After binge-playing a game for seventy-two hours, the single-player streamer Yang Yu, who made his living selling game guides, quietly passed away in his bed. Unaware of his own death, he was invited by a deity to conquer an RPG game, and was persuaded into choosing the hardest civilian starter. Couldn't even defeat a single slime after leaving the novice village? Want to learn a taunt skill but have to actually verbally taunt? And the gacha only yields trash? Faced with numerous hardships, he actually... got excited. A true gamer never fears challenges; they only fear the game being too easy. As his sparse panel began filling out, Yang Yu felt an unprecedented satisfaction swell within him, and he became addicted to making waves, unable to stop himself. 'Hey? There seems to be a lone hero up ahead. Watch as I turn him into a unit of combat power! Damn, I’ve been spotted. Hero, don't run away!'

Heartbreak isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of something new and, of course, something good. This is the story of a young man named Luke who, in his own mind, was born under a bad sign. He’s twenty years old and still a virgin, having never even been in a relationship. His teenage years were swallowed up by the family cafe, working to support himself and his two younger siblings after their parents passed away and left the shop to the children. As of now, he has been rejected by the girl of his dreams 100 times, a streak that has lasted from middle school all the way through college. But in reality, he is a handsome, hot guy. The proof is in the cafe’s customers, who are mostly women—ranging from students to career professionals—who come just to enjoy the coffee and get some eye candy by looking at the barista, Luke. Beyond that, the cafe has become a prime spot for matchmaking, because so many girls go there specifically to find a partner. What actually happened was that the 100 girls who rejected Luke felt a wave of regret when they saw his true, attractive appearance. On campus, he only wore plain, baggy clothes inherited from his late father because he saving money for cafe. Naturally, those 100 girls started flocking to the cafe, hoping Luke would confess his feelings to them one more time, and of course, this time they wouldn't turn him down. But since he already felt the sting of rejection, Luke simply ignored them. This is what triggered the girls to become miserable. If one of them was feeling down and a guy happened to approach her, they would start dating on the spot as a way to vent and erase the heartache. Or, for those who were desperate but still wanted to try, they would go outside, grab a random man, and make him an instant boyfriend just to make the indifferent Luke jealous—though in the end, those girls usually ended up actually dating the men they brought in. Luke had no clue this was happening, nor did he know that a System had attached itself to him. Every time a couple formed in the cafe because of him and completed a secret system task, Luke would receive a reward in the form of cash. Naturally, Luke was confused because he was suddenly receiving quite a lot of money out of nowhere. Eventually, he began to think, "The more I get rejected, the more money I'll get," without ever knowing the truth because the system inside him was a silent one that never told him a thing. This is the story of Luke's journey through his daily life, along with his two siblings and friends, who are secretly helped by a system that never shows anything except from behind the scenes, namely letting the girl who approaches him despair and then get a match in a cafe.

An unknown cosmic phenomenon is causing the Sun to lose mass at an alarming rate, gradually forcing Earth into a widening, fatal orbit. As temperatures plummet, an unforgiving winter engulfs the planet’s surface. Ecosystems collapse, countless species vanish, food chains disintegrate, and human life expectancy declines under the strain of famine and cold. In a desperate bid for survival, governments initiate genetic enhancement programs to engineer individuals capable of enduring the extreme climate. What begins as a noble scientific endeavor is soon corrupted by war, political collapse, and moral decay. In their desperation, humanity creates beings with blood so unnaturally hot it can evaporate moisture on contact, creatures who dare to call themselves human. Yet these engineered survivors carry a catastrophic flaw. Neural instability in certain subjects gives rise to a severe condition known as Gnosis: a perceptual distortion that reshapes reality itself. To them, the world becomes flesh. Snow resembles layers of fat, walls pulse like living hearts, and every leaf hangs heavy with veins and sinew. The grotesque becomes beautiful; the beautiful becomes grotesque. The cold did not merely freeze the world outside, it froze the human heart as well.
