Who gave you permission to travel through time with Earth?

"Gulp... Pfft!"

Fang Jin was pulled out of the bathtub as if by an invisible rope from a cold abyss. Her whole body convulsed as she was pulled out, and she coughed violently and uncontrollably.

The fist-sized ice ball vaporized instantly, and the entire tank of ice water was completely boiled. Wisps of white steam rose from the skin, instantly turning the entire bathroom into a hazy mess!

Welcome back, Fang Jin.

Ignoring the cold mechanical sound in his ears, Fang Jin trembled as he stood up from the bathtub. Everything his hands touched was melted by his body heat, turning into bright molten liquid and collapsing!

Fang Jin staggered to the mirror, completely naked. Wiping away the hazy moisture, a body covered in cracks and charred remains came into view.

Fragments of skin were barely held together, with scorching flames flowing through the gaps. A dark shard of bone pierced through the left side of his chest cavity! All the light and heat originated from this.

"My heart was completely carbonized... The god who let me live must be a madman."

Fang Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly sinister smile in the mirror... The abnormality in his blood made it difficult for him to control his expressions.

"Cheer up... at least pretend to be happy."

He traveled through time... but unlike the usual romantic and magnificent stories, the background seemed to be the complete shattering of his home planet, and even his memories before death were suddenly blacked out as if he had drunk too much.

If he tried to recall, he could remember some vague scenes, but each one was different. Hundreds of ways to die were stuffed into his mind like a kaleidoscope, and he experienced them all as if he had multiple selves, absurd and bizarre.

The most frequent occurrence was a pure and complete burst of light and heat. He was thrown off Earth as if he had been flung away, and a charred and scalding foreign object broke off from the planet and crashed into Fang Jin's heart!

Fang Jin couldn't understand how he survived. After the Earth remnant passed the stage of killing itself, it took over the energy work in place of the heart, allowing his body to barely maintain balance.

At the same time, it brought him a leap in physical fitness. In a sense, his body had become a steel furnace, and the blood inside had been replaced with molten lava and fuel!

Transformed into molten steel and propelled into deep space, Fang Jin was like the Voyager spacecraft, destined for a one-way trip, until recently, when she was "captured" by this world in a hazy state of consciousness.

A virtual space that connects all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Click-clack..."

He suddenly pushed forward, and the entire washroom shattered like a glass house. The exposed electronic components, flashing with prisms, rearranged themselves into a simulated space unique to Fang Jin.

A deep blue panel rose up, like a chisel nailing into his field of vision, and Fang Jin’s most familiar characters quickly appeared on the panel’s surface.

Hello, illegal immigrants

[The universe is full of infinite life forms, and we warmly welcome guests from afar. Congratulations on reaching the required level of life. While there may be shortcuts, you are indeed qualified to become one of the players in the main world.]

[This is your simulated space. Please undergo four tests from the All-Heavens System here. After completion, external access to this space will be entirely yours, and you will witness the real world outside.]

[If you unfortunately fail... this will become your eternal prison. Players are advised to treat this matter with caution.]

As the panel was fixed in place, a digitized white shirt covered her body, concealing the charred heart and making Fang Jin appear somewhat frail.

The ice bucket is visualized on the glass table in front of me, with ice cubes rising and falling under the silvery-blue prism light, and two bottles of champagne colliding in the water, refracting a warm, amber-like glow.

"clatter."

Fang Jin's madness gradually subsided, while an overwhelming sense of exhaustion surged up within him. He rubbed his messy black hair, grabbed a bottle of ice wine, and slumped heavily into his seat, quickly scanning the panel.

Current test completion progress: 3/4

[The third test has now concluded. Main quest completed, side quests completed, dungeon difficulty Nightmare (Tier 1 beginner tutorial), rewards obtained...]

[Warning: Physical repair and balancing are complete, deducting 107 evolution points... Insufficient points, you are not yet a player, and the rewards obtained from the dungeon are temporarily withheld]

If points cannot be replenished after three attempts, the account will be wiped out.

...He downed a large bucket of iced drink, chewed up all the ice on the surface, and looked like he was about to laugh, but his eyes were narrowed like blades.

The higher the level of life, the more drastically the difficulty of the dungeon increases. Each of the three dungeons is more hellish than the last, as if they are trying to squeeze every last drop out of him.

The final dungeon caused his body to overheat to the point of near collapse. Fang Jin even actively extracted magma from the Earth's debris and channeled it into his body, keeping the countdown to mission completion down to the very last second!

"Are you sure this is the difficulty level of a 'beginner's tutorial'?!"

He questioned, and the system did indeed respond, which, after Fang Jin's emotional processing, roughly said: ...Yes, that's right, it's aimed at you. If you can't do it, then please just die right in front of me.

"..."

His hometown was gone. His parents, friends, and everything he remembered were all reduced to nothing in that inexplicable explosion, their fates unknown.

He survived on fragments of corpses from Earth, was immediately imprisoned upon arriving in a foreign land, and is now being manipulated and played with by this so-called system rules!

Every time Fang Jin thought of these things, it felt as if the piece of remnant in his chest was ignited, and his instinctive killing intent almost burned away his reason...

He took a deep breath, not of air, but of the condensation current in this simulated space that cooled the machinery, forcibly suppressing the surging anger and bone-deep hatred deep within his heart.

He can't go mad, at least not now... Fang Jin must survive and do everything in his power to become stronger with this system! Whether it's seeking revenge, saving lives, or finding the truth, without strength, it's all just empty talk!

If the mission fails, even if you return alive, you will be directly annihilated by the spatial forces.

Conversely, if you choose to forgo the third test, although this space will still become a prison, the unlimited supply of resources will be enough for you to enjoy yourself to the fullest.

[Should we begin the fourth test?]

Without rest time and without caring about your mental exhaustion, this choice appeared before Fang Jin for the fourth time, coldly and seductively flicking its tongue.

"..."

"call……"

That's enough... I've vented enough.

He tried to calm down. Faced with the panel that suddenly popped up, the impact of the third instance was immediately suppressed to a minimum by Fang Jin, and his originally scarlet eyes became as cold as jade.

The choice was made without hesitation.

[Start Now]

As soon as the deep blue cloud was pressed, it collapsed, creating a virtual void in its original location. A black pistol silently emerged from the center and slid off the table.

The way to start the instance is for yourself in the virtual space to lose consciousness simultaneously, but the system is not so kind as to wait for you to fall asleep; its perverse sense of humor has been evident from the very beginning.

The option he gave was "suicide".

The different suicide items provided are a small hint from the system before the test begins. The second test is a vajra that pierces the skull from bottom to top, causing the victim to die slowly in convulsions and stiffness.

"...At least this time it was much more satisfying."

Fang Jin smiled coldly, grabbed a mint out of thin air and put it in his mouth. As his five senses opened and the icy coolness entered his brain... he pulled the trigger of the pistol pressed against his temple.

"Bang!"

The sound of the body collapsing seemed even more jarring than the sound of gunfire.

[Dungeon...Open]
