The chosen one, come and save the world!
The game said this to Su Yun, and then began its opening animation.
[…In the fifth century AD, the great empire fell apart, countless countries emerged in the flames of war, and strange powers descended upon the world. In this strife, the iron-blooded monarch Flora plowed the continent with her cavalry and created her kingdom. However, all this was not the end of the troubled times, but the beginning of a disaster.]
The music was passionate, and a woman with black hair and red eyes stood with her head held high in a sea of corpses and blood. She had a slight smile on her face and opened her arms towards the people outside the screen, as if showing off her strength and cruelty.
Su Yun heard his own breathing. He knew that Su Wan had come closer to him out of curiosity, but his mind was blank at this moment and he couldn't say anything.
"A female emperor? What an interesting story." Su Wan was a little surprised. "Her clothes are so majestic and have a sense of design."
The story of the empress flashed by, and the general background narration was completed. The game began in full swing. After a soft halo, the game started from the player's perspective. A figure whose back could only be seen was the protagonist brought in by the player. The protagonist stood on a high mountain, looking down at the small village at the foot of the mountain.
Su Wan chirped: "He has long straight black hair. This protagonist is so interesting. Can I see his face?"
This back figure... the long, dull hair was neatly tied behind the head, and a dark cloak covered the clothes, so one could only vaguely see that this was a tall man.
Of course it is impossible to see the front face, the player's vision can only be from back to front.
Su Yun controlled the man to walk down the mountain, with the narration inserting introductions at appropriate times. The scenery along the way was exquisite and dreamy, and the hand-painted animations brought a realistic style that was no different from 3D modeling. Su Yun walked around a tree and was surprised to find that the tree was hand-painted from all angles, including countless frames of treetops changing in the wind.
——This is not just one tree, this is true for everything on the mountain, the vegetation, the rocks, the wildlife.
Su Wan was watching from the side. She was a little disappointed at first, but soon she smiled again: "There is no front face...Huh? These trees are so beautiful."
Su Wan had never been involved in this kind of game or animation production. She only knew to give positive reviews and had no idea of the manpower and resources required. Maybe she thought this was just a normal game?
But this is not normal at all. How can a normal game
Is it possible to make it this way? Even AAA blockbusters with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue would not burn money like this.
Maybe... maybe this is another world altogether, except that it is now presented in a hand-painted way.
Su Yun didn't find it strange at all. He continued walking down and saw a girl with her back to him on a rock beside the mountain road.
Blonde hair and blue dress.
Su Yun asked the character to walk forward, and the character was triggered. The girl sitting on the rock turned her head, and her innocent face, still with tears in her eyes, smiled at him.
When she saw him, she was obviously surprised, her eyes were so beautiful, such a clear blue like the sky and the shallow sea, the delicate hand-painting made these eyes more beautiful than the most beautiful sapphire in the real world.
But... Su Yun had seen more beautiful eyes, and those blue eyes had looked at him with dependence and obsession countless times.
The girl smiled, and then a dialog box appeared on the screen.
[You are the chosen one, what is your name? ]
The naming system popped up, Su Yun looked at the small horizontal line and filled in his name without hesitation.
【Su Yun】
My name is Su Yun.

"...How can you fill in your own name when playing a mobile game?" Su Wan was a little puzzled, "Aren't you supposed to fill in a nickname?"
Su Yun simply ignored her and continued with the story on his own. The stories that were almost the same as in his memory appeared before him one by one. The novice guide and the first card Alice took his hand, and they walked into a small village with simple folk customs at the foot of the mountain.
Everything is exactly the same.
Su Yun just stared blankly at the phone interface. When he finally came to his senses and turned his attention to the real world, he saw his two younger brothers and sisters approaching him from his left and right.
Su Wan pouted: "Brother! Why are you staring at the game? I've called you several times."
Su Rong also regained some of his old self. He said with a little disdain: "Why is it this kind of game? All you need to do is talk. Shouldn't this be played by girls? What's so fun about a game that doesn't focus on operation?"
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun closed the game and said without mercy: "It's almost six o'clock. I won't keep you for dinner. You should leave now."
Su Rong was stunned, as if he couldn't believe that there would be a day when he would be rejected by this big brother. Even Su Wan, who was very good at dealing with people, widened her eyes and said, "Big brother?"
Su Yun: "See you next time."
Su Rong snorted loudly, turned around and sat back on the sofa to show his disdain. Su Wan was still at a loss.
And at this moment, the door of the ward opened.
