I Achieve Immortality by Playing Video Games

Lin Nan accidentally downloads a game called Exile: Closed Beta.

It's a crude text adventure with no graphics or music, just lines of text and countless choices.

From the start, Lin Nan draws the only hidden relic, the Hourglass of Time, which lets him rewind time.

You have died! Lifespan -1. Remaining lifespan: 55 years.

Time rewinds. You return to the moment before your death. What will you do this time?

You killed a werewolf and gained 326 years of lifespan. Remaining lifespan: 381 years.
