The Disgrace of the Rankings: I Made the Gold List in the Wasteland

Happiness story publisher Chu Yu x administrator of the Sorrow Quarantine Zone Lei Shu

"Let all those miserable failures of the past disappear without a trace."

"Use the golden pen in your hand to write delightful stories, and stop the flood of time from devouring humanity's spiritual civilization."

"Giving up on the spirit is the same as surrendering."

"The real goal isn't resistance, and it isn't stopping what's happening. It's saving people."

Civilization had once been nearly swallowed whole. The world was desolate, chaotic, and lawless, filled with looting and madness. Every word you wrote became nourishment for the empty spirits that had been worn down for so long.

Lei Shu stood at the entrance to the prison in the Sorrow Quarantine Zone, his gaze detached and emotionless.

Chu Yu crouched in a distant corner, took off his coat, and wrote on the pale fabric of its sleeve: "You, the guardian of order whom I have always looked up to, are the only one who can hold up the sky as it begins to collapse. Hang on a little longer. Please, don't let yourself be assimilated."

Wearing the coat, Chu Yu deliberately raised his arm as he passed Lei Shu.

As their shoulders brushed, Chu Yu whispered, "If I can't save you, I'll follow you to your death without hesitation."

A flicker of emotion crossed Lei Shu's eyes.

He watched Chu Yu walk away, and it was as if he had come back to life.
