Divine Gambler

On October 17, 2029, the world began to collapse after an eclipse that came without warning.

Humans randomly mutated into zombies, and civilization fell completely within three days.

Lin Yue, an ordinary college student, discovered he had a unique ability amid the apocalyptic disaster: he could copy other people’s powers. Strength enhancement, bursts of speed, danger sense… As long as he touched someone who had awakened, he could make their ability his own.

With his high intelligence and judgment so calm it bordered on cold-blooded, Lin Yue built humanity’s last refuge amid the ruins. But every choice he made was a knife’s edge, and every sacrifice carved a new wound into his heart.

His childhood sweetheart said, “You did the right thing. Don’t let my death be in vain.”

His comrade in arms said, “This time, let me choose.”

As his hair turned white, inch by inch, from overusing his ability, a sealed truth began to surface:

He hadn’t gained an ability.

He had remembered.

This zombie apocalypse, this civilization-ending calamity, had been a gamble from beginning to end. And the one who had set it up was none other than Lin Yue himself, or rather, another “him.”

One wanted to protect humanity.

One wanted to reset the world.

The wills of two gods, tearing apart a single soul. The stakes were all of human civilization, and the rule was that Lin Yue had to forget everything and fight as an ordinary mortal. If humanity was wiped out, the world would restart. If humanity survived, he could win.

But this gamble had already been repeated countless times.

Every time, humanity lost to its own infighting.

Every time, Lin Yue failed to protect the people he wanted to save.
