Hi, I'm Yi Jiu.
People who know me call me all sorts of things: Nineteen, Shijiu, Xiao Shi, Yiyi, Jiujui...
The last time I opened my eyes, I was on Blue Star, in a zombie apocalypse, the captain of the 96th scavenging team at Humanity's Beacon Base.
At 1:38 p.m. on May 25, Year 25 of the Apocalypse, someone pushed me out of a moving vehicle. I landed headfirst and died.
Well, I might have died after being eaten by zombies, since I passed out and don't know what happened afterward.
But before I died, I got my revenge. The bastard who set me up had already been torn apart by zombies before I passed out. I still don't know exactly how I died, but he definitely died by zombie bites. (Grin.)
But when I opened my eyes again, I saw a two-meter-tall praying mantis eating a person!
I was so scared I broke out in a cold sweat! I wanted to die all over again, right then and there!
What kind of cursed luck did I have? What dog shit did I step in? Could I not get a single moment of peace and comfort?
Just as I was risking my life and fighting two giant insect beasts for a fresh start, a huge black-and-gold tiger dropped from the sky and killed a whole swarm of them!
From then on, I settled into a retired life of hunting and raising a cat (a tiger), living the good life...
Wait a minute. What do you mean?
You're saying this is a virtual world?
You're saying this was developed as some kind of virtual-scene stimulation therapy to stimulate the brains of patients in a vegetative state with brain damage?
You're saying I'm a B-list actor who suffered brain damage after choking in my sleep from alcohol-induced vomiting?
You're saying I got drunk because I was thrilled to have successfully staged a collision and become the secret lover of the megastar Huo Heng?
You're saying that when I wake up, I'll have to face my vegetative fiancé and his two kids, and go on a variety show that was booked ages ago?
You're saying this variety show is a virtual survival scenario show based on that very treatment method?! ...
"Mr. Yi, wake up. Please, wake up..."
"I'm sorry. I'm Yi Jiu's attending physician. After experiencing an extreme shock, Mr. Yi Jiu has completely lost all vital signs."
(The End, just kidding.)
Theme: Everything we build up is for the sake of one beautiful moment.
