Synopsis
Han Yu was just an ordinary student, weighed down by dull days and dark thoughts. Fate played a cruel joke: his life ended under the wheels of a truck — a scene straight out of a typical isekai… but with no harem in sight. Yet, before everything was over, a mysterious angel appeared and offered him a chance to reshape the world he would enter. This new world is filled with cruelty, violence, and secrets. Can a young man transform it for the better, or will his dreams turn into a nightmare?

Chapter 1 - When Truck came

Today, I, Han Yu, a student at the cheapest university in China, failed yet another exam. They'd already warned me: if I kept bombing tests at this pace—and I only had one required exam left—they'd kick me out of this hellhole.

And if I got kicked out, I'd have nowhere to go. I lived off my neighbor's scholarship, and even he had it rough. My dorm was a nightmare: the toilet didn't work, so I had to pay to use a public one. Going home wasn't an option either. Mom had made it clear: "No diploma, no stepping foot inside!"

After a day like that, returning to the apartment felt heavier than usual. The city screamed around me—bright, garish signs of cheap restaurants, annoying advertising screens, arguing pedestrians. It was as if everything was designed to press down on me.

I stepped into the apartment, the smell of spicy noodles mixed with something… less pleasant. No one was home. My neighbor had gone to work, hauling for both of us. And I… I just collapsed on the filthy bed, scratching my beer belly, barely eating because money was always tight.

I didn't care about hygiene. Apparently, this was what depression felt like. But who cared about someone like me?

Instead of opening my notes, I grabbed another trashy isekai harem novel—full of shallow fanservice and almost no character development… Yet, somehow, it drew me in. I wanted to be a mage in another world too, surrounded by girls—tiny lolis or voluptuous beauties. In reality… who would want me? I hadn't showered for weeks, and my standards for girls were absurdly high.

My eyes stung with tears. I just hoped my neighbor wouldn't notice.

I felt guilty for him. He was kind, supporting both of us, working to keep food on our plates. And me? I just ate his leftovers.

Then my old Vivo beeped—it was a message from my father. He sent money. Unexpected, but… it was a reminder that someone still remembered me. My mood lifted immediately, and I texted my neighbor:

"Hey, dad sent money. You don't need to buy groceries; I got it this time."

I grabbed some cheap noodles and drinks and headed home.

Walking along the roadside, bag in hand, for the first time that day, I felt a lightness in my chest. And then… headlights.

The thought of suicide had been in my mind for months, but I always pushed it away—debts, obligations, survival. But now, seeing that truck… my dream, just like in the isekai stories, had come true. I would finally be reborn in a new world!

BANG!

"One, two… one, two…" someone's voice echoed.

Wait… I didn't die? And why am I not a newborn in another world?
