Ju Chengli was recommended a single-player full-dive romance game that was still in closed beta.
In the game's setting, the player was a little ray of sunshine who'd been beaten down by life but still loved it. Their task was to become friends with the romance targets, becoming their most important confidant.
A confidant was someone who was "a spiritual pillar," "an incomparable salvation," and "the last place of refuge."
Ju Chengli rubbed his hands together and quickly planned several unforgettable confidant scenarios for himself.
[Scenario One: Spiritual Pillar]
Suguru Geto was the only person in the whole world who still remembered Ju Chengli.
The friend who had sacrificed himself to turn back time and give him another chance was gradually losing his breath.
Family, friendship, the greater good...
Time had returned to the night before they entered Tokyo Jujutsu High. Everyone except Ju Chengli was back at the starting point. Nothing had happened, and everything could still be changed.
Except Ju Chengli had vanished completely.
This time, it was Suguru Geto who relived everything over and over again.
What's the point of a world without you? Just call me crazy.
[Scenario Two: Incomparable Salvation]
Bourbon realized that the world seemed to be caught in a time loop.
In order to save his doomed friend, Ju Chengli, who always smiled as if nothing could bother him, turned back time again and again, trying to save his friends. But each time, he was met with failure.
When they met again, Ju Chengli would still smile and throw himself into their arms, showing no sign of having just gone through a life-and-death parting. He was still that dazzling little ray of sunshine.
Until the very last time, Ju Chengli finally succeeded, but the price was his own death.
The corpse that had lost its warmth in the rainy night still wore a smile of fulfillment. And at that moment, their memories returned.
This time, it's our turn to save you.
[Scenario Three: A Coward's Habit]
What Dazai Osamu hated most was people like Ju Chengli, who couldn't read the room and kept coming around every day.
A nuisance, annoying, shameless.
He was part of the mafia, yet acted as if he loved life.
So Dazai became his "friend," leaving him outside and taking him along on suicide attempts, just to make him take the hint and stay away.
But even after Ju Chengli was put through the wringer, looking utterly bedraggled, he still smiled up at Dazai and treated him well. Eventually, Dazai grew used to having him by his side, always seeing that familiar figure whenever he turned around, and knowing that no matter how selfish he was, Ju Chengli would accept him
Ju Chengli left.
He said, "Dazai Osamu, I'm tired. Let me go."
[Scenario Four: The Last Salvation]
After becoming a demon, Michikatsu Tsugikuni would sometimes remember the playmate he had as a child.
Ju Chengli had always chosen him, unwaveringly, over everyone else. He was pathetically weak, yet still trembled as he stood in front of Michikatsu to block every danger.
He was even willing to die for him.
To surpass his younger brother, Michikatsu had killed his only weakness with his own hands. But before dying, that person had no complaints. He only asked him
[Is this enough?]
Is this enough?
Was he a weakness... or his only salvation?
Ju Chengli completed the romance routes and happily left the game.
A few months later, the game officially launched, and players from the closed beta were given transfer codes.
When Ju Chengli returned to the game, he discovered that his confidant routes, which he'd completed to 100%, had somehow turned into romance routes???
And his confidants, whose closed-beta records should have been deleted, finally smiled.
This time, we won't let you get away.
