Irreverent version:
When I opened my eyes in the middle of the darkness, someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and hugged me hard. In a voice choked with tears, he whispered in my ear that he was my lover from a past life, a devout believer who had followed me to the ends of the world.
He had a beautiful face, and gentle ripples like clear spring water swam in his dark eyes. His voice flowed slowly down as if from the strings of a harp.
I was moved, but there was one little problem.
I had only just entered this world, and the System had only created this body for me a few minutes ago... So where were these past lives and present lives coming from? Had he fallen in love with my cells or something?
That would have been bad enough, but the System helpfully informed me that the other guy had only told half a lie.
Now things were getting a little serious, because if this wasn't about [past lives], then the only other possibility was... [a reset]?
And in the middle of all this, there were still people spamming my screen with comments like [Free win from the start, go for it!]
Are you guys serious? I don't even know if this guy is carbon-based life!
Serious version:
In the year 3031 of the New Calendar, the World Online game officially went on sale. Unlike every other game, it had not been created for human entertainment, but for... [survival].
This game held far too many secrets, but one thing was clear: in an age when everything else was inferior, only truly godlike players stood above all.
Are you willing to shoulder the glory of humanity and defy a fate destined to end in annihilation?
Are you willing to face the brink of death again and again, just to protect a single candle flame amid the snow and wind?
Are you willing to become the next legend?
Of course, that was all a future to dream about later. For Lin Shuying, the most important thing right now was figuring out how to escape the hunt in the game with her newbie account.
A heavy weapon, the symbol of absolute firepower, was aimed straight at her from afar. The guy who had been passionately confessing his love to her just a second ago was now speaking softly, asking her to make a deal, while the System flashed a huge red warning in bold.
Under the crushing pressure of a screen full of comments reading [First time I've seen a streamer get such a hellish start. Is this the limit of being born unlucky? I'm in love!], Lin Shuying declared: This is not okay!!
*Third-person narration. Comments, group transmigration, players as the fourth disaster, character growth, serious tone, power fantasy. The female lead is beautiful, strong, and goofy.
*Includes supernatural powers, mainly cyberpunk, with some Lovecraftian elements.
*The male lead is described in the blurb. He isn't carbon-based life (in every sense, including his thought process). Whether they love each other is uncertain, but they'll definitely clash. One-sided love is involved.
Theme: The future should be in our own hands.
