Chapter 1 Crossing
2035, Jiangcheng, late at night.
Yu Yao sat in front of the computer, listening to the thunder and rain outside.
Quietly, he used the mouse to control the character on the computer, traversing every corner of the map, his expression calm yet forlorn.
She is a disabled person who lost both legs at the age of 22 while saving someone, and has never had the right to leave home to go out and see the world again.
For the past four years, her only companions have been games and books.
She is currently logging into an online game called "Defy Fate".
This online game caused a sensation and became extremely popular when it was first launched due to its unique settings, complex combos, and exceptionally beautiful graphics.
However, no matter how exquisite the graphics and special settings are, they cannot withstand the overly complex skill combos and operation methods.
Because the barrier to entry was too high, this game went viral just as quickly as it faded away.
Yu Yao is one of the few veteran players who has persisted for more than three years.
好不容易成了全服第一，却被告知《逆命》因为亏损严重，公司决定于2035年9月25日凌晨00：00关服。
而现在的时间，是2035年9月24日，23：59。
In one minute, this game that has been with Yu Yao for more than three years will say goodbye to her for good.
Yu Yao sighed and sent a goodbye message in the world chat channel, which had been silent for a long time.
Goodbye, old friend.
Even though you've left, my path will continue to move forward.
Before she could even finish sighing in her heart, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, instantly illuminating the sky and the earth.
Yu Yao's eyes, which she hadn't had time to close, were also suddenly illuminated by a bright white light.
A deafening roar followed, and the earth trembled for a moment.
The house where Yu Yao was located also collapsed in the lightning, turning into ruins.
Two dazzling lights intertwined and shot into the inky night sky at the same time.
If someone were to glance at the time at this moment, they would find that the clock has slowly jumped to 00:00.
......
When Yu Yao regained consciousness, she was momentarily dazed.
Because she could no longer feel her incredibly heavy body, nor the pain that tormented her every moment.
This feeling of ease made her feel as if her soul had taken flight.
No, isn't she flying?
Moreover, it was a soul without a physical form flying around!
Is this... out-of-body experience?
Before she could figure out what was going on, Yu Yao felt a sharp pain in her head.
Wait a minute, she's just a soul, where would she get a head?
She looked around in confusion, observing with her non-existent "eyes," and discovered that in the pitch-black space, only she and another ball of light were shining.
She felt a headache because another ball of light was trying to devour her!
A flash of malice crossed Yu Yao's mind.
She was an orphan who struggled to grow up, and the hardships and struggles she endured are hard for others to understand.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone has wanted to step on her, but she just happens to be covered in thorns.
If you dare to bully her, she will retaliate many times over. If you try to take advantage of her, then you'll be skinned alive.
With this ruthlessness and courage, she started her own business before graduating from university, relying on her years of experience working and her ability to seize opportunities, earning millions a year.
Perhaps even the heavens couldn't stand her coldness and cruelty, so even the heavens had to bully her.
At 22, she had just graduated from university and went on a trip to the southern province when she encountered a kidnapping case.
The kidnapped girl was staying at the same guesthouse as her. The day before, she had sweetly called her "sister" and given her a piece of candy.
She was naturally suspicious and would never eat anything given to her by strangers, but she remembered the girl's smile.
She was the only witness when the girl was kidnapped.
She rushed out and slowed down the kidnappers, allowing the police to arrive.
However, she also suffered a broken spine and internal injuries, leaving her unable to stand up again and suffering from pain every day.
The kidnapped girl's parents gave her a large sum of compensation as a token of their gratitude.
They also covered all her medical expenses and subsequent support costs, and hired a professional caregiver to look after her.
Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she lost her health, and her world was completely shrunk to that magnificent house.
But she did not accept her fate.
Writing, voice acting, stock trading.
Although she became disabled, her wealth was no less than that of some ordinary rich people.
Even without subsequent alimony, she can support herself very well on her own.
In these tense and gloomy days, games are her only way to relax.
But who could have imagined that she would be struck by lightning because of a game, and not only would she be reduced to a soul, but she would also be swallowed by other orbs of light?
Amidst a surge of malevolence, she somehow mustered the strength to suddenly "open her mouth" and swallow the ball of light that was trying to devour her whole.
Sensing the other person's struggle, she desperately suppressed it, using all her strength to gradually integrate it into herself.
As they struggled, she could feel her "energy" rapidly dissipating, but she was certain that her opponent wasn't doing well either!
that's enough!
It was with this fighting spirit that she finally devoured her opponent completely before her consciousness dissipated, becoming even more dazzling and illuminating the dark space, which was as dark as if it were daytime.
