Sang Yuan had always wanted a puppy.
One that belonged to her alone, loved her, was loyal to her, protected her, wagged its tail just for her, and saw her as its whole world.
Fortunately, on the first day of the apocalypse, Sang Yuan found a blue merle sheepdog with yin-yang eyes.
It fulfilled all her fantasies about having a puppy.
Unfortunately, that very night, her puppy split in two right in front of her, turning into two...
Two men?????

The apocalypse has arrived, and danger lurks everywhere. Strange tentacles spread through every corner of the world.
To survive, humans have evolved all kinds of supernatural abilities.
Telekinesis, mind control, genetic modification...
In short, each power is more badass than the last.
And Sang Yuan's ability is...
To conjure two dog men who have nothing going for them but their looks.
Dog Man A: Gentle and considerate, sweet and obedient, with eyes for no one but Sang Yuan.
(But it's all an act. He's maximum levels of fake and manipulative. At the first sign of danger, he runs, and he'll throw Sang Yuan into a boss's mouth just to give himself a chance to escape.)
Dog Man B: Powerful and sturdy, with a body like an impenetrable fortress that can defeat 99.9% of monsters and people with supernatural abilities.
(But his mental state is unstable. He could go berserk at any moment, unable to tell friend from foe, and has repeatedly attacked Sang Yuan in a fit of madness.)
Sang Yuan: ...Heh.
If dog men can't be relied on, I'll rely on myself! I can survive the apocalypse!

The apocalypse gave rise to a unique sight on the planet:
The Sea of Sandbars.
A sea of sand shrouded in fog all day long, with golden-blue sandstorms filling the sky. Strange tentacles can just barely be seen waving in the [waves], while the howling wind carries whispers that cannot be [touched].
No one has ever made it out of the Sea of Sandbars alive, not even the most powerful ability users.
As the apocalypse drags on, the Sea of Sandbars continues to expand, swallowing one city after another in its boundless sands.
The survivors can only huddle inside fortresses, constantly fleeing and clinging to life.
Until one day, the dense fog at the edge of the sand sea lifted, and a frail young woman emerged from it. Her eyes were bright and guileless. "Excuse me, have you seen my puppy? We got separated by accident."

It's probably a thrilling story about fighting monsters, leveling up, and climbing ever higher, with a touch of cosmic horror.
Theme: Asking others is not as good as relying on yourself. Believe in your potential, and learn to love yourself.
