Chapter 1 "You have a bright and glorious future."



[The greatest luck in a person's life is to discover his mission in the middle of his life, that is, when he is young and strong. ]

[If you still can’t win, wait until the next round to try again. If you still can’t see the light of day, pass the torch to the next generation.]

【Everyone knows the baseness and desires of human beings. 】

【However, the remaining nobility and faith have allowed this group of "explorers" to burn in the darkness until now.】

[In the "game" where everything is at stake,]

[——They raised the flames of war against the gods of the sky.]

[The man standing on top of the world, watching over the future of all mankind, gambles his life and death with the planet invaders. ]

[He gazed at his homeland in the distance,]

【Carrying the aspirations of civilization. 】

[——Excerpt from the top 3 popular posts on the Human Forum after the game started on December 31, 2023 (in the future) "No. 1 Player Su Mingan"]

【You are dead.】

Bright red words appeared in front of Su Mingan's eyes, as red as blood, as if strangling his heart.

He panted, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He never thought that today, an ordinary day, would turn out like this...

【Three hours ago】

"Ding Dong! The world game is loading..."

Su Mingan raised his head and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating because he stayed up late to edit the video.

He is 18 years old, a freshman, majoring in psychology, and is interested in reading philosophy and detective novels. He also works part-time as a horror game live streamer, and is relatively well-known.

Today was just an ordinary day. He had just finished his advanced mathematics class when he was called to a coffee shop by someone who claimed to be a staff member of Bilibili...

"Mr. Su, Mr. Su...?"

A female voice came from the front. A red-haired woman was sitting opposite the coffee table. Her long hair was like curly rose petals. Her eyes were gentle and her voice was soft:

"——We would like to invite you to participate in a real-life game."

"Real person game? I don't have this plan for the time being." Su Mingan refused. He is the kind of game anchor who doesn't show his face and has no interest in showing his face.

The sound of paper scraping against the table was heard, and the woman placed her hand on a black card and handed it over.

"This game is a little different." The woman said, "Why don't you take a look."

Su Mingan dropped his gaze.

The blood-red words on the card looked like they were drawn in blood.

[The world is the arena, and real lives are the lifeline——]

[Multiplayer online, unlimited copies! Simulation world, fighting force! ]

【Players from all over the world, fierce competition! Advanced games are waiting for you to play! 】

Su Mingan looked at this informal invitation, chuckled and shook his head.

"Not interested." He threw the black card to her and turned to leave.

"When you leave, do you know what path you will take?" The woman said, "But if this is your choice..."

Su Mingan kept walking.

The woman watched him leave quietly, without trying to keep him, but just smiled subtly.

"You will come back..."

“Swish!”

The vehicles nearby sped past, splashing water on the ground, and Su Mingan jumped to avoid it.

"-- Damn it! It's speeding so fast, is it in a hurry to be reincarnated?" The pedestrians nearby cursed at the truck.

Su Mingan covered his ears that were shocked by the pedestrians and rubbed his eyebrows.

[World game loading...]

He could vaguely hear this sound. It had been there since last night, as if reminding him that something was about to happen.

The scientific world does not believe in magic - he couldn't say such a thing.

He took a taxi because he was going to attend a birthday party for his high school classmate in the evening. In the taxi, a voice came from the car broadcast:

"...According to the information released by the cardiovascular surgery transplantation team of the Xiaoshu Academy of Sciences, the 'double heart surgery' has entered the critical period of experimentation. In the future, combining two hearts can help people prolong their lives. This theory is still in the experimental stage, so please do not imitate it..."

Su Mingan was a little surprised.

This kind of news that may endanger social security can actually be broadcast on the radio.

One heart corresponds to one human life, this is the evolutionary rule of nature. In biology, there is no "rights" as humans say, only various organs, abilities and characteristics. If you want to forcibly violate this and take someone else's heart, you will inevitably take their life.

…buying and selling, transactions, power struggles, moral kidnapping, public opinion, emotional concessions, the trolley problem, and unacceptable substitution and sacrifice. These are all possible problems.

"Here we are, 12 yuan." The driver stopped the car.

Su Mingan paid the fare, arrived at the meeting place, walked to the door and knocked.

A female classmate named Shen Xue took him into the room. Today was her birthday party.

The makeup on her face was very light, but it was obvious that she had been carefully dressed. The swaying lights illuminated her eyebrows and eyes, and her pupils were bright in color, like foggy clouds, and the waves would roll when the wind blew through them, as if any emotions would be blown away from her eyes by the wind.

She took Su Mingan's hand and walked him to the living room step by step.

Su Mingan found that he was the first to arrive. In the kitchen, Shen Xue's distant relative Liu Anna was preparing dinner. Apart from that, there was no one else in the room. Only the scent of incense could be smelled.

"What about the other students? Are they all late?" Su Mingan asked.

"... maybe later." Shen Xue said softly.

A girl at home wearing an apron, the sky gradually darkening, and an ambiguous atmosphere.
