Darkness enveloped everything.
The wilderness was silent, and a massive ruin stood alone in the middle of it.
Within the vast ruins, only a single bonfire gave off light and warmth.
Su Mu stood amidst the ruins, utterly confused.
Just a moment ago, he had been enjoying fine wine and chatting with the fair-skinned, long-legged, The First Beauty of M City at a banquet—
and now, he had suddenly appeared in the middle of a wasteland?
What the hell happened?!
Suddenly—
A mechanical, emotionless voice echoed from the sky.
[Welcome to the world of Yin energy revival. The Apocalypse Era of the wastelands is about to begin.]
[This is Blue Star's only chance at salvation.]
[Two billion humans from Blue Star have arrived simultaneously. You will be surviving here for a very long time.]
[Here, you will encounter countless opportunities—and even the possibility of eternal life.]
[In this world where Yin energy revives and ghosts run rampant,]
[Protect your Sanctuary and survive the end of the world.]
[Become the eternal ruler beneath this dark night!]
Listening to the voice from the sky, Su Mu took a deep breath and looked around.
All around were crumbling walls and broken structures, not a single truly safe place in sight.
The only relatively intact structure was the perimeter wall surrounding the Sanctuary.
Everything else was in ruins, as if a single push could bring it all down.
Outside the Sanctuary was a barren wasteland, and faint howls of wolves and eerie ghostly cries could be heard in the distance.
Su Mu felt a deep sense of helplessness.
He had finally become part of a top-tier wealthy family, ready to indulge in a carefree life.
But who could have predicted such a sudden twist of fate...
At that moment, the strange voice from the sky rang out again.
[Master of the Sanctuary.]
[From this moment forward, you will have a three-day novice protection period.]
[During this protection period, there will be no danger within your Sanctuary, and all buildings within it will be invincible.]
[Once the protection period ends, vicious beasts and Yin spirits will descend. If your Sanctuary is destroyed, you will lose your chance at eternal life, and unforeseen changes may occur.]
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light appeared in the sky.
Su Mu looked up.
In the once-pitch-black sky, a blue dot of light began to shine. It expanded and spread until it enveloped the entire Sanctuary.
The thin barrier brought a sense of security—and at the same time, an overwhelming urgency.
Three days of novice protection. Not long, but not short either.
This was a barren, civilization-less world overrun by ghosts and monsters.
To build a perfect Sanctuary in three days was nothing but a pipe dream.
Right now, the Sanctuary consisted only of a bonfire, a perimeter wall, and a flimsy wooden hut that looked like it could collapse with a single push.
"I wonder how the others are doing right now..." Su Mu stroked his chin and pondered.
Two billion people had been dropped into this world, yet he hadn't seen a single one.
Most likely, everyone had been scattered across desolate regions just like him.
This world might be even larger than anyone could imagine.
Just then, Su Mu noticed a faint blue light screen near the bonfire.
He walked closer and saw several categories displayed on it:
[Sanctuary Info], [Friends Info], [World Info], [Trade Space]...
Each category could be opened for more details.
Su Mu clicked on his personal information first.
[Sanctuary Master: Su Mu]
[Sanctuary Level: Level 0]
[Sanctuary Buildings: Perimeter Wall, Bonfire, Wooden Hut (Buildings can be constructed or upgraded by consuming resources)]
[Personal Strength: 0]
[Special Abilities: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Energy Stone: None]
[Army Size: None]
[Food: None]
[Wood: None]
[Stone: None]
...
"Zero strength, no special abilities?!"
Su Mu had assumed he'd have some kind of cheat as a transmigrator—turns out, he didn't.
So how was he supposed to play this game?
Constructing or upgrading buildings required resources, and he had none.
To obtain resources, he would likely need to battle the beasts and ghosts outside.
With a strength stat of zero, could a human body possibly fight off what was out there?
Su Mu shook his head helplessly and opened the other tabs.
The Friends Info and Trade Space were both completely empty.
Only the World Info was bustling with activity.
[World Announcement: To the two billion Sanctuary Masters from Blue Star—welcome to the world of Yin energy revival. Here, you will engage in fair and just competition. Here, you can obtain everything you desire, including power and eternal life.]
[What the hell is this place?! Why the hell am I here?!]
[Screw eternal life! They gave me a crappy wall, and there are like seventy or eighty tigers outside! I'm gonna be tiger food in three days!]
[Don't even talk to me—I'm by the ocean and the tide just came in. My bonfire went out!]
[You think that's bad? I've got a dozen vampires staring at me right now! I'm terrified!]
...
Su Mu squinted at the screen.
This wasn't going to work.
Some people were already in serious trouble.
Though things were still relatively safe now, if he didn't upgrade his Sanctuary soon, disaster would strike after three days!
Just as Su Mu was thinking this, a new chat message caught his attention.
[Guys, don't go outside! I just stepped out with one foot and almost got eaten alive by skeletons!]
[It's way too dangerous out there! I thought I'd scout the terrain a bit, but the moment I stepped outside my Sanctuary, skeletons started crawling out of the ground!]
[It's absolutely terrifying!]
Su Mu frowned slightly and looked toward the barren land beyond his Sanctuary.
If what that person said was true, then were there skeletons outside his Sanctuary too?
What should he do...
Going outside meant certain death. But staying put meant dying in three days anyway.
It was a despair so deep, one couldn't even see a glimmer of hope.
[Ding! Congratulations, host has successfully bound to the Entry Refresh System.]
A voice suddenly rang out inside Su Mu's mind...