Li Haochu walked in with a file bag and frowned slightly: "Brother, did they bother you?"
Su Yun shook his head: "No, the gifts Xiao Rong and Xiao Wan gave are very good, but I just want to rest."
Li Haochu was still a little restrained when he saw Su Yun. The pair of silver eyes still floated in his mind. He turned his head to look at Su Rong, subconsciously avoiding Su Yun's sight: "Then we won't disturb your rest. I'll take them away first... The Lin family's children will come back to see you tomorrow at 2 pm. I've already told the nurse."
Su Yun: "Okay, thank you."
"This is the hospital's recommended treatment plan. I've put it here. If you... need a psychologist, you can tell me. Their resumes are also in here." Li Haochu put down the file bag, then turned sideways and opened the door of the ward. He continued to avoid Su Yun's sight, and only used his eyes to signal the Su brothers and sisters to leave.
Su Rong and Su Wan tactfully walked out of the ward. Su Rong said goodbye with a sour face before leaving, while Su Wan stuck out her tongue and said goodbye with a smile, with just the right emotions.
After the two siblings walked out of the ward, Li Haochu finally raised his head and looked directly at Su Yun. This time he only saw a pair of clear brown-black eyes. At this moment, complex emotions surged in Li Haochu's heart again. He couldn't tell whether he was more relieved or disappointed.
Li Haochu coughed uncomfortably: "I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."

Su Yun's relatives finally left the hospital. The nurse diligently brought dinner. Su Yun looked at the exquisite and delicious food on the table, but as expected, he did not feel any appetite.
These foods no longer appeal to him.
So what does he want?
Su Yun sat at the table, mechanically following his grandfather's instructions, eating one mouthful of rice and one mouthful of vegetables. When he thought he was full, he put down his chopsticks. Then he raised his head and stared blankly at the gradually red sunset outside the window.
He has been like this since he was a child. He is like an ancient frozen well. Nothing can make him stir. The only thing he can sense from the outside world is indifference and loneliness.
It was this kind of world that made him unable to develop any dependence. Unlike ordinary people, Su Yun had never had any desire to survive, so out of boredom, he decided to let himself sleep forever.
…But after that he started to have “dreams”.
So Su Yun no longer thought about eternal sleep. He was now happy to live, no matter in which way.
All He ever wanted were His creations, He wanted them.
Humans cannot bring Su Yun any emotions, and Su Yun has spent decades proving this.
Su Yun looked at the mobile phone next to him. He slid open the familiar interface again. The game that once appeared in his memory and disappeared from this world appeared again.
It perfectly coincided with his already vague memory, and Su Yun knew every option and every reasoning in the game by heart.
Soon, the prologue and the first chapter ended one after another, but when the protagonist took Alice on a journey to find the truth, what appeared next was not the prologue of the second chapter.
Countless bright red roses suddenly blossomed on the game screen, and a letter appeared with words like "thank you for the experience" written on it. It also stated that only the first chapter of the game had been released so far, and that the game would be updated soon. The updated content would be the second chapter "Holiness", so stay tuned.
Su Yun stared at the notice in a daze, then he swiped out of the game and began to look for the mobile game of the same name in the game store. However, this was doomed to be in vain. Su Yun simply did not find "cheers! Magical Girl☆" in the publicly available games. No matter how he searched, there was no information about this game.
Su Yun returned to the game interface again, and as expected, this game could not be deleted.
Su Yun cast a suspicious look at his own shadow, and his shadow seemed to shrink right under his nose. Seeing this, Su Yun felt helpless and amused. However, this shrinkage seemed to be the shadow's last stubbornness. No matter how Su Yun looked at it, the shadow did not move.
The sun sets, night falls, and all the lights are turned on. Su Yun first picks up the information that Li Haochu sent him, but there is nothing in it that he wants.
At this time, the nurse came in to clean up the dishes. After he tidied up the room, Su Yun asked him to see his schedule.
Soon the nurse brought the draft document and electronic version. Su Yun opened the notes and found the contact numbers of the doctors and nurses, including the psychologist Qin Chao and the previous nurse.
Su Yun directly dialed Qin Chao's number.
The call was connected the moment it was connected. The person who was talking to Su Yun did not make any sound, but Su Yun could hear his rapid breathing and heartbeat - not just his, but many, many heartbeats.
There were many people present, and they were still alive. It seemed that not many people had died like Qin Chao.
Su Yun ordered softly: "I changed my mind, I want to go to your Ark and Heaven."
The author has something to say: Muah!
