Blurb:
Good news: I soloed a level 100 dungeon late at night and got a rare drop!
Bad news: I got so excited my heart stopped, and I just keeled over...
Good news: I transmigrated and was reborn!
Bad news: I was reborn in an apocalypse survival dungeon...
Good news: I was reborn with my game account!
Bad news: The account was reset to zero. A max-level veteran is back in the beginner village, with only a healing skill set, and can't even kill a level zero zombie dog passing by...
Even though Xie Xingyao was always saying, "Working is worse than killing myself. The world can blow up tomorrow," when death was really staring him in the face, he protested: I... I can still be saved!
With the apocalypse upon them and everyone looking out for themselves, healers must be in high demand, right? Why not find someone powerful to cling to?
And so Xie Xingyao began his "hunt for a strong teammate."
His first teammate had tons of health and great defense, perfect tank material, but was always showing off his muscles in front of people.
His second teammate dealt explosive damage and held the top DPS spot, but there was something strange and hard to describe in the way he looked at people.
His third teammate... was breathtakingly beautiful! Just far too frail.
But the face-loving Xie Xingyao wavered in an instant. Sure, he was a little weak, but that face was irresistible. Hngh... Never mind, one more passenger on the team won't hurt. I'll just pick up a pretty ornament to keep around and admire!
Xie Xingyao always thought he'd picked up a beautiful little weakling who needed careful tending.
Until one day, with a tide of corpses closing in and everyone in despair, the "ornament" in his eyes slowly emerged from a mountain of corpses, murderous aura surging around him. Everything in his path was utterly destroyed.
Xie Xingyao: ??? Wait... what happened to the sickly beauty we agreed on?!
[Bonus scene]
Standing in front of a mountain of vegetables, fruit, and grain, Xie Xingyao planted his hands on his hips and lifted his chin like a peacock showing off its plumage. "Look, this is the kingdom I conquered with my own hands! Just agree to be my wife, and it's all yours!"
The beauty smiled demurely. "All right."
Xie Xingyao got his wish and brought the beauty home, feeling triumphant.
Until night fell and he was pinned to the bed, struggling with tearful eyes. "Wait... isn't something wrong here...?"
"What's wrong?"
The beauty gently stroked his slender waist and breathed softly in his ear:
"Honey... don't stop..."
Theme: As long as hope remains, the future will surely be bright.
