The Vacuum Decay Era: A Meow-Guide to the Fourth Calamity

Also known as: After Turning into a Cat, This Wage Slave Caught a Bird and Blew Up the Universe

Your job applications disappear into a black hole? Don’t panic.

Lin Mo had barely graduated when a car accident landed him a job as a “Civilization Observer.”

The good news: he became immortal.

The bad news: he turned into a stray cat so hungry his eyes glowed green.

The even worse news: his paws were itching to catch birds, and one “critical hit, 3 damage” triggered the universe’s ultimate bug: vacuum decay!

[System Notice]: Congratulations! You are the starting point of a new universe, the only substance that can survive the reboot of the universe!

[Additional Clause]: You are strictly forbidden from deliberately destroying civilizations (though you’ve already done it once by accident).

Now, as a cat saddled with the identity of “the universe reboot button,” Lin Mo faces the greatest challenge of his cat life:

How can he use his paws to guide a bunch of primitive people who eat raw meat and drink blood as they develop civilization?

How can he stop the next idiot (himself, for instance) from triggering another big bang, with the “destruction threshold” growing exponentially?

Then he discovers a hidden System feature: [The Fourth Calamity Protocol]

“Workers of Earth, are you ready for a hardcore ‘game’ with pain set to 100%? This kitty desperately needs a bunch of fearless calamities… to work and save the world!”

And then the whole tone changes:

Player A: “Can I pet this BOSS cat?” (Dead. Respawn point: Cat God Altar.)

Orc genius: “Otherworldly heroes can’t die? Brilliant! They’ll make perfect cannon fodder for the empire… Wait, don’t touch my TNT warehouse!!!”
