    [Eye roll][Shocked][Drooling] My name is Lu Jing, and I wear an eyepatch over my left eye because the golden pupil inside is too bright. I used to fantasize about a shattered reality overrun by monsters, but I'm just an ordinary person and can't awaken superpowers. Later, I grew up and felt pretty useless, so I wanted to start over at a new school. Unexpectedly, during the opening ceremony, the sky cracked open, and monsters ran out. I stepped forward, thinking that since I was going to die anyway, I might as well look cool. As a result, my fantasy actually came true, and I even picked up something that symbolized power, smiling and saying, "Everyone, the new world has arrived!" [OK][OK][OK]
