(Also known as "When Countless Mes Appear in the World") Survival is not the end
Survival is never the answer. There are no plug-ins, no system guidance, and no one is born to live. Leng Chen woke up from the river with no memory, no identity, and couldn't even confirm whether he was his "original self." And the world has already given the answer in advance - there is more than one him here.
A strange villa, a lamp, countless "selves". Past, present, and possibly dead versions are placed in the same space at the same time. The rules are as simple as cruel: only one person can stay in the lamp. You can kill, you can lie, you can wait, but you can't escape. Some people choose to make rational calculations, some collapse and lose control, and some firmly believe that as long as they are strong enough, they can become the only ones. But when a calmer, more perfect, and more "fit to survive" you stands in front of you, can you still say without hesitation - am I the one who should stay?
Just when they thought the screening was over, the real world had just begun. The main light space is turned on, and they are thrown into different worlds to perform tasks. The task seems simple: put something somewhere. A piece of paper, a bullet, a stone, even just a tiny deviation. But every placement will shake up the structure of the world, and every success is an interface for the system to extend to a higher level. They are not heroes or invaders, but nodes embedded in the rules.
Ability begins to awaken, but it is far from enough. The rules are gradually tightening and the options are becoming less and less available. The system always recognizes only one answer - the only one. Until Leng Chen refused for the first time. He no longer answers questions
