Wang Xiao's life had been nothing but boring.
He worked a nine-to-five desk job where everyone moved like robots, arriving at the same time every morning, sitting behind the same desks, staring at the same screens, and leaving as soon as the workday ended. By the time he returned home, he barely had enough energy left to speak to his family, let alone spend any real time with them. His young daughter would often try her best to get his attention, tugging at his clothes or calling for him, but most of the time he simply ignored her, too exhausted to do anything except sit down and rest.
He had never imagined that one ordinary morning would change everything.
That morning, Wang Xiao woke up expecting another uneventful day. He had been looking forward to nothing more than a cup of coffee before heading to work and spending another long day behind his desk. But as he stepped out of the bedroom, he heard a strange groaning sound coming from nearby.
He followed the sound and froze.
