Reunited in the Infinite Worlds

A story in the Dream series. Faux infinite-loop format, short story.

-

Xie Chen'an is swept into a virtual world.

The world's consciousness tells him he must pass through every illusion to return to reality. Once he gets used to his surroundings, he realizes he isn't the only one who was dragged in.

Then the world's consciousness says, “The game begins! All players should work together!”

/

Zhong Jing is the first to enter the game. As a reward, the world's consciousness secretly tells him, “Players can kill one another. Doing so may give you an extra chance to survive.”

Zhong Jing immediately sets his sights on the young man who entered last.

When it's time to introduce themselves, he makes a point of listening to the young man's name: Xie Chen'an.

Xie Chen'an: If you ask me, I regret it. If I'd known, I wouldn't have saved him (:
