This Game Costs You Years of Your Life

You can’t spend money in this game. But I found a hidden item: activate it, spit up blood, and you can roll back time to farm cash. Every rollback nets me five thousand yuan. While everyone else works themselves to the bone farming gold, I lie back and exploit a bug. Out of money? Roll back. Not enough food? Roll back. Outplayed by an opponent? Roll back. Then one day, I spat blood and passed out. When I woke up, both the game and reality had returned to, 24 hours earlier. That’s when I realized I might not be playing a game. Every rollback costs me a piece of my life. But so what? The girl in the game calls me an idiot and shields me from the wind; that other girl in the game calls me little brother and takes a sword for me. In the real world, I can’t even afford rent. Better to burn bright than scrape by. Until one day, I opened my eyes and they were standing beside my bed, having crossed the barrier. What am I supposed to do?
