(The pacing has gone off track, and I need to reorganize the outline. I'm putting this on hold for a while.)
Jiang Yan, a freshman at medical school, nearly lost his life after watching an adventure livestream. From that day on, his life changed beyond recognition.
The cafeteria auntie with a strange gleam in her eyes.
The old man selling vegetables on Breakfast Street, who suddenly pulled a blade and lunged at him.
And the child at Old Man Wang's house next door, who was always peeking through the crack in the door and watching him like prey.
Suddenly, danger lurked everywhere. It seemed like everyone wanted to kill him.
Yet whenever they were about to succeed, they would stop at just the right moment.
In their place came bewildered expressions.
No one remembered how murderous they had looked.
From beginning to end, Jiang Yan was the mouse being toyed with by a cat.
It wasn't until the apocalypse arrived that Jiang Yan finally understood.
He was the disaster that would destroy the world.

Su Heng, one of the apocalypse's top fighters, had considered that humanity might fail to resist the invasion of the otherworldly species. He had even considered an insectoid assault.
But he had never imagined that humanity would be destroyed by its own people.
That day, the base's strongest superhumans were wiped out. Those who had not awakened powers became food for the zombie-like otherworldly species.
And the culprit behind it all was the person he trusted most: Jiang Yan.
As he lay dying, Su Heng could only regret that he couldn't kill Jiang Yan with his own hands. If he could start over, he...
Unexpectedly, the next second Su Heng was back two months before the apocalypse. As long as he killed Jiang Yan, there was still a chance to change everything.
But Su Heng had ultimately underestimated Jiang Yan's incredible luck, and gradually lost sight of his own feelings.
Why did seeing his past self grow closer and closer to Jiang Yan hurt worse than having his heart cut out?
Later, he understood. He was filled with hatred: hatred for himself, and hatred for the bright moon that once shone only on him.
