Jiang Shiye stared at the calendar, utterly serious.
She was counting the days one by one, tallying how much longer she could cling to life.
365, 366, 367.
That was right: she had only that many days left to live.
Her plan to travel the world was still sitting in her phone’s bookmarks.
Her account held a cold, hefty balance.
With so little time left, she had so much money and no idea what to do with it.
She was young and successful, but running out of time! What kind of cruel joke was this?!
Aaaah, extra years… extra years… extra years… extra years!
Can someone give me a 30-second ad revive token?!
I really want to live!!!!

It all began one day when she was spacing out in a park and some old man picking his toes announced that she wouldn’t live past twenty-five.
Jiang Shiye hadn’t reacted much at the time.
With her earbuds in, she watched the old man gesticulating and assumed he’d lost his shoe.
She began falling into the same strange dream over and over.
There were always blurry black figures in it, screaming at her without end, repeatedly howling that her time was almost up.
At first she dismissed them as nightmares, but gradually, strange things began happening in real life.
She wasn’t in pain, but her appetite dwindled by the day. Her body still felt strong, yet she had no desire to eat. She often woke with a start in the middle of the night, her chest tight. These signs kept confirming what the old man had said, and she couldn’t help but grow afraid.
They say that when people have little hope left, they start believing in all kinds of gods and spirits.
Jiang Shiye dabbled in the occult herself and was a believer, so she prayed to every god she could think of, burned incense for longevity everywhere she went, and did good deeds.
…
【Ding-dong!】
【We’ve detected your desperate desire to survive. Here’s a special gift that can help make your dream of extending your life come true!】
One day, as Jiang Shiye passed an old hotel that had been locked up for years, a panel suddenly flew out of thin air, loading her into the hidden world of A Hundred Ghosts’ Night Parade.
【Dear reserve player, I am your System butler, 1003】
【The current setting is unusual. Opening a passage and building the world scenario for you】
【Welcome to the hidden world】
【There are two possible achievements】
【Completing either one will earn you a corresponding life-span point reward】
【Your time to clear the instance is now counting down. The hidden-world time is 13:00. Countdown begins】
That night, she escaped from an instance full of danger and collapsed over a toilet, retching violently. As promised, she received a gift package from the unknown.
When the clock passed midnight, she was twenty-six.
And from that day on, she never had another strange dream.
