Yangcheng.
Municipal Hospital.
"Dad, Mom, Little Xue, I won't treat this illness anymore. Can you take me home? And... I want a Heavenly Dao gaming helmet, is that okay?"
"Son! Uremia can be treated, and kidney failure isn't without solutions. Mom won't let you give up!"
Tian Xiuying's tears flowed like a fountain as she choked up, grabbing Yang Yu's emaciated hand tightly, as if trying to pass on the belief in life to her son.
"Xiao Yu, don't worry about the money. Dad will handle it!"
Yang Jianhua didn't want his son to see him cry, so he turned away with difficulty.
"Brother, take my kidney!"
"I asked the doctor. If you use my kidney, the cost can be reduced by more than half, only needing two hundred thousand. We can still manage that by pooling our resources."
"Besides, I'm in good health. Losing one kidney doesn't matter!"
Yang Xue's eyes were filled with tears.
Her tone was resolute!
Hearing this, their parents felt even more heartbroken, unable to hold back their sobs.
"Silly girl."
Yang Yu forced a bitter smile and said, "You're only 18. How can I take your kidney? I'd rather die than ruin you!"
"Dad, Mom, Little Xue, don't worry. I'm not going to die so soon. I just don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."
"And... about the Heavenly Dao gaming helmet, is it possible?"
"Heavenly Dao gaming helmet?"
Hearing Yang Yu mention it again, his parents and sister exchanged puzzled glances.
For the past month, advertisements for the Heavenly Dao game had been everywhere on TV, online, and in daily life.
The promotion was unprecedentedly intense!
It's said that Heavenly Dao is a cross-era game jointly developed by multiple countries on Blue Star, using holographic simulation technology with a realism level of 100%.
There were even rumors that the game hid a shocking secret!
Tonight at midnight, it would officially launch!
Its price was also frighteningly high. Even the cheapest gaming helmet cost fifty thousand!
If you wanted to buy a gaming pod, it would cost at least three hundred thousand!
This was a price Yang Yu's family could hardly afford!
Years of dialysis and chemotherapy had already drained the family's savings.
To prepare for Yang Yu's surgery, his parents even sold their only old and shabby house.
Now they had just over a hundred thousand left, but that was reserved to save their son's life, and it was still far from enough.
Unless absolutely necessary.
This money couldn't be touched!
"Dad, Mom, Little Xue, rather than barely surviving with a kidney transplant, living sickly for a few more years and dragging you all down, I'd rather spend my remaining days freely."
"As for the Heavenly Dao gaming helmet, you know I'm good at gaming. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I can earn back the fifty thousand for the helmet soon. Can you agree to this?"
"Sigh..."
Dad let out a long sigh and nodded helplessly.
The doctor had said that if a kidney transplant couldn't be done soon, even with continued hospital treatment, Yang Yu would have at most one year to live.
The three of them thought Yang Yu had already resolved to die.
This was their son's last wish; how could they not fulfill it?
With heavy hearts, the three of them completed the discharge procedures for Yang Yu, and the Heavenly Dao gaming helmet was delivered to him by his sister that evening.
"Can this game really change my fate?"
Holding the gaming helmet, Yang Yu murmured to himself, lost in memories.
The reason he "willfully" asked his parents to spend fifty thousand on this helmet was because Yang Yu had just returned from a year in the future!
At that time.
Yang Yu had been tormented by illness to the brink of death.
Just as he was on the verge of death, he saw the sky suddenly split open with a pitch-black hole, from which countless demons and monsters emerged!
They were incredibly powerful, hideous, and terrifying!
They slaughtered and devoured everyone on Blue Star!
"They're monsters from the Heavenly Dao game, they've come out!"
"They've come out of the game!"
Countless people screamed in terror, fleeing for their lives.
In a daze.
Yang Yu also saw many Blue Star people in armor, wielding long spears and giant axes, soaring into the sky to fight the monsters!
They had surpassed Yang Yu's understanding, breaking the limits of Blue Star humans.
But under the endless waves of monsters, Yangcheng was still destroyed by a giant dragon.
On the brink of death, Yang Yu watched helplessly as his parents and sister died in a dragon's breath while shielding him!
Just as Yang Yu was about to die under the dragon's claw.
A ball of golden flame flew rapidly from the sky, instantly entering Yang Yu's brow!
When Yang Yu opened his eyes again.
He was back on the hospital bed he had lain on for two and a half years!
He didn't know why he was reborn.
But since heaven had given him a second life, he was determined to change everything!
Yang Yu didn't want to see his loved ones die at the hands of monsters while he was powerless!
Since those monsters came from the Heavenly Dao game, and there were people in Yangcheng who gained abilities from the game, could he do the same?
"Maybe, this game holds the key to my survival!"
......
11:30 PM.
Half an hour before the Heavenly Dao game launched, Yang Yu slowly put on the gaming helmet.
[Ding!]
[Identity verification in progress, please wait...]
[Name: Yang Yu, Citizen of Yangcheng, Dragon Kingdom.]
[Age: 21.]
[Binding identity information and bank card...]
Accompanied by this chime, Yang Yu vaguely heard the sound of crystals shattering inside the helmet.
The crystals turned into starlight, merging into various parts of Yang Yu's body.
Some light points entered Yang Yu's mind, but seemed to sense the presence of the golden flame, choosing to avoid it.
Yet they carried a joyful emotion, eagerly surrounding the flame!
Yang Yu didn't know if this situation was good or bad, but he knew his rebirth was closely related to this golden flame.
Since this flame allowed him to be reborn, at least for now, it shouldn't harm him!
[Ding!]
[Identity bound, please name your character!]
"Huakai Fugui."
[Sorry, this ID is already taken!]
"Uh..."
"Zongjiu Kuangge."
[Congratulations, your character has been successfully named. Now entering the Talent Sanctum to awaken your talent!]
A flash of light, and Yang Yu found himself in a golden sanctum.
Suddenly, beams of golden light burst from the walls, scanning Yang Yu's entire body.
The milky white light scanned repeatedly, carrying a hint of hesitation and surprise!
There was even a momentary pause!
After a long time, the voice came again.
[Ding!]
