(Absolute egoism, pure dark fiction. Do-gooders, stay away!)
Was it Zhuang Zhou dreaming he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming it was Zhuang Zhou?
When Gu Fan awoke from his slumber, he laughed without restraint!
He had dreamed of the apocalypse, and of the anguished cries of the living.
He had seen the once lofty celebrity school belles meekly bowing and scraping for a packet of instant noodles.
The mighty rich and powerful had fought until they were bruised and bleeding over a single piece of bread.
But what did any of that have to do with him? Weakness is a sin, and the survival of the fittest is this world's eternal, unchanging law!
All he wants is to live as he pleases amid the cries of the apocalypse, using the bones of all humanity as steps to climb, one step at a time, to the godhood everyone longs for!
Finale: A sharp knife pierces the chest. The protagonist discovers that everything is a conspiracy of the adoptive father. He is just a pawn and has never been freed from his control. The other half he has supported since childhood is just a female slave of the adoptive father. Everything is too late. The protagonist is so unhappy that he burps [laughs and cries]
A novel with a single female protagonist and the formation of a power will definitely have a rescue plot and not be too dark.
