[System] [Healing] [Slice of Life] [Daily Life] [Slow Pace]
Have you ever wondered what it means to exist, or not to exist?
At 5:50 every morning, Yun Luoxue opens his eyes right on time.
His parents died early. He lives alone in an old apartment complex and gets by working at a convenience store.
He has no lofty ambitions. He just wants a peaceful life: go to work, buy groceries, cook noodles, and pet cats.
Then one day, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The System had activated.
There were no missions, no rewards, only companionship.
He froze for a moment, then said, "Got it."
Life went on as usual, except now there was a gentle voice by his side.
But things started to feel strange.
The flowers and plants grew wildly, the moonlight grew too bright, and the air took on a fresh, clean quality.
Huahua, the stray cat, became unusually clingy. An old fortune-teller at the night market gave him a talisman for protection, saying he was in danger of being hurt. A week later, monsters came.
Only when the talisman shone with golden light did he realize the world was not what he had thought.
An old man from the secondhand bookstore gave him a book he couldn't understand. The old lady at the congee shop said boiled tap water tasted sweeter than before.
None of his neighbors were ordinary, and the voice that kept him company seemed to be more than just a simple system.
Starting from the old apartment complex, he journeyed through the Myriad Worlds, exploring every corner of existence and nonexistence.
His goal was not to become stronger. It was to protect Huahua, protect the old apartment complex, and protect the osmanthus cakes Aunt Zhang kept pressing into his hands.
But by the time he reached the end, he discovered that some things had been waiting for him from the very beginning.
Dedicated to everyone who longs to go home.
