“What’s the most despairing way to die? Social death.”

“I was the only person in my class who played Uma Musume and watched Uma Musume…”

“That’s how I ended up getting bullied and labeled a hopeless shut-in by my classmates…”

“Every time my classmates saw me, they called me a hopeless shut-in. They did it in front of other people, too.”

“One time, a friend with a screw loose called me a hopeless shut-in in the class group chat. He quickly unsent it when he realized he’d posted in the wrong group, but I still…”

“Died of embarrassment.”

Suddenly, the world spun around me. Everything nearby seemed to whirl wildly, and every blood vessel in my body throbbed violently, as if my whole being were about to be torn apart. I tried my best to steady myself, but my legs had lost their strength and wouldn’t obey me. I could only watch helplessly as I fell backward…

Not long after, I suddenly opened my eyes. Everything in front of me was blurry…

And so I was given a name: Xingmang Qimeng.

“Wait, what the heck is a Grindset System?!”

“No! I worked hard enough in my previous life. I don’t want to work myself to the bone in this life!!!!!!”

“Somebody save me!”

…

Heart pounding, dust flying!

Racing across the track, passion shining through!

Surpassing, replacing,
