Yu Huai's life had reached its end. Wanting to die without pain, he chose euthanasia. But just before he died, he was pulled into a contest between life and death. As Yu Huai arrived, secrets that had been buried for years gradually began to come to light...
More than death, Yu Huai fears pain. Pain can drive people mad, just as it has him.
When Yu Huai first enters the game, his unfamiliar surroundings seem to leave him feeling detached from everything.
But gradually, it seems something deep inside him is slowly awakening...
Yu Huai: "Now that you're no longer useful, there's no need for you to stay alive."
The first time Wu Qihan saw Jiang Yan speak, he thought Yu Huai was a ruthless man, someone who would make an excellent blade.
As it turned out, Yu Huai really was ruthless.
Wu Qihan: "Yu Huai, either I kill you or you become my partner. Which will you choose?"
Yu Huai: "I'll choose to kill you first, then look for the answer."
Only later did Wu Qihan learn that Yu Huai was entering the game for the second time, and that the price of leaving had been the exchange of his emotions.
Wu Qihan: "Do you want to get back what belongs to you?"
Yu Huai: "I do."
Wu Qihan: "Then could you try liking me?"
Yu Huai: "...You want me to like you?"
Wu Qihan: "I do."
Yu Huai: "All right."
Yu Huai looked up. He knew this was the final instance, where the story of life and death would come to an end.
"Human eyes are excellent at storing color."
"Gems or crystals, color or gray and white, represent something. It may be good or evil, sealed away forever."
"Do you know what's sealed inside? Your life, your memories, your emotions, everything that is you. Yu Huai, break it and take back your emotional memories."
"Then fall in love with me again."
This world is simply like this, both righteous and wicked. You and I are pests in this game. Who can claim to be nobler than the other?
At the instant the game shattered, Yu Huai heard Wu Qihan say,
"Yu Huai, don't forget me, I beg you."
"Wait for me to find you. You mustn't forget me."
Yu Huai, who has no emotional memories at first, as the bottom; Wu Qihan, an avatar of the morally ambiguous System Core, as the top
