“Hiss…”
“My head hurts so much… staying up all night is really deadly….”
“But… I think I had a dream about transmigrating into an eroge….”
Li Andy got up from the table, rubbed his eyes, and after seeing clearly what was in front of him, he couldn't help but freeze.
“Where is this?!”
The computer desk in front of him had, at some point, turned into an antique wooden table.
His brand-new 4K high-refresh rate monitor had also become a bronze mirror!
A dream?
Li Andy raised his hand and pinched his face.
“Hiss—it hurts…”
It seemed it wasn't a dream.
Then could it be… I really transmigrated??
Li Andy quickly got up to check his surroundings and found that the layout of the room he was in was identical to his own room!
However, all the furniture, like his clothes, had been replaced with items in the style of a feudal era.
“My computer’s 40 series host… turned into a cabinet?”
Li Andy frowned, pulled open the cabinet, and found a letter inside.
The envelope read—【To My Past Self】
Li Andy hesitated for a second, then tore open the envelope. Inside, there was only one line:
【The future of the world will be an apocalypse. My past self, please find the “Savior” and save the world.】
What the heck?
Besides ancient-style transmigration, there was also a future apocalypse element?
What kind of third-rate hybrid script was this?
Li Andy was a bit confused, but after a few seconds of thought, he gradually calmed down.
This letter might not be real.
First, he needed to see what kind of world he had transmigrated into!
He began to examine his body, trying to get more information.
He was wearing a grey long gown and pointed boots, resembling the attire of the Qing Dynasty.
But the ring on his hand had an industrial-era texture, which was very unusual.
Li Andy took out the ring; it felt strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He observed it carefully and actually saw an engraving on the inside of the ring.
“Isn’t this the icon of the game I played all night, ‘lost grim realm’?! ”
“Could this be game merchandise that transmigrated with me? Is this world related to that game??”
“Wait a minute…..”
“No, that’s not right. When did that game ever release such merchandise? Although the female lead and second female lead in the game were quite intimate, they didn't openly wear rings and get married!”
“Perhaps… it’s my cheat Golden Finger?”
“Hey, System Grandpa, are you there?”
Li Andy called out a few times neurotically, but received no response.
He quietly looked at the ring, and suddenly felt a strange pang in his heart.
It was as if he had lost something incredibly precious.
This ring… was very important.
Li Andy clenched the ring, frowned, and tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember any memories related to it.
“Did I lose my memory?”
That’s not right either… He remembered all his experiences from childhood to adulthood.
He even remembered the prescription he got when he was sick before.
The last moment of all his memories stopped at the instant he fell asleep after staying up all night.
“So, what I forgot are the later memories?”
Li Andy paused, amused by his own absurd guess.
While it made some sense, it was more likely a feeling of déjà vu.
The ring… he should put it on first. Maybe it’s an unactivated transmigrator’s cheat.
After putting on the ring, Li Andy searched the house again, and finding no other useful clues, he turned his gaze to the window framed by green foliage outside.
After a moment of thought, he dismantled a chair, picked a handy wooden stick, pushed open the door, and walked out of the house.
Outside, the view was expansive.
He and the house were located on a mountainside.
As far as the eye could see, mountains stretched continuously, peaks like waves.
Under the rendering of the setting sun, they appeared full of vicissitudes.
Like an ancient, colossal creature, dormant and sleeping.
“What kind of world is this exactly?”
Li Andy was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He planned to quickly scout the surrounding area before sunset.
Ideally, he could find humans to communicate with.
But he hadn't walked for ten minutes when he heard a chilling wolf howl.
“Wolves?!”
Li Andy furrowed his brows, fully sensing his surroundings while quickly moving back towards the house.
When he reached an open area, he saw three grey wolves with red fleshy growths on their backs chasing a girl.
The girl was young, wearing a jacket with rolled-up sleeves, scrambling frantically through the forest in a disheveled state.
Li Andy looked back at his house. Since it could be built deep in the mountains, it probably could block those parasitic monster wolves, right?
He hesitated for two seconds, then shouted towards the girl:
“Hey!! Run this way!!”
Yuquan Youxi looked up at the sound.
The moment their eyes met, Li Andy couldn't help but freeze.
She… Yuquan Youxi?!
He had cleared the game multiple times, so he couldn't possibly mistake that pretty, pitiable little face.
So, I really transmigrated to the world of lost grim realm??
Oh my god, this is a Cthulhu-esque world!
Damn it, what time period is it now?
Li Andy’s mind quickly analyzed.
Based on her younger appearance, and the clothing and geographical environment, the time was most likely before the game, when the female lead had not yet gone to New Continent and was still in her hometown!
“Help… help me!”
As Yuquan Youxi ran, her stamina started to give out. Between gasps, she accidentally missed her footing and rolled into a low-lying area.
Li Andy gritted his teeth, glanced at the distance of the strange wolves, and with the wooden stick in hand, charged down.
Those wolves were parasitic, they couldn't move fast, there was still time!
He took big strides, rushing down swiftly.
Blood surged through his body, and Li Andy felt as if he had been strengthened by some power.
There really was a Golden Finger?!
His heart swelled with joy, and he increased his speed. In just about ten seconds, he rushed to the girl's front.
“Grab my hand!”
Youxi instinctively reached out and was immediately grasped by him. She was picked up and held in his arms, and the familiar feeling made her momentarily dazed.
But Li Andy didn't notice anything. He sped up, the surrounding scenery rapidly receding. In no time, he was back at the house. As soon as his back foot stepped inside, the front door automatically slammed shut.
Outside, those strange wolves stopped a hundred meters in front of the house, seemingly afraid of something. After lingering for a while, they left reluctantly.
Li Andy carefully observed from the window inside the house. When they completely disappeared, he finally let out a slow sigh of relief.
But then, he couldn't help but murmur to himself, perhaps… he might even be able to defeat them?
Forget it, he should gather more information before making a judgment.
He turned his gaze back to Yuquan Youxi beside him, noticing that she was staring intently at his ring.
At this moment, Li Andy also discovered that Yuquan Youxi actually had an identical ring!
“Are you someone from Mother’s side?!” Youxi excitedly grabbed his arm with both hands.
Li Andy paused, pondered for half a second, and decided to make up an excuse to question her in return:
“I don’t know. I think I lost my memory. When I woke up, I was in this house. Who are you? What is this place? Why were you being chased by those strange things?”
Yuquan Youxi was stunned for several seconds, then bit her lower lip lightly and looked up, saying:
“My name is Youxi. You… might be from my kin.”
“This place… is Wei Lao Mountain!”
