Survival: I Awaken the Azure Lotus Earthheart Flame and Terrify Calamities

[Survival] [Spawn in a monster base] [Keep your head down until you can eat beef] [Disasters] [Shelters] [Build a home] [Cthulhu]

When Chen Ze wakes up, he finds himself dumped into a fog-shrouded Survival world, and his starting location is beside a graveyard.

Everyone is bound to a Survival Handbook and given a dilapidated shelter and a flickering flame. The handbook offers only cold warnings: Protect your flame. Beware the night. Beware the fog. Anyone who suffers a mental breakdown will turn into a raving monster.

While everyone else starts by gathering branches and searching for water, Chen Ze has barely opened his eyes when he hears chewing behind a gravestone. A rotting corpse crawls out of the earth, and something in the white fog is watching him.

Chen Ze looks at his talent.

[Kindling Talent: Fireseed. Your mind is stronger. Spirit +1. Increased resistance to fire. As long as even the slightest hope of life remains, your sanity will never fall to zero.]

He also gains two companion spirit objects: the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Green Lotus Platform.

While everyone else cowers in their shelters, hungry and cold, wondering how to survive each night, Chen Ze is in his shelter, enjoying the air conditioning, sipping liquor, and gnawing on a whole cow.

While everyone else is still trying to figure out how to awaken the supernatural, Chen Ze looks at his long list of supernatural paths. Is this stuff really that hard?

[Supernatural Paths: Beast Tamer, Corrupted One, High Priest of the Sacred Flame Cult, Spirit Stitcher, Harbinger of Annihilation, Flamebearer...]

Calamity descends, the world collapses, and humanity’s kindling turns black.

Chen Ze simply ignites a single green flame, and all the bizarre creatures and monsters are refined away in an instant.

The Mother Goddess, the calamities, the Great Ones: when they see that green flame,

they burst into tears of terror. Nothing has ever stirred any emotion in me, except that green flame.
