Chapter 101: Right in the middle of the eyebrows

On April 29, 2044, a rain of meteorites swept in, and our homeland was devastated in this apocalyptic catastrophe.

The first thing survivors face is the grief of losing their family and friends, and then the question of survival.

Many people can't accept the cruelty of reality and choose to give up their lives.

At this time, CLORIS-NA came to the whole world like a savior, it is an extremely magical technological smart watch, as long as you wear it, you can move your mind after moving, you can fall asleep in the real world, and completely enter the game world. The most amazing thing is that it can supplement the necessary nutrients for the human body every day and solve the most basic survival problems.

While people with their watches are free to wake up with their minds, most people choose to escape reality, they don't want to wake up, they like to live in the game world, and even create the technological headquarters of CLORIS-NA, which they call God's Domain.

They felt that the master of the Divine Domain was their main god.

However, after a few months, they began to complain about the disadvantages of CLORIS-NA, because the game world did not fully help them escape the pain.

The source of that pain is memory.

As a result, a large number of gamers collectively demanded that God's Cloud erase their own memories.

God's Domain said that it was impossible to operate one by one, and that if they wanted to meet their demands, they would have to erase all the memories of all gamers.

It is at this time that the contradiction begins.

There is a small group of people who do not like the game world so much, they regard CLORIS-NA as a game console, just for their own entertainment, and do not regard it as the whole of their future life. Even if the real world is in shambles, this small group of people does not want to give up hope of rebuilding their homes.

I am one of those small groups.

But after all, this is a world where the minority has to obey the majority, and the protests and struggles of people like us are like a drop in the bucket......

So, we took off our watches and chose to face this torn world completely. This means that we can't get nutrients from CLORIS-NA, so we have to look around for food to fill our stomachs.

Overcoming thorns, swords and shoes.

Although it is difficult to survive, there is still hope in our hearts. After all, when the food is gone, there are always seeds that are left behind.

Anyone has the right to choose their own way of life.

The Divine Domain has never forced us people, but has always given some help within its capacity...... Until the death of the first Lord God, everything changed.

The second main god is named Zong Yu.

On June 16, 2046, when the sun had completely set, all the people wearing their watches sat up straight at the same time, their eyes wide open, and it was clear that their souls had not yet left the game world. But their bodies, instead of looking around for weapons, hunted down those of us who were awake.

We call them sleepwalkers.

Later we found out that unless we fell asleep before the sun went down, those sleepwalkers would always find our hiding place.

It's hard to survive, and you have to sleep at night, and insomnia is almost the same as death...... Therefore, some of us have voluntarily put on CLORIS-NA.

Sober people, fewer and fewer.

It's getting harder and harder to survive.

But I always feel that as long as there is a breath, there is a solution to any difficulty.

Always avoiding those sleepwalkers, when will it be the end?

Since sleepwalkers always force me to fall asleep.

I'm going to wake them all up!

After a long struggle with the Divine Domain, I finally found out that I wanted to destroy CLORIS-NA. The first step is to complete the game.

So I put on my watch despite the objections of my friends.

I know that the reality is harsh, and many people have chosen to avoid facing the difficulties of the moment long before the end of the world comes.

In fact, in that era, I also had a decadent period of time, drunk and dreaming with my girlfriend all day long, and living in a drowsy state.

Her family was extremely wealthy, and we didn't have to do anything every day, and the most worrying thing was what to eat the next day.

Ordering takeout, playing games, watching movies, lazy in bed, idle, and wasting time.

But every day, I don't stop thinking.

Every night, I engage in a long period of reflection.

My body is as decadent as all those who have given up on themselves.

But my heart beats in fear every day and every night.

Because I know the time of the end of the world.

Tick tock.

Puff puff puff ......

It's closer, it's getting closer...... But no one believed it, I tried it when I was a child, and I thought that everyone just didn't believe what children said.

But when I grew up, I realized that people didn't believe anything they didn't want to believe.

For example, they themselves are really wrong.

Gradually, I began to be too lazy to explain.

All thoughts are also used to holding in my heart.

I learned to lie, I learned to act, I learned to pretend to be stupid, and I learned how to be a person who has nothing to do and wasted my time in the eyes of others.

However, when the meteorite rain came as scheduled, I looked up at the sky like a sea of fire, and I always felt that my silence had harmed the world.

There are some things that you know are in vain, but you have to try to do them.

The hope left in this world is like a spider's silk falling from a cliff, fluttering and swaying. When everyone felt that it was a wasted effort to catch it, I reached out - entering the game world meant losing all the memories from before. Not to mention waking up other players, even yourself, there is a good chance that you will never wake up.

Maybe I was wrong, but I stubbornly put on my watch.

My friends tied me to my bed in case I wandered around at night like the rest of the sleepwalkers.

Day after day, year after year.

I never woke up, but my friends, they never gave up on me.

Never.

It's like waiting for the barren desert to recover one day, knowing that there is little hope, but as long as there is a young shoot, they will pounce on it to protect it to the death.

When I put on CLORIS-NA, I was the young shoot.

They have never failed me, and how can I fail them. More than a decade later, I finally opened my eyes again.

Even if time flies, the road is long and difficult, even if you gradually forget why you set out in the first place, even if you keep losing your way on the way, even if you lose your original memory again and again.

I think that if I look back at the pre-apocalyptic world, I will continue to move forward after I wake up.

Someday, the world will return to its original form, if not identically.

But at least.

The wind is very similar, the sun is very similar, and the mountains in the distance are also similar.
