Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Wake up.

Mo Ming found himself in an unfamiliar setting. He rubbed his tired eyes, but instead of the familiar white ceiling he expected, he saw a simple gray wooden shed.

Instead of the familiar white hospital sheets, she was lying on a thin straw mat.

Am I in the hospital? Where am I?

Mo Ming, who thought he was still dreaming, quickly woke up from the biting cold and couldn't help but shiver.

Mo Ming tightened his thin clothes and suddenly sat up, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Mo Ming quickly understood his surroundings. It wasn't that he was particularly intelligent, but rather... the room was extremely rudimentary. The room was roughly 4 meters by 4 meters in length and width, and about 2 meters high.

The walls on all four sides, the canopy overhead, the floor underfoot, and the rickety little door were all made of wooden planks, making it a true "wooden box".

Apart from the straw mat under Mo Ming's buttocks, there was nothing else in the wooden house.

Yes, you heard right. There was only a straw mat, not even a bed, and the straw mat was tattered.

Even the wooden walls on all four sides and the wooden shed overhead were not intact, with irregular holes scattered throughout.

Every time a gust of wind blows by, the temperature inside the room drops a few degrees.

This dilapidated state of affairs added a touch of panic to Mo Ming's heart.

However, something even more terrifying was yet to come.

Before Mo Ming could even panic for a moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind.

Welcome to the world of mist!

From this moment forward, you will be bidding farewell to your old world and your comfort zone.

Here, you will experience unprecedented thrills; please strive to survive.

[Warning! This is not a game.]

Oh no! This is a game, only a game where you can't replay it, and people die! Hehehehe...

This is a survival journey starting from scratch, or rather, not exactly from scratch, because you still have a small cabin.

This is your foundation, and currently the only relatively safe place!

Power, money, status, fame... they are all fleeting.

Here, survival is the only true measure of success!

......

A world shrouded in mist?

game?

Survival?

Cabin?

alive?

Saying goodbye to the original world?

Leaving your comfort zone?

Everyone? Even the elderly and children came?

Mo Ming listened intently to the mechanical voice in his mind, his brain constantly processing the series of changes and digesting the incredible information brought by this unfamiliar voice.

For Mo Ming, there was no comfort to speak of in the original world at all.

Orphan, disabled, weakling, even the dean who cared for him died of a heart attack—these are the labels attached to Mo Ming.

This mysteriously appearing misty world might be a sudden disaster for others, but for Mo Ming, it might be... a rebirth.

Because he discovered that his leg had miraculously recovered.

"My leg has miraculously healed." Mo Ming grinned and said.

Before Mo Ming could say anything, the mechanical voice sounded again, this time sounding much colder than before.

[Humans are so weak!]

From this moment forward, fear will be your constant companion.

The nightmare of the misty world has only just begun.

You have no choice but to embark on this path of survival.

Please remember the following tips:

[Tip 1: The world of mist is vast and boundless, rich in resources and full of extraordinary opportunities, but it is also accompanied by enormous dangers. Please act according to your capabilities.]

[Tip 2: The cabin you are currently in is a basic shelter, a dilapidated cabin, which is the only relatively safe place for you in the Misty World at present.]

Please note! The cabin is your base. You can upgrade your dilapidated cabin by finding materials. In addition to the basic materials, adding different materials will have different effects on the cabin, and you might be pleasantly surprised!

Upgrading the cabin will unlock other facilities.

However, please be careful to protect your cabin, as natural disasters, attacks by wild animals, and human intervention can all damage it.

[Tip 3: The day and night cycle in the Misty World is not fixed, but the daytime will generally not exceed the nighttime. Please cherish your daytime, because the night in the Misty World is extremely terrifying.]

P.S.: Please stay in the shelter during the night, because outside you will face unimaginable terror.

[Tip 4: The importance of water, food, daily necessities, upgrade materials... cannot be overstated.]

[Tip 5: Please completely forget the natural laws and so-called science of your original world, because the natural disasters and the power of the wild beasts in this world are beyond your imagination.]

P.S.: To improve your survival chances, please upgrade your shelter as soon as possible and stockpile sufficient supplies.

Tip 6: There are no ghosts in this world, but there are things more terrifying than ghosts—humans. Please put away your worthless trust and sympathy, or you will be devoured, leaving not even bones behind.

P.S.: There are two things you can't look directly at: the sun and the human heart.

Tip 7: Please keep your survival bracelets on your wrists safe. They are not easily damaged, but they may be lost.

Through it, you can gain a deeper understanding of the Misty World, as well as communicate and trade with others... In short, it is extremely powerful.

How to use the survival bracelet: Inject your thoughts into it, bind it, and it's ready to use.

[Tip 8: The initial distance between each person and everyone else should be at least fifty kilometers.]

[Tip 9: Resource chests will randomly spawn around each player's territory every day; their level and quantity are random.]

Hehehe...hehehe...

The cold, mechanical sound stopped abruptly, and it took Mo Ming a while to recover.

He glanced at the milky-white bracelet on his left hand and inexplicably frowned.

Although the bracelet was close to his wrist, its presence... or rather, its tactile sensation was extremely low. If it weren't for the mechanical voice prompt, he wouldn't have even noticed that there was something extra on his wrist.

After a long while, Mo Ming finally accepted this miserable reality.

He, and all of humanity, were transported to this misty world.

Survival became the main theme.

Following the mechanical voice's instructions, Mo Ming focused his attention on the bracelet, and it actually reacted. A blue light shot out, and a blue virtual frame popped up in mid-air in front of him.

[The Mist World Survival Bracelet is activated. Would you like to bind it?]

"Bind!" Mo Ming didn't hesitate. Binding the bracelet was a must for survival, there was nothing more to say.

[Survival bracelet binding complete. Survivor information detected as follows:]

After the binding was completed, the blue virtual frame mapped by the bracelet changed slightly, becoming a rectangular information box with six columns.

The first section is "Introduction to the Mist World." Opening it reveals information about the Mist World, largely consistent with what the mechanical voice said; the central idea is:

Danger!Danger!Danger!
