I’ve Got Half a Kilo of Electricity, What Could I Possibly Fear?

In 2025, the global energy crisis worsens, and electricity becomes a strategic resource. One day, Lin Yi, an ordinary 24-year-old office worker, gets trapped in an elevator while working overtime and is struck by a mysterious bolt of lightning. It doesn’t kill him. Instead, it injects something inexplicable into his body.

From then on, a line appears on his phone screen:

“Remaining charge: 0.5 kg (equivalent energy: 4.5×10^16 J)”

At first, he thinks his phone is broken. Then he discovers that, if he wants, he can charge anything: a phone, an electric car, an entire building, even a whole city.

Half a kilogram of electricity: 450 quadrillion joules. Enough to power all of humanity for two days, or to last him several lifetimes.

But this world has never believed in miracles. It believes only in control. When governments, corporations, and ambitious schemers all set their sights on this “half kilogram of electricity,” Lin Yi realizes his greatest enemies aren’t the people trying to take it from him, but those who want him to “make a sacrifice for humanity.”
