Surviving on a Deserted Island from the Start

[I'm truly sorry, but I can't get back to the state I was in when I first started. I've revised and cut it for a long time, but it still feels wrong, and I've let down the readers who added this story to their favorites. I'm so sorry. From now on, updates will be occasional.]

College student Fu Ze wakes up one day to find the world has changed. He's been pulled into a game called Death Carnival, where death can strike at any moment:

[Welcome to the Doomsday Island! Congratulations, you've won a death bundle!]

[You start with an island. If you run into monsters, don't run. If you survive, you won't die. If you die, you won't come back to life. Here, you'll meet your end.]

As Fu Ze gathers materials and fights monsters to level up, working himself to the bone, he can still see the snake beside him, lying there with its mouth open and eating for free as it watches the show. Its eyes are full of contempt, as if to say: How did I end up with such a loser?

Meanwhile, the System, which has been cowering in the main world and gets tossed right back out as soon as it enters that region, is trembling. It can't understand why the lofty Supreme God in its heart is willingly acting like a useless snake by this human's side.

Xie Feiyi flicks out his forked tongue, his deep green eyes fixed on that detestable human. Amusement and carefully concealed hatred flash in his eyes.

Fu Ze can't stand seeing the snake laze around, so he slaps it on the head. "Get over here! You slack off every day and eat so much. I even have to pick up the crystals you eat. Use your own tail!"

Xie Feiyi: ...

He angrily flicks out his forked tongue and glares at Fu Ze's retreating back as he heads inside without him. His eyes shift, and he lets out a cold laugh.

Summary: Top, thick-skinned and of unknown identity × bottom, vengeful little snake with a love-struck brain. The little text in the title is in quotation marks.

Pay attention to the POV! Fu Ze is the top, and this is a top-led story.

Early story: a major island survival adventure (game-like elements), fighting monsters, leveling up, and farming. Slow burn.
