Absolute Death Game

Xia Zuowei sat on a park bench, bored and lazy, watching a passionate couple not far away getting cozy with each other. As he saw them hug and cuddle, the man's hand reaching into the woman's neckline, accompanied by her soft moans, Xia Zuowei felt a certain part of him rise involuntarily.

"Not here, someone is looking," the woman whispered.

The man seemed to be getting impatient, "Let's go somewhere else, I know a good spot..."

The woman nodded slightly, and the man was overjoyed. Watching the two embrace and walk away, Xia Zuowei couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. Those two dogs probably went to get a room, so it seems the show is over for him.

He took out his phone to check the time; it was already 5:10 PM. Why hadn't Shasha arrived yet? He felt in his pocket and pulled out a somewhat wrinkled condom, which a buddy had given him on the day he entered university. Half a year had passed, and it was still unused in his pocket, which was pretty embarrassing. When would he ever get rid of his virginity?

Thinking about it made Xia Zuowei irritable. Since entering university, he had dated a few girls, but had been dumped before things could get serious. After all, he had no money, no power, was not good-looking and not tall, had no talent or special skills — he was as ordinary as it gets. It was no wonder he couldn't compete in the field of romance.

However, what he lacked inherently he tried to make up for with effort. Shasha was the girl he was currently pursuing; she was average-looking but had a good figure, which was quite an ambitious target for him. To win her over, he had racked his brains and spent a good amount of money on flowers and gifts. Finally, he had moved her, and they agreed to meet at the park today.

Green Dragon Mountain Park was known as a local make-out spot near University B, and if luck was on his side, maybe he could score tonight.

Thinking of Shasha's voluptuous thighs and firm breasts made Xia Zuowei's mouth go dry. Success or failure would be determined tonight. With this thought, he became a bit anxious and debated whether to call Shasha but was afraid of appearing too clingy.

("Wait a little longer, she might be held up by something. It's common for such things to happen; girls always like to be late,") he tried to convince himself, pulling out a novel he carried with him to kill time.

It was a fantasy novel he had borrowed from a bookstore. Since attending this second-tier university, his life had been nothing but boring. Reading books and playing games became his main entertainment.

Time flew by without him noticing, and when he checked his phone again, he was surprised to find it was already past 6:00 PM. The sky had darkened, but Shasha still hadn't come.

This time he couldn't hold back anymore and dialed the number.

He waited nervously; as soon as the call connected, he couldn't help asking impatiently, "Hello, is this Shasha?"

"Who's this?" Shasha sounded impatient, her breathing seemed hurried.

"It's me, Zuowei. We agreed to meet at Green Dragon Mountain Park."

"Did we?" Shasha's voice was intermittent, making Xia Zuowei feel strange. Suddenly, a moan reached Xia Zuowei's ears, and his heart sank. Although he had never experienced lovemaking, he had seen enough adult films to know what was happening.

"Who are you with?" he asked coldly.

Shasha didn't answer his question and said impatiently, "I can't... talk now... I'm busy, let's chat another time," — Beep! Beep! Beep! Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

The call was disconnected, and Xia Zuowei felt his heart bleeding. He had thought there was something between them, but to his dismay —

Was it because he had no money or power? Was it because he wasn't handsome? Fine, he really didn't have much to offer, but why then did she accept his flowers and gifts? Why didn't she refuse his invitations to dinner? If she wasn't interested, why didn't she make it clear?

The more Zuowei thought about it, the more depressed he became. He hated Shasha, he hated the man she was with, but most of all, he hated himself. Why couldn't he have one good quality — if not born rich, at least a handsome face could work.

The more he thought about it, the more suffocated he felt, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout, "God, just strike me with lightning and end it all!"

With a thunderclap, Xia Zuowei felt as if a massive wave had hit him square on. He was flung through the air and rolled across the grass before coming to a stop. He was dumbfounded. Was it real? Had the Almighty actually shown his power?

He turned to look, and a charred crater was just a few meters from where he had been standing. Looking up at the sky again, it was clear and sunny without a cloud in sight.

"Damn, it really happened!" Xia Zuowei exclaimed in shock, then suddenly had another idea, stood up, and shouted to the sky again, "God, might as well kill me with a million dollars in cash!" After yelling, he immediately hugged his head and looked up, but after a while, there were no signs of cash falling from the sky.
