"Sleep together?" Ye Chuan looked at the white-haired loli in front of him. Though he didn’t mind the idea, he still ran through the rules in his head.
One of them explicitly stated that he shouldn’t make his little sister angry, right?
"Mm, okay." Ye Chuan agreed without hesitation. Besides, she was so cute—holding her while sleeping would probably be pretty comfortable.
Hearing his agreement, the little sister immediately broke into an adorable smile before turning around to fetch her pillow.
Night deepened, and by now, the sister had already climbed into bed first.
"Hm?" But when Ye Chuan lifted the blanket, he felt an inexplicable stickiness beneath him, as if the bed was coated with an invisible layer of slime.
He reached out, running his fingers over the surface, then brought them to his nose—no particular smell.
"What’s wrong, brother?" Noticing Ye Chuan sniffing his hand, a flicker of emotion passed through the sister’s eyes before she spoke up. "Is… the bed dirty?"
"Not dirty, no." Ye Chuan shook his head, turning off the light and lying down.
The moment he closed his eyes, he felt his hand being held. What should have been a soft, small hand instead gave him the sensation of gripping a tentacle.
Ye Chuan said nothing, continuing to rest with his eyes shut.
"Brother?"
"Brother?"
From another perspective, a mass of crimson flesh clung to Ye Chuan’s side, its fissures lined with dense, unsettling eyes. Seven or eight tentacles coiled tightly around his arm as the creature whispered, "Are you asleep…?"
As if testing his reaction.
But the next second, its movements froze—Ye Chuan’s breathing had steadied, his body completely relaxed.
Asleep?
Why?
The sister seemed puzzled. Why wasn’t he afraid of her? Everyone else she’d encountered before couldn’t stay calm in her presence.
None of them could ever truly treat her like a sister.
But this "brother" was different. He genuinely acted as if she were his little sister—unafraid, even patting her head and hugging her.
"Brother~"
"Thank you."
The bloodied flesh slowly spread over Ye Chuan’s body, contrasting eerily with his peacefully sleeping face.
The scene in the room sent the barrage of comments scrolling wildly—
[Absolute legend. This player’s mental fortitude is insane!]
[Sleeping while cuddling a pile of rotten flesh? Just how strong is this guy’s survival instinct?]
[If this guy gets an A-rank clear, I won’t even complain. Hands down the most unshakable player I’ve ever seen.]
[Some players do get help from monster families, but this level of acting is next-level.]
[No words. Is this guy a high-tier player or something?]
[Maybe he’s blind and can’t see her?]
[Yeah right. An A-rank clear in the Mute Academy? Getting a C-rank after surviving seven days would already be a miracle.]
The night passed without incident.
Morning arrived.
"Haah…" Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ye Chuan yawned as he woke up, only to find the white-haired loli still curled up beside him, her tiny hand clutching the hem of his clothes.
Her small, curled-up form looked both pitiful and endearing.
"I actually fell asleep last night without realizing. Was I just that tired?" Since he couldn’t save and log out, this was a rare instance of him spending the night in the adventure world.
"Mm, let’s see…"
Ye Chuan opened the daily rewards interface and noticed that rental fees and items in the adventure world didn’t refresh—likely because time there was frozen. Only the point shop had updated.
He immediately checked the tech section of the point shop.
[1. Missile Launcher]
[2. Hoverboard]
[3. Pathfinder Drone]
Oh?
Previously, Ye Chuan hadn’t thought much of tech-based weapons since Ke Ning’s favorability wasn’t high enough to unlock conceptual-tier items.
But in this world where spiritual energy was forbidden, these were actually useful tools.
And they weren’t even expensive.
[Item: Missile Launcher
Fires a devastating missile. Explosive aftermath will not harm you.
Ammo: 3]
[Item: Hoverboard
Allows for short-term flight.
Battery life: 5000 hours]
[Item: Pathfinder Drone
A scouting drone capable of scanning paths ahead.]
A hoverboard?
"Buy. All of it." After a glance at his points, Ye Chuan acquired all three items. Whether they’d be useful or not, having more tools was never a bad thing.
He even regretted clearing his inventory earlier—otherwise, the items Lan Xiaoke had dropped could’ve been handy.
"Mm…"
Ye Chuan opened Lan Xiaoke’s Occult Shop, which contained some talismans. But since they required spiritual energy to activate, they were useless here.
"That’s it for now."
After organizing his gear, Ye Chuan put away his phone—only to notice his sister had already woken up at some point, her eyes fixed on him.
When he turned his head, she immediately shut her eyes again, feigning sleep with practiced ease.
"Awake?" Ye Chuan chuckled.
The sister blinked open her eyes, pulling the blanket over her face sheepishly. "Hehe, good morning, brother."
"Morning. Let’s wash up and head to the academy." Ye Chuan got up to freshen up.
"Okay~"
The two acted like real siblings, going through their morning routine. Ye Chuan even wiped his sister’s face with a towel, which she seemed to enjoy.
"Brother~" The sister clung to Ye Chuan’s arm affectionately, her behavior growing increasingly intimate.
Ye Chuan wasn’t sure how close his character had been with her before, but he didn’t mind the clinginess.
The texture was a bit weird, though—he chose to ignore it.
He wasn’t oblivious. But since his sister was most likely a trustworthy entity, he didn’t care about the rest.
Even if she was a monster, in the dark, it made no difference.
"Let’s have breakfast." In the kitchen, their mother and father sat in the same positions as yesterday.
The mother smiled warmly, while the father expressionlessly read the newspaper.
On the surface, it was a perfectly ordinary scene. But after yesterday’s events, an undercurrent of eeriness lingered beneath the normalcy.
"Okay." Ye Chuan didn’t ask questions, simply sitting down as he had the day before.
"How was the opening ceremony yesterday? Were your classmates and teachers nice?" the mother asked cheerfully, though her gaze remained fixed on Ye Chuan.
"Pretty good. The classmates were all great—they helped me top up my meal card and even saved me a seat," Ye Chuan replied between bites.
"The teachers were nice too. When I didn’t return to the classroom, one even chased after me to escort me back."
"Is that so?"
At this, both parents’ eyes shifted to the sister beside Ye Chuan.
But the sister’s expression darkened, a flash of crimson flickering in her eyes.
"……" The mother and father fell silent.
