Eerie Highway: A Man and His Dog, Their Gear All Comes from Stat Points

[Unconventional Nationwide Road Survival + Stat-Point Progression + Horror]

An unknown dark tide suddenly engulfs Blue Star. One bustling city after another is swallowed without mercy, vanishing from the world. To escape the disaster, Lin An retreats to the countryside with Heizi, the five-year-old black dog he adopted, but even there, he cannot escape the dark tide's grasp. When he opens his eyes again, Lin An discovers that he and thousands upon thousands of people have been swept into a horror world called the "Strange Road." In this world, the cities of the world that were swallowed have become lifeless ruins along the roadside. Only the road beneath their feet, leading to an unknown destination, can conceal the living's presence and keep them from being slaughtered by the strange creatures.

However, not a blade of grass grows on the road, and there is no food or clean water. To survive, the survivors have no choice but to leave the road and risk entering the ruined cities along the roadside to scavenge for supplies, always at risk of being torn apart by the strange creatures. What's more, the creatures sometimes roam onto the road to hunt. Only by constantly moving forward and traveling far enough can they completely block the creatures' ability to sense them. Faced with a group of starving people who want to eat Heizi, Lin An decisively draws his rusty hatchet to protect him. At that moment, the Everything Can Be Upgraded with Stat Points System descends?

The hatchet is too lousy? Add points!

Heizi isn't strong enough? Add points!

I'm too useless? Add points! Anything and everything can get stat points!

Detected a Malicious-level strange creature. Upgrading with stat points requires 100,000. I add... Holy crap, I can't beat it. I'm out of here!
