The Post-Apocalyptic Real Estate Tycoon

The full novel is complete, though I’m still making occasional revisions. Upcoming novels: *Ascend to Immortality, Then Return to Earth to Make Games* and *Eating by the Rules*. *Real Estate Tycoon* is a building game that adds new components every week to satisfy players’ wildest construction ideas. Chi Yu is a socially anxious recluse who hates interacting with people. To focus on gaming, he stocked up on several months’ worth of food and settled into the blissful life of playing games at home. Three months later, the community he had built to resemble the neighborhood nearby was finished, and he had run out of food. Chi Yu went downstairs to the supermarket to restock and found the neighborhood eerily quiet. The supermarket employees wore bright smiles that reminded him of the NPCs he’d created in his game. A few people covered in dust were crouched by the shelves, shouting excitedly. Chi Yu didn’t look too closely. He hurried through checkout and let out a sigh of relief before entering his home: That was close! I almost had to say hello to someone! Then he noticed the game had updated and unlocked the home-selling feature. He cheered happily: “Yay! Now I can sell houses to the little people and earn coins!” The apocalypse has arrived, and monsters roam everywhere. Like everywhere else, Happy Community was reduced to ruins. Three months later, survivors returned to the area to search for supplies, only to be stunned to find Happy Community standing intact. Not only that, the community was fully equipped, the supermarket was stocked with supplies, and the sales staff greeted them with friendly smiles. It was just like life before the apocalypse. The survivors didn’t want to leave. Just then, a property manager came over and asked with a smile, “Would you be interested in buying a home here? The first ten buyers get an exclusive discount!” District One Classified File: *The Dreamer* This is a special entity that is friendly toward humanity. No one has ever seen its true form. Despite exhaustive research, all we know is that it favors orderly architecture and sunny weather. Since District One exists within its dream, we call it the Dreamer. Remember: Keep your distance. Remain silent. Do not shatter its dream. Opens for paid chapters on the 9th. Theme: Humanity itself is its own god.
