Players and Protagonists Are Made for Each Other

Adorable little mouse x sunny, manly man

The Path of Severance is a high-freedom cultivation game that has taken the world by storm.

Shen Yu is one of its many fans.

She isn’t interested in virtual worlds like this. Every day, she grinds away like she’s serving a prison sentence, gathering materials and leveling up. It’s exhausting. The only thing that gives her a little energy is the character model she created herself.

Maybe she’s played too much, because sometimes she talks to the character on the screen, sharing her innermost thoughts.

No matter what she says, he only ever gives her a cheerful smile and repeats the same idle animations.

Shen Yu finds herself thinking that it would be wonderful if she really had a friend like him.

Perhaps the wish was sincere enough. The next day, she transmigrated into the game world and met the familiar stranger she knew best.

The boy she had personally created, whose face she knew so well, pulled her to her feet, smiling with the same familiar cheer.

“You’re awake!”

His dark eyes brimmed with the familiar, warm smile, like the sun on the coldest winter day.

Shen Yu thought her wish seemed to have come true.

He had lived a carefree, smooth life in a village where he and his master had lived in seclusion since he was little.

He thought life would remain boring forever, until someone took control of him when he was seventeen.

That was a female cultivator who cursed her classmates to eat without chopsticks.

At first, he prayed for her, hoping she would stay well hidden and never be caught by him.

Later, he prayed to the heavens.

He didn’t want revenge anymore. He wanted to see her.

I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her

I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her, I want to see her

Until the day she fell from the sky and landed in this field, looking at him in confusion and surprise.

“You’re awake!” he greeted her with his usual warmth, friendly and harmless.

But his pupils instantly contracted and then dilated as he stared fixedly at her face, desperately suppressing his excitement and the pounding of his heart, loud in his ears.

He thought his wish had finally come true.
