A miserable guy forced to raise kids
Not abandoned, just later in the schedule.
They say doctors can't treat themselves. Lin Ye says, "That's a load of bullshit!"
Sure, he lost his memory after hitting his head, and every day he has nightmares about monsters in a real-life game of survival...
But he's clearly a decent young man with a sound moral compass and a steady job (or at least he used to have one)!
They say doctors can't treat themselves. Lin Ye is starting to believe it.
Can someone tell him what that "ghost" wandering around in front of him every day is?
Never mind. He does know his mental state isn't great. Time to pet the cat, pet the cat...
Lin Ye: (lying flat)
Still Lin Ye: (sits bolt upright) What do you mean my fluffy little buddies are dungeon bosses?! They're so cute!
...What do you mean I've already died once?
The serious blurb:
Lin Ye, a former medical intern who mysteriously lost his memory, feels that something has been off lately. The nightmares that strike at the same time every day and the phantom figures that only he can see in real life are leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.
He's tried to understand himself and escape the nightmares, but nothing works.
To wake from these maddening dreams, he has no choice but to follow the inexplicable tasks.
Repair a lighthouse on a fog-shrouded island.
Brew a perfect potion in a forest full of magical creatures.
Flip an agent's table in a tribunal.
Plan the perfect wedding in a remote mountain village.
Wait, isn't something a little off here?
In any case, Lin Ye can really feel that something isn't right.
This all seems to be more than just a dream.
Strangers who seem inexplicably familiar with him, dungeon bosses who act like they're close to him, and even the phantom that's been haunting him in the real world gets pulled into his "dreams."
Want your memories of the past? Trade points for them.
That's what the phantom tells him.
A shop opened especially for Lin Ye puts a price on his memories. In pursuit of the so-called truth, he can only set off once again on the game's path of no return.
