I’m Almost Dead, So What If I Play Video Games?

My name is Lin Yang. A month ago, I asked the doctor how long I had left to live. He held up five fingers. It reminded me of a meme on Douyin, and I was afraid he’d suddenly hold up four fingers and start counting down while checking his watch. Thankfully, he said five months. Wait! Five months is still terrible! I’ve got a ton of money I haven’t spent yet! But sadly, if there’s no cure, there’s no cure. Just as I was about to give up hope, I noticed an electronic cultivation game on my phone. Before long, I was hooked. I spent money on cultivation manuals and magical artifacts for my characters. But that was fine. I had plenty of money, and the point was to have fun! I was going to die anyway, so what was wrong with playing video games? Lin Yang always thought he was just playing an ordinary video game, until one day he found his room filled with pills, magical artifacts, and cultivation manuals, and fell into deep thought. “Maybe… I don’t have to die after all?” And it was just then that three planes of existence quietly began to merge. Not long afterward, two figures as majestic as gods appeared in Lin Yang’s world. “Master, Bing’er has come to take you home.” “Husband, I’m here to take you home.”
