As a sickly child with plenty of personality flaws, Shao Shiyan was a spoiled young master who made trouble at every turn, but always had someone to clean up his messes.
Because of his health, Shao Shiyan couldn't go out often. One of his greatest pleasures was spending money on games.
But he hated having to think while gaming, so he preferred games that were simple, straightforward, and satisfying.
His only way of playing was to spend money like crazy. Lately, he was obsessed with a game set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world:
Dark Ruin: End Times [Dark Ruin: The End Times]
Its setting was a horrific apocalypse filled with calamities and monsters. Players had to spend money at every turn if they wanted to survive and clear the game.
Young Master Shao soon became its biggest spender, rampaging through the game with all kinds of golden fingers. Even the various bosses bowed to him.
If I could get transported into the game, wouldn't that be amazing? Shao Shiyan thought.
Then his words came true, and he really was transported there after an accident.
Only, when he arrived, his countless coins were gone, and so were his golden fingers.
All he had left was the appearance he'd spent a fortune creating, which closely resembled his real-life self: sickly, but beautiful.
And a few useless skills that couldn't withstand any kind of attack.
Forget having fun. Shao Shiyan nearly lost his mind. Wouldn't any random NPC be able to kill him?
Especially the terrifying bosses who had been forced to submit to him! The more domineering he'd been around them before, the more terrified he was now. He had to get as far away from them as possible!
But there was no way to hide from them.
The bosses' perspective:
One day, the beautiful human who had always been high and mighty, with power enough to destroy the world, suddenly disappeared.
The bosses who had grown accustomed to submitting to him began searching frantically.
Then one day, surrounded by a swarm of monsters, they found Shao Shiyan, shivering with fear and pale-faced.
Looking at the terrifying bosses who had appeared before him, Shao Shiyan thought, If I'm going to die anyway, I might as well go out with a bang.
So, trembling, he put on the same cold expression as before and ordered them in a condescending voice: "You all, get on your knees!"
Thump! The bosses, who had just killed countless monsters, all dropped to their knees.
Boss One: "Then, Master, please come home with me. I built a palace for you with my own hands. I'm sure you'll love it."
Boss Two: "Didn't you say that if I submitted to you, I would be your only slave?"
Boss Three: "Come with me, or I'll break your legs."
Shao Shiyan: "...Is it too late to quit the game?!"
