After working overtime for three consecutive days and nights, I woke up on the verge of sudden death and could actually see the "Death Countdown" above everyone's head!
A message saying "Electrocuted in 10 minutes" was floating above the head of the colleague sitting next to me. I watched helplessly as he fell on the workstation - the exact way he died.
A mysterious ferryman comes to your door: "If you refuse the contract, you only have 7 days left to live; if you save the countdown target, your life will be extended."
From then on, I was forced to become a temporary god of death in the dark side of the city, jumping repeatedly on the edge of life and death: rescuing students who jumped from buildings, avoiding gas explosions, and fighting against the reapers who accelerate death...
But the more they save, the more they discover that all the strange deaths point to the non-existent Seventh People's Hospital.
Until one day, I looked up and saw the countdown above my head - the only way to survive was to destroy the underground hospital that hid a shocking secret!
"Before the countdown reaches zero, I not only want to extend my life, but I also want to overturn this damn death rule!"

It feels like being on the scene, well written, and I love reading it.
