The Absolute Death Option

Someone once said that life is a multiple-choice question. At every moment, you have to make all kinds of choices, and you might succeed or you might fail.

Just two minutes ago, Yan Ao made the most important choice of his life.

○: Take part in the game and become a plaything of the gods, endlessly entertaining them.

X: Die.

Note: This is a slow-burn story. The protagonist is an ordinary high school student, not an overpowered hero who starts off slaughtering everyone. His personality will change later on. The female lead is optional.
