Yu Jin quit his job in the big city and holed up in a remote mountain forest, booking a small guesthouse for two months to heal his body and mind after work had worn him down.
He spent his days hiking, drinking tea, reading, doing crafts, gaming, and painting. Life was peaceful and pleasant.
Then the apocalypse arrived. Feverish and delirious, he missed the evacuation, and he was the only living person left on the entire mountain.
The good news: After five days of fever, he was still alive, and had even awakened an ability.
The bad news: There was no internet, electricity, or communication. He was cut off from the world, and evolved mutant beasts lurked outside. Even with an ability, he had no idea what the world beyond looked like.
Should he leave or stay?
Yu Jin looked at the thick book in his hands, A Comprehensive Guide to Crafts and Technology from Ancient Times to the Present, and fell into deep thought.
His abilities covered metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and all of them came in handy. No food? He could roast his own. No water? He could summon it. No paper? He could make it. No power? He could generate it. Pencils, ceramics, fishing rods, cotton cloth, steel knives, crossbows, spears, short swords...
Craft lovers, rejoice!
But one day, several people carrying assault rifles burst in, fighting and searching everywhere. Yu Jin found them annoying, drove them away, and rescued the person they had been chasing.
After washing off the blood, the battered man revealed a handsome face. Beneath his soaked camouflage uniform was a lean, powerful build, his muscles brimming with explosive strength.
Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, perfect proportions, and a bulge in his pants.
Yu Jin, a little gay man, practically drooled at the sight.
In excruciating pain, Huo Mingchuan slowly opened his eyes. A young man in a plain white T-shirt sat on a giant mushroom, gazing coldly at him. His phoenix eyes drooped slightly, his expression unreadable.
[Wow, he's even more handsome with his eyes open!]
[Those abs even have veins, hehe. With a waist like that, he must be great in bed.]
Huo Mingchuan, who had both mental and metal abilities, looked around and confirmed there was no one else. With a subtle expression, he tugged down his shirt and looked up at the man on the mushroom.
Yu Jin's expression was haughty and composed, his whole bearing cool and immaculate.
[Why are you glaring at me? You look so scary. Ah, my hands are itching to draw.]
[Is he really that big? Is it blood or flesh? I hope he's not just for looking at.]
[He must have great stamina, though. I bet I could just sit on him without moving and he'd keep thrusting like crazy.]
[It'd be even hotter to do it in uniform while slapping him, woohoo!]
Sitting on the mushroom, Yu Jin lowered his right hand and swiftly sketched smooth, flowing lines on the paper with practiced ease. His expression was serious and focused, his gaze unwavering, as if he were recording something important.
[Hehe, let me draw a huge dick!]
Huo Mingchuan: "..."
The book A Comprehensive Guide to Crafts and Technology from Ancient Times to the Present does not exist! The author made it up.
The golden finger is pretty overpowered, and the protagonist can do almost anything.
This is mainly a romance, not a satisfying infrastructure-building story.
Theme: Never give up, even in adversity.
