacular moments.
